C -- A/E IDTC FOR HYDROLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING AND DESIGN, COASTAL ENGINEERING AND WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SERVICES SOL DACW57-96-R-0004 DUE 010296 POC Contract Specialist TINA HARWOOD (503) 326-4816 (Site Code DACW57) 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: Hydrologic and hydraulic engineering and design, coastal engineering and water resource management services are required for various projects assigned to the Portland District. An Architect-Engineer (A-E) indefinite delivery-type contract for $750,000 will be awarded, with a base period of one year and an option of one year. Delivery orders will not exceed $150,000. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for this contract, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9. Subcontracting goals for this contract are that a minimum of 60.3% of the proposed subcontracting amount be placed with small business (SB), including small disadvantaged business (SDB), 9.8% be placed with SDB, and 2.9% be placed with small women-owned business. Estimated contract award will be July 1996. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Typical services to be provided will include a wide range of engineering and technical studies in the water resources civil works field. Specific services anticipated include, but are not limited to: on-site investigations and analyses related to civil works projects; assessment of site conditions relevant to coastal project performance and design; ground surveys of channel and overbank cross sections of streams; analysis of hydrologic processes including precipitation, runoff, water supply forecast, etc.; collection and analysis of sediment transport and bed material samples; preparation of study, technical, and value engineering reports; preparation of contract plans and specifications; design of navigation channels and harbor and coastal improvements; analysis of sediment transport in rivers, streams, lakes, estuaries, and in coastal areas; development of sediment yield estimates for volcanic or mountainous watersheds; development of design values for wave height determination to include fetch length, and wind speed and duration; determination of applicable wave climate for a coastal site; calculation of wave forces, wave overtopping, and wave transmission; preparation of Water Control Manual for civil works projects; performance of reservoir regulation studies; performance of flood reduction analyses; performance of statistical analyses of hydrological data to produce pertinent statistical relationships as specifically needed; and the performance of hydraulic analysis of channels using 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional analyses for steady and unsteady flow situations. Applicants should submit documentation listing completed projects and current capabilities, including documentation that demonstrates the applicants ability to competently use various computer programs including, but not limited to: HEC-1, HEC-2, HEC-5, HEC-7, TABS, UNET, HEC-RAS, ACES, Flood Flow Frequency (WRC), HEC Data Storage System, and SSARR. Selected firm must be able to produce engineering plates on a CADD system in Intergraph MicroStation Version 5.0 or DXF format and provide design and drawings fully compatible with Portland District Intergraph CADD system. A list of equipment or proposed conversion software must be contained in the firms package so that compatibility can be verified. Cost estimates will be required in Corps of Engineers Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (MCACES). 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: Selection criteria for this project will be based upon the following, listed in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-g are primary, Criteria h-j are secondary, used only as tie-breakers. a. Specialized experience and technical competence in hydrologic, hydraulic, coastal and water resource engineering as described above. Experience must have been performed within the last five years. b. Demonstrated expertise in the application of the above described computer programs. c. Professional qualifications of personnel to be assigned to project. Evaluation will consider education, training, registration, and the amount and relevance of experience. Personnel provided for these services must be experienced in disciplines which would enable performance on a wide variety of projects. Specifically required will be professional engineers with experience in river engineering, hydrology, water resources development, sediment transport, fluvial morphology, and coastal analysis. Cost Engineers will have completed MCACES basic and advanced training courses or have demonstrated advanced level ability on previous MCACES projects. The following disciplies will be evaluated (minimum number to be evaluated shown in brackets to right of each of the discipline: (1) Project Manager (1); (2) Hydraulic/Hydrologic Engineer (2); (3) Civil Engineer (1); (4) Coastal Engineer (1); (5) Geologist (1); (6) Cost Engineer (1); (7) CADD Technician (2). d. Ability to meet CADD requirements as specified above. e. Design Quality Assurance: (1) Description of quality control processes used by the firm. (2) Description of approach firm would use to allocate key personnel on this contract if successful offeror. Includes organizational chart showing inter-relationship of management and design team components. f. Past performance of contracts with government agencies and private industry with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. g. Current workload and capacity of firm to accomplish required services on schedule. Firm should estimate volume of work anticipated during life of this contract, and percentage of resources available to perform required services. h. Extent of participation of SB, SDB, historically black colleges and universities, and minority institutions in the proposed contract team, measured as percentage of total estimated effort. i. General geographical location of firm with regard to firms consultants and Portland District. j. Volume of DOD contract awards in last 12 months. 4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Interested A-E Firms having the capability to perform this work must submit one copy of SF 254 and SF 255 for prime and all consultants, to above address no later than close of business on the 30th day after the date of this announcement. Include the firms ACASS number in SF 255, Block 3b. Direct technical questions to Ronald Mason, (503) 326-6442 or Hilaire Peck, (503) 326-6443.
