- This requirement is for a single source procurement for photography sales to Showtime Pictures, 1000 E. William St., Suite 204, Carson City NV 89701-3117, which has been performing these services under a subcontract. Services shall be performed for an interim period of time (approximately 3 to 6 months) until a contract can be awarded under Solicitation No. 09-SP-30-8133. This special announcement is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has a requirement for photography operations at Hoover Dam. Photography and Merchandise Sales are authorized under the Miscellaneous Sales Act, Public Law 106-461. Reclamation manages all of the engineering, maintenance, and public activities that directly involve Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam is perhaps the most historically important dam structure within the United States. It sits across the Colorado River (Nevada/Arizona boundary) and forms Lake Mead. The dam which was built during the depression and completed in 1935 provides power generation, downstream flood protection, and water for agricultural and human consumption. Over 1,000,000 people per year make a specific effort to visit Hoover Dam either on their way through or as a specific side trip. Reclamation operates a large visitor center and also provides a multi-story parking structure, both on the Nevada side of the dam. Reclamation provides exhibits related to the construction of the dam and conducts tours inside the plant and/or dam. There are retail outlets, run by the State of Nevada under the authority of the Randolph Shepard Act, providing souvenirs, food, and beverages to the public. Visitor services are conducted everyday, except 2 days, throughout the year, with spring and summer receiving the highest visitation. Tours conducted in the interior portions of the dam will continue to be conducted by Federal Reclamation staff. All interested firms should submit a capability statement by e-mail or facsimile by March 3, 2009. Capability statements received will be reviewed to determine the technical, administrative, and management capabilities of such offerors to perform this type of work. The capabilities package submitted should demonstrate the firm's experience and capability to perform the principal components of work. Packages should include the following information: (1) Provide business name, address, business size, and type (8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran, Small Business, Large Business, etc.), and point of contact to include e-mail address and telephone number. (2) Demonstrate the firm's experience by providing a list of projects completed where the work involved the portrait photography sales (or similar assignments) that included taking photos of groups of people and accounting for the funds received. Experience should also include dollar values related to the projects or contracts and data collection methods to record revenue. Additionally, for each project listed, provide the following: dollar value of the job, the project name, project location, and the customer's contact name and phone number for the work completed. (3) Identify projects which were governed by United States Treasury Regulations for financial transactions and financial reporting. All responses to this sources sought notice shall be provided to Rita Horkan, LC-3133, Contract Specialist, P.O.
