This includes construction observation, review of submittals, value engineering, site visits, field testing, the preparation of operation and maintenance manuals, construction support, and consultation during construction. Much of the work to be performed in historic buildings and sites will require continuous attention to compliance with historic preservation guidelines, techniques, and oversight. Topographic Surveying (should include 3D terrain modeling capability), Utility Line Surveys (TV and pressure testing of underground lines), Soil Testing (includes borings and lab analysis). Environment Services that include sampling of soil, water, air and construction material for hazardous content (field sampling and lab work), review of construction contractor provided hazardous substance remediation plans, both safety and QC plans, field consult and Quality Assurance on hazardous material remediation actions, cost estimating, hydrologic analysis (for example install a groundwater well and record/report on water depths and flow rates), specialty area field QA, for example: Conduct a one day mechanical engineering site inspection and prepare a report of any code deficiencies found.

Wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities; C). Wastewater reclamation and reuse (both potable and non-potable facilities); and D). Water and wastewater pumping facilities. As an example: the size of projects for Parts A through D, above, the size will range from very small (5,000 gallons per day capacity) to larger (over one million gallons per day capacity). Complexity will range from that of groundwater wells with disinfection to complete treatment facilities for surface water sources, and from that of on-site septic tank/drain field systems to wetlands, lagoons, alternative and/or advanced wastewater treatment processes, and conventional wastewater treatment facilities.

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 Compliance; and K. Geotechnical Engineering PROJECT LOCATIONS: The primary area of project work and task orders will be located throughout Yellowstone NP, Glacier NP & Grand Teton NP. In addition, contract(s) shall allow for issuance of individual task orders for projects throughout the Intermountain Region including states of Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Idaho. ORGANIZATION: The lead firm(s) selected for contract award will be predominately Civil, Environmental and Sanitary design firm(s) as the majority of services to be performed under this contract(s) will be Civil/Environmental/Sanitary in nature. In order to maximize competition, the NPS is encouraging joint venture arrangements as well as prime/subcontractor relationships for this solicitation. REQUIRED DISCIPLINES: Required disciplines include professionals registered as Civil Engineers, Traffic Engineers, and Environmental/Sanitary Engineers. Sub-consultant disciplines, which may be required for some projects include professionals registered in structural, electrical, mechanical, hydrologic, fire/safety, and process/instrumentation engineering; surveyors; geotechnical engineering; architecture; landscape architecture; construction management, commissioning, and cost control/estimating. Environmental and hazardous materials assessment personnel may coincide with other professionals previously listed and also may include subject matter experts in the resources affected by the action. Other services, e.g. AutoCAD drafting, word processing, cost estimating, etc., will be required in the performance of specific task order requirements. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN: The U.S. Government has adopted sustainable design as the guiding principle for its planning, design and construction projects. By definition, this means meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. In practice, sustainable design utilizes best available solutions within the design tradition and conserves global resources, utilizes energy efficiently, recycles materials and waste, and specifies ecologically responsible methods, practices, and materials in the construction and operations of Government facilities. Accordingly, the selected firm(s) must exhibit current credentials and demonstrated competency in sustainable design and green building systems. Firms shall validate their sustainable abilities and practices through completed construction projects, green certifications, green building awards, and use of green technologies. The LEED program is an example one such certification program. REGISTRATION / LICENSING: Where applicable, the listed disciplines shall be licensed / registered to practice in the state in which the project is located. The facilities in Yellowstone National Park are located in the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. At the time of contract award the disciplines shall be or shall hold reciprocity eligibility to become licensed to practice in the states identified above. In addition where applicable the listed disciplines shall meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards. At least one person within the disciplines on the A/E's team shall be a LEED accredited professional. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Periods of Performance shall be noted in each individual task order. Period of Performances may extend over several fiscal years. REGULATIONS: The A/E shall be responsible for compliance with all federal, state and local regulations, codes and policies. SUBCONSULTANTS: In the course of doing business with A/E firms under contract with the NPS, the NPS occasionally needs to obtain specialized services from sub consultants under the prime contract. In these instances, the majority of the work may be performed solely by the sub-consultant with little involvement of the prime contractor. Even though the work is performed primarily by the sub-consultant, the NPS will ensure that the prime is involved in all discussions and all correspondence is routed through the prime. The prime shall not be granted an administrative handling or coordination fee on sub-consultant's services. LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING 52.219-14 (DEC 1996): Limitations on Subcontracting is applicable to this contract.
