DRA-6888 - USA (Las Vegas, Nevada) - Occupancy and Drone Surveys Services - Deadline November 6,2024

Vendor needs to provide occupancy and drone surveys services to the government authority located in Las Vegas, NV.– Surveys shall be conducted when ambient air temperatures are between 18 degrees Centigrade (°C) and 35°C (approximately 64 degrees Fahrenheit [°F] to 95°F).– A field crew, consisting of two surveyors, will walk 10–meter belt transects back and forth across the unit, beginning at the nearest corner of the sample unit. While walking transects, the first surveyor is responsible for tracking their movements within the unit to ensure they remain within the boundaries of the given transect. During the survey, surveyors are expected to deviate from the belt transect to effectively inspect all bushes, shrubs, suspected burrows, etc., to achieve 100% coverage of the sample unit.– Surveyors can confer to determine occupancy and record data as appropriate, then surveyors should resume the belt transect. Belt transects in each subsequent round shall follow the same cardinal direction as the first.– Surveyors will travel between sampling units, at 10 meters apart, on the most direct route possible. All tortoises and burrows located while moving between sampling units will also be assessed. Tortoises and active burrows shall be spatially recorded and noted as incidental observations.
