D -- TRI-SERVICE ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING/CONSTRUCTION (A/E/C) CADD STANDARDS SOL DACA39-95-R-0056 POC Contract Specialist, Jack Little, 601-634-3175 The Tri-Service CADD/GIS Technology Center (CEWES-IM-DA), U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi, has a requirement for research, computer applications development, engineering development, training, standards development, and technology transfer work that is planned as part of ongoing and proposed Research and Development (R&D) Programs and reimbursable activities. Generally, these services may involve performing research/applied research to support the application of CADD (Computer-Aided Design and Drafting) technologies for the Architectural/Engineering/Construction (A/E/C), and other new and existing mission areas of the Tri-Services (i.e., Army, Navy, and Air Force). Because the Tri-Service CADD/GIS Technology Center is performing work for all three services of the armed forces, plus the Corps of Engineers, the type and quality of research and services required by this contract are very broad. A partial listing of the types of services required is as follows: A. Evaluate, develop, and recommend drawing/drafting standards (e.g., border sheets, title blocks, drawing scales), map/drawing level/layer assignments, color assignments, line styles and weights, symbols, etc. B. Evaluate, develop, and recommend standard and generic details and symbols. C. Develop load/seed, conversion, translation, implementation, data checking, and/or applications software, user's guides, and user's manuals. D. Develop MDL, AutoLISP, database, ''C'', and/or other software programs and routines. E. Develop customized menus and Graphical User Interface's (GUIs) for CADD and computer programs. F. Develop pilot and implementation projects. G. Prepare technical reports, papers, documents, and electronic digital media for the items discussed above and below, as well as other CADD related assignments. H. Visit selected Tri-Service installations planning CADD system acquisitions for the purpose of inspecting existing computer capabilities, interviewing personnel, and determining the installation requirements and capabilities. I. Assist selected Tri-Service installations install purchased CADD equipment and software. K. Develop specific CADD support software utilizing existing CADD technology, software packages, and equipment utilized by the Tri-Services, and utilizing the CADD 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). L. Develop improved techniques for utilizing CADD technology in the existing and new functions accomplished by the Tri-Services. M. Develop support software to enhance utility of computer programs. N. Develop, compile, and populate electronic databases utilized in CADD 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. O. 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 and database systems. P. Develop pilot projects, demonstration projects, and assist Tri- Service installations in the development of installation specific CADD systems utilizing installation specific graphic and nongraphic data, and the CADD support software and standards developed at the Center. Q. Develop training programs, prepare instructor and student manuals and materials, and provide instruction to Tri-Service personnel on selected CADD operations and applications. The types of training programs offered are normally those that are not commercially available, and are geared to specific Tri-Service CADD user needs. R. Assist Center in coordinating with Tri-Service CADD users to determine their CADD software, equipment, applications, and training needs. S. Assist Center in development/maintenance/revision of the A-E CADD Deliverable Guidelines, Generic CADD Details, Standard Designs, Engineering Document Management Standard, and other appropriate Tri-Service standards. T. Attend selected Federal Geographic Data Committee and other standards development committee meetings for the purpose of inputing Tri-Service needs, representing Center, taking notes, and preparing meeting minutes. U. Assist Center in identifying DoD requirements for CADD application software and hardware. V. Assist Center in establishing and maintaining contacts, and coordinate the development of CADD standards, applications, and criteria, with professional organizations and industry. W. Assist Center in evaluating selected CADD 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. Requests for Solicitation DACA39-95-R-0056 may be sent via facsimile to 601-634-4319 or mailed to the address shown in block 7; and will be accepted from all interested parties. (0173)
