B -- ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY OF SLEEPING BEAR DUNES NATIONAL LAKESHORE SOL 1443RP603097003 DUE 053097 POC Karen K. Schultz, Contracting Officer, (402) 221-3563. The National Park Service is seeking to increase its understanding of the history of the development and administration of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. To accomplish this, an administrative history must be compiled. A park administrative history is a history of a park as an institutional entity. Its purpose is to present the history of the park since the time it was first proposed. No such document exists for Sleeping Bear Dunes. This project will provide for primary research into the legislative history of Sleeping Bear Dunes. The following criteria will be used in the evaluation of the prospective firms in descending order of importance: (1) Personal experience and qualifications, (2) individual or institutional experience, (3) Past performance on similar projects, (4) Cost. The Government may award a contract based on the initial offer received without discussion of such offers. Accordingly, each initial offer should reflect the best technical proposal at the most favorable price which the proposer can offer the Government. This procurement is set aside for small business concerns. Requests for the RFP package must be made in writing and stating the solicitation number 1443RP603097003), complete company name, point of contact, address, area code and phone number, and fax number. Requests shall be sent to the National Park Service, Midwest Regional Office, Attn: Karen Schultz, 1709 Jackson Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68102 or FAX (402) 221-4251. Do not respond to this notice with a proposal. (0106)
