Photogrammetric requirements will consist of aerial photography, analytical aerotriangulation, stereomapping compilation, and orthophotography, landuse/landcover interpretation and photogrammetric control surveys. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for general A-E selection process information. The selection criteria are listed in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by sub-criterion). Criteria a. through d. are primary. Criteria e. and f. are secondary and will only be used as ''tie-breakers'' among technically equal firms. a. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence: (1) experience in photogrammetric production and control surveys (Global Positioning System and conventional) acquisition; (2) photogrammetric equipment including owning or leasing airworthy aircraft, currently certified precision aerial mapping camera, photographic lab for reproducing aerial photographic and mapping products, hardware and software to perform fully analytical aero-triangulation, analytical stereoplotter instrumentation interfaced for digital data collection of planimetric and topographic features, DTM, DEM data collection and manipulation of terrain data, digital data editing facilities, ability to provide orthophoto products (hardcopy and digital), and airborne GPS capabilities for aircraft navigation and photo control. (3) technical production expertise consistent with utilization of photogrammetric equipment; (4) capability to collect and deliver digital data (2D and 3D) properly formatted on appropriate media; (5) ability to acquire and utilize remotely sensed data to incorporate into existing mapping data bases and/or generate thematic maps; (6) facilities and capability to gather historical photos and/or sensor image data from hardcopy and/or digital sources and perform photo image interpretation to detect landuse and change analysis utilizing digital softcopy techniques and software (i.e., ERDAS, ARC/INFO) and manually via hardcopy. Create digital files depicting change analysis, compile summary report characterizing major changes, and storing of data along with text annotation into a CADD environment; (7) contractor facilities must have capability to deliver digital data on CDROM, optical rewritable disks, 8mm tapes, magnetic 9-track computer tapes, 5.25'' high density floppy disks and 3.5'' (1.0 MB) micro disks. Digital data must be readable and fully operational with U.S. Geological Survey DLG-3, AutoCAD, ARC/INFO (GIS), ERDAS, MIPS, GRASS and Intergraph system formats. b. Capacity to Accomplish the Work (1) capacity of firm to furnish equipment and personnel to accomplish work as required to maintain delivery of a quality product on a timely schedule; (2) ability to provide ground survey equipment (Global Positioning System and conventional) and personnel to accomplish control surveys on a timely schedule. Rankings of firms will include an analysis of inhouse facilities versus the need to subcontract portions of the work. c. Professional Qualifications: Certified photogrammetrists (ASPRS or State), Registered Land Surveyors, all as permanent staff members. The evaluation is to consider education, training, registration, overall and relevant experience, longevity with the firm and personnel strength. d. Past Performance Past performance on DOD and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work and compliance with performance schedules. e.
