The contract will involve the preparation of various civil works planning and design documents, environmental documents, studies, and specifications for various civil works projects, and secondarily, may also be utilized to support planning and design at military installations. Up to three indefinite delivery contracts will be negotiated and awarded, each with a total contract period not to exceed three years. The contract(s) will consist of one five-year contract period. The contract(s) will not exceed a total amount of $12,000,000 per contract. Contract(s) will be structured so as to have a base award contract capacity of $6,000.000, with two follow-on options of $3 million in capacity each. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price task orders. The contracts may include task orders with options for planni ng, engineering and design, checking of shop drawings and design during construction. Award of the first contract is anticipated in second quarter of FY 2008. The method used to allocate task orders among contracts will include consideration of experienc e and user needs, capacity to accomplish the order in the required timeframe, performance and quality of deliverables, and proximity of the firm to the project. Funds are not presently available for the contracts. This announcement is open to all b usinesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for these contracts, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for the K ansas City District are: (1) at least 51.2% of a contractors intended subcontract amount be placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged businesses (SDB) and women-owned small businesses (WOSB); (2) at least 8.8% of a contractors in tended subcontract amount be placed with SDB; (3) at least 7.3% of a contractors intended subcontract amount be placed with WOSB; and (4) 3.1% placed with HUBZone small businesses, and 1.5% placed with service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses. The plan is not required with this submittal. The small business standard for this effort is based on the average annual receipts of the concern and its affiliates for the preceding three (3) fiscal years. A business is small for this effort if its average a nnual receipts do not exceed $4 million. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under these contracts must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act, as determined relat ive to the employees office location (not the location of the work). To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at www.ccr.gov or by contacting the DO D Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. Task orders may be assigned for any work within the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District, Northwestern Division, or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Continental United States (CO NUS), but the selection will be based on criteria within the Kansas City District, Northwestern Division. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION. Projects may include the preparation of civil works project justification reports, water resources and related planni ng studies, engineering design of plans and specifications for construction, documents associated with engineering during construction, environmental compliance documents, and independent technical review. Projects will include planning or design documents for an array of purposes, either singly or combined, including flood damage reduction, river/stream bank stabilization, river and stream hydraulics, environme ntal ecosystem restoration, wetland design and restoration, water supply and distribution planning and design, environmental compliance, cultural resources, employment of geographic information systems (GIS), water resources planning, public involvement, d am safety analyses and design, socioeconomic analyses, value engineering, and engineering and design disciplines required for the various project purposes. Projects may also require in some cases hazardous, toxic, and radiological waste (HTRW) evaluation work. The contracts issued under this requirement will include continuing funding clauses required for civil works programs. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterio n and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-f are primary.
