I Introduction

The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a comprehensive set of spatial data that contains information about surface water features and a framework for linking water-related data (water quality, gage level) to the surface drainage network. This dataset will provide district staff the foundation to analyze, manage and display water resources. This data can also be integrated with hydrologic and water quality modeling

To fulfill the function of the NHD dataset, qualified consultants are required to correct, improve and update the linear network of the current high resolution NHD data created by USGS within the District boundary. The detailed tasks are outlined below. Completion of the tasks is expected to require the service of at least one GIS analyst on a full time basis with the possibility of additional personnel. The consultants will work closely with District staff and utilize District equipment most of the time.

II Scope of work

 Data preparation District staff will provide the source NHD data and prepare necessary equipment and software (NHD editing tool created by ESRI).

Tasks  Revising linear network, specific tasks:  Edit reach network to create a complete and continuing network  Assign reach hierarchy  Update reach names where missing  Modify/Correct flow direction in the network  Provide quality assurance for all editing  Create District-wide reach network;  Extract and quality assure a lakes GIS database from the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) dataset;  Contact District staff for necessary information during editing;  Prepare metadata for publication;  Attend meetings as required and demonstrate ongoing work. III Specific knowledge required /capabilities Intermediate level GIS / ArcMap skills Background or experience with natural resources GIS projects Water-related science or engineering background helpful Meticulous, detail-oriented individual Fairly self-motivated, but able to accept direction from us Able to interact with many District staff - we will need this person to pursue advice and knowledge from our project experts when questions come up

IV Timeframe and deliverables

This project is expected to start January 24, and it will take a full budget year. It is anticipated that at least one GIS analyst will be required for tasks associated with this work order. Additional personnel may be needed. These individuals need to work 40 hrs per week .

 Pilot study in Nassau River Cataloging unit: 21 days from the start day Complete Linear network editing in Ocklawaha River CU, Upper St. Johns River CU, Indian River Lagoon North CU, Indian River Lagoon South CU, Lower St. Johns River CU, Northern Coastal Basins CU The final deliverables should be in ESRI Geodatabase format with network structure. Metadata should be attached for editing procedures.

II Budget: $120,000
