Description: NA Architect-Engineer Services for Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Contract(s) for Survey and Mapping Services Within the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division Mission Boundaries, Louisville and Pittsburgh Districts. NAICS CODE: 541360 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: The proposed services will be obtained by a negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contract(s). It is anticipated that initially one contract will be selected for the Louisville District and one contract for the Pittsburgh District. A third contract may also be awarded within one year from responses to this request. That award would be at the discretion of the government. These individual contracts may be used to provide services for various Civil/military projects associated with programs supporting the Great Lakes and Rivers Division mission boundaries. The total contract value will not exceed $3,000,000. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price or labor-hour task orders not to exceed $1,000,000. If multiple contracts are avail able for a District, the contracting officer will consider the following factors in deciding which contractor will be selected to negotiate an order: performance and quality of deliverables under the current contract, current capacity to accomplish the ord er in the required time, uniquely specialized experience, and equitable distribution of work among contractors. The top ranked firm will be awarded the first contract. If necessary, secondary selection criteria (f-h listed below) will be used as a tiebreak er among technically equal firms. To be eligible for award, a firm must be registered in the DoD Central Contractor Registration (CCR) Registrar via the CCR Internet site at: http://ccr.edi.disa.mil, or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerce Informatio n Center at 1-800-334-3414. This announcement is open to all businesses, regardless of size. If a large business is selected to negotiate a contract, the firm will be required to present an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with Public Law 95-507 prior to award of the contract. The current subcontracting goals are 57.2% to Small Business, 8.9% to Small Disadvantaged Business, 8.1% to Women-Owned Small Business, 3.0% to HUBZone Small Business, and 3.0% to Service-Disabled Veteran-O wned Small Business. These percentages are applied to the total amount of subcontracted dollars. Some projects may require partnering with the selected firm which could require the selected A/E to attend an approximate one-day partnering meeting to defin e the User's expectations of the A/E, create a positive working atmosphere, encourage open communication, and identify common goals. Significant emphasis will be placed on the A/E's quality control procedures, as the Districts will perform the quality ass urance role only for each contract. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The project consists of photogrammetric mapping services including aerial photography, analytical aerotriangulation, stereo mapping compilation/topographic mapping, digital orthophotography, horizontal and vertical control surveys, structural deformation studies; land use/land cover interpretation may be required. The project will also include route location surveys, quantity surveys, land surveys, construction layout surveys, hydrographic surveys, navigation project condition studi es and geodetic surveys. Real property surveys of Government-owned land tracts or easements at levees, reservoirs, or dredge disposal areas may be required to establish or re-establish corners, monuments and boundary lines, or for the purpose of describing fixed improvements, or platting or dividing parcels. These services will be used as necessary to support engineering studies to include design and construction, planning, operation and maintenance of navigation and flood control projects, real estate, an d emergency management activities for projects within the jurisdiction of the selecting Districts and may be utilized for Division wide p rojects. The District and division boundaries are shown at http://www.usace.army.mil/where.html#State. All mileage computed in regard to a particular work order will be addressed in the scope of work. Surveys require personnel and equipment necessary to o btain surveys of second and third order accuracy (NGS standards).
