- Description
- This Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source is for informational purposes only and shall not be considered a solicitation, obligation, or commitment by the Government. The requirement is for the Contractor to develop spatial models to identify, measure, and quantify patterns of existing Ecosystem Services relative to pads, roads, and other energy development infrastructure on the Colorado Plateau. All data collected and information catalogued must be from using cloud computing in Google Earth Engine (GEE). The original requirement was awarded to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAERI) Order Number G17PX00757 on a Sole Source basis. While performing the services additional, unanticipated requirements developed. Specifically, much of the vegetation changes occurring on abandoned oil and gas pads is not natural vegetation as expected, but the invasive Bromus tectorum. Additional studies and analysis of this not natural vegetation, using the same protocols and procedures on the previous studies is critical to maintain data integrity and continuity. Additionally, BAERI has developed GEE-based dryland remote sensing models, which required considerable effort in development, testing, and accuracy assessment. These algorithms are novel, unique, and advanced. Recreating any such algorithm would be redundant and a waste of resources already expended. The last two years of this project are based upon the dryland vegetation models already developed. Interested parties will submit an email detailing their capabilities and experience with these services. Sufficient information must be provided to demonstrate the ability to complete the services. This is not a Request for Proposal or an announcement of a solicitation. Responses are due no later than 12/04/2017 1000 PST. Response may be submitted to Stewart Evans by email at sevans@usgs.gov. All responses shall be limited to 10 pages, double spaced, Font 12, Times New Roman text, and standard margins. No hard copies will be accepted. POC: Stewart Evans (916) 278-9334.
