C -- A/E IDTC MULTI-DISCIPLINE FOR TURBINE RELATED ENGINEERING SERVICES SOL DACW57-95-R-0046 DUE 093095 POC Contract Specialist LESLIE M. CONKLIN (503) 326-6418 (Site Code DACW57) 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: A-E Services are required for the engineering design, studies, testing of Hydroelectric machinery and related equipment. Approximately four indefinite delivery contracts will be negotiated and awarded, each with a base period of one year and an option period of one year. Individual, fixed-price delivery orders will not exceed $150,000 and the annual ceiling for the base and the option year of each contract is $750,000 per year. The contracts are anticipated to be awarded in September 1995. The first contract negotiated will be primarily for expertise in rehabilitation studies of hydroelectric powerplants. The second contract negotiated will be for expertise in preparation of Government (COE) plans and specifications relevant to hydroelectric power plants. The third contract negotiated will be primarily for expertise in testing of hydroelectric machinery. Additional contracts may be awarded in each of these areas to obtain sufficient pool of expertise. Ordinarily, a delivery order will be placed with the contract (primary contract) corresponding to the expertise of the work to be performed. However, a delivery order may be placed with one of the other contracts if the primary contractor has performed unsatisfactorily on previous orders under this contract, and/or significantly less work has been placed under the other contracts.
