- Description
- Title: Geologic Mapping in Arkansas Units of the National Park Service Overview The National Park Service (NPS) has undertaken a Geologic Resource Evaluation (GRE) of 270 natural area park units. NPS has a need to evaluate four park units in Arkansas: Hot Springs National Park (HOSP), Buffalo National River (BUFF), and Arkansas Post National Memorial (ARPO). Each park is provided with: 1) An evaluation of park geologic resources and issues, 2) An assessment of geologic map coverage and production of digital products, and 3) A compilation of a geologic report with basic geologic information, hazards and issues, and existing data and research relating to the park. Geologic mapping, particularly in areas of complex geology, requires particular expertise and familiarity with the various features and processes inherent in these areas. This project will provide resource management at these four park units with the necessary geologic information to help make scientifically sound resource management decisions. Scope of Work The NPS is seeking contractors who must be capable of producing a digital geologic map, defined as a map that depicts the geographic distribution at the Earth's surface of bedrock and/or surficial geologic materials and structures, on a published base map showing topography, hydrography, culture, cadastral, and other base information. Digital geologic maps may also contain a great variety of point data for specific sites, creating a 3-dimensional database, where applicable. A geologic map generally includes an explanation, description of map units and symbols, cross sections, and a variety of other information. Geologic maps produced under this contract must meet those standards as identified in Part I d of the USGS-NCGMP 2004 STATEMAP program announcement No. 04hQPA0003. This document can be found online at http://www.usgs.gov/contracts/STATEMAP/index.html. For Buffalo National River: Produce geologic maps covering four USGS 7 minute quadrangles on the eastern end of BUFF: Maps must seamlessly edge match with previous geologic mapping. For Hot Springs National Park: Produce geologic maps covering four USGS 7 minute quadrangles using previous produced preliminary Geologic Worksheets, however additional refinement of the stratigraphic units remains to be completed. For Arkansas Post National Memorial Park: Digitize the Arkansas Post and Watson 7 minute quadrangles from the existing, non-digital Gillett and Red Fork "reconnaissance grade" 15 minute geologic worksheets by ARGS and where applicable merge with digital data from the two 1994 publications by R.T. Saucier on the Quaternary Deposits of the Helena-Little Rock 1x2 sheet and the Configuration of Suballuvial Surface of the Helena-Little Rock 1x2 sheet. An accuracy assessment (peer review) must be conducted to validate the final maps. The anticipated Period of Performance for the entire project (all quadrangles mapped) is 36 months from award. Final map products will include: "Digital geologic map, preferably in ESRI ArcGIS 9.x or latest version; personal geodatabase (.mdb) for each digital geologic-GIS map with a Geologic Unit Information table and Source Map Information table, where applicable. At a minimum, all geologic features present on the published map(s) are present as GIS data, and are fully attributed shape files to standards as identified in Part I d of the USGS-NCGMP 2004 STATEMAP program announcement No. 04hQPA0003"Accompanying text and graphics containing map explanatory information, "A description of map units; "A stratigraphic column depicting stratified units;"Where applicable, a correlation diagram showing age relationships of map units;"An explanation of map symbols; and"FGDC compliant metadata for all files developed. Interested parties should provide information addressing the task and their expertise by COB July 3, 2008. Please contact Sybil Winfield, contract specialist at: sybil_winfield@nps.gov or (303)969-2076.
