Sole Source Contract for Wetland Predictive Modeling

The South Carolina Office of Resilience intends to enter into a sole source contract with Skytec, LLC for the development of a predictive model for wetlands on a statewide scale. The model will document the locations and extents of wetlands throughout the state, which is imperative given development pressures and the uncertainty regarding their jurisdictional status post the Sackett Decision. Skytec, LLC's technology partners, including Planet Labs, Microsoft, and ESRI, will be used to develop the model. The contract amount is $400,000.00. • The contract is for the development of a predictive model for wetlands on a statewide scale. • The model will document the locations and extents of wetlands throughout the state. • The contract amount is $400,000.00. • The contract is a sole source contract, meaning that only one vendor, Skytec, LLC, is being considered for the contract. • The vendor's technology partners, including Planet Labs, Microsoft, and ESRI, will be used to develop the model.
