Description

The Massachusetts Natural Resources Conservation Service, under the Wetlands Reserve Program, has a requirement for survey services for use in the acquisition of conservation easements. Easement surveys shall be referenced to North American Datum 83, 1996 (NAD 83/96) in latitude/longitude and decimal degrees. The surveys will be documented in a report that contains the research, field surveys, field notes, computations, boundary description, survey map, and surveyor's certificate addressing title subjections report. Corners and angle points on easement boundary must be plainly marked and permanently monumented with steel rods. Markers shall be placed at all angle points and at a minimum of every 500 feet on all boundary lines. NRCS will provide the signs and the surveyor must provide the steel fence posts. Surveyor must be professional, licensed surveyor, registered in the State of Massachusetts. The type of contract to be awarded will be an (IDIQ) Indefinite Delivery and Indefinite Quantity contract, consisting of one or more work orders. Work will be ordered on an as needed basis beginning approximately January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004 for the base year with the option on the part of the Government to renew for three (3) option periods at one year each. The minimum the Government must order per contract is no less than $2,500 in services during the contract period. The maximum the Government may order per contract in the base year or any of the individual option years shall not exceed $100,000 per contract.

(2) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required (25 points) - evaluation will be based on knowledge of local survey practices, records research and the approach used on previous surveys to solve problems resulting from conflicting title or physical evidence. Include with this item a sample surveyor's report accompanied by a plat identifying a boundary conflict and providing an appropriate conclusion or suggested solution. (3) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required performance time (20 points) - evaluation will be based on ability to accomplish multiple work orders to completion within performance time and the ability to add personnel and/or consultants to complete work on time. (4) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules (20 points) - list and document references, including contact information, for past projects similar in scope. (5) Location in the general geographic area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project area (10 points) - for firms outside of the general project area, provide plan to provide service in a cost effective manner. Interested and qualified firms should submit no later than 4:00 p.m. on December 15, 2003: (1) a Standard Form 254, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire; (2) a Standard Form 255, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Projects.
