- Description
- The North East Acquisition Team intends to award two separate indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contracts for professional surveying services for landline surveying on or near the Allegheny National Forest. Only firms with Registered Professional Surveyors licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will be considered. Each contract will be issued as a one-year contract with four one-year options (potential of five years). Task orders will be issued as needed to accomplish the work. Estimated Contract Time will vary with each individual task order The work will include: surveying to establish, retrace, mark, post and/or rehabilitate National Forest property and/or easement boundaries, including monumentation and/or perpetuation of property and controlling corners; and may also include rural boundary and right-of-way surveys for description, topographic surveys, geodetic control, mapping and other incidental work normally associated with the survey profession. The work may also include site surveys. Over the total life of the contract, the Government will guarantee to purchase a dollar amount of $5,000 minimum $30,000 maximum for each contract awarded. There is no minimum or maximum yearly guarantees outside those stated above. Firms qualified and interested in providing professional surveying services of the types listed above are hereby invited to submit: SF-254 (Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire) and SF-255 (Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Project). In evaluating proposals, the following criteria will be applied, with 1, 2, & 3 being of relatively equal importance, but only half the importance of criteria 4 and 5. (1) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services. Your firm?s Registered Professional Land Surveyors? experience in rural boundary surveys and property line marking. Indicate anticipated level of involvement of each RPLS on this project. (2) Capacity of the firm to provide the required services in the required time. List your firm?s equipment, personnel available, and procedures used to ensure reasonable deadlines are met. Include any proposed subcontractor and specify what duties they would perform. (3) Past performance on contracts with government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work and compliance with performance schedules. Referenced projects that are similar in scope to rural boundary surveys and property line marking. (4) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required. Show years of experience and number of miles in rural boundary surveys and property line marking of the key personnel that will be assigned to the project. Include an outline of field and office procedures. (5) Proximity of the firm to local project area, and knowledge of the locality of the project. Indicate where your nearest office is in relation to the project area. If not within 50 mile radius of the Forest, indicate how you plan to provide service in a cost-effective manner. Indicate your firm?s knowledge of local survey practices, records research and the approach you have used on previous surveys to resolve problems resulting from conflicting title or physical evidence. Submit a sample surveyor?s report accompanied by a plat (suitable for filing in the public record), which identifies a boundary conflict and provides an appropriate solution or conclusion. BE SURE TO RESPOND TO ALL FIVE (5) CRITERIA. Additional Sheets should be used if needed to address all evaluation criteria relative to the required services. Following the initial evaluation of the qualification and performance data submitted, discussions will occur with three or more firms considered to be the most highly qualified to provide the services. Negotiations will occur beginning with the most preferred firm in the final selection. If a mutually agreeable contract can be reached, then award will be made. If not, then negotiations with that firm will be terminated and the next most preferred firm would be contacted for negotiation.
