Evaluation Factors

1. Technical Capability/Methodology of Approach for Providing Services The successful offeror shall have demonstrated in their proposal an understanding and suitability of approach towards the requested services. They shall also list demonstrated successful performance with similar federal projects, with particular attention to National Park Service lands, particularly in the Northeast Region, and projects that include terrestrial LiDAR of archeological resources. The successful offeror shall also demonstrate an understanding of terrestrial LiDAR survey, data processing, and visualization of point cloud and solid mesh bare earth models in archeological contexts. To illustrate existing knowledge and experience, potential offerors shall provide in their proposals the following information:

· Survey equipment manufacturer

· Survey control protocol

· Proposed data capture survey parameters: target-based scanning, scan locations, spatial resolution, HDR color imagery, etc.

· Data processing, modeling, and visualization techniques

· Data delivery specifications

2. Professional Qualifications of Key Personnel The Principal Investigator (PI), Field Director must have proven professional experience conducting a minimum of three (3) terrestrial LiDAR projects of similar scope, scale, and complexity for a federal agency. Key personnel overseeing the fieldwork, analysis, and report writing must meet all professional qualifications including, but not limited to, the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archeology (36 CFR 61 and 950 CMR 70.10) and the Archeological Resource Protection act (ARPA) standards for undertaking archeological investigations 943 CFR 7.8 and 7.9). Curriculum vitae’s (CV’s) for all key project personnel who shall be fulfilling this scope of work must be submitted and shall clearly demonstrate the professional qualifications and experience described above.

3. Price Potential offerors shall provide a cost proposal that includes all items listed in the scope of work in sufficient detail (cost and hours) to understand the level of effort for each task and the professionals assigned to accomplish each task. This proposal shall be broken down into categories including pre-fieldwork tasks, draft report and data production, and final reporting and data submission, and all direct costs. Any assumptions must be clearly listed, and the estimate must be reasonable, realistic, and demonstrate the potential service provider understands the level of effort needed to complete the tasks outlined in this scope of work successfully.
