Hello colleagues,
The USGS 3DEP elevation program FY2019 cost-share opportunity is now open via the Federal BizOpps website.
https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=968bda97cbb5a8bf6cd3bb2ab55a8ceb&tab=core&_cview=0
This should take you directly to the announcement, or go to FBO.gov and use keyword 3DEP or solicitation number 140G0118R0037
The 3DEP website also contains the links and reference maps (with shapefiles) for looking more closely at various federal agency requirements and overlaps. https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/3dep/fy19baa
The first round of proposals is due Nov. 9, for projects we can consider given federal budget status and funding availability. The solicitation remains open throughout the year, and funds get added also throughout the year. Please note, we have implemented a new procedure (Attachment C) whereby you can request a preliminary Independent Government Cost Estimate (ICGE) prior to finalizing your proposal; we need several weeks to turn this around, so please plan accordingly. We are also shifting to the CONUS Albers Equal Area indexing scheme (Attachment B).
Questions on the BAA can be submitted to gs_baa@usgs.gov
Apologies for possible duplication of postings.
Thank you,
Carol and Drew
