C -- A/E FOR THE TOTAL ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN OF AN INTERIM PROJECT ALONG THE FIRE ISLAND INLET TO MORICHES INLET REACH OF THE ATLANTIC COAST OF LI, FIRE ISLAND TO MONTAUK PT, NY SOL CBAEPL-5031-0013 POC WILLIEN CUNNINGHAM 212-264-9123. Location: Atlantic Cost of Long Island, Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet, New York. Scope of Services Required: Various engineering services will be required throughout the estimated 24 month interim effort. Two contract awards to the same contractor may be made from this announcement, (1-Interim Project study; 1-PLans and specifications). The required services may include but not limited to, engineering development of existing beach conditions and design of coastal improvements, including beach profile and hydrographic (borrow area) surveys, topographic mapping and littoral budget and sediment analysis of the 26 mile study shoreline, from Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet along the Atlantic Cost of Long Island, including navigation inlets. The work effort may require a complete structural inventory and damage/benefit analysis for the 12 miles of shorefront from Fire Island Inlet to Morices Inlet, including the barrier island and affected mainland areas. Services may include environmental analysis, including hazardous waste studies and related mitigation studies, environmental impact assessments, permit evaluations, biological assessments for endangered species, coastal zone consistency evaluations and fish and wildlife mitigation plans. A cultural resources reconnaissance study, including survey of onshore cultural resources, remote sensing, underwater investigation, identification of potential anomalies, and coordination with local divers regarding the location of shipwrecks may be required, as well as mitigation measures for anomalies identified. Services may consist of conducting engineering investigations to obtain information needed for design; preparing design analyses, including numerical modeling; preparation of design memoranda; preparing and/or reviewing plans and specifications; reviewing and incorporating work performed by others; developing critical path method schedules; giving periodic briefings and preparation of reports including preparation of all supporting data such as calculations, cost estimates (M-CACES), photographs, drawings, diagrams and models, and additional miscellaneous design services. Estimated Cost of Construction: As currently estimated, the construction cost estimate for this project ranges approximately from $30,000,000 to $40,000.000. Technical Capability Required: Due to the wide range of types of project elements covered under this contract, broad experience and technical capabilities are required. Experience: Extensive specialized experience is required in the design and construction of coastal structures including economic engineering and environmental evaluations related to a) groins and jetties, b) protective beach dunes and berms, c) seawalls, d) revetments, and e) breakwaters. Techincal capabilities: Extensive technical capability is required in the following engineering and supporting desciplines: Civil Engineers, Coastal Engineers, Structural Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Geotechnical Engineers, Economists, Cost Estimators, Environmental Scientists, Biologists/Wildlife biologist, Botanists, Ecologists, Underwater Archaeologists, Geologists and Surveyors. Special Qualifications: Actual experience in the following: 1) littoral budget, 2) beach and coastal structure design, 3) beach surveys, 4) storm damage survey and analysis, 5) recreational use analysis, 6) hydrographic and photogrammetric surveys, 7) remote sensing and underwater investigations for cultural resources, 8) hazardous, toxic, and radioactive wastes (HTRW) training, 9) mitigation/restoration studies, and 10) M-CACES (Corps of Engineers cost estimating software). Professional registration in New York State is required for engineers and surveyors. Closing Date for submission of Form 255: 30 days after advertising in CBD. If closing date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, then the actual date will be the next business day. A/E selection will be based on the requirements referenced above and the following criteria listed in relative order of inportance: 1) Professional qualificaaations necessary for satisfactory performance of required services. 2) Specialized experience and technical compettttence in the type of work required. Technical competence and prior experience of the firm and individuals assigned to the contract. 3) Capacity of the firm to accomplish the work in the required time and qualifications of lead personnel. 4) The firm's past experience, on contracts with the Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. The location of the firm within the general geographic area of the New York District and knowledge of the project site, provided that a sufficient number of qualified firms having working offices within a reasonable distance respond to this announcement. 6) The volume of work previously awarded to the firm by the Department of Defense. DOD desires an equitable distribution of design contracts among qualified architect-engineer firms, including small and disadvantaged business firms as well as firms that have no prior DOD contracts. Start: 15 May 1995. Completion: 30 May 1997. Small and Disadvantaged Firms are encouraged to participate as prime contractors or as members of joint ventures with other small businesses, and all interested contractors are reminded that the successful contractor wil be expected to place subcontractors to the maximum practicable extent with small and disadvantaged firms in accordance with Public Law 95-507. If a large business firm is selected, a subcontracting plan is required. Two contract awards to the same contractor may be made from responses to this announcement. (1-Interim Project study; 1-Plans and Specifications) Firms should submit two copies of SF 254 and SF 255 in response to this CBD announcement. Firms using subcontractors should also include copies of their SF 254 with submittal. Personal visits and telephone calls for the purpose of discussing considerations for this work will not be accepted. Firms shall indicate on page 11, block 10 of the SF 255 the total number of DOD awards (basic, modifications. IDC/work orders) and the total value of those awards (A/E fee) within the last 12 months prior to the date of the announcement. Firms that do not comply with this requirement may be considered nonresponsive. (0040)
