Task  1. Perform a complete hydrographic and topographical survey of the Caribbean Sea.

It is envisioned that a totally new hydrographic and topographical survey will have to be performed in order to produced computer generated maps with an accuracy of 1 meter. Available maps and charts require modern digital mapping techniques in conjunction with modern Differential Global Positing which uses five or more GPS satellites to insure proper geodetic location. It is anticipated that aerial photographics of the Caribbean Sea will be required. The contractor may negotiate the procurement of the aerial photographics with other Caribbean Sea agencies as necessary or contractor can provide the necessary equipment. The contractor will need to supply the DGPS and control points during the photographic mission. Side looking SONAR is available for hydrographic mapping, again the contractor may negotiate with other Caribbean Sea agencies as necessary or the contractor can provide the necessary equipment.
