Line Item Description Qty Unit 001 Aerial Photography - Aerial Snow Markers in Eastern Oregon - Survey 1 Flight #1 1 LS 002 Aerial Photography - Aerial Snow Markers in Eastern Oregon - Survey 1 Flight #2 (Wallowa Markers) 1 LS 003 Aerial Photography - Aerial Snow Markers in Eastern Oregon - Survey 2 1 LS 004 Aerial Photography - Aerial Snow Markers in Eastern Oregon - Survey 3 Flight #1 1 LS 005 Aerial Photography - Aerial Snow Markers in Eastern Oregon - Survey 3 Flight #2 (Wallowa Markers) 1 LS Total Summary: Conduct three aerial photography surveys of snow markers in Eastern Oregon as listed in attached table with locations and approximate dates. The three surveys will be completed within these date windows: Jan 26 - Feb 3, Feb 26 - Mar 3, and Mar 29 -Apr 3. The first and last survey will consist of two independent flights as noted on the pricing schedule, will be for the five snow markers located in the Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon. The Wallowa flights will be conducted during the first and thirds time slots. Deliverable: Aerial photo of each snow marker via digital file transfer (email, ftp, web page) within 48 hours of survey completion. Specifications: The horizontal bars will be in focus and perpendicular to the photo angle (or close to it) so that the snow level is distinguishable from the photo. Also, it is best when the angle with the ground is lower so that the distance between the bars and snow surface is easy to distinguish. Each file will have name of marker and date of survey included in the name. Photos must be in focus and of sufficient resolution to provide at least 200 pixels x 200 pixels of the stationary target (after zooming in). Photos that do not meet the resolution and focus requirements will not qualify for payment. Photos that fail to meet the resolution and focus requirements may be reshot/reflown within the established date window to qualify for payment and delivered to the Government at no additional cost.
