Collection of stream flow, aquatic habitat information, and diversion data is needed to determine effects of diversions on stream flow, and fish habitat. The Forest Service has installed (and will be installing) stream gages near diversion locations on National Forest Systems land. Operation and maintenance of these gages is needed to provide accurate stream flow data. In addition, measurement of diversions and ungaged streams is needed to fully understand effects of diversions on streamflow.

The contractor shall be responsible for collecting field measurements, delivering the data including all associated field notes, photos, videos, and electronic data via a CD/DVD/flash drive or other appropriate electronic media or as hard copies (field forms), and be available to answer questions relating to the field data collected as a part of this project. Approximately ten to twelve trips of one week duration will be required for field data collection. C.l.2 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS The primary responsibility of the contractor is to work with personnel from the Instream Flow Team of the Intermountain Region of the Forest Service.

(JAN 1999) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Experience/Experience in similar projects The Government will evaluate the Contractor's experience and qualifications, and will consider information submitted by the Contractor, obtained from references or obtained by the Government from other sources that is relevant to the following elements: (a) the relevance of Contractor's experience; (b) the quantity of Contractor's experience; and (c) Contractor's qualifications, including, but not limited to knowledge in the use of instrumentation used for the collection of the field data required under this contract. Past Performance/Past Performance in similar projects. The Government will evaluate the Contractor's past performance on same or similar work and will consider information submitted by the Contractor, obtained from references or obtained by the Government from other sources that is relevant to the following elements: (a) Quality of Service - attention to detail and accuracy of work; (b) Timeliness of Performance; (c) Customer Satisfaction/Working Relationships. Contractors need to provide a minimum of three references who can confirm past performance. In evaluating past performance, the Government will consider the currency and relevancy of the information provided or obtained, the context of the data and the general trends of Contractors performance. The following information for each contract or agreement is requested: -Contract/Project name -Location -Year of completion or anticipated completion date if in progress -Contract administrator's name, phone and facsimile numbers -Scope of project -Quality of work performed -Whether the contract/project was completed in a timely manner -Customer Satisfaction Information or Surveys If the contractor does not provide past performance information, or indicates a lack of Past performance with its offer, the Contracting Officer need not pursue further information if it is clear that the contractor's price is not competitive. Please use the attached performance questionnaire to send to your clients and have them complete and return to the Contracting Officer, by response date. Pricing Award will be made to the contractor whose: (1) proposal is technically acceptable and (2) technical/price relationship is the most advantageous and represents the best value to the Government. The Government reserves the right to make price/technical trade-offs that are in the best interest and to the advantage of the Government. The critical factor in making any price/technical trade-off is not the spread between the technical scores, but rather what is the significance of that difference. The significance of the spread in scores will be determined on the basis of what that difference might mean in terms of performance and what it would cost the Government to take advantage of it. Award may not necessarily be made to that contractor submitting the lowest offer. Also, award may not necessarily be made for technical capabilities that would appear to exceed those needed for the successful performance of the work. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. Each proposal received will be carefully considered and all information submitted will be kept in strict confidence within legal constraints. This request for proposals does not commit the Government to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of the submission of proposals. Safety The Contractor shall submit information relevant to their safety record for the last 3 years. Government will evaluate the Contractor's safety record Contractor Base of Location The Contractor shall submit the zip code for the base of location from which personnel working this agreement are based. Note: Contractors may enhance their technical proposal by identifying strengths, personnel skills and knowledge, unique capabilities and value adding processes to a contract's services, and other attributes that the Government considers as discriminating factors. The Government may research contractor performance on any federal, state, local, and commercial contract performance of the offeror that is known to the Government, but not included on the submitted Performance Information. Additionally, personal experience and evaluator knowledge of offeror performance may be utilized. The Government will consider the relevance of past performance information obtained in relation to the scope of this procurement with respect to both a similar efforts, and the length and scope, number, complexity, and diversity of contracts completed by the contractor. Past performance, either positive or negative, which is considered by the Government to be more closely related to the scope of this effort, will be given additional weight in the evaluation process. In conformance with Federal Acquisition Regulations, Contractors that have no record of past performance will receive a neutral rating. Technical and past performance, when combined, are approximately equal in importance to price. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
