C -- ARCHITECT-ENGINEER SERVICES FOR PROFESSIONAL SURVEYING AND MAPPING SERVICES. SOL DACW68-95-R-0017 DUE 040795 POC Charlene Duncan, 509 527-7207 The following portion of the synopsis printed in the February 21, 1995 CBD is revised: SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for the general selection process. The selection criteria, in descending order of importance are: (a) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services: Expertise in the disciplines of hydrographer, land surveyor and photogrammetrist. (b) Specialized experience and technical qualifications: (1) Firms with specialized experience and technical competence in topographic surveying, geodetic control surveying, precision static and kinematic GPS surveying, cadastral surveying, boundary surveying and CADD/GIS expertise. (2) Firms with specialized experience and technical competence in hydrographic surveying of rivers, ports, harbors and inland navigation projects. Experience shall fully exemplify the use and expertise of fully automated, digital methods of data collection, processing production of resulting Bathymetric mapping. (3) Firms composed of hydrographers, registered and licensed professional land surveyors, certified photogrammetrists with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), having expertise in survey and mapping technology procedures, and capability in computer-aided design and drafting (CADD). (4) Firms with specialized experience and technical competence in geophysics, utilizing methods, such as side scan sonar, sub-bottom profiling, ground penetrating radar (GPR), seismic refraction and reflection, grab sampling techniques for data collection of rivers, ports, harbors and inland navigation projects. Experience shall fully exemplify the use and expertise of fully automated processing and production of resulting maps and reports as required to depict surficial and subsurface conditions. Capability to present data in formats that are compatible with CADD and GIS systems. (5) Firms composed of technicians having expertise in hydrographic, topographic, geodetic control, boundary surveying; expertise in kinematic and high accuracy GPS surveying, and experience in field data processing and survey adjustments. (6) Firms composed of technicians having expertise in survey and site collection systems (echo sounders, positioning systems, etc.) with DOS or UNIX-based systems. (7) Firms which have demonstrated capability to submit all work in hard copy report format, hard copy ''F'' size engineer drawings, and/or in Intergraph Design File (DGN), version 5.0 or later file format. (8) Firms which posses or have the capability to readily obtain through purchase or lease, GPS equipment capable of sub-centimeter accuracy, utilize the latest static and kinematic technology, and currently employ CADD/GIS data processing equipment. (9) Firms that presently have, or the capability to readily obtain through purchase or lease, an automated hydrographic survey vessel of 19-30 foot length capable of being trailered to and operating in inland and coastal navigation projects. The vessel must have a capability for being optionally equipped with full motion compensation, side scan sonar imaging for underwater hazardous object strike detection, multi-beam, shallow-water acoustic imagery from a single transducer source. (10) Firms that presently have, or the capability to readily obtain through purchase or lease, an automated hydrographic survey vessel, capable of performing depth measurements with precision horizontal positioning, in shallow draft areas of rivers and back-water areas. Must be capable of being trailered to and operating in inland streams and back-water areas. (c) Proposed project organization, lines of authority, disciplines proposed and team backup personnel. (d) Demonstrated capability and capacity of the firm to perform the above work to meet short suspense dates. (e) Location in the general geographic region of the Walla Walla District with capability of quick turn around to and from the district office in Walla Walla, Washington, and potential work sites. (f) Past performance on contracts with government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules: Unsatisfactory or marginally unsatisfactory past performance evaluations (poor or below average) will be considered in the selection process. (g) Extent of participation of SB, SDB, WOB, historically black college and universities, and minority institutions in the proposed contract team, measured as a percentage of the estimated effort. (h) Volume of DOD contract awards in the previous 12 months, as described in Note 24. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: See note 24 for general submission requirements. To be considered for selection, firms having the capabilities to perform this work must submit three copies of SF 254 not already on file at the Corps of Engineers ACASS center in Portland, Oregon and three copies of SF 255 for the prime and all consultants to Contracting Division, Walla Walla District, Corps of Engineers, 210 North Third Street, Walla Walla, WA 99362-1876, not later than the close of business on April 7, 1995. Personal visits to discuss the project will not be scheduled. This is not a request for proposal. (0080)
