- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement for Interpretation of geographic names and other appropriate data from primary and secondary Federal, State, and local maps, and textual material including primary historical documents. The data will be compiled and encoded for the area for the State of Kentucky within the area east of 84 degrees 45' W longitude to the State boundary with Virginia and West Virginia. The main thrust of this Phase II work for the State of Kentucky project consists of a systematic search of selected documents in order to identify unrecorded name information and to create new name records to add to those assembled during Phase I. This procedure needs to be completed before a State or territory volume of The National Gazetteer of the United States of America can be published. It is important that each person researching name information for Phase II be able to interpret topographic maps and to relate point, line, and area symbols among maps of different and varyig scales. Be able to make reliable judgements on feature identification when comparing maps and relating tectual description to map sysmbols on sketch maps for accurate identification on the modern large-scale topographic maps. An understanding of how people use and apply geographic names to the landscape is useful. Should understand how proper names are applied to symbols by map editors and the limitations inherent in the process. Knowledge of the georaphy and history of the area being worked will greatly improve a researcher's ability to interpret data. Part 1 involves the collection of name data on a master set of work maps. Parts 2 and 3 require the transfer and converstion of both the annotated and printed map data into machine readable form for inclusion into the National Geographic Names Data Base. The Government will provide data entry software developed by the GNIS staff specifically for the program. The NAICS code is 541990. The expected performance period is 48 months from date of award. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. This solicitation will be issued on or about April 1, 2005 and will close at 3:00PM Eastern Standard Time on May 3, 2005. For a copy of the solicitation (05ERSS0012), please visit www.fedbizops.gov or http://ideasec.nbc.gov. All vendors who wish to submit a proposal must be registered with the Central Contractor Registration website at www.ccr.gov. The planned award date will be on or about June 10, 2005.
