D -- TRI-SERVICE GIS SPATIAL DATA STANDARDS SOL DACA39-95-R-0057 POC POC: Sally Kleinman, 601-634-3902 The Tri-Service CADD/GIS Technology Center (CEWES-IM-DA), U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi, intends to contract research, computer applications development, engineering development, training, standards development and implementation, and technology transfer work that is planned as part of ongoing and proposed Research and Development (R&D) Programs and reimbursable activities. This requirements contract will be awarded for one year plus four option years. Mission areas of the Tri-Services (i.e., Army, Navy, and Air Force, the establishment and promotion of GIS education and training venues, the organization of providers and users of GIS technology to effectively transfer the technology, develop GIS Spatial Data standards, and lead GIS technology applications development. The term GIS, as used in the context of this Statement of Work, includes both conventional GIS applications (i.e., using GIS software with a database) and Automated Mapping/Facilities Management (AM/FM) applications (i.e., using Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) software with a database: 1. Evaluate, develop, and recommend standards (e.g., data dictionary, border sheets, title blocks, drawing scales), map/drawing level/layer assignments, color assignments, line styles and weights, symbols, etc.). 2. Evaluate, develop, recommend, and revise standard symbol libraries. 3. Develop load/seed, conversion, translation, implementation, data checking, and/or applications software, user's guides, and user's manuals. 4. Develop MDL, AutoLISP, database. ''C'', and/or other software programs and routines. 5. Develop customized menus and Graphical User Interface's (GUIs) for GIS/CADD and computer programs. 6. Prepare and revise IDEF (1x) and other database models. 7. Develop meta data standards implementation. 8. Accomplish pilot and implementation projects. 9. Evaluate, develop, and recommend Space Management and Facility Management standards. 10. Develop and recommend Facility Work Order Interface to WIMS, IFSM, and WPMA, and other existing systems. 11. Develop and recommend standards for including video, specifications and shop drawings in the standards. 12. Develop and recommend a comprehensive Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) Module to track and manage HTRW remediation, disposal, permitting, assessment, and storage activities. 13. Prepare technical reports, papers, documents, and electronic digital media for the items discussed above and below, as well as other GIS related assignments. 14. Visit selected Tri-Service installations planning GIS system acquisitions for the purpose of inspecting existing computer capabilities, interviewing personnel, and determining the installation requirements and capabilities. 15. Assist selected Tri-Service installations install purchased GIS equipment and software. 16. Develop specific GIS support software utilizing existing GIS technology, software packages, and equipment utilized by the Tri-Services, and utilizing the GIS standards developed by the Center, to improve and increase efficiency in the accomplishment of all existing and new functions accomplished by the Tri- Services (e.g., planning, engineering, construction, facilities management, environmental compliance, decision-making, reporting, maintenance of records, emergency management). 17. Develop improved techniques for utilizing GIS technology in the existing and new functions accomplished by the Tri-Services. 18. Develop support software to enhance utility of computer programs. 19. Develop, compile, and populate electronic databases utilized in CADD/GIS applications. Gather field data to be used in populating CADD/GIS electronic databases and files through aerial photography, ground surveys, geographical positioning systems, scanning of existing maps, etc. Develop maps, drawings, and reports from populated electronic databases and files. 20. Develop support software, and evaluate existing software, providing for the translation of electronic graphic and nongraphic data between different commercially available and Tri-Service CADD/GIS and database systems. 21. Develop pilot projects, demonstration projects, and assist Tri-Service installations in the development of installation specific GIS systems utilizing installation specific graphic and nongraphic data, and the GIS support software and standards developed at the Center. 22. Develop training programs, prepare instructor and student manuals and materials, and provide instruction to Tri-Service personnel on selected GIS operations and applications. The types of training programs offered are normally those that are not commercially available, and are geared to specific Tri- Service GIS user needs. 23. Assist Center in coordinating with Tri-Service GIS users to determine their GIS software, equipment, applications, and training needs. 24. Assist Center in development/maintenance/revision of the Tri- Service A-E Deliverable Guidelines, Facilities Management Standards, Engineering Document Management Standard, and other appropriate Tri-Service standards. 25. Attend selected Federal Geographic Data Committee and other standards development committee meetings for the purpose of imputing Tri-Service needs, representing Center, taking notes, and preparing meeting minutes. 26. Assist Center in identifying DoD requirements for GIS application software and hardware. 27. Assist Center in establishing and maintaining contacts, and coordinate the development of GIS standards, applications, and criteria, with professional organizations and industry. 28. Assist Center in evaluating selected GIS software, equipment, and application packages to ensure compatibility with existing systems, to determine reliability and ease of operation, and to determine suitability to Tri-Service needs. WES intends to award a one year requirements type contract with options for four additional years.
