C -- INDEFINITE DELIVERY ARCHITECT-ENGINEER CONTRACTS FOR AUTOMATED SINGLE TRACK HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS AND AUTOMATED MULTI-BEAM CHANNEL SWEEP HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS SOL DACW43-95-R-0724, DACW43-95-R-0725, DACW43-95-R-0726 and DACW43-95-R-0727. Contact Point, John A. Gaal, 314/331-8301, Contracting Officer, T.M. Laws, 314/331-8500. Professional engineering services for performing field surveys for the St. Louis District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civil works, military construction, and environmental restoration projects. Surveys which may be required include the following: hydrographic surveys for river and harbor project clearance, underwater hazard detection and assessment of dredge measurement and payment, topographic, planimetric, cadastral, location, construction layout, and geodetic control (horizontal & vertical) surveys. Hydrographic surveys shall use totally automated systems with the capability of position by use of Differential Global Positioning Systems (DGPS). Contractor must also have a back up positioning system in the event that satellite transmissions for DGPS positioning is interrupted or not available. Contracts will be awarded as follows: At least two contracts forautomated single track hydrographic survey systems (Solicitations DACW43-95-R-0724 and DACW43-95-R-0725) and at least two contracts for automated multi-beam channel sweep hydrographic survey systems (Solicitations DACW43-95-R-0726 and DACW43-95-R-0727). 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION. These contracts willbe used for field surveys on sites for the St. Louis District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The St. Louis District will be the primary area for the contract, but the Government may, at its discretion and upon concurrence of the Contractor, accomplish work in other geographical regions. Work will be accomplished under indefinite delivery type contracts with each delivery order limited to $150,000.00, and the total accumulative contract amount limited to $750,000.00 for a one-year period with an option to renew for one additional year. The contracts are anticipated to be awarded in June 1995. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for these contracts, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for these contracts are that a minimum of 5% of the contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), and 2% be placed with SDB, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities or Minority Institutions. The plan is not required with this submittal. 2. EVALUATIN FACTORS. See Note 24 for general selection process. The evaluation factors shall include, in descending order of importance first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion: a. Professional Qualifications; (1) All survey work must be performed under the supervision of a Registered Land Surveyor or a Registered Professional Engineer with expertise in survey and with demonstrated experience in computer-aided drafting (CADD). b. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence; (1) Surveys which may be required include, but are not limited to, the following: hydrographic, cadastral, planimetric, topographic, geodetic control, location, construction layout, GPS surveying, aerial photo control surveys, and experience in field data processing and survey adjustments. (2) Firms must have at least two survey crews. (3) Firms must have the capability to submit all survey data (including hydrographic) in digital format, readable and fully operational in 2D and 3D format on District's CADD system. Drawings are to be delivered as Intergraph design files. Firms must also have the capability to provide survey data in ASCII format and Intergraph dgn format (Microstation V5.0) on 8mm tape in TAR or 3 1/2 inch high density floppy diskettes formatted in MS-DOS. (4) Intergrate field survey information into photogrammetric mapping data bases and that portion of the data furnished by the surveyor must be compatible with the photomapping data. This could include, but is not limited to: drill hole locations, utility information, boundary surveys, horizontal traverse circuits, underwater soundings, DTM contour grids, and aerial photo control point location coordinates; c. Capacity of firm to furnish equipment and personnel to accomplish the work as required to maintain delivery of a quality product on a timely schedule; d. Firms which demonstrate that they presently have, or the capability to readily obtain through purchase or lease, an automated hydrographic survey vessel of 19-30 foot length capable of being trailered to and operating in U.S. inland and coastal navigation projects for the automated single beam acoustic surveys. e. For multi beam surveys, the vessel must have a demonstrated capability for being optionally equipped with full motion compensation, side scan sonar imaging for underwater hazardous object strike detection, multi-beam, shallow water acoustic imagery from a single transducer source; f. Firms which demonstrate that they presently have, or the capability to obtain through purchase or lease, static, kinematic GPS equipment capable of subcentimeter measurement accuracy, electronic total station with data collector, and CADD/GIS data processing equipment; g. Past performance on similar Department of Defense contracts and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules; h. Geographical location of the firm with respect to where services are required; i. Extent of participation of SB, SDB, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Minority Institutions in the proposed contract team measured as a percentage of the estimated effort; j. Volume of DOD contracts awarded in the last 12 months as described in Note 24. 3. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS. Firms having capabilities to perform this work and a desire to be considered must submit a completed SF 255 (11/92 Edition) and appropriate data as described in Note 24. Only SF 255's received in this office within 30 calendar days from the date of notice will be considered. If an SF 254 is not on file with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a current SF 254 should also be included. Firms who wish to be considered for the automated single track hydrographic surveys should respond to Solicitation Nos. DACW43-95-R-0724 and DACW43-95-R-0725. Firms who wish to be considered for the automated multi-beam channel sweep hydrographic surveys should respond to Solicitation Nos. DACW43-95-R-0726 and DACW43-95-R-0727. If a firm wishes to be considered for all the solicitations, one copy of the SF 254/SF 255's will be required for SOL DACW43-95-R-0724 and DACW43-95-R-0725 and one copy of the SF254/SF255's will be required for SOL DACW43-95-R-0726 and DACW43-95-R-0727. No other notification to firms under consideration for this work will be made. Solicitation packages are not provided for A/E contracts. This is not a request for proposal. (023)
