CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks AE Act (PL 92-582) as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. The services will consist of Civil (Coastal) Engineering for Civil Works Projects along the shorelines of the United States and Mexico, with geographic predominance placed on the California coastline. The majority of the work and services will be for civil works projects. However, there may be a smaller portion of the work and services for military and support for others projects. This solicitation is 100% Small Business set-aside. Only Small Business will be considered for award. There will be two (2) indefinite delivery contracts awarded for Architect-Engineer (A-E) services. Each contract is for a sixty (60) month period or until the not-to-exceed amount of $5,000,000.00 has been met, whichever occurs first. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed price task orders. The estimated contract start date is November 2009 for a period of sixty (60) months (through October 2014). Work is subject to availability of funds. Estimated construction cost is not applicable. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this action is 541330 under Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, and the small business size standard is determined as $4.5 M average annual gross revenue for the last three (3) fiscal years. 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 relative to the employees office location (not the location of the work). 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The work and services shall consist of planning and formulating reconnaissance and feasibility studies. Typical studies encompass navigation, waves and hurricane shore protection, fish and wildlife habitat protection and enhancement, coastal flood plain management, and a multitude of other complex coastal resources study and engineering activities. Services required include project management, the ability to provide map data and conduct numerical analyses through coastal/hydrology/hydraulic computer modeling with visualization output to GIS ArcView coverages, and the ability to acquire oceanographic field data, such as vibratory core sediment sampling, grab sediment sampling and rotary wash sediment coring, side-scan sonar bathymetry, beach profiles, magnetometer, and sediment profile images. 3. SELECTION INFORMATION: The selected firm shall have the capability of accomplishing a minimum of 50% of the total required work. The selected firm for this contract will be expected to submit a quality control/quality assurance plan and to adhere to it during the work and services required under the contract.

The DQCPs must be prepared and approved by the Government as a condition of contract award, but are not required with this submission. Firms responding to this announcement before the closing date will be considered for selection, subject to any limitations indicated with respect to size and geographic location or firm, specialized technical expertise or other requirements listed. Following initial evaluation of the qualifications and performance data submitted, three or more firms that are considered to be the most highly qualified to provide the type of services required, will be chosen for negotiations. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria (a) through (e) are primary. Criteria (f) and (h) are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers among technically equal firms. a. Professional Qualifications: Qualified personnel with recent knowledge and experience in (1) Coastal planning and engineering; (2) Economics; (3) Geology; (4) Environmental impact analysis; (5) Marine biology. b. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence in: (1)Plan formulation; (2) Ocean environmental studies; (3) Coastal engineering; (4) Numerical modeling capabilities; (5) Coastal field data collection, processing and analyzing: topographic and bathymetric data, subaqueous sediment samples and other subsurface data, water column samples, and wave and current data;(6) Economic analysis of navigation and storm damage protection; (7) CADD, Digital Terrain Mapping, GIS ArcInfo mapping, engineering drawings; (8) Simulation of Coastal-Hydraulics processes multi-dimensional models with output linked to ArcInfo/ArcView; (9) Environmental assessments and environmental impact statements (including experience with NEPA requirements, habitat evaluation measures, and design of mitigation measures); (10) Preparation of preliminary and final project cost estimates;(11) Preparation of reconnaissance and feasibility study reports. c. Capacity to perform two $250,000.00 task orders in a ninety (90) day period. This evaluation will consider the experience of the firm and any consultants in similar size projects and the availability of an adequate number of personnel in key disciplines. d. Past performance on DOD contracts and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. e. Knowledge of the locality such as geological features, climatic conditions, local material resources, and local construction methods. f. Geographic proximity (physical location) of the firm to the predominant geographic location of the project(s). g. Volume of DOD contract awards in the last 12 months. 4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Interested AE firms having the capabilities for this work are invited to submit one (1) completed Standard Form 330, dated 6/2004, Architect Engineer Qualifications Parts I and II and one (1) SF330 Part II for each firm that will be part of the team, to the above address not later than 4:00 pm on the response date indicated within the synopsis.
