R -- DEVELOPMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY FOR THE PARK SOL 1443RP8140-97-033 DUE 082097 POC Kathryn Rato, 415-561-4503 The National Park Service, Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), San Francisco, CA has identified a requirement for the development of a Park Administrative History. The History is a publication, written to professional historical standards, whose purpose is to provide baseline data for park managers, planners and interpreters about how the park was conceived and established and how it has been managed to the present day. GGNRA is soliciting for the development of the first phase of this document at this time. The first phase consist of the compilation and assessment of research data and development of an annotated bibliography and a thematic outline of the document. This requirement does not include the actual text as a deliverable. The project schedule is for contract award to be accomplished by Sept. 30, 1997 and for the project to be completed by March 1999. GGNRA is 25 years old and in 1994, the Presidio of San Francisco became the most recent major addition to the park; but no official Administrative History of the park, nor well-researched account of this Park exists. This account will be challenging to write in a manner that integrates the numerous themes associated with the park's history, giving appropriate weight to elements of significance, and resulting in a clear and compelling document. The level of investigation is to be thorough, which means researching selected archives, libraries, museums other repositories that may involve travel beyond the San Francisco Area. The research will include review of photos, minutes and transcripts of meetings, and existing oral history interviews, as well as official records of NPS and the records of various organizations contributing to the Park's history. The actual interviewing of additional persons who may be beneficial to the project is not a part of this requirement. The following criteria that are to be given equal importance during evaluation are: (1) Understanding the Scope of the Requirement and soundness of the approach as shown by the proposal; (2) Professional qualifications of the contractor and his staff, including commitment of personnel, expertise and resources to be applied towards this project; (3) Demonstrated successful accomplishment on similar projects in the past. The applicable SIC Code is 8999. This solicitation is set aside for Small Business Concerns. The National Park Service, GGNRA welcomes and encourages small disadvantaged, and women-owned business concerns to participate. Solicitation documents will be available o/a 07/18/97. Requests for solicitation MUST be submitted in writing to address contained herein. Facsimile requests will be accepted at 415-561-4515 . Email request to kathryn_rato@nps.gov.
