REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Plant Inventory Survey
Atantåno Heritage Preserve

SCOPE OF WORK

1. Overview
   The Guam Preservation Trust is seeking proposals to prepare a Plant Inventory Survey (PIS) for the Atantåno Heritage Preserve.The Atantåno property is located between the villages of Piti and Santa Rita. The property incorporates two lot parcels: Lot 15 (325, 027+ sq. meters) and Lot 16 (372, 485+ sq. meters. The Atantåno property is appraised as “underdevelop” for M-2 Heavy Industrial zoning.Located east off Route 2A towards the village of Agat, Atantåno is surrounded by private and public properties. Geographically, the property is bounded to the east by Mount Tenjo and the Tenjo river in the northeast. The
   Paulåña River meets the Atantåno River in the southeast portion of the property, defining the Atantåno River wetlands, which bisect the property.
2. Objectives
   1. The contractor shall perform a baseline vegetation survey to understand the vegetation classes present in the site, including information about the types and relative abundance of invasive species as well as native species associated with ravine forests, disturbed forests, savannas, and other habitat types that may be present at the
      site.
   2. The survey should conform to recognized ecological methods to determine baseline information that will shape future management actions intended to restore or enhance ecosystem function at the site, promote biodiversity, restore or enhance native species abundance in the site, and protect significant natural and cultural resources present within the site.
3. Progress Reports, Final Report, and GIS Maps/Database
   1. Progress Reports. The Contractor shall prepare monthly progress reports due within the first 5 calendar days of each month documenting the status of the survey and plan development. The report period shall cover the first through the last day of the previous month. The reports shall include the following: project name, report date, period covered (first day through last day of month), personnel involved, work completed during the time
      period, percent completed on each work element (to match the invoice submitted for the same month), data collected, copies of field data sheets and maintenance logs used to record data, significant status updates regarding the plants (including but not limited to photo documentation of the threatened and endangered species), problems encountered and resolutions/action items, work planned for the following month, and any updates or changes to
      the contract. Monthly progress reports must be accurate. If inaccurate or incomplete information is included in a progress report, the Contractor shall submit a corrected report for that month within 5 days of Trust request.
   2. Draft and Final T&E Survey Report and GIS. Fifteen (15) days from completion of survey upon which the Contractor will submit a Draft Final Report with T&E location maps and draft GIS data for Trust review. The Trust will have ten (10) days to review and submit comments on the Draft Report and associated maps. The Contractor will incorporate Trust comments and submit a Final Report with T&E maps and final GIS data seven (7) days after receiving Government comments.
   3. GIS Standards
      1. Mapping Grade Global Positioning System Requirements. ESA- listed plant location data shall be collected with survey-grade GPS data collection. Horizontal accuracy for survey grade GPS data collection shall be + 1 centimeter at 1 sigma unless otherwise specified in the statement of work. The maximum allowable degree of error for survey grade GPS data collection shall be + 100 centimeters. Any features collected that exceed this degree of error will be rejected and tagged for recollection. Every effort shall be made to capture feature locations without using offsets unless obstructions are present. Data sets derived from GPS data collection efforts shall include metadata to record descriptions of the receiver and other equipment used during collection and processing, base stations used for differential corrections, software used for performing differential corrections, estimated horizontal and vertical accuracies obtained, and conversion routines used to translate the data into final geographic data delivery format.
      2. Geospatial Data Software Format. Geographic data must be provided in a form that does not require translation,
         preprocessing, or post processing. All digital geographic maps and the related data sets shall be delivered in a SDSFIE compliant file geodatabase format (Access database file) utilizing the latest version of ArcGIS.
      3. GIS Data Sets. The Contractor shall develop all geographic information in a structure consistent with the most current version of the Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE), also known as the National Committee for Information Technology Standards 353. Currently the version used is SDSFIE 2.7. The SDSFIE format shall be followed for geospatial database table structure, nomenclature, and attributes.
      4. The Contractor shall fit collected GIS data into the named feature classes and populate feature attribute
         information into provided fields. If the Contractor does not find the appropriate field for their data, they may create the fields as needed.
      5. All data coordinate systems shall be in UTM WGS-84 55N and projection provided in Universal Transverse Mercator projection, the above zone, and in meters. Dates of surveys and correct scientific species names shall be populated in the attribute tables. All spatial duplicates shall be removed from GIS data. The Contractor shall provide a PDF copy of all maps associated with the GIS data.
      6. All constructed maps shall have the associated ArcMap Document File (MXD) delivered to allow for future printing and modification. MXDs shall use the relative paths option or layer packages. The Table of Contents (TOC) within the MXD shall be orderly and contain a logical naming structure.
      7. Geographic data shall be delivered on a CD or digital versatile disc (DVD); electronic data delivery may suffice for draft deliverables.
      8. Data dictionaries may be used to assist with data collection in the field.
         1. Metadata must be included in the final GIS deliverable. Metadata for each individual dataset shall be populated to meet basic data population standards as identified in the ESRI standard template. Additional data shall be provided as appropriate, including, at a minimum:
         2. The name and description of the data set or layer.
         3. The source of the data and any related data quality information such as accuracy and period of content.
         4. Describe the data collection method or survey protocols used; a report citation can suffice.
         5. Description of the equipment or instruments used in the data collection
         6. Scientific names of all the federally listed species to populate in the attribute tables.
         7. Define all codes used in the data fields in the appropriate attribute definitions.
