Description

Amendment 0001 to Solicitation Number DAAD01-01-T-0005 is published to answer questions and extend the proposal due date. NOTE: No hard copy or written solicitation is available as this is a Synopsis/Solicitation IAW FAR Part 12. See our Contracting web site at http://www.yuma.army.mil/contracting/rfp.html and the original CBD Notice Published on 15 December 2000. QUESTION 1: In paragraph 5.1 it says, "in order to determine what is required to build an archeological predictive model (PM)" There is a broad range of items that can be predicted from a model that can influence a feasibility study. Thus, knowing the specific prediction from the model will influence the initial work. An archeological PM can be integrated with the effects of munitions and/or the effects of vehicles as well as chemicals. Thus, knowing exactly what the model is to predict is important. What is it that you desire to predict from the archeological PM? ANSWER 1: The purpose of the PM is to assist us with long range planning and management of our land usage. The PM's focus is to identify the types of cultural resources present at YPG and determine the relationship between resource types, identifiable features of the cultural/natural environment, then extrapolating these observations to an entire area where different types and number of sites, features, etc., will or are apt to occur. QUESTION 2: Are any of the following data sets are already in GIS format: archaeological sites, topography, hydrology, base boundaries, geology, geomorphology, and/or vegetation? Also, are recent aerial photos or satellite images available for this project? I realize that the objective of the project is to determine what data sets are needed to complete a predictive model, but any information I could have up front will be very useful in preparing the proposal. ANSWER 2: YPG imagery is largely available in both color and black and white (DOQQs) (digital ortho-photo quadrangle quadrants). Imagery of 7.5' topographical maps (showing contours, hydrology, boundaries and improvements) are available. GIS layers exist for base boundary, soils and hydrology at 1:24,000. Portions of YPG have geology, archeology and geomorphology digitized at same scale. Coarse scale (1:500,000) GIS layers exist for vegetation and geology. There are public access web sites available at: and http://aria.arizona.edu/ and http://www.land.state.az.us/alris/alrishome.html and http://usgsbrd.srnr.arizona.edu/nbii/index.html. QUESTION 3: What other offerors have shown intent to submit a proposal? ANSWER 3: Information on the other offerors is considered competition sensitive and will not be released; however, it is important that you notify Becci.Winkler@Yuma-exch1.army.mil that you are submitting a proposal as this will enable us to provide you information quicker. In light of the above, and to enable additional time to prepare technical proposals, the date and time for receipt of Contractor proposals is extend to NO LATER THAN 2:30 PM, MST ON 4 JANUARY 2001.
