Description

1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: The proposed contract will be procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required w ork. This procurement will be conducted under FSC Code: C219; SIC Code: 8711; NAICS Code: 541330. The size standard for this code is $4,500,000.00. To be considered a Small Business under this NAICS Code, the respondents average revenue for the last th ree fiscal years cannot be more than $4,500,000.00; if the average revenue for the last three fiscal years is over $4,500,000.00, the respondent is a Large Business. This announcement is open to all firms regardless of size. One contract will be negotiat ed and will be awarded within one year after the required response date to this announcement. The total contract amount will not exceed $ 3 million for a duration not to exceed three years. All interested Architect-Engineers are reminded that in accordan ce 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 this contract, with small and small dis advantaged business. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under these contracts must be a least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act, as determined relative to the employees office location (not the location of the work). If a large business is selected for this contract, it will be required to submit a detailed subcontracting plan at a later date. A detailed plan is not required to be submitted with the SF 330, however, the plans to do so should be specified in block H of the SF 330. Sacramento Districts recommended goal for work intended to be subcontracted is 51.2% for small business. The goal further states that of the 51.2% to be subcontracted to small business, 8.8% is for small disadvantaged business (subset to small business), 7.3% is for small business/woman owned (subset to small business), 3.1% for HUBZone small business (subset to small business) and 1.5% is for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small business (sub set to small business). If the selected firm submits a plan with lesser goals, it must submit written rationale of why the above goals are not met. Firms should indicate personnel and subcontractors selected to work on the contract and state their manage ment structure. To be eligible for contract award a firm or joint venture must be registered in the DoD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the Internet Site at http://www.bpn.gov/CCRINQ or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerce Inform ation Center at 1-800-334-3414 and complete electronic annual representations and certifications at http://orca.bpn.gov. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The A-E services are for hydraulic designs and analyses, hydrologic analysis, river engineering, floodplain analyses, sediment engineering, and fluvial geomorphology, as applicable Corps of Engineers Civil Works Projects. These d esigns, analyses, and services are required within the Sacramento and San Joaquin River drainage basins and at other locations within the South Pacific Division civil works boundaries, or with any South Pacific Division customers, as determined by the Cont racting Officer. Capabilities in other disciplines, such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS), groundwater studies, Computer Aided Drafting Design (CADD), topographic and hydrographic survey, and MCACES Cost Engineering are also important elements of the proposed contract. Project support efforts including site reconnaissance, environmental and wetland assessments, wildlife and habitat assessments, and historical assessments in accordance with NEPA and SHPO are included as potential project requireme nts. Task orders under this contrac t may include hydraulic design support for the design of small single purpose dams to large multipurpose dams, hydraulic design associated with rivers, creeks, and flood control levees and channels; hydraulic design and analysis of structures, rivers, and creeks for any purpose including pipelines, sediment yield, sediment transport for rivers, flood control channels, alluvial fans, fluvial geomorphology studies; groundwater studies; analysis of channel and wetland restoration, bio-technical channel stabili zation, and floodplain analyses. Contract requirements will also include hydrologic studies, computer aided design, GIS, hydraulic, or hydrographic field data. The contractor shall be responsible for designs and drawings using computer aided design and d rafting (CADD). Work may be performed in an AutoCAD or MicroStation environment, although the majority of work shall be prepared in the MicroStation environment. GIS work may be field, desktop or Internet based. All final text files generated under this task order shall be furnished to the Sacramento District in Adobe Acrobat (PDF), with a working copy in Microsoft Office MS Word. Drawing files and as-built drawings shall be submitted in AutoCAD or MicroStation, in the same environment as designed, in a ccordance with https://tsc.wes.army.mil/products/standards/aeguide/index.asp, per AE Deliverable Guidelines at https://tsc.wes.army.mil/products/standards/aeguide/aecadd.asp. The target platform is a Pentium 3.0 GHz, 512 MB Ram and 40 GH Hard Drive with Windows XP Professional operating system. Drawings files produced by scanning documents or records or containing photographic images shall be delivered in PDF or Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) CCITT Group 4 raster format, as directed. The specifications will be produced in SpecsIntact and delivered in PDF electronic digital files. Additionally, the contractor shall have the ability to deliver two or thr ee-dimensional drawings in the AutoCAD software released 2004, or in MicroStation V8.5. The Government will only accept final documents found to be fully operational without conversion or reformatting. Responding firms must show computer and Internet cap ability for accessing the Criteria Bulletin Board System (CBBS) http://cbbs.spk.usace.army.mil/index.html and the Design Review and Checking System (DrChecks) https://www.projnet.org. Estimates shall be prepared using Corps of Engineers Computer Aided Cos t Estimating system (MCACES Second Generation MII)(software provided by Government) software; however training to use this software and the current pending Cost Book library will require purchasing by the Contractor. 3.
