These threats may be natural or man-made in nature, or they may be opportunistic such as a terrorist attack coordinated with a natural disaster in an effort to take advantage of weakened security. 3.1 Contract Type. Times and Materials. 3.3 Period of Performance. The period of performance is 24 months from award and includes 3 optional annual periods. 5.0 OBJECTIVE. Contractor shall provide consulting support services for training and for enhancing the following tools: Flood Map Toolkit, Facility Management /Treat Assessment Tool, Emergency Response Cordon Management Tool and updating the Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure to include but not limited to installing a server and preparing software and application plan. 6.0 SCOPE. The project scope will provide several enhancements to the software and systems in place at the 1FW GeoBase Integration Office as well as all consulting services, support and user training necessary to empower the 1FW GIO to respond quickly to requests for mapping services and other information made by base personnel who may be responding to a variety of threats to the security of 1FW LAFB; the effectiveness of the 1FW mission and the safety of LAFB personnel. These enhancements will provide 1FW GIO with the ability and confidence to respond immediately to requests for mapping services and other information made by base personnel who may be responding to a variety of threats to the security of 1FW LAFB; the effectiveness of the 1FW mission and the safety of LAFB personnel. Specific support tasks and deliverables are outlined in Section 7.0 below. 7.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS. Government-furnished equipment and materials are listed in Section 3.9 above. The Contractor shall be responsible to the GPOC as determined by the COR. A Non-Disclosure Agreement is required for personnel as well as adherence to a Code of Ethics (Attachments 2 and 3). Failure to adhere to the non-disclosure agreement and code of ethics will result in immediate termination. The Contractor must provide a replacement within 15 working days of notification of the termination action. It is anticipated that funding will be available for estimated 3095 labor hours. Should additional funding become available, up to 4620 labor hours would be required for optional tasks. Contractor shall propose the appropriate labor category based on the work descriptions to be completed. These taskings and descriptions are as follows: 7.1 Task 1 Enhance Capabilities for Flood Map Toolkit. Langley Air Force Base (LAFB) is situated on the shores of the Back River very near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. The area upon which LAFB is constructed is a very flat, low lying area directly on the shores of the river. In fact, most of the buildings on the base are within ? mile horizontally, and 8 ft. vertically of the salt water. This combination of proximity to the sea and low topography coupled with the naturally volatile hydrodynamics of the Chesapeake Bay, make the base very vulnerable to flooding during storm events. Over the course of the past five years, there have been multiple storm events during which buildings at LAFB were flooded. The results of this flooding can be extraordinarily expensive, but can be mitigated to some degree with sufficient warning and planning. Task requirements, though efforts are not limited to these, are listed below: Work with Base GIS Manager to establish Mean High Water elevation Tool capabilities: Import output from storm surge models. (Source of this model output may be the Navy or the Army Corps.) Forecast flood extent Identify threshold elevation data in relation to predicted flood levels. Identify properties that are at highest risk Generate emergency response flood map products, impacted building lists, and building manager contact lists. Create flooded area polygon layer for each contour level from 0 to 12 feet. Generate one foot contours based on LIDAR imagery of LAFB Functionality will be deployed to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher using technologies supported by the LAFB Spatial Data Infrastructure. Deploy spatially enabled impacted building report using existing ArcIMS infrastructure 7.2 Task 2: Enhance Capabilities for Facility Management. Task requirements, though efforts are not limited to these, are listed below: Work with GIS Manager to validate Building footprints and floor plans Work with GIS Manager to evaluate current CAD model for existing floor plans Create an automated system to harvest CAD drawings of facility infrastructure on a nightly basis and convert to GIS format for query and visualization Deploy web enabled GIS capability that supports the following capabilities: o Visualizes floor plan space by building, organization and functional area. o Indicates locations of water supply for fire response personnel o Indicates locations of hazardous materials and provides links to MSDS resources o Provides link to building manager and emergency response coordinator for each building o Indicates flood elevation for each door threshold in the building o Summarizes square foot utilization by each category in tabular report format Map series capability will be deployed to create floor plan map books with appropriate information for each floor layout. 