Entailing both documentary research and field observations to determine and describe the integrity, authenticity, associative values, and significance of the resources, the HRS supplies data for resource management and interpretation. It includes the application of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria for evaluation (36 CFR 60) and nomination of any and all newly-discovered eligible cultural resources. The HRS will provide a historical overview of the park that identifies and evaluates the park's cultural resources within historic contexts. The study shall use current scholarship and other available cultural resources information to develop a synthesis for placing the history of Pipestone National Monument within a broader local, regional, and national context. All available cultural resources data will be synthesized in a narrative report. The study will involve documentary and field investigations to help determine the sites significance and describe the integrity, authenticity, associative values of the park's historic resources, including but not limited to structures, sites, objects, districts, cultural landscapes, complexes, and historic functions. The HRS will include a cultural resources base map (or maps). A base map depicts all known historic sites and structures, cultural landscapes, long-distance trails and roads, archeological sites, and ethnographic resources. The government will review the progress of the report development through required drafts and provide comments as necessary. It is anticipated that the final draft shall be completed, including all reviews, within 30 months of contract award. THIS WILL NOT BE A SEALED BID OR LOW BID PROCUREMENT. A best value trade-off selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR part 13. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, portions of FAR parts 12 and 15 may be utilized. This best value approach will use factors such as technical, price, and past performance. It is anticipated the aforementioned factors will be listed in descending order of importance and that all non-price related factors, when combined, will be significantly more important than cost/price.
