B -- GEOLOGIC/GEOPHYSICAL MAPS USING GEOGRAPHIX SOFTWARE SOL 99WRQQ0009 DUE 112398 POC Sonya Baird (650) 329-4168 or fax (650) 329-5480 U. S. Geological Survey intends to negotiate and award a contract to Michelle Killgore, 3121 Granada Ave. #43, Santa Clara, CA 95051 to accomplish the following services. The North Alaska Petroleum Studies Project requires a series of geologic, geophysical, and specialty contour maps using Geographix geographic information system (the GES module) and instruction in the use of the GES module and the well-log analysis module, PRIZM. These maps, based on a 3 X 6 mile seismic grid and about 80 wells, are required for petroleum baseline geologic studies of the National Petroleum Reserves in Alaska (NPRA) and nearby areas that will provide the technical foundation for new assessments of the region's oil and gas potential. Using USGS data bases and coverages prepared and entered by USGS personnel (such as coastline, township and range, well locations, and drainage), the project requires the creation of various structure contour and isopach maps, specialized geologic or geophysical contour maps. Contractor will instruct USGS personnel in EarthVision sotware in concert with Geographix. Contractor will investigate the utility of using EarthVision software to display and analyze seismic-serived data from Geographix output. Map coverages will include shot-point locations. Maps will be portrayed in terms of travel time and thickness of feet. Creation of each isopach map will first require the generation of a separate velocity map. Contractor will use Geographix to generate a series of contour maps of selected geochemical, thermal maturity, or other geophysical characteristics within the National Petroluem Reserve in Alaska (NPRA). Work also involves the exchange of files between Geographix and ARC/INFO. and training USGS employees . Contractor must possess expertise in geology, experience in petroleum geology, and required software. Contractor must be proficient in use of MAC, PC equipment, and HP 650C color plotters, network/file servers, the internet, Microsoft Windows, Word, and Excell. Performance is on site at U. S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, CA. Estimated award date is 27 November 1998. Period of Performance is 1 December 1998 through 30 September 1999. All responsible offers may submit an offer which shall be considered. Responses may be mailed to U. S. Geological Survey, Office of Acquisition & Federal Assistance, MS-285, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025-3591. Note 1 applies. Posted 11/18/98 (W-SN272530). (0322)
