The guaranteed minimum task order shall be $15,000 for the basic period only. There shall be no guaranteed minimum for the option periods, if exercised. Task orders could include performance of any part or all operations necessary to perform engineering surveys and engineering designs for various flood prevention and water resources projects within Texas. Surveys required may consist of but are not limited to any part or all of the following activities: topographic / planimetric surveys, magnetometer surveys, hydrographic/ bathymetric surveys, horizontal and vertical control surveys, design surveys, development of graphical representations of survey data collected, construction layout surveys, and surveys for quantity computations. Design activities required may consist of but are not limited to any part or all of the following activities: design water resources project features, prepare construction specifications, prepare construction plans (drawings), prepare landrights work maps, prepare cost estimates, prepare bid schedules, quantity computation checks and certifications, and prepare design folders. The typical project could require knowledge and experience in all aspects of surveying, engineering design and quality assurance activities associated with the design and construction of deep and shallow foundations (bearing capacity, consolidation, seepage, etc.), earth embankments, roller compacted concrete structures, earthwork, reinforced concrete structures, automated and manual water control gates, rock riprap placement, timber structures, steel structures and structural fabrication, timber, steel and concrete piling, sheet piling and channel bank stabilization measures. The firm will be required to perform engineering surveys and engineering design activities in accordance with NRCS standards and certify that all surveys and designs meet NRCS standards. The firm will be required to interpret geotechnical reports and accurately apply the data to the design of the project measures. The majority of design work will be civil. All drawings will be computer generated in *.dwg format. Electronic copies and original hard copies are to be furnished to NRCS.
