Bid Description:
DEC is seeking proposals for the assessment of water chestnut populations using Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in tandem with Global Positioning Systems mapping to inform water chestnut operations and to monitor the long-term effects of the Water Chestnut Management Program in Lake Champlain. The work should build on preliminary UAS case studies performed for VTDEC in 2018 and 2019. The 2018 Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Water Chestnut report is available for review, the 2019 report will be available prior to the field season. Approximately ten remote sites in southern Lake Champlain and its immediate tributaries will be targeted for monitoring using UAS in 2020. A motorboat will be required to travel to sites launching from VT Fish & Wildlife Boat Access areas, and for launching and retrieving the UAS. DEC will provide an on-site supervisor to oversee and coordinate the management program. Up to $20,000 is anticipated to be available in funding between the project dates of May 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020.
