- Description
- NA This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The services will include all leve ls of hydrology and hydraulic engineering for basin and project planning studies, flood plain analysis, dam safety analysis and multi-purpose storage operations. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541330 with a size standard of $4,000,000. This procurement is 100% set aside for acquisition by small business concerns. Proposed procurement will result in a one-year, fixed price indefinite delivery contract with option to extend for two additional years. Total contract amoun t shall not exceed $500,000 per year with a cumulative contract total not to exceed $1,500,000. The estimated award date of the contract will be May 2003. To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the DoD Central Contractor Registra tion (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at http://www.ccr.gov or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-888-227-2423. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Specific types of work may include, but are not limited to studies to determ ine the amount and effect of sediment deposition in reservoirs; sedimentation process analysis of natural and improved channels; hydraulic design studies for fish passage facilities, spillways, outlets, hydroelectric power facilities, canals, navigation lo cks and high-and-low velocity channels. Physical model studies of hydraulic features in dams, reservoirs, and river channels; Hydraulic studies to design and evaluate river channel restoration options; Numerical hydraulic model studies for flood plain stu dies and project design studies. Numerical modeling may require steady-, unsteady-, two dimensional, fixed bed, and movable bed hydraulic analysis; Preparation of plans of study and analysis for complex hydraulic/hydro logic studies including data collect ion, terrain modeling and flood plain mapping; Preparation of high-and-low flow frequency curves for instantaneous and stream flow volumetric values for pre-and post-project analysis; Analysis of floods to develop unit hydrograph relationships, precipitati on data, infiltration indices, and flood routing relationships; Hydrologic flood routing and rainfall runoff investigations; Development of hypothetical hydrographs at gauged and ungauged areas for use in flood plain studies and project design. Developmen t of design. Development of design floods (e.g., Project Design, Standard Project, and Spillway Design); Analysis of interior runoff behind levees and flood control structures in relationship to river flow and stage to assess pumping and ponding requireme nts to alleviate interior flooding; Determination of reservoir storage capacities for multipurpose projects which might include any or all of the following: flood control, navigation, low-flow augmentation, water supply, hydropower, and recreation; Develo pment of water control manuals, O&M manuals, and other technical reports based upon Government and/or data developed by the contractor including text, drawing, plates, charts, tables and other graphics. The firm should have experience with computer progra ms and/or systems used in hydraulic and hydrologic analysis. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria for this particular project are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-f are primary. Criteria g-h are secondary and will only be used as ?tie-breakers? among firms that are essentially technically equal. a. Specialized experience and technical competence in (1) Hydrology and Hydraulic fields (2) investigations requirin g state-of-the-art methodology in the areas of structural and fluvial hydraulics, (3) sedimentation analysis, (4) historical and hypothetical rainfall and snow melt flood simulation, (4) multipurpose water resource project scooping, and (5) hydraulic development. b. Professional qualifications. Professional registered civil engineers with 5 to 10 years of practical work experience in application of hydraul ic and hydrologic engineering principles and supporting disciplines. (In block 4 of form 255 Personnel by Discipline, show entire proposed team by listing personnel employed by the prime in blanks provided, and personnel from consultants in parenthesis). c. Past Experience. Demonstrate that a significant portion of experience in areas of hydrologic and hydraulic engineering was derived from studies, analyses, and design on rivers and streams with emphasis on Pacific Northwest regions. d. Familiarity and experience with computer applications commonly used for hydraulic and hydrologic engineering analysis. e. Past performance on contracts with government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with perf ormance schedules, as determined from ACASS and other sources. f. Capacity of the firm to complete the work in the required time. g. Location of the firm in the general geographic area of the project, provided there is an adequate number of qualified firms therein for consideration. h. Volume of DoD A-E contract awards in the last 12 months, with the objective of effecting an equitable distribution of DoD A-E contracts among qualified firms, including SB and SBD. A-E will be required to use M-CACES for cost estimating on this project. The software will be furnished by the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers after contract award. Responding firms should indicate ability to access an electronic bulletin board and automated review management system (ARMS) v ia modem. 4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS. Interested firms having the capabilities to perform this work must submit one copy of SF 255 (11/92 edition) and one copy of SF 254 (11/92 edition) for the prime firm and all consultants to the above address not lat er than the response date indicated above. Include the firm?s ACASS number in SF255, Block 3b. For ACASS information, call (503) 808-4591. Submittals should be mailed to the following address: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, Attn: Bonn ie Lackey, P.O. Box 3755, Seattle, WA 98124-3755.
