Invitation to Bid for Procurement for the Lofoten-Vestfjorden Aeromagnetic Survey 2011 (Lovas-11)

Norges geologiske undersøkelse (NGU)

The Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) will acquire an aeromagnetic survey in the Vestfjorden and the Lofoten-Vesterålen area (see enclosed map). The survey consists of a total of c. 58.000 line-km with a line spacing of 500 m and 1 km (NW-SE trending). Ferrying from the base at Bodø, Evenes and/or Solvær airport is additional. The flight altitude offshore and over flat coastal areas is 170 m and the magnetic sensor is towed 100 m below the aeroplane. Mountainous regions are to be flown at greater constant altitude of c. 1000 m a.s.l.. The survey consists of approximately 390 hours of flying (including ferrying), and NGU is inviting competent and qualified firms for bids on hiring a twin-engine plane with 2 pilots to carry out the survey.
In the optional offer for aircraft and crew, NGU will supply the necessary measuring instruments, operator and 'real time' DGPS navigation equipment. The instrumentation has previously been installed in Twin Otters and Piper Chieftains. Similar or equal two-engine aeroplane is required. The plane must have an endurance of minimum 7 hours with a speed of 225 km/h. The plane must be equipped with a radar altimeter. If there is a need for small modifications in the aeroplane before commencement of the flying, the operator has to cover the costs for the modifications that also have to be approved by the aviation authorities in Norway.
Bidders are encouraged to present optional bids (1) procurement of crew and aircraft or (2) procurement of crew and aircraft equipped with instruments for aeromagnetic data acquisition WITHOUT data processing services or (3) procurement crew and aircraft equipped with instruments for aeromagnetic data acquisition WITH data processing services.
Bidders presenting optional bids for data collection and processing should indicate the type of instruments offered, their performances, the methodology and quality control.
The bid quotations must be given in Norwegian kroner (NOK).
