- 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks AE 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 civil engineering, including hydrology/hydraulic (H&H) and environmental engineering for civil works projects at various locations in the Los Angeles District and South Pacific Division. This solicitation is for a Small Business A-E contract. Only Small Businesses will be considered for award. There will be one (1) indefinite delivery contract for Architect-Engineer (A-E) service. The contract is for a sixty (60) month period or until the not-to-exceed amount of $4,500,000.00 has been met, whichever occurs first. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed price task orders. The estimated contract start date is February 2018 for a period of sixty (60) months (through February 2023). Work is subject to availability of funds. Estimated construction cost is not applicable.

To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) via the website at www.sam.gov. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The work and services shall primarily consist of hydrologic and hydraulic engineering investigations, studies, and reports for planning, design and water control documents, and activities (such as inspections of flood control facilities) to support the National Levee Safety Program, Dam Safety Program, and other related programs. It is noted that a small portion of the H&H work is anticipated for military projects. The principle field of professional expertise required will be in Civil Engineering (Hydrology/Hydraulics) with some related support from environmental, civil design, geographical information systems (GIS), cost engineering, project management, geotechnical, and structural engineering. The firm selected for this contract will be expected to submit a quality control/quality assurance plan and to adhere to it during the work and services required under the contract. In Section H of the SF 330 describe the firms Design Quality Management Plan (DQMP), including Design Quality Assurance Plan (DQAP) of subcontractor(s) work.
