CONTRACT INFORMATION: Architectural Engineering (A-E) services are required to provide the full spectrum of designs and drawings using Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) for Surveying and Photogrammetric and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services for Military Installations and Civil locations for the use of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within the South Pacific Division (SPD) boundaries. This procurement is a partial small business set-aside, which means it is open to small and large business concerns. This procurement will award two (2) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs) simultaneously. One (1) will be set-aside for small business concerns and one (1) will be unrestricted. These contracts are being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. This procurement will be conducted under FSC Code C219; SIC Code 8713; and North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) is 541370. The size standard for this code is $4.5 million. To be considered a Small Business under this NAICS Code, the respondents average revenue for the last three fiscal years cannot be more than $4.5 million. The contract will encompass the South Pacific Division geographical area which includes the boundaries of CA, AZ, NM, NV, and UT while civil boundaries include CA, OR, NV, UT, AZ, WY, NM and CO. This work will include all A-E necessary to complete specific scopes of work and services as required, which will be issued with each task order. Two (2) firms; (1) Large Business & (1) Small Business Concerns will be selected for award based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The contract will be for a maximum of five (5) years; a one (1) year base period from the date of award and will contain options to extend four (4) additional one (1) year periods.

The options may be exercised at the discretion of the Government and excess capacity maybe carried over to the next subsequent year. A minimum guarantee of $5,000.00 will be provided for the base year of each contract, by the Government as legal consideration. Since more than one contract will be awarded as a result of this announcement for the same or similar work, selection for task order awards will be made as follows: All awardees will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order award in excess of $3,000. FAR 16.505(b)(2) specifies exceptions to the fair opportunity to be considered processed. All interested Architect-Engineers are reminded that in accordance 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 disadvantaged business. Any subcontracts that are awarded that do not qualify under the Brooks Act shall be subject to the Service Contract Act (see FAR 22.10). If a large business is selected for a contract, it will be required to submit a detailed Small Business Subcontracting Plan with the fee proposal when it is submitted by the firm selected for award. 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 assigned small business targets are 70%. This means that 70% of the subcontracted value must be targeted for small business concerns and their following subsets. The targets for the subsets are assigned as follows: 6.2% is for Small Disadvantaged Business; 7.0% is for Women-Owned small business; 9.8% for HUBZone small business; 3.0% for Veteran-Owned small business; 0.9% (non-ARRA funded) for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small business and 3.0% (ARRA funded) for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned 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 management structure. If a small business is selected, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance must be performed by the small business firms selected for award in accordance with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting. 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 https://www.bpn.gov/ccr/default.aspx or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414 and complete electronic annual representations and certifications at http://orca.bpn.gov. Contractor Performance Evaluations: In accordance with the provisions of Subpart 36.604 (Performance Evaluation) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), A-E contractors performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedure s outlined in Engineering Pamphlet (EP) 715-1-7 to fulfill this FAR requirement. For A-E contracts awarded at or above $30,000 the USACE will evaluate contractors performance and prepare a performance report using the Architect-Engineer Contract Administration Support System (ACASS), which is now a web-based system. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30 days. Accessing and using ACASS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the users computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110-$125 per certificate per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: https://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to ACASS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor. The Secretary of the Army Contractor Manpower Reporting (CMR) requirement will be incorporated into this contract. The annual CMR requirement will apply to each task order which is funded by Army dollars; supports an Army mission; which benefits or supports any Army military, civilian, or contractor personnel; or when the Army is the executive agency for the mission being supported. The A-E will be allowed to include their costs for compliance with the CMR requirement as a line item in their price proposal for each task order subject to the CMR requirement. Further information is available at https://cmra.army.mil. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: A-E services are required and will range in scope as each task order is issued.
