- Description
- The Forest Service, Washington Office, Office of International Programs intends to award a sole source procurement under the authority of 41 USD 253(c)(1) for approximately $25,000.00 to Point Reyes Bird Observatory (PRBO) of Petaluma, CA for development of a Portal for Western Hummingbird Project that will be the repository for all known hummingbird observations, best management practices, conservation information, research publications on hummingbirds and training opportunities for hummingbird monitoring. Website structure includes page templates, style sheets, navigation, integrated tools for data entry, data schema extensions to existing data models, developing protocols, backup/maintenance, data feeds to Avian Knowledge Network (AKN) and other data centers, user account management. Site will be built to accommodate English/Spanish language. Back up of site, restoration after hardware/software failure, and dealing with catastrophic failure are required. The portal will be hosted on the PRBO's servers. PRBO Conservation Science/California Avian Data Center (CADC) has developed a system infrastructure specifically designed for collecting, managing, analyzing and visualizing avian observations and related data, including a rich database schema that can manage all research information about such observations. PRBO/CADC has applications that are already developed and that will be adopted for this Portal, including data entry applications that are tailored to avian science, mapping applications for visualizing avian research and statistical tools for doing avian specific analysis on observation data. Infrastructure and relationship for publishing data to the AKN or other partner national and international organizations is in place and operational. As described in FAR 6.302-1, there is only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is not a Request for Proposals, nor does it represent a commitment by the Forest Service to pay for any costs incurred by the preparation and submission of data or any other costs incurred in response to this notification. No solicitaition document is available. Note 22.
