RECOVERY----ARRA: UTAH GCDB ANALYSIS AND ERROR DETECTION (FIXAN)

The Bureau of Land Management has utilized a Blanket Purchase Agreement and awarded the subject order to Premier Data Services. A Modification (0002) was issued Sep. 21, 2010 to utilize an option line item in the original agreement (L10PB00476) to complete approximately 960 additional townships under this order. Additional funding in the amount of $95,685.81 is obligated against this order. Below is a description of the requirement. The Bureau of Land Management has been compiling survey information and GPS positions to accurately portray the Public Land Survey System in support of parcel based recording, analysis and display of geographic information. This information called the Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB), however, has been assembled in a series of ASCII flat files and need to be converted to a GIS format to support stakeholders and customers for the information. The Western Governors Association has recognized GCDB as the best hope of standardizing cadastral information in the West in support of livable communities as well as economic development. In order to make GCDB a more accessible and useable product, it is being converted to the GIS format used by BLM. This task will improve GCDB data in designated priority areas and improve topological integrity and attribution of the data. The vendor shall complete this conversion process for the BLM on approximately 1603 townships.
