- Description
- Notice of Intent This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), intends to award a purchase order to State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) for flood hazard cartographic development. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. DGGS is uniquely qualified to perform this work. DGGS has collected information and data to support cartographic development of flood maps with the USGS since 2022, and data comparability and consistency are critical for continuation of this study. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.101(a)(2) and FAR 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation by the closing date of this announcement which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. The NAICS code for this action is 541690, Other Technical and Scientific Consulting Services and the associated size standard is $16.5 million. Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to yangzhideng@usgs.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than June 30, 2023 at 1700 PST. Responses submitted by hardcopy or any web portal shall not be accepted or considered. PERFORMANCE-BASED WORK STATEMENT I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Introduction The U.S. Geological Survey, Coastal Marine Hazards Resources Program (hereafter referred to as the USGS-CMHRP), requests, from the State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geopyhysical Surveys (DGGS) (see accompanying sole-source justification), development of cartographic representations of historical flooding hazards and assistance with co-development of past and future flood hazard maps relevant to stakeholders within two Alaska Native Villages (ANVs): (Utqiagvik and Unalakleet). B. Background Coastal flooding and erosion are increasingly threatening infrastructure and public safety in Alaska Native communities. While many scientists and projects are attentive to the problem, there are still very limited coastal flood hazard vulnerability assessment tools that use cutting-edge modeling approaches which can also be customized to specific community information needs in a manner that easily supports local adaptation planning. The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) is a dynamic modeling approach developed by USGS-CMHRP to achieve detailed scenario projections of coastal flooding due to the combination of coastal storm events (waves and storm surge) and sea-level rise scenarios. In collaboration with DGGS and others (e.g., USGS Water Mission Area), USGS-CMHRP are translating the CoSMoS platform to model hazards in Alaska, overlay these results with risk-based information (e.g., buildings and other infrastructure), and co-produce locally customized flood hazard maps and online tools to support development of culturally appropriate and cost-efficient adaptation strategies. In this context, �co-production� refers to a collaborative process among scientists and community representatives. The role of DGGS in this work is to provide flood of past events that will be used to validate CMHRP�s models, and second to provide guidance with stakeholders and co-development of the final products. C. Scope. The USGS-CMHRP requires 1) cartographic maps or listed storms of past flood events that will be used to assess model validity and 2) guidance on co-development of past and future flood hazard maps relevant to stakeholders within two Alaska Native Villages. II. WORK REQUIREMENTS A. Technical Requirements. � The work requires technical skill for development of flood hazard maps from literature and surveying of indicative field data (such as wrack lines). B. Deliverables. � Compliance will be met by the delivery of flood histories for the two communities Utqiagvik and Unalakleet. III. SUPPORTING INFORMATION A. Place of Performance: DGGS offices. B. Period of Performance: August 1, 2023 � September 30, 2024 C. Government Furnished Property (GFP): USGS Federal Government Furnished Property will not be used. D. Special Considerations. 1. Key personnel qualifications: Technical assistance will be provided by an individual who has extensive cartographic skills and Native community engagement. 2. Data Rights, Safety, Environment: Generated data will be in the public domain through the State of Alaska DGGS. 3. Security/Privacy issues: There are no privacy issues or required access to Federal facilities or equipment.
