Not providing sufficient information for the Government to ascertain what you really bring to the table 16 BUILDING STRONG® Competitive Procurements Let’s focus on the Technical Submission This is the most subjective of all the submission volumes This is where you are “selling your capabilities” for the solicited project 17 BUILDING STRONG® Competitive Procurements What is key? When responding focus on two (2) simple questions . What? . How? 18 BUILDING STRONG® Competitive Procurements WHAT? WHAT have you done? This pertains to past performance. Make sure you explain WHAT makes your submitted past performance relevant to the solicited project. 19 BUILDING STRONG® Competitive Procurements WHAT? (con’t) WHAT will you do? This pertains to technical/management approach. Make sure you explain WHAT you are going to do to make this a successful project. Remain focused on the solicited project Do not talk in generalities 20 BUILDING STRONG® Competitive Procurements HOW? HOW will you do what you’ve committed to? HOW adds credence to what you are going to do. It demonstrates you’ve thought about implementation of your technical commitments. If you don’t have a plan on HOW to make it happen, the “what” becomes irrelevant. Remain focused on the solicited project Tie your discussion specifically back to what you are going to do Do not generalize 21 BUILDING STRONG® Gateway to work with Baltimore District Our District Website: http://www.nab.usace.army.mil Current Contracting Opportunities and recently awarded contracts: www.fbo.gov NAB FY 15 Forecast of Contracting Opportunities (FCO): http://www.nab.usace.army.mil/Portals/63/docs/SmallBusiness/FY%202014%20Forecast%20of%20Contracting%20Opportunities% 20(as%20of%2015%20July).pdf BUILDING STRONG® Questions? 23 BUILDING STRONG® Points of Contact for Outreach to Your Organization Deputy for Small Business ► Tamika Gray • E-mail: [email protected] • Telephone: 410-962-2587 Military Program Manager ► Frank Benvenga • E-mail: [email protected] • Telephone: 410-962-6785 Civil Works Program Manager ► Chris Nolta • E-mail: [email protected] • Telephone: 410-962-3385 Environmental Program Manager ► Michael Rogers • E-mail: Michael.

The GWMP encompasses some 7,428 acres in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. For reasons that will later be explained, a small part of this acreage is not administered by its superintendent, and a greater amount of land formerly within GWMP now lies within another national park unit. Some of the GWMP acreage the superintendent administers is commonly known by other names, like Great Falls Park in Virginia and Glen Echo Park in Maryland. While most national park units may be characterized as predominantly natural, historical, or recreational, GWMP comprises such a diverse array of natural, historic, and recreational resources that it defies any such categorization. Further complicating matters, GWMP's superintendent also administers four other areas classed as discrete national park units-Arlington House, The Robert E.

In 1791, Pierre L’Enfant laid out the District of Columbia between the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers with 17 park reservations, open space for memorials, civic art, institutions, and broad park-like streets and avenues creating a network of green space. This network was expanded in the late 1800s with the designation of Potomac Park, Rock Creek Park and Anacostia Park.

Present Owner: National Capital Region, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior Present Occupant: Various park units in the National Capital Region Present Use: Park and recreational facilities Significance: The Civilian Conservation Corps activities in the National Capital Region of the National Park Service illustrate the important role of this program in employing out-of-work youth to create a national recreation infrastructure during the 1930s. The National Capital Region work represents a mix of rural and urban projects indicative of CCC initiatives in metropolitan areas. While not as well-known as the rustic architecture built by the CCC for national parks in wilderness areas, the Washington-area CCC camps participated in many types of construction and tasks including parkways, picnic groves, erosion control, playgrounds, athletic fields, historical restorations, and Recreational Demonstration Area camping facilities. Many of these projects formed the basis for later expansion of recreational amenities in the National Capital Region. Historians: Lisa Pfueller Davidson (overview narrative), James A. Jacobs (inventory methodology) Project Information: This overview history and a detailed site inventory were undertaken by the Historic American Buildings Survey program of the National Park Service (NPS), Paul Dolinsky, Chief (HABS) and John A.
