Baseline Documentation Reports - Forest Legacy Program 2026

The Department of Forestry seeks a qualified vendor to produce Baseline Documentation Reports (BDR) for a series of forest tracts acquired under the Forest Legacy Program. The BDR will capture conservation values, current conditions, and easement details using maps, photographs, written descriptions, and drone‑derived imagery to establish a reference point for future monitoring and tax‑benefit qualification. • Produce comprehensive written reports for each listed tract (e.g., Edwards, Hargraves, Hugh Smith, etc.) documenting ecological, cultural, and physical attributes. • Generate high‑resolution aerial and drone imagery, including orthomosaics and topographic overlays, to support visual baseline records. • Compile GIS‑ready maps and property boundary data that align with easement legal descriptions. • Deliver all deliverables in electronic format (PDF, GIS shapefiles, image files) by the contract close date. • Ensure reports meet federal and state conservation reporting standards and support landowner tax‑benefit qualifications.
