Instruction Memorandum: No. NV-2009-034
Expires: 09/30/2010
To: BLM Employees, Nevada
From: Ron Wenker State Director, Nevada
Subject: Data and Technical Baseline for Contract Statements of Work
Program Area: All Programs
Purpose: To provide baseline requirements to improve contract project administration, data management and technical requirements for BLM contract statements of work.
Background: Requirements for contract project administration, data management, and expected deliverables in statements of work for BLM Nevada projects are inconsistently communicated to contractors. This can result in unclear expectations and assumptions leading to confusing interpretations, extended deadlines, and additional costs to complete the project objective.
Policy/Action: This document provides detailed and specific requirements for contractors to follow for contract project administration including: communication, data and GIS administration, deliverables, ePlanning, and other technical information. The Data and Technical Baseline for Contract Statements of Work document (attachment 1) will facilitate incorporating BLM Nevada’s initiatives toward improved data quality, GIS Integration, and interdisciplinary communication, into the administration of project contracts. The content of the document is intended to be used as ‘boilerplate’ verbiage for contract statements of work with the expectation that it will be modified to include the specific requirements for each project.
Timeframe: Effective Immediately.
Budget Impact: None
Manual/Handbook Sections Affected: None
Coordination: Nevada State Office, Districts, and Field Offices.
