The NAICS code for this action is 541370 and the small business size standard is $4.5 million. Award will only be made to an A&E firm that meets the small business size standard and is registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database as required by FAR 4.11. The CCR is accessible at the following website: https://www.bpn.gov/ccr/default.aspx This Request for Qualifications requires the submittal of a Standard Form 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications (SF 330) Part I and II for consideration in the evaluation and selection process. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK The Santa Fe National Forest plans to secure a contract(s) for professional surveying services in support of the Golondrino Wildlife Management Prescribed Fire Project and the Southwest Jemez Mountains Landscape Restoration Project. These projects are designed for restoration and hazardous fuels reduction needs in order to minimize human health and safety risks. The Government reserves the right to award one or multiple contracts for this solicitation. The work will involve professional surveying which includes marking property boundary lines between Santa Fe National Forest Land and Private Land within the Santa Fe National Forest Proclamation Boundary.

Tasks include, but are not limited to, identification, monumentation, and perpetuation of property corners and controlling corners for land surveys performed to locate property boundaries, boundary line posting and maintenance of previously posted lines. Work may include retracement of Rectangular Surveys of the Public Land Survey System, including section subdivision, as well as retracement of Homestead Entry Surveys and Mineral Surveys which will require the results of the surveys to be recorded in the public record. The project includes geodetic control, mapping and other incidental work normally associated with the survey profession. Only firms with Registered Professional Surveyor(s) licensed in the State of New Mexico will be considered. The contract will not preclude the Forest Service from using its own surveyors, or other surveying firms to perform surveys in the project area.
