70 -- LAND RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROJECT (LRMP). DUE 081095. Contact Sharon L. Marianito, 202/273-0267/Contracting Officer, Jeffrey Shane Compton, 202/208-2591. The purpose of the LRMP is to reautomate existing land title and records data, systems, and business processes and functions into a distributed processing environment. Initially, this will be done through the development and completion of the Land Records Information System-II (LRIS-2). The LRMP will also automate and integrate manual functions such as chain-of-title and ownership processing, document image management and retrieval, and title status mapping in the Land Records History and Imaging System (LHIS) component of the LRMP. The development of LRMP systems in the distributed processing environment will allow other bureau programs, offices and data systems to share and access land data, land record or title document and ownership data maintained by the Land Title and Records program (LTR) and the Land Records Improvement (LRI) program. The heart of the Land Title Mapping System is the GIS software Arc/Info from Environmental Systems Research Incorporated (ESRI). Arc/Info provides storage and retrieval of spatial information and creation of custom applications for accessing the spatial information. The LTMS application is written in the Arc Macro Language (AML). AML is a machine independent interpretive language requiring Arc/Info for development and runtime. All LTMS data entry and LTMS database creation occurs inside of Arc/Info. The number and type of Arc/Info licenses required for database development and central site storage at the Geographic Data Service Center, and running the LTMS application at the two pilot sites: three each - 6 User Node-Locked Arc/Info Licenses, 1 each for the GDSC, Aberdeen LTRO, and Billings LTRO. Three each - Arc/Info Installation and Media Kits, 1 each for the GDSC, Aberdeen LTRO, and Billings LTRO. These licenses are for the LTMS Unix servers. The GDSC has Arc/Info licenses available for the data entry requirement. General requirements for Unix servers compatible with Arc/Info GIS software is described as three base systems, two disk storage units for the LTRO servers, one disk storage unit for the central repository server. The general requirements for data entry Unix workstations compatible with Arc/Info is five Unix workstations. The Unix System Administration Software should address the following characteristics: Standard, Security, Workload Management/Scheduling, Land Title Mapping System - Pilot Sites Deployment, Backup and Archive Management, Problem Management, Console Operations, Performance Monitoring, Other Miscellaneous Requirements. Accessories needed are four modems, seven Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS), three ASCII terminals, and three Switch Boxes. Six PC workstations along with an X windows emulator are also required. Three Small format color inkjet printers are required, one at each LTMS site along with three Large format color inkjet plotters, one at each LTMS site. Three 10baseT Ethernet hub/repeaters, one network serial port terminal/printer server, one data entry digitizing tablet, along with color inkjet printer supplies will be needed. The contract to be awarded for the above requirements will be set-aside for award under the authority of 25 U.S.C. 47, Buy Indian Act. The Government reserves the option to award on an ``all or none'' basis or a multiple award. A detailed list of all products and quantities needed will be included in the solicitation. (202)
