This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; technical proposals (SF-330) are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The applicable NAICS Code is 541370. The Size Standard dollar amount is $14 million, average annual receipts. The A-E shall furnish the necessary personnel, equipment, labor, materials, transportation, office space, and related support facilities to perform the services described herein.

Potential contractors are encouraged to review the Statement of Work for additional information before responding to this announcement. Survey Specifications may be revised during the performance of the contract to include updated/revised specifications. AR-NRCS contemplates the award of multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The IDIQ Contracts will be for one (1) base year; with up to four (4) one-year renewal option periods. Work will be ordered through the issuance of individual task orders on an as-needed basis that will be specific in terms of location, acreage and time deadline. Task orders will be awarded as firm-fixed price procurements as sites requiring surveys are identified. Work under each Task Order will be subject to satisfactory price negotiations. The total number of task orders awarded will fluctuate based on need and availability of funds. The Contractor(s) selected will be required to perform services at locations as may be assigned anywhere in the State of Arkansas. The minimum guaranteed amount per contract is no less than $2,500 in services during the total contract period. The maximum the Government may order per contract in the base year or any of the individual option years shall not exceed $500,000 per contract. SELECTION CRITERIA: Firms will be evaluated and ranked using the following selection criteria: 1. Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services (20 points): The Surveyor must be a licensed registered land surveyor in the State of Arkansas. Evaluation will include the level of formal education, the number of years licensed, and involvement in professional activities/organizations. 2. Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required (10 points): Evaluation will be based on knowledge of local survey practices, records research and the approach used on previous surveys to solve problems resulting from conflicting title or physical evidence. Include with this item a sample surveyor's report accompanied by a plat identifying a boundary conflict and providing an appropriate conclusion or suggested solution. 3. Capacity to accomplish the work in the required performance time and the amount of work currently pending with NRCS (20 points): Evaluation will be based on ability to accomplish multiple work orders to completion within performance time and the ability to add personnel and/or consultants to complete work on time. 4.

References with name and telephone numbers must be provided. 5. Location in the general geographic area and knowledge of the locality of the project area (20 points): Evaluation will be based upon the firm's proximity to the State of Arkansa and the project areas. For firms outside the general project area, provide a plan to provide service in a cost effective manner. Firms must clearly indicate the office location where the work will be performed. 6. Aggressive internal quality control program (10 points): Evaluation will be based on demonstrated results of eliminating or reducing errors and/or omissions.
