C -- INDEFINITE DELIVERY CONTRACT FOR HYDRAULIC/HYDROLOGIC AND COASTAL ENGINEERING SERVICES Contact, Robert M. Bencal, 215-656-6606. 1. Contract Information: The Philadelphia District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to award up to two (2) one-year Indefinite Delivery Contract(s) for Hydrologic and Hydraulic Engineering Services with an option for an additional one-year period. The maximum delivery order limit is $150,000.00. The cumulative total for all delivery orders in either the base or option year shall not exceed $500,000.00. In addition, the Federal information Processing (FIP) work allowed under each contract including both the base and option year is $150,000.00. 2. Project Information: The firm(s) will be used to support the Civil Works mission and areas assigned to the District for hydraulic and hydrologic and coastal/estuarine engineering services. Work under this contract will primarily be in the Delaware River Basin and Estuary and the coastal and estuary portion of New Jersey and Delaware as assigned to the Philadelphia District. Primary work under this contract involves but is not limited to site investigations, Data Collection, studies, designs and reports related to Coastal issues such as beach erosion, hurricane and storm protection, water quality, coastal inlets and tidal hydraulics, and hydraulics/hydrologic issues such as flood control and groundwater flow. Qualifications and experience should be demonstrated in the following areas for coastal/estuarine engineering: understanding of shoreline processes and responses; development of tidal elevation frequency curves; estimation of channel shoaling rates; development of sediment budgets; generation of design water levels and waves for beaches and coastal structures; proficiency in shoreline change and storm erosion numerical modeling using GENESIS, SBEACH and other Corps approved models; calculation of tidal flows and tidal prisims; engineering analsyses for plans of improvement using beachfill, seawalls, revetments, prisms, jetties, breakwaters and sand bypassing systems and ability to collect and analyze coastal processes data such as beach profile surveys, and wave, tide and current information. Additionally, qualifications and experience should be demonstrated in the following areas for hydraulic/hydrologic engineering: generation of the standard project and probable maximum floods; generation of frequency flows for gaged and ungaged areas under natural or regulate conditions; development of water surface profiles using HEC-s, UNET, Dambreak or other Corps approved models; hydraulic analysis and design of dams and related structures; hydraulic analysis of natural and modified river channels, flood detention basins, levees and interior drainage facilities; sedimentation analysis for rivers and reservoirs using Corps of Engineers criteria; and groundwater analysis. Contractor must be able to supply products in IBM PC compatible software such as: AutoCAD, Word Perfect, and Quattro Pro. The firms must be qualified in the work areas described and be familiar with the requirements and regulations of the Corps of Engineers, EPA and other agencies which have jurisdiction. 3. Selection Criteria: Significant selection evaluation criteria in relative descending order of importance will include: (1) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services; (2) Specialized experience of the firm in the types of work required; (3) Capacity of the firm to accomplish a minimum of two delivery orders simultaneously; (4) Past performance, especially on Department of Defense contracts; (5) Location of the firm in the general geographical area will be a consideration in the selection, provided a sufficient number of qualified firms respond to this announcement. (6) Extent of participation of SB, SDB, historically black colleges and universities, and minority institutions in the proposed contract team, measured as a percentage of the estimated effort; (8) Demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design. As a part of this submittal, it is required that all responding firms clearly present billing amounts for all Corps of Engineers work as well as all other Department of Defense work for the 12 months preceding this announcement. As a requirement for negotiations, the selected contractor will submit for government approval a quality control plan which will be enforced through the life of the contract. 4. Submission Requirements: Responding firms must clearly present billing amounts for all USACE work as well as all other DOD work for the past 12 months prior to the date of this announcement. Firms which desire consideration and meet the requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit a completed SF 254 and 255 revised 11/92 for the prime firms and SF 254 for all consultants, to the above address not later than the close of business on the 30th day after the date of this announcement. If the 30th day is a Saturday, Sunday or Federal holiday, the deadline is the close of business and next business day. Include ACASS number in Block 3b. of the SF 255. Call the ACASS Center at 503-326-3459 for information on obtaining an ACASS number. This is not a Request for proposals. No other information to firms for this project will be made. (094)
