UNRESTRICTED Classification Code: T008 -- Photographic, mapping, printing, & publication services NAICS Code: 541370 -- Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services/541370 -- Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: These contracts are being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6 and supplements thereto. Services of a qualified firm are sought to provide Photogrammetric and LiDAR Surveying and Mapping. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications to accomplish the required work. This announcement may result in up to ten (10) awards including a target of five (5) or more small businesses awards with the remaining awards coming from among the firms not awarded to as a small business (unrestricted firms or small business firms not receiving an award targeted for small businesses). In the final selection process, the most highly qualified firms will be interviewed. The total capacity of the ten (10) contracts is $200,000,000; total value of each contract will be $16M or larger. The ten (10) contracts will be IDIQ contracts for a period of five (5) years. In the event there are not enough most highly qualified small business firms among the most highly qualified A-E firms, the award(s) will go to a large A-E firm. The Government intends to negotiate and award these contracts within one year after the required response date to this solicitation. Rates will be negotiated for each 12-month period of the contract at the time of the original award. On each individual contract, the first years rate schedule shall become effective the day of contract award, and shall be in effect for one year from contract award. Subsequent rate schedules shall become effective on the yearly anniversary dates from contract award. Work will be issued by firm fixed price task orders not to exceed the contract amount and will be subject to successful negotiations. The District may award IDIQ contracts in the future or borrow capacity from other federal contracts to perform work that may also be encompassed by this announcement. The contracts will be for requirements within the Continental United States and outside the Continental United States (CONUS and OCONUS). 2. All firms responding to this announcement MUST identify to which category they are submitting. Those most highly qualified small businesses that do not receive an award in the small business solicitation, due to the Brooks Act requirement, will have their SF 330s automatically reviewed with the large business solicitation SF 330 responses. No entity will receive more than two awards as a result of this solicitation, which will only be possible if a large firm is aligned with a small business that received one of the small business awards and the large firm also prevailed for an award among the unrestricted submissions. The top ranked firm in the SF 330 evaluation will be requested to provide a firm fixed price proposal and may be awarded the first contract, if negotiations are completed; the second ranked firm to negotiate may be awarded the second contract, and so on. If necessary, secondary selection criteria will be used as a tie breaker between firms considered as technically equal. a)For successful large business firms, the firm is required to submit a small business participation plan which must be reviewed and approved prior to contract award. The Deputy for Small Business Programs (DSBP) together with the Contracting Officer will ensure that the District complied with PIL 2009-03 by completing the DD Form 2579 which is included in PCF.

Should the Contracting Officer determine that the A-E didnt make a good faith effort in supporting the subcontracting goals, it may be assessed liquidated damages. Incentives such as award fees for achieving/exceeding the small business goals will not be included in the contracts. The DSBP together with the Contracting Officer will review the large business actual subcontracting amounts against the stated goals on a regular basis in eSRS submissions. c)Per FAR 19.702, Any contractor receiving a contract for more than the simplified acquisition threshold must agree in the contract that small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, ad women-owned small business concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance. A small business subcontracting plan is required for large businesses. 3.
