Firm(s) will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The A-E Services may include but are not limited to Airborne and Land Based Remote Sensing (including Photogrammetry), Boundary Surveys, Topographic Surveys, Bathymetric Surveys, Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) and Geographical Information/Information Technology Systems (GIS) product development. The location of Engineering Services will include the Omaha District (Civil Works and Military Works) boundaries of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, the Northwestern Division (Seattle District, Portland District, Walla Walla District and Kansas City District) and nationwide locations of the customers of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This solicitation is set aside for SMALL BUSINESS under NAICS Code 541370-Surveying and Mapping Services. The small business size standard effective March 12, 2012 is $14 Million. At least 50% of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel must be expended for employees of the prime firm as required by FAR 19.508(e) and 52.219-14. Up to five (5) indefinite delivery contracts will be negotiated and awarded, each for five (5) years. The amount of each contract will not exceed $9 Million. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price task orders. The Contracting Officer will consider the following factors in deciding which contractor will be selected to negotiate an order: performance and quality of deliverables under the current contract, current capacity to accomplish the order in the required time, uniquely specialized experience, and equitable distribution of work among the contractors. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under these contracts must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act, as determined relative to the employee's office location (not the location of the work). To be eligible for contract award, a firm MUST BE REGISTERED in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at http://www.ccr.gov PROJECT INFORMATION Work may include aircraft operations as a platform for LiDAR and digital imagery acquisition supporting development of topographic (DTM/TIN) and orthophotographic products. Surveying requirements consist of establishing horizontal and vertical control for cadastral, topographic, photogrammetric, and hydrographic and construction surveying. Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying capability will be required utilizing static, fast static and kinematic procedures to obtain three dimensional (3-D) coordinate values. Total Station 3-D data collection techniques may be required including break-line technology (DTM/TIN compilation) and locating/verifying both above and below ground utility systems using all available electronic means. Related efforts may include feature and topographic detailing, drafting, procurement of satellite imagery, generation of CADD and GIS products and supplemental ground topographic survey densification. Final product delivery will be in the most recent versions of relevant software including MicroStation V8, AutoCAD, ESRI, ERDAS and SDSFIE formats. All data requires development and delivery of associated FGDC compliant metadata. The US Army Corps of Engineers requires Firm(s) follow various accuracy standards and guidelines during data acquisition and processing such as the National Map Accuracy Standards, CADD Standards and USACE Engineering Manuals (EMs). Offerors are advised that there could be requirements for performance of work on U.S. Government Federal Properties or Military Installations requiring proper identification and appropriate clearances for personnel to gain access. SELECTION CRITERIA The selection criteria for this particular project are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion).
