Cooperative Agreement
Description
This is a continuing 2017 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative - Cooperative Agreement for an on-going project to operationally monitor and map changes using remote sensing technologies across the Great Lake Basin in collaboration with the University of Minnesota and SharedGeo who are part of the Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computing (GLCPC). The University of Minnesota holds the satellite imagery and algorithms being used in this project through a unique federal partnership which would be infeasible through any other approach. SharedGeo is a non-profit with the supercomputing skills used to process the data into GLCPC. The university has already demonstrated the unique and complimentary technical and computing features to accomplish the main goal of the project with is wetland and habitat changes over time. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has substantial involvement since it is 1) guiding the product development on behalf of our conservation partners; 2) acting as the federal link to requesting future satellite imagery collects that would be impossible at a state or local scale since we are using federally licensed commercial satellite imagery; 3) the federal partner to an MOU with Natural Resources Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada on behalf of this binational effort to restore and oversee the Great Lakes system. This is a notice of intent to award single source cooperative agreements to the University of Minnesota and SharedGeo without competition under justification 505DM 2.14. B. 1, 2 and 4. Competition for the award is not practical as the eligible applicants have the necessary experience and resources to accomplish this project. This is a collaborative project to fuse the past strengths and accomplishments of the applicants into a derived multi-temporal habitat and wetland change mapping program.
