Description

Architect and Engineering Services Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract(s) request for SF330 due 5/30/2006. The preceding sentence was mistakenly included in the previously relased announcment no. A0900000001 on October 1, 2008. This modification to the announcment deletes it. This announcement is for market research purposes only and is NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS for a solicitation. The Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Denver Service Center, 12795 West Alameda Parkway, Denver, Colorado 80225-0287, is seeking HubZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned and 8(a) certified firms having the capability and interest in performing the work described below. A solicitation is not being issued at this time as the Government is conducting market research to locate interested, qualified contractors. Qualified firms are asked to submit a technical resume in WRITING. The resume should include the relevant work history of the company, listing same or similar experience performed by the company within the last five years and not exceed 10 double sided pages. Your response must be received by 4:00 p.m. MDT October 16, 2008, at the above address or via e-mail to Rebecca_Bizier@nps.gov. The amount of interest will determine the possibility of a set-aside or full and open competition. Response to this notice must be received timely to be considered. NPS is seeking firms with design of flood protection structures and flood repair and restoration design and implementation measures and services capabilities to provide Architect/Engineer (A/E) services under an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract at various National Park Service areas throughout the Pacific West Region (California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and the islands of the outer Pacific.) and Alaska. The Denver Service Center (DSC) has the responsibility for contracting, project management, and coordinating as the contracting officer's representative (COR) for various flood protection and repair planning and design projects developed within the National Park Service (NPS). Provide planning and designs for flood protection of NPS property in and near riverine, fluvial, coastal, and lacustrine environments. These solutions may include state of the art bioengineering solutions or other artificial structures that emulate naturally-occurring stream structures to achieve particular purposes, such as infrastructure protection and fish and/or other sensitive habitat enhancements in dynamic riverine and flood plain landscapes. Solutions may be designed and implemented for temporary, short-term and/or long-term flood protection of national park natural and cultural resources, facilities and infrastructure. These sensitive cultural and natural resource areas may include buildings, infrastructure, roads, and/or trails. Provide expertise with rivers hydrology/hydraulics including river reach analysis; delineation of channel migration zones; design of engineered logjams or other artificial structures that emulate naturally occurring stream structures; bank stabilization strategies; and investigation of sediment erosion, transport, and deposition, and expertise in analyzing riverine, fluvial, coastal, and lacustrine environments. Provide expertise in geotechnical investigations, data collection and reports such as collection and analysis of existing and projected flood data including high water river flows and topographic information typically in the form of cross sections for the valley-bottom flood plains and wetted river channels; Develop modeling for erosive stresses from river flood flows to compare to the design thresholds of existing or previously-proposed flood protection measures as well as to develop proposed flood protection measures. This contract may also involve planning and design services that are developed for other federal agencies such as the NPS, FWS, BLM, and the USFS. EXAMPLES OF PROJECT TYPES/TASKS: Development of flood protection measures for structures, infrastructures, roads, trails and other man-made facilities in sensitive natural and cultural resource areas in national parks; Assessment of the likelihood of success and life cycle cost analysis of proposed and existing flood protection measures based on the need for temporary, short-term or long term protection of natural and man-made resources; Preparation of design solutions and PS&E for restoration, repair and future protection of flood prone natural or man-made resources that are visually and environmentally compatible with natural resources, cultural resources, and man-made facilities. Planning and design efforts at individual or multiple locations and may encompass: Expertise with riverine environments including river reach analysis; delineation of channel migration zones; design of engineered logjams; bank stabilization; and investigation of sediment erosion, transport, and deposition, and expertise in analyzing riverine, fluvial, coastal, and lacustrine environments; Experience in geotechnical investigations, data collection and reports; Collection and analysis of existing and projected flood data including high water river flows and topographic information typically in the form of cross sections for the valley-bottom flood plains and wetted river channels; Development of hydrologic and hydraulic models, for use in developing flood mitigation/protection strategies; Experience in modeling erosive stresses from river flood flows to compare to the design thresholds of existing or proposed flood protection measures as well as to develop new proposed flood protection measures; Development of flood protection concepts and PS&E may include but are not limited to: rock barbs, gabion wood barbs, rock-cored road humps (cross-valley dikes), roadway flood dips, large tree grade controls, and rock/wood cribs, engineered log jams, and wood reinforced flood plains; providing expertise and guidance in: water resource management, natural resource management; environmental permitting and compliance; fresh and salt water wetland restoration plans; riverine, fluvial, coastal, and lacustrine erosion and flood protection plans; planning and design efforts such as: Determination of economic, technical, and environmental feasibility; cost estimates and life-cycle cost analysis of existing and proposed flood protection measures; collection and analyses of data for natural and man-made resource impact issues relating to potential flood events; flood prevention planning studies; Resource flood protection alternatives development; Existing operational and maintenance evaluation and proposed operations and maintenance guidelines for more effective flood protection; Planning and working in multi-jurisdictional, politically sensitive environments; Visitor and traffic safety evaluations and assessments related to flood events; Participation in community/stakeholder workshops, open houses or planning efforts and; Assistance in the preparation of environmental compliance analysis and documents, including EAs and EISs; Preparation of context sensitive, environmentally sustainable planning and PS&E ; Facilitating and preparing value engineering studies and/or Value Analysis/Choosing by Advantages (VA/CBA) studies to evaluate proposed design solutions. PROFESSIONAL DISCIPLINES required to be on the team of the A/E or qualifying subcontractors thereof: Geotechnical and Hydrological Engineers, Geologists, Biologists, Ecologists, Wetland Specialists, Economists, Engineers, Risk Assessors, Project Managers, Landscape Architects, Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers and Planners, Cost Estimators, and other related disciplines. ADDITIONAL WORK: This contract may require design and specification preparation to be performed or approved by a licensed/registered professional in the state or territory of the work location. All work performed by the A/E shall be under the direction of a professional engineer and other registered professionals as required. The proposed work may extend over several fiscal years, involving projects at various stages, which will require that the selected firm(s) must be capable of providing and managing a multi-disciplinary team from within the firm or in conjunction with sub-consultants.
