- Description
- These contracts are being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The services will consist of topographic, geodetic, property/boundary, hydrographic, and remote sensing surveys and CADD/GIS mapping services to support planning, engineering design, construction, operations, and maintenance of civil works projects within the geographic boundaries of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The primary purpose of these contracts is to provide services for projects located within the geographic boundaries of the Jacksonville District. Secondarily, these contracts may be used to provide services within the geographic boundaries of the other U.S. Army Corps of Engineers districts within the South Atlantic Division. The contractor will have the right to refuse orders for services to be performed outside the geographic boundaries of the Jacksonville District. North American Industrial Classification System code is 541370, which has a size standard of $4,500,000 in average annual receipts. These contracts are set-aside for small businesses only. No one firm will receive more than one award as a result of this solicitation. Only firms considered highly qualified will be awarded a contract. Indefinite delivery contracts will be negotiated and awarded from this solicitation with subsequent work issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price or labor-hour task orders. This announcement will result in at least two (2) awards. Criteria used in allocating task orders among contracts include performance and quality of deliverables under current task orders, current capacity to accomplish the order in the required time, specialized experience, equitable distribution of the work among the contractors, and other relevant factors. The contracts will be for a period of one year from the date of award, with options to extend for four additional years; not to exceed a total of five years. While the estimated dollar amount per year is $500,000.00, the actual obligation per year may be greater than or less than the $500,000.00. Maximum order limit is $2,500,000 for the life of the contract, including options. To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at http://www.ccr.gov. A firm must also be registered in Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) in order to receive an award from this solicitation. Register via the ORCA Internet site at http://orca.bpn.gov. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The work will consist of topographic, geodetic, property/boundary, hydrographic, remote sensing surveys and CADD/GIS mapping services to support planning, engineering design, construction, operations, and maintenance of civil works projects. Some of the services are of the following types: construction layout and alignment surveys; real estate boundary, property, and tidal surveys; beach profiles; horizontal and vertical geodetic control surveys; ground penetrating radar and vacuum excavation for utility location; ground based laser scanning; near-shore and offshore hydrographic surveys; seabed classification; side scan sonar; sub-bottom profiling; acoustic Doppler current profiling; magnatometry; CADD/GIS; topographic and hydrographic LIDAR; collection of aerial imagery for photogrammetric mapping utilizing digital aerial cameras; orthophoto generation; multi/hyper spectral imagery. Work will require compliance with SDSFIE (Spatial Data Standard) for GIS and AEC (Architectural Engineering CADD Standard). All hydrographic survey data shall be submitted using HYPACK format and all ASCII topographic survey data shall follow the format specifications in the Topographic Surveying Manual, EM1110-1-1005: http://140.194.76.129/publications/eng-manuals/em1110-1-1005/toc.htm. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-e are primary.

Firms shall demonstrate that all expertise requirements are reflected on key personnel resumes. Include a detailed list of field equipment, platforms of operation (including vessels, aircraft, airboats, amphibious vehicles), and sensors (to include data collection systems, positioning, motion sensing, navigation). (1) Topographic Surveying Firms shall specifically demonstrate the following expertise: surveying of major civil site engineering projects; operating survey-grade GPS units; real estate boundary/property surveys; surveying in near shore or shallow water bodies; and horizontal and vertical geodetic control surveys. (2) Hydrographic Surveying Firms shall specifically demonstrate the following expertise: hydrographic surveys utilizing HYPACK with survey grade sounding equipment; RTK GPS horizontal and vertical positioning of vessel. A minimum of one 20 to 30 foot hydrographic survey vessel with cabin and trailer is required.
