C -- INDEF DELIVERY/INDEF QUANTITY CONTRACT FOR TITLE I & II SERVICES FOR A-E ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION SERVICES UNDER DERP AT SENECA ARMY DEPOT ACTIVITY, NEW YORK POC Patricia Newman, Contract Specialist, or Danny J. Biggs, Contracting Officer, 205-895-1383. Architect-Engineer (A-E) services are required to meet the re- quirements of Federal and State regulations for the remediation of Hazardous, Toxic and Radiological Waste (HTRW)/Ordnance and Explosive Waste (OEW) for all phases of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (including Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986), all phases of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (including Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act and Clean Air Act Amendments, Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Safe Drinking Water Act, and other appropriate Federal and State regulations that are applicable to environmental restoration activities at Seneca Army Depot Activity (SEDA), New York. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. TITLE I services are expected to include, but will not be limited to: technical report preparation (e.g. workplans, remedial investigation/feasibility studies, RCRA Facility Assessments/Investigations), sampling/analysis for environmental clean-up, engineering evaluations/cost analysis, removal action/interim measure design, remedial action designs, groundwater modeling (two dimensional and three dimensional), laboratory analysis, data validation, preparation of baseline risk assessments, assistance with community relations and fulfillment of public participation requirements, bench treatability studies, implementation of pilot-scale treatment studies and characterization and disposal of investigation derived wastes. TITLE II services for remedial actions and removal actions/corrective measures are expected to include, but will not be limited to: supervision and inspection of construction, review of shop drawings, construction schedules and sequencing, design changes to incorporate existing site conditions, preparation of operation and maintenance manuals, and engineering and design during construction. A one year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with four one year options will be negotiated for these services (total of five years). This contract will have the capability to issue Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) delivery orders. The maximum individual delivery order limit will be $3 million, and there will be a total contract limit of $55 million ($15 million basic year, $15 million for each of the first two option years and $5 million for each of the last two option years). The Government's minimum obligation is two percent of the stated maximum or $500,000, which ever is less, in base year, and one percent of the stated maximum or $250,000, or whichever is less, in each option year. Funds for this minimum obligation will be available by the time of contract award. In order to be considered for selection of this contract, interested firms must submit an SF 254/255 (11/92 editions only). The Government reserves the right to synopsize and award contracts for similar work at this site. One of the main reasons this might be done includes, but is not limited to, an instance when the Government Estimate for a project exceeds the established contract limits and a project must be started prior to the next contract ordering period becoming effective if the current delivery order limits have been achieved. The performance period for this contract is estimated to be from April 1995 through April 2000. There is no guarantee that any delivery orders will be issued under the basic contract or any of the contract option years in excess of the minimum guarantees. Since engineering design may be required under this contract, responding firms must be capable of providing design drawings on a computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) system. All final drawings will be computer-generated, plotted and provided in a format and medium that will permit their loading, storage and use without modification or additional software on the Huntsville Division graphics system. The Huntsville Division graphics system consists of INTERGRAPH Corporation supplied workstations running Microstation Version 5.0, Project Architect, Project Layout, Modular GIS Environment (MGE) software products, Inroads and InXpress software with data input required on either a 9-track, 1600 BPI tape drive, 2.3 GB or 5 GB 8mm data cartridge, 3.5 inch 1.4 mbyte floppy disk and a 5 1/4 inch 1.2 mbyte floppy disk. State the CADD system to be used and demonstratehow it is compatible with the Huntsville Division sys- tem. The final tape submitted by the A-E shall be delivered on 9-track, 1600 BPI, Odd Parity, ASCII computer magnetic tape and must be capable of being directly loaded into CEHND's Intergraph system without modification or loss of data. Since large amounts of environmental quality data may need to be interpreted and managed under this project, responding firms must be capable of utilizing a Geographical Information System (GIS) to record these data for interpretation and management. Responding firms must, as part of their response, demonstrate how their system will be made compatible with CEHND's graphic system. Firms failing to submit information on how they will achieve complete CADD and GIS compatibility with CEHND's system will not be considered. The A-E must clearly identify the responsible engineer-in-charge, geologist-in-charge, staff personnel and subcontractors intended to perform the work. Work may be in controlled access areas and all personnel working on the project must be U.S. citizens capable of being badged and cleared on the facility.
