- 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: Architect and engineering services, procured in accordance with PL 92-582 (Brooks AE Act) and FAR Part 36, are required to support planning, design and environmental compliance within or assigned to the Kansas City District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The contract will involve the preparation of various civil works planning and design documents, environmental documents, studies, and specifications for various civil works projects, and secondarily, may also be utilized to s upport planning and design at military installations. Up to three indefinite delivery contracts will be negotiated and awarded, each with a total contract period not to exceed three years. The contracts may consist of a base period not to exceed one year, with a maximum of two one-year option periods. Alternatively, the contracts may consist of one three-year contract period. The total amount of work will not exceed $3,000,000 per contract. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price task orders. The contracts may include task orders with options for planning, engineering and design, checking of shop drawings and design during construction. Award of the first contract is anticipated in fourth quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2004 or first quarter of F Y 2005. The method used to allocate task orders among contracts will include consideration of experience and user needs, capacity to accomplish the order in the required timeframe, performance and quality of deliverables, and proximity of the firm to the project. Funds are not presently available for the contracts. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for these contracts, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for the Kansas City District are: (1) at least 57.2% of a contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged businesses (SDB) and women-owned small businesses (WOSB); (2) a t least 10% of a contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with SDB; (3) at least 10% of a contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with WOSB; and (4) 3% placed with HUBZone small businesses, and 3% placed with service Disabled Veteran O wned Small Businesses. The plan is not required with this submittal. The small business standard for this effort is based on the average annual receipts of the concern and its affiliates for the preceding three (3) fiscal years. A business is small for t his effort if its average annual receipts do not exceed $4 million. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under these contracts must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contra ct Act, as determined relative to the employee's office location (not the location of the work). To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at www.ccr. gov or by contacting the DOD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. Task orders may be assigned for any work within the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District, Northwestern Division, or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Continental United States (CONUS), but the selection will be based on criteria within the Kansas City District, Northwestern Division. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION. Projects may include the preparation of civil works project justification reports, water resources and related planning studies, engineering design of plans and specifications for construction, documents associated with engineerin g during construction, environmental compliance documents, and independent technical review. Projects will include planning or design documents for an array of purposes, either singly or combined, including flood dam age reduction, river/stream bank stabilization, river and stream hydraulics, environmental ecosystem restoration, wetland design and restoration, water supply and distribution planning and design, environmental compliance, cultural resources, employment of geographic information systems (GIS), water resources planning, public involvement, dam safety analyses and design, socioeconomic analyses, value engineering, and engineering and design disciplines required for the various project purposes. Projects may also require in some cases hazardous, toxic, and radiological waste (HTRW) evaluation work. The contracts issued under this requirement will include continuing funding clauses required for civil works programs. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-e are primary. Criteria f-h are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers among technically equal firms. a. Specialized experience and technical competence in: (1) Planning and design experience in flood damage reduction, levee, floodwall, and channel modification projects; (2) River, channel, and stream hydraulics - hydraulic studies of open channel flow, including steady and unsteady state conditions, using HEC and other industry accepted software (3) Planning and design of stream bank stabilization projects (4) Corps of Engineers flood damage reduction, reconnaissance, feasibility, and design phase documents (5) Environmental ecosystem restoration including wetland restoration planning and design, stream and river riparian and aquatic restoration planning and design, (6) Corps reconnaissance, feasibility, and design phase documents for ecosystem restoration and multipurpose projects (7) Hydrologic studies including rainfall runoff analysis and reservoir yield computations, using HEC and other industry standard software (8) Geotechnical, structural, civil, and other engineering applications for planning and design projects in flood damage reduction and streambank bank stabilization (9) Geotechnical, civil, and other engineering applications for planning and design of ecosystem restoration projects including wetland restoration and riparian restoration (10) Socioeconomic analysis and incremental economic analysis including HEC-FDA and other accepted computational economic analysis tools, including risk and uncertainty statistical analysis used for evaluating feasibility, reliability and performance of c ivil works projects (11) Risk and uncertainty statistical analysis applications in engineering for use in evaluating engineering reliability and performance for civil works projects (12) Preparation of NEPA documents including Section 404 and Section 401 permit documents, environmental and cultural resource surveys and evaluation reports.
