- REQUEST FOR SYNOPSIS INDEFINITE DELIVERY TYPE ARCHITECT-ENGINEER CONTRACT FOR AERIAL MAPPING AND LiDAR SERVICES 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION. Aerial mapping services are required to support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civil works mission in the Pacific Northwest. An architect-engineer (A-E) indefinite delivery contract will be awarded under this solicitation. The contract shall be for a base period of one year at $500,000. The contract shall contain the option of four additional periods of one year, at $500,000 each. An option period may be exercised at the discretion of the Government before expiration of the previous period. The maximum of each task order will not exceed the annual contract amount. The estimated start date is April 2009. The contract will be available for use by other USACE elements. Work under this contract will primarily take place throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington, with possible work in other locations as may be assigned to Portland District. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for this contract, it must comply with FAR 52.21909. Subcontracting goals for this contract are a minimum of 50.0% of the proposed subcontracting amount be placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged business (SDB) 6.2%, small women-owned businesses 7.0%, HUBZone small businesses 9.8%, Veteran Owned small businesses 3.0%, and Service Disabled Veteran owned small business 0.9%. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under this contract must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act, as determined relative to the employees office location (not the location of the work). To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the DoD Central Contract Registry (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at http://www.ccr.gov or by contacting the CCR Help Line at 1-888-227-2423. 2. TYPICAL SERVICES. This is primarily a Photogrammetry services contract. Project sites include concrete and earthfill dams, jetties, levees and floodways. Work under this contract can include, but not be limited to, any or all of the following: Fixed wing light detection and ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing data collection of large project sites, very high density rotary-wing LiDAR data collection of smaller project sites like coastal jetties, aerial photography, Photogrammetry (aerotriangulation, stereo compilation, orthophotography) and land surveying to support aerial missions and hydrologic analysis. 3. MICROSTATION COMPLIANCE. The selected firm must be able to provide maps and drawings on a computer aided design and drafting (CADD) system in current Microstation format fully compatible to that utilized by Portland District and in full adherence to current Corps CADD standards. Portland District utilizes Bentley Microstation for its design process. If maps and drawings are converted from another design package to Microstation, all conversions shall be made prior to delivery of any submittal. Maps and drawings may be submitted in other design package formats if pre-approval has been obtained from the Portland District CADD manager. A copy of the current standards may be requested from the Portland District CADD manager, Jim Sherman, at James.M.Sherman@usace.army.mil or telephone (503) 808-4826. All questions regarding standards compliance may be directed to the CADD manager. 4. GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) COMPLIANCE. The selected firm must be able to produce GIS data that meets U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mandated Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE). A free copy of this software is available at the Corps CADD/GIS Technology Centers website. These GIS files must be fully compatible with the Portland District Enterprise GIS (EGIS) System which utilizes Environmental System Research Institute (ESRI) Geodatabase format. All geospatial data must also be documented through the preparation of standard metadata (data about data) descriptions. The Contractor shall ensure that the metadata delivered is compliant with the Federal Geographical Data Committee (FGDC) Standard Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata, FGDC-STP-001-1998. A free copy of this standard is available at http://www.fgdc.gov/stanards/documents/standards/metadata/v2_0698.pdf. Geospatial data must also conform to the FGDC ESRI ArcCatalog Metadata Form, filling in at a minimum, all required fields identified in the FGDC ESRI Stylesheet. 5. SELECTION CRITERIA. Selection for this contract will be based upon the following criteria listed in descending order of importance. Criteria a through d are primary. Criteria e through f are secondary, and will only be used as tie breakers among technically equal firms. a. Specialized Experience. Subcriteria (1) (4) are of equal weight. Respondents shall provide relevant demonstrated specialized experience for the last 3 years each subcriteria. (1) Aerial Photography. Demonstrated ability to deploy to project sites throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington on very short notice to take advantage of short weather windows, especially along the coast(s). The selected firm shall be equipped with 6-inch and 12-inch focal length analog aerial mapping cameras, forward motion compensation, airborne GPS, and aircraft capable of flight at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 25,000 feet. Experience planning and executing coastal photography missions with tide and sea state requirements is necessary. Evaluation metrics, of equal weight, are as follows: * Demonstrated Relevant Experience. * Ability to Provide Required Equipment. * Ability to collect 4-8 pulses per square meter. * Ability to record 4 or more returns per pulse. * Concurrent imagery ability. * Microstation and ArcGIS compatibility. * High-density capability. (2) Photogrammetry. Photogrammetry requested under this contract will be almost exclusively related to water resources. Demonstrated ability to plan and delivery accurate high-quality data of jetties, where ground control is difficult, is required. Local knowledge of the region for mission planning is required. Other tasks required under this contract include flight planning and review of Government generated flight plans, ground control planning, and coordination and certification of work by a professional Photogrammetrist, Land Surveyor, and/or Engineer. Deliverables under this contract will include, but not be limited to, Microstation compatible CADD files, ERSI ArcGIS compatible shapefiles and geodatabases, tiled and mosaiced orthophotography (TIFF, JPEG, MrSID). Evaluation metrics, of equal weight, are as follows: * Demonstrated Relevant Experience * Jetty experience. * Local knowledge of region applicable to mission planning. * Flight planning experience. * Microstation and ArcGIS compatibility. (3) LiDAR. Demonstrated capability and experience in the collection of airborne LiDAR data for topography. General requirements for LiDAR work under this contract will include a minimum of 4 to 8 pulses per square meter with the ability to record/classify 4 or more returns per pulse. Experience with the terrain and land cover conditions in the Pacific Northwest is required. Concurrent collection of hyper-spectral or photographic imagery may be requested. Deliverables will include but not be limited to LAS files, ERSI grids, ASCII data, and contours (Microstation compatible CADD files and/or ESRI shapefiles). In addition to traditional topographic LiDAR, experience necessary to apply LiDAR technology to develop very high density datasets of the irregular surface of a jetty will be sought. Evaluation metrics, of equal weight, are as follows: * Demonstrated Relevant Experience * Ability to collect 4-8 pulses per square mile. * Ability to record 4 or more returns per pulse. * Knowledge of Pacific Northwest terrain and land cover conditions. * Concurrent imagery ability. * Microstation and ArcGIS compatibility. * High-density capability. (4) Land Surveying. Land survey tasks under this contract will primarily be associated with control and ground-truth of aerial survey data. GPS surveying as well as transit and total station methods may be required to complete these tasks. Additional data to supplement remotely sensed data may also be requested under this contract.
