A specific scope of work and services required will be issued with each task order. The end result of these studies/projects can be, primarily: Designs for construction projects; secondarily: Data collection to use for a design that will be performed in-house or by other A-E Contractors, data collection and design of one basic and five alternative designs for feasibility studies. This work will include all architectural-engineering (A-E) and related services necessary to complete the design, includin g A-E services during the construction phase and the operati ons and control phase.

All interested Architect-Engineer firms are reminded that in accordance with the provisions of FAR sections 19.7, 52.219-8, 52.219-9 or equivalent DFARS Sections, they will be expected to place subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent consistent with the efficient performance of the contract with small and small disadvantaged businesses. If a large business is selected, it must comply with FAR 52-219.9 regar ding the requirement to subcontract. The recommended goal for the work intended to be subcontracted is 50.9% for small business. Out of the 50.9% to small business, 8.8% is for small disadvantaged business (subset to small business), 7.2% is for small bu siness/woman owned (subset to small business), 2.9 for HUBZone small business (subset to small business) and .05% is for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small business (subset to small business). The large business firm selected for this contract will be r equired to submit a detailed subcontracting plan at a later date. If the selected firm submits a plan with less than the Corps recommended goals, it must subm it, in writing, an acceptable rationale why the recommended goals cannot be met, which rationale indicates that at the time the selected firm submitted its SF330 there was genuine belief that the goals would be virtually met and planning proceeded accordin gly. The Corps will negotiate the goals if it deems appropriate, and will vacate the selection if it deems the firm was disingenuous in representing itself as committed to high small business subcontracting goals at the outset. A detailed plan is not req uired to be submitted with the SF 330; however, the plans to do so should be specified in Block H of the SF 330. To be eligible for contract award a firm or joint venture must be registered in the DoD Central Contractor Registration (CCR).
