The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District has been tasked to solicit for and award a project to include: Proposed project will be a competitive, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity type contract. Task Orders awarded against the proposed contract will be firm-fixed price. The type of solicitation to be issued will depend upon the responses to this synopsis. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow up information requests.

Estimated Construction Range for task orders is between $30 million and $61 million.
