D -- GSTC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING SERVICES SOL RFP 51-00-014 DUE 041200 POC Nelda Montgomery, 801/975-3443/Contracting Officer, Karen Goodsell 801/975-3442 WEB: nmontgom/wo_gstc@fs.fed.us, nmontgom/wo_gstc@fs.fed.us. The purpose of this contract is to support the development requirements of the Geospatial Service and Technology Center (GSTC) by obtaining computer programming, software integration, and database administration services.The primary focus of this contract will be to support the development and implementation of GSTC's new production/data management environment. Programming support of GSTC legacy systems and processes is also required. Oracle database administration services may be required. Services from this contract will suppport the development of a new system compatible with the Forest Service/IBM corporate environment. The new system will be known as ADMS (Advanced Data Management System). It is planned with a client/server architecture where Oracle and SDE (Spatial Database Engine) will manage geospatial data and serve the data to client applications. It will incorporate current and evolving technology to support the production of a variety of map products, to include digital and web-based maps as well as GSTC's traditional hardcopy Primary Base Series (PBS) and Secondary Base Series (SBS) maps. ADMS will also include data editing, data conversion, data transfer, data clearinghouse, and data warehouse clients. ADMS development will integrate COTS software wherever practical. Software maintenance of some legacy processes (as found in the production of digital ortho quads (DOQs), digital elevation models (DEMs), cadastral data, PBS maps and SBS maps) is also required. The contractor will work as a development team member and participate in meetings and discussions relating to the planning, design, and development of ADMS. ADMS will incorporate Object Oriented Analysis & Design (OOAD) technology. The contractor will be expected to incorporate OOAD methodology into programming services tasks. This contract requires expertise in the following applications and languages: ArcInfo versions 7 and 8, ArcView, Oracle versions 7 and 8, Spatial Database Engine, Arc Macro Language, Avenue, Visual Basic, VisualBasic for Applicaitons, C, C++, Java, HTML, CLIX/AIX shell script, Oracle PL/SQL, SQL script, Fortran, MDL, and Microstation. Fortran, MDL, and Microstation are required for legacy process maintenance only. Development platforms include: PC/Windows, PC/NT, workstation/AIX, Server/AIX, workstation/CLIX, server/CLIX. Presently GSTC possesses appropriate Oracle Database Administrator resources. Unexpected events (such as unplanned attrition or resource re-allocation) may create a need for the timely acquisition of Oracle DBA resources to support ADMS development, implementation, and maintenance. Duties of the Oracle DBA include: install/upgrade Oracle software, trouble-shoot Oracle system or application problems, recover data and/or databases, tune databases, allocate additional space, development database procedures (PL SQL), install and administer SDE. This project will include one base year and two option years. Solicitations may be ordered by fax at (801) 975-3478 or in writing to the above address.***** Posted 02/28/00 (W-SN429254). (0059)
