- Description
- This is a sources sought synopsis for acquisition planning purposes and no formal solicitation exists at this time. All qualified concerns may submit capability statements for consideration. Capability statements received will be reviewed to determine the technical, administrative, management, and financial capability of such offerors to perform this type of work. The capability statements will be used to determine appropriate procurement strategy, in particular whether a set-aside is warranted or an alternate procurement strategy is warranted. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is: 541620 Environmental Consulting Services. The small business size standard for NAICS Code 541620 is $20 million. The purpose of the proposed project is for environmental support services in hydrology on the Colorado River and support in meeting attendance of the Colorado River Hydrology Work Group. The Colorado River is of strategic importance in the southwestern United States for water supply, hydropower production, recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, and other benefits; and has experienced the worst nine-year drought in recorded history. In the future, low reservoir conditions may not be limited to drought periods as additional development of Colorado River occurs. Reclamation assembled a climate technical workgroup consisting of engineers and scientists with expertise in climate and hydrology for the Final Environmental Impact Statement. The workgroup was charged with assessing the state of knowledge related to long-term climatic forecasts and providing recommendations as to what methods might be used to evaluate future hydrologic scenarios in the Colorado River basin. In an effort to pursue these recommendations, Reclamation has re-assembled the Colorado River Hydrology work group for which support and assistance is needed. The results of this assessment in combination with ongoing related work will be used to advise and advance Reclamation's understanding of the future variability of Colorado River basin hydrology. The project period of performance (5 years) is anticipated to begin October 1, 2010 with an anticipated completion date of September 30, 2015. Should you be interested in this effort, please submit a capability package to Brian Switzer at the address listed below. Capability statements are to be submitted no later than June 1, 2010. The capability statement shall address the work listed above, demonstrate the company's capability to perform the work, and describe previous procurements performed of similar size and complexity. Additionally, all responses to this sources sought shall include company name and address, business size and type (8(a), HubZone, Small Business, etc), and point of contact to include e-mail address and telephone number. Capability statements shall not exceed five pages in length. This information will be used to assist the Contracting Officer in developing the procurement strategy, in particular, including whether an 8(a) or Hubzone set-aside is warranted or if another socio-economic set-aside strategy is more appropriate. All responses to this sources sought notice shall be provided to Brian Switzer/LC-10114, Contract Specialist, P. O. Box 61470, Boulder City, NV 89006-1470 or via e-mail bswitzer@usbr.gov. When it is determined that a formal solicitation will be issued, a pre-solicitation notice will be posted on Federal Business Opportunities web site at http://www.fedbizopps.gov/.
