Dept of Environmental Services-NHIssuing agency·New Hampshire·via the NH DAS Procurement & Support Services portal• Conduct field data collection in the Kingston Quadrangle and deliver a seamless bedrock
geologic map that is accurate with respect to the field data, and internally consistent in the interpreted delineation of map units, in electronic point and line format; where working on paper becomes absolutely necessary, and with prior discussion with and approval of the state
geologist, a paper scan may be submitted, which must be legible to ensure the delineation of bedrock geologic map units in the area.
• Collect data on the mineralogy, texture, lithology, contacts between lithologic units, strike and
dip of fractures (including faults and joints), and other discontinuities with attention to such structures that may be water-bearing, bedding, foliations, and the trend and plunge of fold hinges and lineations at all bedrock outcrops and exposures that may be practicably accessed.
• With the exception of exposures that are too small spatially to be represented as a polygon on a
1:24,000-scale map product, mapped bedrock exposures shall be delineated as polygons rather than points. Larger and clearly defined bedrock exposures should be mapped as polygons, while small, isolated, or limited extent exposures may be recorded as points when polygon delineation is impractical.
• Obtain and record the location, orientation, and type of planar and linear features in bedrock
outcrops during field mapping and provide to NHGS as the data is collected.
• Collect high-quality photographs of major geologic features, which shall be provided to NHGS as
raw digital image files, separate from inclusion in a Word or PDF document.
• Permission will need to be obtained from landowners before entering private property, which
may be obtained in writing or verbally by speaking with landowne
The contractor must conduct field data collection in the Kingston Quadrangle and deliver a seamless bedrock geologic map in electronic point and line format; collect data on mineralogy, texture, lithology, contacts, strike and dip of fractures, bedding, foliations, and fold hinges; delineate bedrock exposures as polygons where possible; record location, orientation, and type of planar and linear features; collect high-quality photographs; obtain landowner permission for access; perform laboratory analyses (thin sections, whole-rock geochemistry, crystallization ages, detrital zircon) as needed; perform petrographic analyses; provide data output and interpretations; attend a one-day field conference; participate in a Microsoft Teams-based map review; produce a 1:24,000-scale geologic map in PDF with specified elements (GeMS format, NHGS template, USGS symbols, FGDC standards, cross-section, etc.); and produce a companion document of 550–5,500 words.

Most New Hampshire work asks for the two below, and the solicitation documents are where it’s stated. One prequalification covers both — on this bid and the next.
A surety’s written statement that it expects to bond you up to a stated amount, subject to final underwriting. It’s what a GC or agency asks to see before they take your bid seriously.
