Description
The Idaho Department of Lands is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct a post‑fire regeneration (stocking) survey of approximately 8,985 acres in the Mustang Fire area of the Salmon‑Challis National Forest using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The contractor must fly drones over roughly 80 units, process high‑resolution imagery, calculate live‑tree counts per acre, classify stocking levels, identify contiguous under‑stocked polygons of ten acres or more, and perform limited ground‑truthing as agreed in a pre‑work conference. Deliverables include georeferenced PDFs for each unit, an ArcGIS‑compatible geodatabase with TPA data and under‑stocked area layers, an Excel summary, and a ground‑truthing data package. The contract is a one‑year firm‑fixed‑price award with up to four one‑year renewal options, and payment is made within 60 days of proper invoicing.
