PROJECT SPECIFIC PRE-QUALIFICATION Pre-qualification No. PPD - SRA-00188 Photogrammetry & Aerial Mapping Nevada Rail - Caliente Corridor Yucca Mountain Project Due Date: January 26, 2004, 4:00 p.m. PST INTRODUCTION Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC (BSC) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) and to subsequently award one or more Photogrammetry & Aerial Mapping Subcontract(s) for the Nevada Rail Caliente Corridor. The RFP will be made available only to pre-qualified firms or teams. To potentially achieve pre-qualification and receive an RFP, respondents must submit 1) a completed Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Standard Form 254 (Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire) or equivalent, and 2) a completed Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Standard Form 255 (Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Project) or equivalent. Item 1) should be submitted with information for the lead firm (or for each lead firm if a joint venture) and for each consulting firm or independent associate on the team. Item 2) should be a single submittal on behalf of the entire team. Item 2) should provide respondent's approach to the project including, on a team basis, project personnel by discipline; outside consultants or associates; brief resumes of key personnel including the senior technical manager and key technical personnel; work experience (last 5 years) by team firm members which best illustrates qualifications relevant to the project; work being currently performed by the lead firm or joint venture members directly for Federal Agencies; and additional information (technical approach, summary work plan, description of computational and other resources, etc.) that support team's qualification for the project. Failure to complete a either form may be reason for non-qualification of a team. This procurement has been designated as a Small Business Set-aside by BSC under NAIC's Code(s) 541360 or 541370 and response is limited to those firms who have registered with, and have a profile in, the U.S. Small Business Administration PRO- Net database. SCOPE DESCRIPTION As part of the Yucca Mountain Repository development efforts, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the Caliente rail corridor as its preferred corridor in which to construct a rail line in Nevada, and Carlin as a secondary preference. If the Department adopts the mostly rail mode in Nevada, DOE will issue a Record of Decision selecting a rail corridor no sooner than 30 days after publication of the preference announcement in the Federal Register dated December 29, 2003. The primary Caliente Corridor originates at a junction with the Union Pacific mainline near Caliente, Nevada and extends 319 miles to the Yucca Mountain site, which is 90 miles to the northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada (see Figure 1). The corridor is nominally 1/4 mile (400-meters) wide and consists of a "primary" corridor along with "secondary" options and tertiary options (alternatives)which together total approximately 546 miles in length. After completing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on alternate rail alignments within the corridor, DOE will identify, in a Record of Decision, a rail alignment within the corridor. Work Elements The Work in general shall include but not be limited to the following: - Ground control survey - Acquisition of high resolution ground surface elevation data - Color aerial photography - Logging airborne Global Positioning System (GPS) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data simultaneously with photography acquisition - Analytical aerotriangulation - Digital planimetric mapping - Digital terrain model (DTM) mapping - Edited 5foot contours from DTM mapping - Edited 2foot contours from DTM mapping - Digital orthophotos with a nominal pixel resolution of 0.5foot. Edited 5 foot contours from DTM mapping for all 546 miles are required approximately four months after Notice to Proceed. Edited 2 foot contours from DTM mapping for approximately 350 miles are required approximately 10 months after Notice to Proceed. Subcontractor's Work Performance and Organization The SUBCONTRACTOR shall perform all work at his (and his lower tier subcontractor's) own offices and at field locations. The SUBCONTRACTOR shall establish a project organization for performance of the work and shall actively manage, integrate and control all of the tasks required. The organization shall be led by a permanent senior technical manager who shall be the principal point of contact between CONTRACTOR and SUBCONTRACTOR and shall be responsible for all aspects of the SUBCONTRACTOR'S work. The senior technical manager shall coordinate, direct and manage all work performed by the SUBCONTRACTOR at SUBCONTRACTOR'S project office, third tier subcontract work wherever performed, and field location work of whatever type and wherever performed. It is anticipated that in the day-to-day conduct of the work, SUBCONTRACTOR'S personnel will be interacting and communicating with counterparts, project engineers, or managers within CONTRACTOR'S staff.