7.3 Task 3: Enhance capabilities for the Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI). Langley Air Force Base (LAFB) has developed a significant Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) over the past several years to implement its GeoBase program. Various components of the GeoBase program have become critically important to support ongoing Base operations. Present and planned changes in hardware and software components at LAFB require that the DISDI be updated to ensure ongoing operational reliability and performance. This proposal is for consulting services to assist in upgrading several components of the LAFB DISDI in the coming months. Task requirements, though efforts are not limited to these, are listed below: Implement Oracle managed backups to take advantage of the new Veritas tape backup system recently installed at the 1FW GIO for development servers. Install relevant Oracle patches and upgrades to the 1FW ArcSDE server for development servers. Tune the ArcSDE instance to provide better performance especially when serving up the base orthophoto for development servers. Prepare a software and application migration plan to smoothly migrate 1FW GeoBase operations to the ESRI ArcGIS 9.0 software environment. Assist in the implementation of the ArcGIS migration plan. Implement a testing and evaluation program for ArcGIS Server on the 1FW LAFB development server. This task should be done in conjunction with the geo-processing requirements of the facility-related capabilities enhancements. Assist with the development of a software implementation standards document for the 1FW GeoBase program so that other programs at LAFB (Environment, Housing, etc.) can understand how best to interface with the 1FW GeoBase DISDI. Implement a Citrix infrastructure for deploying ArcGIS to data stewards on LAFB. Configure a versioned editing environment to manage concurrent editing of LAFB DISDI layers Configure ArcIMS to enable LDAP supported layer-level authentication for all LAFB ArcIMS map services 7.5 Project Work Plan. Within ten work days of award, the Contractor shall coordinate with the 1FW GIO to provide a Kickoff meeting. The Contractor will prepare and brief a Project Work Plan (PWP) that provides a framework, technical specifications, approach, and schedule for all work to be accomplished during this project as outlined in this SOW. The PWP will contain, at a minimum, the schedule for each of the primary requirements and their associated deliverables. This PWP will be used to track the various labor, equipment, facilities, and time required to accomplish tasks for this SOW and the associated quality control requirements. The PWP must be approved by the COR prior to beginning primary tasks work. Once approved, the Contractor will not deviate from the PWP without the express approval of the COR. 7.6 Develop Status Updates and Reports. The Contractor shall prepare and submit a Contractor?s progress, status, and management report (CPSMR) within ten work days after the end of the month. The CPSMR shall be used to review and evaluate the overall progress of the project, along with any existing or potential problem areas. The CPSMR shall include a summary of the events that occurred during the reporting period, discussion of performance, identification of problems, proposed solutions, corrective actions taken, and outstanding issues. The CPSMR shall also detail the project schedule and status through the use of Gantt charts, Microsoft Project or as agreed in the project work plan (Section 7.5), which shall depict percent spent and percent complete for each task. The CPSMR shall correspond to the same time period as the corresponding invoice. 7.7 Government Review. The Government shall review the submitted data and documentation upon completion of all stated work. Missing or incomplete items shall be documented and forwarded to the Contractor for completion. Upon receipt of a complete submittal, the Government shall conduct a quality review and notify the contractor within 60 calendar days of acceptance (along with any stipulations this includes) or rejection of the deliverables described herein. Failure to adhere to any of the stated delivery specifications could result in rejection of deliverables and nonpayment. Contractors should, at a minimum, submit data and documentation samples at 25% and 75% project completion to avoid the rejection of final deliverables. 7.8 Travel. It is anticipated that each task will require a minimum of two trips. The trips shall be conducted as determined by the designated Government Point of Contact (GPOC) with at least three working days notification to the Contractor. All costs for travel must follow the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) and are the responsibility of the Contractor. For proposal purposes, the contractor may assume each trip will be 3 days total with an average cost of $1200 per trip. 7.9 Optional Tasks 7.10 Task 4: Threat Assessment Tool is a subordinate to the Facilities Management Tool and has that as a prerequisite. This tool will extend the ability of the LAFB command, emergency response and security force personnel to: Respond to emergency situations utilizing integrated, detailed understanding of building layouts, hazards and occupancy variables. These situations could include such things as fires, hostage taking, acts of terrorism, bomb threats, floods, chemical spills and many others Create threat assessment reporting and security planning algorithms Respond to emergency situations utilizing integrated, detailed understanding of building layouts, hazards and occupancy variables. These situations could include such things as fires, hostage taking, acts of terrorism, bomb threats, floods, chemical spills and many others. Speed up the time needed to assess the threat and develop an operational picture and strategy for response. Leverage other investments by the government in GIS and interoperate with other enhancements such as the Cordon Tool, Facilities Management, Line of Sight tools and others. Quickly identify vulnerabilities ancillary to the main threat target. Interoperate with the base map viewer and other GIS-related utilities. 