- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-36. The solicitation number is Q9504090016, and the solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This Request for Quotation has been made available through www.fbo.gov to comply with the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(e)) and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 416), that requires contracting officers to disseminate information on proposed contract actions expected to exceed $10,000 or more, by displaying in a public place, or by any appropriate electronic means. Due to the limited amount of public places for positing at Olympic National Park, and the remote locations and accessibility of field sites, electronic posting of Fedbizoppos is utilized to comply with public posting and to promote competition to the extent practical. This solicitation is a small business set-aside. The NAICS code is 512110 with an associated small business size standard of $29.5 million (average gross revenue over past three years). It is the contractor's responsibility to be familiar with applicable clauses and provisions. Clauses and provisions can be found at http://www.arnet.gov/far. This solicitation will result in award of a firm, fixed-price contract. The National Park Service, Olympic National Park, has a requirement for production of nine short movies featuring eight National Park Service sites located in the Pacific Northwest states of Washington and Oregon. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this project is to introduce and educate new audiences (youth, students, teachers, web-users) through on-line movie presentations about current research and science activities, highlighting the diversity of natural and cultural resources in National Parks, and highlighting day-to-day operations of scientific field work. Creative visualization will be a collaborative effort with the contractor and the North Coast and Cascades Research Learning Network (RLN) staff, and will include natural-setting scenic shots, wildlife or other natural resources, on-camera staff interviews, and images of research activities in progress. It is the Government's intention that the contractor film candidates with engaging on-camera personality, who interact well with park field crews, who can be on-location to capture images or reshoot scenes as needed, and deliver finished products on a deadline. Each movie will follow a field crew conducting monitoring or studies (in biology, history, archeology, physical sciences, etc.) for a day at each of the following eight parks: (1) Olympic National Park, headquarters at 600 East Park Avenue, Port Angeles, WA 98362; (2) North Cascades National Park, headquarters at 810 State Route 20, Sedro Woolley, WA 98284; (3) Mount Rainier National Park, headquarters at 55210 238th Avenue East, Ashford, WA 98304; (4) Ebeys Landing National Historical Reserve, headquarters at 162 Cemetary Road, Coupeville, WA 98239; (5) San Juan Islands National Historical Park, headquarters at 4668 Cattle Point Road, Friday Harbor, WA 98250; (6) Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, headquarters at 612 East Reserve Street, Vancouver, WA 98661; (7) Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park - Seattle Unit, headquarters at 319 Second Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98104; and (8) Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, headquarters at 92343 Fort Clatsop Road, Astoria, OR 97103. TASK: Produce a total of 9 each, three to five minute movies: (A) one introductory movie about the RLN featuring all eight parks referenced above, and (B) one movie for each of the eight parks. SCOPE OF WORK: Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary filming permits from parks, and should coordinate with RLN staff because not all filming will require a permit. RLN staff will provide appropriate movie content, including the NPS mission statement, and other detailed park information, with the intent that the movies convey factual park information, the importance of why studying a particular resource is vital to achieving NPS goals, and show that science and research are performed in National Parks. The RLN will coordinate for the contractor, all on-site interviews with park staff, and will be present for most of the filming. The Government anticipates filming can be achieved in a day at each of the eight parks, and overnight stays in the field with NPS researchers or scientists will not be required. However, arrangements can be made for the contractor to stay in the field overnight by agreement of the RLN and NPS staff. Field work may require contractor's crew to cross difficult terrain and film in varying weather conditions. Upon contractor's submittal of "first draft" of the nine movies, allow six weeks for the RLN staff to review and comment. Final submittal shall include three master DVDs, raw footage, and edited video files. HD Video and Final Cut Pro format is preferred. COMPLETION DATE: The Government intends that filming be spread out during spring and summer 2010, rather than completed all at once. The contract performance period will be twelve months from date of award. The contractor must complete all work within the twelve-month performance period, providing final approved movies to Olympic National Park no later than the end date stated in the contract. DELIVERY: Final movies shall be submitted to the attention of Jerry Freilich at Olympic National Park, 600 East Park Avenue, Port Angeles, Washington 98362. Full details of NPS computer formats will be provided after award.
