However, the Contractor may be asked to work outside these boundaries. Work will be negotiated and initiated by issuance of delivery orders with the contract NTE $1,000,000 per year, total contract NTE $3,000,000 and each delivery order NTE $1,000,000.

In accordance with Public Law 95-707, large business firms are reminded that a subcontracting plan will be required which provides for subcontracting work to Small and Small Disadvantaged firms to the maximum extent practicable. If any of the work is to be subcontracted, the Albuquerque District goal is for 61.4% of the subcontracted dollars to go to small businesses with 9.1% and 5.0% of those dollars going to small disadvantaged businesses and woman-owned businesses, respectively. In addition, the Albuquerque District goal is for 1.5% of the subcontracted dollars to go to HUBZone small businesses. To be eligible for contract award, the firm must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR).

PROJECT INFORMATION: The work will involve all services associated with the production of digital mapping including; ground control surveys, associated utility surveys, aerial photography, stereocompilation, photo lab processing, analytical aerotriangulation, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data acquisition and processing, GIS data collection and submission of metadata files, and topographic and digital orthophoto base mapping. Both English and Metric systems of measurement will be utilized. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for the general selection process. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-e are primary. Criteria f-h are secondary and will be used as 'tie-breakers' among technically qualified firms. (a) SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE. Firms must demonstrate experience in: ground control and utility surveys; aerial photography; planimetric, topographic, and digital orthophoto base mapping; Geographic Information Systems (GIS)/remote sensing work; LIDAR data collection and processing; and digital terrain modeling (DTM). The firm must be able to provide an aerial camera with a 6-inch focal length that has been calibrated by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) within the last three years. The firm must indicate the ability to deliver final mapping in MicroStation (versions SE or J) and AutoCAD (versions 14 or 2000). The firm must also indicate the ability to provide DTM's in Intergraph InRoads version 7.0 DTM binary file format or as regular point and break point ASCII files compatible with InRoads version 7.0. Firms must be able to provide GIS and remote sensing data in formats compatible with ARC View and ARC/INFO version 8.0, software. Firms must also have an established Quality Control program. (b) PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS. The firm must have a certified photogrammetrist in-house. The firm must also be able to provide a registered land surveyor and expertise for the following: ground control and utility surveys; aerial photography; orthophotography; analytical aerotriangulation; stereocompilation; remote sensing; LIDAR data processing; drafting; and photo lab processing. The photogrammetrist or stereocompiler must have experience in preparing DTM's and development of GIS and data using remote sensing data sets. The survey party chief must be experienced with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. (c.) PAST PERFORMANCE. Past performance on contracts with Governmental agencies and private industry in terms of quality of work, cost control, and compliance with performance schedules will be considered. (d.) CAPACITY. The firm must demonstrate the personnel and equipment capacity necessary to accomplish two concurrent delivery orders. (e.) KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOCALITY. Firms' knowledge of the area and State Plane Coordinate Grid Systems encompassed by the Albuquerque District boundaries is advantageous. (f.) Location of the firm with respect to Albuquerque, New Mexico, provided there are a sufficient number of qualified firms in the area. (g.) Volume of DoD contract awards in the last 12 months with the objective of effecting an equitable distribution of DoD architect-engineer contracts among qualified architect-engineer firms including small and small disadvantaged firms, and firms that have not had prior DoD contracts. (h.) Extent of participation of SB, SDB, historically black colleges and universities, and minority institutions in the proposed contract team, measured as a percentage of the estimated effort. In-house capabilities will be weighted heavier than subcontracted work in the evaluation process. Joint Venture Firms will be considered as having capabilities in-house. 4.
