Invasive Species Survey and GIS Mapping

The contract involves conducting field surveys and GIS-based mapping to identify and document the distribution of invasive plant species—Arundo donax, Phragmites, and Tamarisk—along the Salinas River corridor within Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties. The work requires on-the-ground data collection to locate, measure, and characterize population densities and spatial extent of these invasive species, followed by accurate geospatial analysis to produce detailed maps and datasets. The project aims to support informed management and control efforts by providing up-to-date, georeferenced information critical for resource conservation planning. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541370, which pertains to geographic data services, and is issued by the Resource Conservation District of Monterey County. The solicitation was posted on June 2, 2026, and the performance location is focused on the Salinas River corridor. While no specific set-aside status or point of contact is provided, the work is tied to environmental stewardship objectives in central California, with deliverables expected to contribute significantly to regional invasive species monitoring and suppression initiatives.
