The telemetry services will track animal movements, providing vital information for research and management. Key tasks include delivering location data in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet alongside GPS track logs within 24 hours of flights, which will occur based on a schedule determined by NPS staff. The project's success mandates strict adherence to accuracy standards, with tracking locations required to be within 200 meters. Spot checks will ensure compliance, and failure to meet standards can lead to contract termination. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to wildlife management and conservation through technology while emphasizing the importance of confidentiality and proper data handling throughout the project.
