DescriptionALL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR INTERESTED PARTIES TO SUBMIT ASTANDARD FORM (SF) 330, ARCHITECT ENGINEER QUALIFICATIONS IS CONTAINED HEREIN.THERE IS NO SEPARATE RFP PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD.Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Professional Surveying, Mapping andEngineering services and support are required for one (1) Indefinite QuantityContract for projects located primarily within the Naval Facilities EngineeringCommand, Atlantic's (NAVFAC LANTs) Area of Responsibility (AOR). The primaryarea of focus for this contract is the eastern portion of the United States,however, can be used to support the entire NAVFAC LANT AOR, which includes theentire continental United States (CONUS), Caribbean, and outside continentalUnited States (OCONUS), including Europe, Africa, Western Asia, and SouthAmerica. Some task orders occasionally may address non-Navy sites or other Navyregions outside the primary area of focus including the remaining NAVFAC LANTAOR and NAVFAC Pacific AOR to support joint service or global efforts.The primary tasks anticipated under this contract are:a.) Development of surveys and mapping associated with the planning anddevelopment of real property. b.) Creation of vector data through feature extraction (e.g. digitizing featuresfrom aerial photography or satellite imagery) including environmental featuressuch as wetland boundaries, invasive species and/or endangered species habitat. c.) Development of geometric networks for utility systems and the fieldverification/population of attributes for utility equipment.d.) Research of records, documentation of metadata and field data collection(e.g. use of conventional surveying techniques, Global Positioning Systems,ground penetrating radar).e.) Geospatial data acquisition and feature development through remote sensingtechniques (e.g. satellite imagery, LIDAR, digital orthophotography,hyperspectral imagery).f.) Geospatial feature and theme development (e.g. Develop thematicdeliverables such as land use or land coverage maps).g.) Aerial flyovers and imagery analysis (e.g. Perform flyovers and changedetection).h.) Training of personnel, documentation of GIS data, as well as preparation ofuser guides and manuals on using GIS software deliverables.i.) Writing of technical reports pertaining to GIS systems development andneeds.j.) Database design and development, data modeling, database administration,development and/or implementation of geographic information system applicationsfor various systems and uses.k.) Geospatial data Integration (e.g. Integrate geospatial data with currentand future Navy Asset Management Systems).l.) System Development (e.g. User interface design and system integration withcurrent and future Navy Asset Management Systems).m.) Update and maintenance of Geographical Information Systems data to supportother business processes (e.g. geo-referencing floor plans to support AT/FP orspace management).The Consultant must demonstrate its and each key sub-consultants qualificationswith respect to the published evaluation factors for all services. EvaluationFactors (1) through (3) are considered most important and equal; factors (4)through (6) are slightly less important and equal; and factors (7) and (8) areof lesser importance and will be used as tiebreakers among technically equalfirms. Specific evaluation factors include:1. Specialized Experience:(a) Specialized experience and technicalcompetence of particular staff members in the development and implementation ofGeographic Information System (GIS) applications for various feature systems(b)Knowledge of Navy regulations and standards (Spatial Data Standards forFacilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (SDSFIE); Federal Geographic DataCommittee (FGDC) Metadata standards)(c) Specialized experience and technicalcompetence of staff members or subcontractors in the development andimplementation of Geographic Information System (GIS) applications for electric,water, and wastewater utility systems.2. Professional Qualifications: (a) ESRI certified trainers and professionalregistration of the engineering and surveying staff. It will not be necessaryfor prospective firms to hold registrations within the entire AOR at the time ofsubmission of the SF 330, but the ability and willingness to obtain registrationwhere it may be needed will be considered in evaluating qualifications. Jointventures among Contractors/Sub-Contractors for various technical expertise willbe encouraged and all Sub-Contractors shall be identified at time of bid alongwith their qualifications.(b) Recent experience of the firm (within the past 3years) in GIS feature and system development for federal facilities, utilizingdatabases, AutoCAD, ArcInfo, ArcView, ArcIMS, and ArcExplorer; and GPS datasurvey. Must also provide documentation verifying subcontractual status with afirm with photogrammetric capabilities for obtaining, registering, rectifying,and mosaicing aerial photography and satel lite imagery and use of LIDAR.(c) The firms capability to provide qualifiedbackup staffing for key personnel to ensure continuity of services and abilityto surge to meet unexpected project demands; and to provide qualified technicalstaff in support of field data collection for utility systems.3. Past Performance: Firms will be evaluated in past performance withrespect to work quality, compliance with schedules, and cost effectiveness (withemphasis on projects addressed in Evaluation Factor 1). 4. Prime and sub consultants geographic location with respect to thecontract primary area of focus.5. Ability to perform the work to schedules and capacity to accomplishmultiple tasks simultaneously (show current and projected workload). Firms willbe evaluated in terms of impact of this workload on the planning staff'sprojected workload during the contract period. 6.
