- NOTICE OF INTENT - This is a notice of intent, of the US Forest Service, Chugach National Forest, Anchorage, Alaska, to negotiate a modification against purchase order AG-0120-P-09-0057 with Alaska Geographic, 810 E 9th Avenue, Anchorage AK 99501. Prior to the award of AG-0120-P-09-0057, a notice of intent to sole source, AG-0120-S-09-0046, was posted on Federal Business Opportunities on 6 May 2009 for 15 days. The notice requested vendors to furnish capability statements demonstrating their experience, skills and ability to fulfill the Government's requirements. No responses were received and no inquiries were made in reference to the notice of intent to sole source. Purchase order AG-0120-P-09-0057, was awarded on 28 May 2009 for $25,000. A second notice of intent to sole source was posted on Federal Business Opportunities on 20 April 2010, AG-0120-S-10-0025, for 15 days. The second notice was posted to modify purchase order AG-0120-P-0057 for an additional $34,500 and for possible additional $14,000 pending funding. The notice requested vendors to furnish capability statements demonstrating their experience, skills and ability to fulfill the Government's requirements. Four responses were received and the Forest Service determined that a sole source modification of the purchase order was in the best interest of the Government. This notice of intent is to modify the purchase order for the redesign of the existing content management system. The original design of the website is the intellectual property of Alaska Geographic's design and publication staff. This same team is integral to ensuring that the original design elements of the site are integrated appropriately into the redesigned site. Alaska Geographic is the publisher of the current Sound Stories website and currently has the authority to conduct the necessary redesign of the content management system and enhance the functionality of the site they are hosting. The foundational design icons/elements co-developed by Alaska Geographic and the Chugach NF will be maintained and extended throughout the site but there will be significant modifications to standardize the display of site content and improve the user experience relative to navigation, functionality, and interactivity when accessing site content. Interested contractors may identify their interest and capability to this requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and a package is not available. However, all capability statements received within 15 days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. It will be within the government's discretion not to compete this proposed contract modification based upon the responses to this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Please email Denise Murphy, Contract Specialist, at denisemurphy@fs.fed.us with technical questions or written responses pertaining to this notice. No phone calls please.
