R--BATHYMETRIC LIDAR SERVICES

Sources Sought

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Arizona Water Science Center Hydrologic Research and Investigations section requires the use of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system that allows for scanning channel surfaces submerged under water. Bathymetric LiDAR that works on a wavelength (1550nm) is required, as that allows for such water penetration to accurately detect the bed surface of a channel containing water.
