D -- BLM LAND DATA INTEGRATION ANALYSIS SOL NAR000094 DUE 082100 POC Roberta Truax (303)236-8931 The Bureau of Land Management's Data Integration Analysis project requires detailed analysis of all BLM data systems with special emphasis on the LR2000 System. This effort will support the future data migration to National Integrated Land System (NILS) from relational data to object management and geographic information systems (GIS). It is critical that the data is understood, business rules be tracked and mapped correctly, and the data migrated into a standard format to facilitate this migration. The project requires a good understanding of the business problems regarding the storage and classification of land data. Three-dimensional data is currently stored in an alphanumeric format, and is limited to the restrictions placed on it by a two-dimensional system. Excellent analysis skills are required to understand how the land is currently structured and prepare the data for transformation into a spatial system. In addition, the creation of grammar parsers is needed to determine the contents and demographics of the existent data. The result of the current work will be the design of a Lowest Common Denominator data structure and validation of business rule support contained in this data structure. Required skills include: . Expert knowledge of business rule analysis, extraction and storage Experience with business rule grammars Experience in writing data parsers, data migration engines and grammar parsers Expert knowledge in the PERL programming language and Unix utilities Database design and development Ability to perform all facets of data migration, including transformation and cleansing Ability to perform detailed data quality analysis and create nformative reports Knowledge of emerging technologies including object oriented design Presentation of database statistics in the form of tables, charts and graphs Ability to produce professional database analysis reports Understanding of issues surrounding BLM legal land descriptions and land status Understanding of BLM survey types, survey rules and land classification Experience with systems that store land descriptions in an alphanumeric format Required knowledge and experience: Brio Designer; Migration Architect; InfoSelect; Sybase IQ, Informix and Microsoft Access; Axon Idea Processor; Informatica; RuleTrack. The BLM intends to award an IDIQ contract for 1 base year and 4 option years. This acquisition will not require full-time support. The BLM estimates this effort will require 2 employees for a minimum of 1000 hours each for the first year and increased to 1400 hours each for each option year. See Note(s) 1.
