- Description
- 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION. This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. Aerial mapping services are required to support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civil works mission in the Pacific Northwest. An Architect-Engineer (A-E) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will be negotiated and awarded, with a base year and four option periods. The base and option periods will not exceed $1,000,000 each per year. An option period may be exercised at the discretion of the Government before expiration of the previous period. The maximum of each task order will not exceed the annual contract amount. The estimated start date is October 2012. Work under this contract will primarily take place within the Portland District boundaries but may be made available to other Districts. This contract is set-aside for small businesses only. At least 50% of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel must be expended for employees of the prime firm as required by FAR 19.508(e) and 52.219-14. North American Industrial Classification System code is 541360, which has a size standard of $14.5 million in average annual receipts. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under this contract must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act, as determined relative to the employee's office location (not the location of the work). To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the DoD Central Contract Registry (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at http://www.ccr.gov or by contacting the CCR Help Line at 1-888-227-2423. 2. TYPICAL SERVICES. This is primarily a photogrammetric services contract. Project sites include concrete and earthfill dams, jetties, levees and floodways. Work under this contract can include, but not be limited to, any or all of the following: true color, multi-spectral, and hyperspectral aerial imagery, photogrammetry (aerotriangulation, stereo compilation, orthophoto production), fixed wing aerial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data collection of large project sites, very high density aerial LiDAR data collection of smaller project sites such as coastal jetties, stationary and mobile (vehicle mounted or marine vessel mounted) platform based terrestrial LiDAR, and land surveying to support aerial missions and hydrologic analysis. 3. MICROSTATION COMPLIANCE. The selected firm must be able to provide maps and drawings on a computer aided design and drafting (CADD) system in current Microstation format fully compatible to that utilized by Portland District and in full adherence to current Corps CADD standards. Portland District utilizes Bentley Microstation for its design process. If maps and drawings are converted from another design package to Microstation, all conversions shall be made prior to delivery of any submittal. Maps and drawings may be submitted in other design package formats if pre-approval has been obtained from the Portland District CADD manager. A copy of the current standards may be requested from the Portland District CADD manager, Walter Perrett, at walter.k.perrett@usace.army.mil or telephone (503) 808-4825. All questions regarding standards compliance may be directed to the CADD manager. 4. GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) COMPLIANCE. The selected firm must be able to produce GIS data that meets U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mandated Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE). A free copy of this software is available at the Corps' CADD/GIS Technology Center's website. These GIS files must be fully compatible with the Portland District Enterprise GIS (EGIS) System which utilizes Environmental System Research Institute (ESRI) Geodatabase format. All geospatial data must also be documented through the preparation of standard metadata (data about data) descriptions. The Contractor shall ensure that the metadata delivered is compliant with the Federal Geographical Data Committee (FGDC) Standard "Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata", FGDC-STP-001-1998. A free copy of this standard is available at http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-projects/metadata/base-metadata/v2_0698.pdf. Geospatial data must also conform to the FGDC ESRI ArcCatalog Metadata Form, filling in at a minimum, all required fields identified in the FGDC ESRI Stylesheet. 5. SELECTION CRITERIA. Selection for this contract will be based upon the following criteria listed in descending order of importance. a. Specialized Experience. Subcriteria (1) - (5) are of equal weight. Respondents shall provide relevant demonstrated specialized experience for the last three years for each sub-criteria. (1) Aerial Photography. The selected team will successfully demonstrate the ability to deploy to project sites throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington on very short notice to take advantage of short weather windows, especially along the coast. The selected firm shall be equipped with 6-inch and 12-inch focal length analog aerial mapping cameras, a digital camera capable of producing 1-foot ground pixel natively geo-referenced digital imagery (with IMU), forward motion compensation, airborne GPS, and aircraft capable of flight at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 25,000 feet. Experience planning and executing coastal photography missions with tide and sea state requirements is necessary. Evaluation metrics, of equal weight, are as follows: Demonstrated relevant experience; Locality to project site; Access to requested camera equipment; Airborne GPS capability; Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) capability; Altitude range. (2) Photogrammetry. Photogrammetry requested under this contract will be almost exclusively related to water resources. Demonstrated ability to plan and deliver accurate high-quality data of jetties, where ground control is difficult, is required. Local knowledge of the region for mission planning is required. Other tasks required under this contract include flight planning and review of Government generated flight plans, ground control planning, lidargrammetric review of LiDAR data for quality assurance, hydro-flattening and breakline addition, and coordination and certification of work by a professional Photogrammetrist, Land Surveyor, and/or Engineer. Deliverables under this contract will include, but not be limited to, Microstation compatible CADD files, ERSI ArcGIS compatible shapefiles and geodatabases, tiled and mosaiced orthophotography (TIFF, JPEG, MrSID). Evaluation metrics, of equal weight, are as follows: Demonstrated relevant experience; Jetty survey experience; Experience with hydraulics and hydrology applications; Local knowledge of region applicable to mission planning; Relevant flight planning experience; Lidargrammetry experience; Microstation and ArcGIS compatibility; Professional qualifications and experience of key personnel.
