Scope of Work The Scope of Work will include: The NPS seeks the preparation of a NHL nomination of the Illinois and Michigan Canal and directly associated structures for acceptance as the official NHL documentation. An existing draft, dated December 14, 1999, and written by Dr. Michael P. Conzen, was reviewed by the Midwest Regional Office and by the National Historic Landmarks program in Washington, D.C. The existing review comments shall be considered to bring the draft to conclusion. The nomination shall be submitted according to the format outlined in the National Register Bulletin, How to Prepare National Historic Landmark Nominations (available at http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/publications/bulletins/nhl/nhlstart.htm), and prepared on a "National Historic Landmark Nomination" Form 10-900, to be provided by the NPS Midwest Regional Office. The documentation for the Illinois and Michigan Canal NHL shall consist of the following components: 1. Historic Context and Statement of Significance 2. Period of National Significance 3. Resource Inventory 4. Boundary Description and Justification 5. Photographs 6. Map The proposal shall address all components identified in the statement of work. The proposal will include three components; a detailed research strategy, evidence of personnel qualifications, and cost. The government will review the progress of the report development through required drafts and provide comments as necessary. The NHL nomination shall be completed within fourteen (14) months of the date of the award. The work will be accomplished in accordance with the contract and will consist of the components discussed in the statement of work and related addenda. 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, past performance and price.
