PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) TECHNICAL SUPPORT

1. BACKGROUND

This PWS is provided to establish requirements for Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation/BOR) Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) technical support principally for the California Great-Basin (CGB) Region.

GIS is a complex system of databases and software applications (including but not limited to: Global Positioning Systems, Computer-Aided Drafting, and Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) software and applications) to capture, store, check and display, analyze data, and produce information related to the surface of the Earth. The data exists as tables, models, maps, and spectral imagery. Geospatial data has a unique component in that it can show relationships between tabular data sets. Its purpose is to support Reclamation’s mission and programs and their analytical needs.

2. OBJECTIVE

To operate the CGBGIS Service Center for the CGB Region of Reclamation. This includes developing and maintaining the regional spatial resources enterprise databases and Reclamation-wide enterprise data to meet Reclamation’s objectives and comply with Federal Government policies that concern data. Service support includes providing GIS and related technologies for the CGB Region in the following categories:

2.1. GIS Technical Service (Firm Fixed Price)

COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION

5. DESCRIPTION

The work performed by the CGB GIS Service Center staff will involve expert use of the ESRI GIS software suite. Reclamation uses an extensive library of natural resource and engineering databases as they relate to water resource management and environmental modeling, The tasks are centered on analysis, development and maintenance of spatial databases, development of applications using but not limited to the following programming languages: VB.net, C#, Javascript/HTML, ASP.net, MVC, ArcObjects/COM, Python, and Arcade. Understanding of frameworks such as Bootstrap, Breeze, JQuery and or Dojo. Other tasks include web-based services, map development and reporting. This includes integrating environmental models (e.g., DHI models, CALSIM, LTC) with GIS, developing links to external databases from the ArcGIS environment and designing user interfaces and helping maintain a sound GIS enterprise environment. Some of the work will also involve the use of Remote Sensing technology. The work performed will require in-depth use of computer hardware and software architecture, including peripheral devices normally used by GIS such as network printers, scanners, and GPS units and other data collection technologies. A thorough understanding of computer architecture and networks is desirable, as the work occasionally requires system management tasks to be performed such as GIS software upgrades, and operating system maintenance.

To constitute a proper invoice, the payment request must comply with the requirements identified in the applicable Prompt Payment clause included in the contract, or the clause 52.212-4 Terms and Conditions - Commercial Products and Commercial Services included in commercial item contracts.

Under this contract, the following documents are required to be submitted as an attachment to the IPP invoice:

The contractor is encouraged to upload a copy of their invoice and supporting documentation to IPP.gov that will allow Reclamation to verify that the products or services comply with the terms of the contract. The information in the uploaded documents should not conflict with the data fields in the IPP submissions (service dates, invoice number, etc.). Prior to submitting an invoice to IPP, the contractor may coordinate with the designated Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), for review and verification of quantities for payment and for compliance with the applicable progress payment requirements of this contract. Prior coordination with the COR will allow for streamlined processing of the invoice.

The Contractor must use the IPP website to register access and use IPP for submitting requests for payment.

The Contractor Government Business Point of Contact (as listed in SAM) will receive enrollment instructions via email from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRBSTL) within 3 - 5 business days of the contract award date.

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System DEC 2015

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The

Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in CPARS for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO).

Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions.
