D -- COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN SERVICES SOL RFQ97050 DUE 032597 POC Point of Contact, Rebecca Thompson, 304-480-7974, Contracting Officer, Jeanette Biddinger, 304-480-7963 Subject to final approval, the Bureau of the Public Debt, US Access Board, intends to acquire through commercial item acquisition, on a sole-source basis through CADD Microsystems, CADD services to finalize drawings for the American with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines Manual, assemble and layout the document, and provide a complete copy of the manual in computer disk format. This proposed sole-source award precludes duplication of effort and cost and ensures the completion within stringent Government deadlines. The contractor shall revise a balance of 75 CADD drawings to be consistent with the previously revised 175 drawings. This includes modifying graphic conventions, including dimensions, so that all drawings are uniform in style and appearance. In addition, approximately 40 other CADD drawings shall be revised according to instructions from the Access Board. The contractor shall manipulate the images of all 225 drawings through use of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Cork Express graphic software packages in order to add from one to four tones of gray shading used to highlight spatial requirements common to most drawings. The contractor shall correct any inadvertent distortions of drawings that may occur in exporting them from CADD. The contractor shall assemble and layout the document, including pagination, importing all graphics into written text provided by the Access Board in WordPerfect 6.1. The complete document will total approximately 175 pages. The contractor shall provide a complete hard copy to the Access Board for review. The contractor shall make all necessary changes resulting from the review and submit a final complete copy in both hard copy and on disk. Expected project completion time is a total of 8 weeks. All affirmative responses must be in writing and must be accompanied by sufficient documentation to clearly show ability to comply with all the above requirments. If no affirmative written response is received within 5 days, to the effect that comparable services are available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these services through the proposed contractor, a sole-source award will be made. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE. See Note 1. (0069)
