PROJECT INFO RMATION: Engineering services will consist of horizontal and vertical control surveys, structural deformation studies, route surveys, quantity surveys, land surveys, construction layout surveys, geodetic surveys, and real property surveys of Government-ow ned land tracts, such as levees, reservoirs, or dredge disposal areas. This may be required to establish or re-establish corners, monuments and boundary lines, or for the purpose of describing fixed improvements, or platting or dividing parcels. These serv ices will be used as necessary to support engineering studies to include design and construction, planning, operation and maintenance of navigation and flood control projects, real estate and emergency management activities for projects within the jurisdic tion of the selecting Districts and may be utilized for Division wide projects. The District and division boundaries are shown at http://www.usace.army.miYinet/locations/bdry-pages/. All mileage computed in regard to a particular task order will be measure d from the District office. Surveys require personnel and equipment necessary to obtain surveys of second and third order accuracy (NGS standards). Facilities must be capable of producing topographic mapping that conforms to the National Map Accuracy Stan dards. Some surveys shall use totally automated systems with the capability of positioning by use of a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). Firm(s) must also verify possession or ability to obtain backup (conventional/terrestrial) positioning sys tems in the event that satellite transmission for DGPS positioning is interrupted, blocked, or not available. Firms must be able to submit survey and mapping data in the formats requested by the government. These formats include, but are not limited to Tri mNet, Geolab, Metadata, 3D-Microstation, CADD, AUTO-CADD, Hypack, Excel, and ASCII. The files may be requested on 3.5 floppy disk, zip disk, CD ROM, DVD, or ele ctronic transfer. In addition to the above formats, firms must have e-mail capability for project updates, status reports, file transfer abilities (FTP), etc. The government will only accept the final product, without conversion or reformatting, in the sta ted formats. Firms must have the capability of complying with the current U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manuals EM-1 110-1-1003, EM-1 110-1-1005, EM-1 110-1-1004 & EM-1 110-1-1002. Firms must also have the capability of complying with the Tri-Service Spatia l Data standards. Firms must have the capability of using the Global Positioning system (GPS) for geodetic control surveys, in addition to conventional surveying mapping instruments suitable for the stated accuracies. Work may require using the metric syst em. A detailed list of survey instruments indicating age, technical specifications (indicating compliance with the NGS standards for second and third order survey accuracies) brand name, and mechanical condition of all instruments must be furnished. 3. SE LECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria for this particular contract are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion).
