- The Pacific Northwest Regional Office (PN Region) of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation intends to award two Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide General Architectural and Engineering (AE) services for the Pacific Northwest Region. The term for each contract is five years. The total value of each contract shall not exceed $25,000,000.00. The minimum guarantee is $20,000.00 in the first year only. The contract ceiling price is $25,000,000.00. The scope of these contracts is to provide general engineering services to support a variety of Reclamation programs. These contracts will primarily require intensive civil, electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical engineering expertise. Additionally, expertise in architecture, environmental, natural, physical and social sciences, planning, economics, and cost estimating will be required. Based upon the projected work, the focus for these contracts will be to provide support for several large, complex, multi-year projects. These projects will require firms with extensive backgrounds in hydropower, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering with staffing levels capable of concurrently working on multiple large task orders. At a minimum, the resultant IDIQ contracts will provide planning assistance for Arc Flash mitigation, switchyard breaker replacements, generator unit overhauls, crane modernization, elevator rehabilitation, generator governor replacement, static exciter replacement, and iso-phase bus replacement. Project locations will primarily be at Grand Coulee Dam and Hungry Horse Dam, but these contracts may provide support Reclamation-wide if needed. This acquisition is full and open to all responsible, responsive, and qualified AE firms. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541330 Engineering Services.
