This synopsis will result in the award of up to six (6), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts. This synopsis requests services for inspection, structural engineering and design services for waterfront facilities at Navy and DoD installations worldwide. Projects under this contract shall be awarded on individual Task Orders. The work includes, but is not limited to, field investigations, underwater inspections; engineering analysis of existing conditions in comparison to design requirements, previous inspection reports and/or drawings of the facilities; review of construction plans and specifications of structural engineering features and related work associated with waterfront construction and repair; engineering calculations for structural analysis with or without previous design calculations; waterfront engineering feasibility studies; design of waterfront repairs, including plans and specifications; design of underwater instrument and cable arrays, associated power and data cable installation and termination, including fiber optic elements; design of underwater instrument support structures and assemblies; design of termination junction boxes and support structures; design of underwater cable installation using horizontal direction drilling technology, including the establishment of directional drilling monitoring and response criteria to minimize environmental effects of directional drilling; documentation of findings and report preparation; cost estimation for waterfront facility rehabilitation. Projects under this contract shall be awarded on individual task orders. The types of submittals may include inspection reports, engineering alternatives and basis of repair/design reports, calculations, plans and specifications, cost estimates, and technical review comments. Additional products and services may include construction contract drawings using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), per the A/E/C CADD Standard (see https://tsc.wes.army.mil/products), and specifications produced in SPECSINTACT with Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) using the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS); contract bid analyses; post construction award services (PCAS); Title II inspection services; engineering report review; database design, construction and population; procedures and guidelines reports; engineering calculations; static and dynamic structural analyses using finite element computer modeling; two and three-dimensional structure modeling and rendering.; seismic vulnerability assessments, including use of finite element models and time history acceleration data for linear and/or nonlinear analyses of critical elements and development of retrofit schemes.

A waterfront facility is defined as any structure located on the waterfront, in connection with, or potentially in contact with, water or the marine environment. This would include inland structures that require underwater investigations. Waterfront facilities include, but are not limited to, piers, wharves, bulkheads, quaywalls, offshore towers, dams, water control structures, instrument support structures, dry docks, moorings, underwater cables, or any similar structure. All waterfront facility assessments, including underwater inspections will be performed under direct control and supervision of registered professional engineer-divers. For each underwater assessment, one registered professional engineer-diver shall be appointed as the engineer-in-charge (EIC). That EIC shall dive at least 50% of the time, supervise the writing of the detailed inspection report, and write at least 50% of the detailed inspection reports. The other engineers on-site may write the balance of the inspection report. The EIC shall ensure that all diving operations are performed in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers EM 385-1-1 (November 2003) standards. US citizenship for all on-site personnel is required for access to Government sites. at least fourAfter the award of the basic contracts, a fair opportunity will be provided for each awarded firm to compete for individual Task Orders.

The maximum amount of the contract is $5,000,000.00 or five (5) years depending on which limitthreshold is reached first. If the dollar capacity of the previous year has not been utilized, this capacity may be added to the following year option (if exercised). The minimum guarantee is $10,000 for the entire contract term (including option years).initial Task Order. The options may be exercised within the time frame specified in the contract at the sole discretion of the Government. Multiple Task Orders may be awarded with similar delivery schedules requiring the selected firm to provide services with overlapping work/delivery dates. The entire contract period will not exceed 5 years for ordering purposes The following evaluation criteria will be used to select up to six (6) firms under this synopsis. Evaluation Factors (1) and (2) are of equal importance, and factors (3) through (6) are listed below in descending order of importance.