7.11 Task 5: Enhance Capabilities for Emergency Response Cordon Management Tool (DISDI). Langley Air Force Base (LAFB) presents some interesting challenges to its emergency response personnel. The base provides homes and employment to over 12,000 people on a daily basis with the expected personnel support services required to manage a large population. It also houses one of the most deadly arsenals on the planet. An accident or building fire on an Air Force Base must be managed with a level of respect for safety and security that is commensurate with the potential risk that such an event could represent. Modern GIS tools represent a great advancement in the way emergency management organizations can plan for and manage emergency events. LAFB has invested a great deal of time and money in creating one of the most capable GIS systems currently in production in the Air Force. The Air Force, for its part, has recently completed the migration of an emergency management ?Cordon Tool? to ArcGIS 8.3. This proposal includes the hardware, software, and implementation resources required to implement the new Air Force Cordon Tool at Langley Air Force Base and to make the maps and reports that are produced with the cordon tool available to authorized base personnel through a browser on the Langley intranet. Because of the distributed nature of the commanders that may require use of the Cordon Tool, and the need to run the tool from a variety of computers that may not have a full seat of ArcGIS installed, we will implement a Citrix server to run the Cordon Tool. This architecture will allow authenticated users from around the base to interact with the Cordon Tool through a thin client on their local machine. Reports and maps produced with the Cordon Tool will be published through the Langley ArcIMS server and will be available to authenticated users through their browsers. Task requirements, though efforts are not limited to these, are listed below: Create the delivery architecture, configure the systems, and train required personnel in the use of the Cordon Tool are as follows: Acquire and set up Citrix Server. The server will be a minimum dual 2 Ghz processor server with 4Gig RAM. The server will be configured at minimum with Windows 2000 Server and Citrix Metaframe XP with 25 client access licenses. Configure ArcGIS and the Cordon Tool to run in the Citrix environment. Configure the Cordon Tool to use Langley Air Force Base data. Create the base maps and other configurations to use the 1FW GIO ArcSDE data layers. Develop web application to serve up Cordon maps and reports. Create a web application to run on the Langley AFB ArcIMS server that will serve up maps and reports created with the Cordon tool. Create web-based training materials for the proper operation of the Cordon Tool. These materials will be developed in conjunction with Langley AFB emergency management personnel. The materials will be delivered as a web-based application available through a trainee?s web browser. A corresponding printed training manual will be prepared as a companion to the web-based training. Installation and tuning. Install the server and software environment into the 1FW GIO server environment. User groups will be established in conjunction with the 1FW GIO to implement appropriate security policy. 1FW GIO personnel will be trained in the ongoing maintenance of the new server and software systems. On-site training. Two, one day training sessions will be held at LAFB to train potential users in the proper use of the new Cordon Tool. LAFB trainers will be part of these classes so that they can take over training for the system at the end of the contract. 7.11 Task 6: Emergency Response Cordon Management Tool Local implementation and configuration of existing USAF ?Cordon Tool? software Implementation of Citrix Metaframe environment to support Cordon Tool Develop enhancements to the reporting and mapping capabilities of existing tools Support and training 7.12 Task 7: Line of Sight Tool: subordinate to the Facilities Management Tool and has that as a prerequisite. This tool will extend the ability of the LAFB command, emergency response and security force personnel to: The primary purpose of this tool will be to provide information about the true line of sight between any two points on the base. This enhanced capability would provide, among other things, LAFB command, emergency response and security force personnel the ability to: Instantly identify areas in which ground-based personnel can operate freely out of the line of fire in the event of sniper incident or other similar attack. Determine precisely which buildings and/or which rooms within buildings are at risk from a targeted attack and from where.  Which buildings/rooms within buildings could be targeted from the river?  Which buildings/rooms could not be targeted directly by any line-of-sight threat by water-, ground- or low-flying aircraft based attack and are therefore most secure? Locate appropriate security zones to prevent line-of-sight attacks Optimize the positioning of observation personnel or security force sharp-shooters to provide coverage of a given area. Leverage other investments by the government in GIS and interoperate with other enhancements such as the Cordon Tool, Facilities Management, Line of Sight tools and others Interoperate with the base map viewer and other GIS-related utilities. There are also a number of secondary uses, such as: Determining the placement of monuments and statuary on base grounds. Determining ideal placement of warning, advisory and traffic signage. Identifying the view shed of residences and offices on base.
