Subject: Re: West Coast El Nino Lidar

Hey everybody,

The formal quote to map the entire U.S. West Coast + the strait of Juan de Fuca came in at $740k, much lower than expected. Nevertheless, with an estimated $440k in the bank, we still need ~$300k to get this done for quality level 1 (> 8 pts per sq m).

Please let me know ASAP if you have tracked down any additional funds to support this effort, or have other contacts to ping. If we don't get sufficient funds we will have to consider a more limited geographic scope and/or lower quality level. We have to proceed in moving forward with contracting by Feb 5 to make this happen.  Thanks!

Patrick

Hey everybody,

Our proposal with the 3DEP program seems to have traction (original statement of support is attached). I have a call with the program manager on Thursday to discuss how to move this forward, hopefully to a positive outcome. I am just checking in one last time to see if anybody has any leads on additional funding to further sweeten the pot for this ~$2M project so we can clearly demonstrate to the program the outside support for this effort and hopefully push it to the top.

Thus far we have:

~$230k from USGS Coastal and Marine Geology
~$5k from Oregon Parks and Recreation Department

and a number of agencies who weren't sure 3 weeks back. Please let me know ASAP if anyone else can tenatively commit to further supppot this effort prior to my call on Thursday.

Thanks!

Patrick
