Submissions through any other means will not be accepted. The handheld and backpack-mountable Lidar system must meet stringent performance and durability criteria suitable for diverse field conditions, including operation in temperatures ranging from below zero to above 50 degrees Celsius and in dusty environments with an IP 54 rating or better. Key performance specifications include a scanning range of at least 100 meters in bright daylight, a total system weight under 6 kilograms, scanning accuracy between 1 and 3 centimeters, and a pulse rate of 300,000 pulses per second or higher. The system must include referenced 4K RGB video and precise GNSS input for geo-referencing point cloud data. The complete package should come with the scanner, data logger with battery, cables, software, mounting accessories including a specialized backpack frame, and a three-year software maintenance plan.
