NAICS CODE: 541370 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: The proposed services will be obtained by a negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contract(s). It is anticipated that one contract will be selected for the Louisville District and one contract for the Pittsburgh Distric t. These individual contracts will primarily be used to provide services for various military/civil projects associated with programs supporting the Great Lakes and Rivers Division mission boundaries. The total contract value will not exceed $3,000,000 for each contract respectively. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price for task orders not to exceed $1,000,000. The top ranked firm will be awarded the first contract. If necessary, secondary selection criteria (f-g listed below) will be u sed as a tiebreaker 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://www.ccr.gov, or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerc e Information 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 acc ordance with Public Law 95-507 prior to award of the contract. The current subcontracting goals are 51.2% to Small Business, 8.8% to Small Disadvantaged Business, 7.3% to Women-Owned Small Business, 3.1% to HUBZone Small Business, and 1.5% to Service-Disa bled Veteran-Owned 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 me eting to define the Users 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/Es quality control procedures, as the Districts will perform t he quality assurance 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 orthoph otography, 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, hydr ographic surveys, navigation project condition studies 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 n avigation and flood control projects, real estate, and emergency management activitie s for projects within the jurisdiction of the selecting Districts and may be utilized for Division wide projects. The District and Division boundaries are shown at http://www.usace.army.mil/divdistmap.html.
