Description
New York City’s Department of Parks & Recreation is seeking a qualified vendor to perform a comprehensive, city‑wide LiDAR survey of street trees and to generate a high‑precision, AI‑driven tree inventory. The contractor must collect ground‑based LiDAR data across roughly 8,000 linear miles of road right‑of‑way, process the point clouds to extract detailed tree metrics, and deliver a GIS‑compatible dataset and an interactive 3‑D digital twin. Strict performance standards—including ≤10 mm range accuracy, ≤10 cm positional accuracy, and specific metric RMSE thresholds—must be met, with a minimum QA/QC verification of at least 200 trees per borough. The contract is a one‑year award valued at approximately $744 k, with deliverables including workplan, geodatabase, metadata, digital‑twin interface, and a final technical report.
• Scope: ground‑based LiDAR capture, AI/ML processing, metric extraction, and 3‑D model creation for all five boroughs.
• Required metrics: tree height, DBH (single & multi‑stem), crown dimensions, leaf‑area index, health condition, and integration with existing ForMS inventory.
• Deliverables: workplan, ESRI‑compatible geodatabase, metadata, digital‑twin viewer, final report, and rolling QA/QC documentation.
• Technical standards: ≤10 mm range accuracy, ≤10 cm RMSE positional accuracy, specific RMSE limits for height, DBH, crown area, LAI, etc.
• Contract value: $743,723 total, one‑year term, with milestone‑based payments.
