MWAC - Complete Archeological Overview and Assessments 36649 - 140P6022Q0025 Questions and Answers

· What percent of GIS material do you anticipate will need to be created manually by digitization looking through all the sources versus what will be able to obtain from the SHPOs already in a GIS format?

MWAC has archeological base maps for both parks that contain point, line, and polygon data for all known sites in the parks. A comparison of MWAC data with SHPO data has not been completed so there may be some discrepancy in location information between the two, however the MWAC data should be more complete and more accurate. Most sites in both parks have also been relocated and assessed and in many cases new location data collected with GPS, but some sites recorded pre-GPS that have not been revisited may need the location information updated based on original site forms. The number of sites that may need such work is expected to be less than 10%. Some work may also be needed to update survey polygons. Again, that is anticipated to be less than 10% of completed surveys as the MWAC data is very complete and accurate.

· Roughly how many curated collections do you anticipate that we will need to visit?

For both parks it appears the majority of the collections are at MWAC. There may also be a few items at park facilities. A review of museum records would be necessary to confirm that there are no other collections at other facilities but that seems unlikely.

· Is there an estimated award date?

Estimated on or before 8/19/2022

· On the past performance, do they need to be sent directly to the government or are they to be included in the proposal submission?

Past performance shall be included with your quote submission.
