Kahuku Ranch Cultural Resources GIS Data Collection

The National Park Service intends to award a single source justified cooperative agreement to the University of Hawaii at Hilo for the project "Kahuku Ranch Cultural Resources GIS Data Collection". The project aims to prepare Geographic Information System (GIS) data for historic buildings and structures within the Kahuku Ranch portion of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The project will involve reviewing existing GIS data, field verification, and digitization of features not included in the existing data. The project will contribute to a greater public understanding of the cultural significance of Kahuku Ranch and provide valuable hands-on experience in historic preservation documentation to University of Hawaii at Hilo staff. The key objectives of the project include: * Reviewing existing NPS GIS data for Kahuku Ranch and organizing the data by feature class in GIS * Field verifying the accuracy of existing GIS data * Collecting missing GIS data for cultural landscape survey * Preparing a geodatabase with all organized data based on the NPS Cultural Resources Spatial Data Transfer Standards
