The contractor must possess specialized expertise in cultural resource surveying and be capable of conducting technical analyses to produce a comprehensive final inventory that includes a narrative and graphic chronology of physical history, an integrity assessment, a condition evaluation, treatment recommendations, maps, GIS geodatabases, and supporting documentation adhering to National Park Service standards, including the NPS Cultural Landscapes Inventory Professional Procedures Guide (2025), the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Archeology and Historic Preservation, and the Chicago Manual of Style (18th Edition). All deliverables must comply with Section 508 accessibility requirements, be produced using NAD83 (2011) datum for GIS data, and follow the NPS Core Data Standards model, with final GIS layers requiring explicit approval by NPS GIS staff. The contract is firm-fixed price and requires itemized cost breakdowns for all tasks, including reimbursable travel expenses limited to GSA per diem rates for McCalla, Alabama, with receipts mandatory for airfare, rentals, and miscellaneous costs, and administrative expenses must detail actual hours and costs. Award will be determined based on best value rather than lowest cost, evaluating proposed methods and techniques, contractor qualifications and experience alongside price, with no small business set-aside and no formal weighting system provided. Contractors must maintain an active SAM registration with up-to-date UEI, CAGE, and tax information and affirm representations related to entity responsibility, non-inversion, tax compliance, and small business status.
