The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 541370 "Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services" with a Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard of $14 million dollars. The requirement is being conducted as a small business set-aside. This project shall produce the following four major outcomes: (1) A best practices resource guide for transportation planners on how to work successfully with other transportation stakeholders, including passenger and freight railroads to achieve the goals of this contract. This resource guide will also provide best practices for quantifying the public benefits and costs of freight and passenger railroad projects intended to alleviate network congestion-related delay. (2) Additional guidance and analytical methods will be provided on how to align national rail databases and how to prepare traffic data for assignment to a well-defined rail network using GIS network tools. Guidance will be provided on how to analyze, query, and present GIS network modeling results to work successfully with other transportation stakeholders including all members of the railroad industry. (3) Improvements will be made to any existing GIS network modeling tool to improve the analysis of all rail choke points and congestion that can be identified using national rail databases and the improved GIS network modeling tool described below. Intended users will be able to identify where and when the rail network will be the most heavily loaded. To support this analysis, the GIS network tool must be capable of performing dynamic traffic assignment. (4) Technical support including a GIS network model user's guide with examples.
