Description

The purpose of this modification is to replace the old Section 2 (Project Information) and Section 3 (Selection Criteria) with the new Sections 2 and 3 below. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: This contract will provide architect and engineering services primarily for planning services efforts, including flood damage reduction, navigation, shoreline stabilization and erosion control, coastal processes, environmental restoration studies, and econ omic analysis, which will analyze water resources problems and opportunities throughout the region. This work will be primarily within the New York District boundaries and other Corps of Engineers locations within the NAD/MSC boundaries. This contract wi ll provide integrated architect and engineering services, including, but not limited to, the actual surveying and the interpretation and integration of typographic/bathymetric surveys, biological and cultural resources surveys, GIS data, hydraulic/hydrolog ic engineering, hydrodynamic modeling, geotechnical engineering, cost estimating, and incremental cost analyses into feasibility reports and related National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents. Other tasks may include civil design/structural engine ering (especially as related to design of habitat); geotechnical work; study of estuarine ecology; ecosystem restoration design; habitat evaluation; and environmental analysis and assessments as related and required for all phases of alternatives evaluatio n, project design and implementation, plan formulation, economic analyses, and report preparation. The contract will also provide for the preparation of a variety of reports and feasibility level NEPA documents, including either an Environmental Assessmen t or Environmental Impact Statement, that integrate HTRW assessments and both chemical and physical soil borings and sediment testing. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria for this particular project are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria A through E, inclusive, are primary. Criteria F and G are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers among firms that are essentially technically equal. Primary Selection Criteria: A.
