C -- STORM WATER MANAGEMENT STUDY SOL N68925-96-C-A541 POC Charlean Thompson, Contract Specialist, 202-685-8229. This work requires Environmental Engineering for the development of a comprehensive plan for improving water quality, and aquatic and riparian habitat conditions for Stoney Creek watershed located on the grounds of the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC), Bethesda MD. NNMC's goal is to redevelop Stoney Creek to a pre-urbanized condition, reduce storm water surges, and to put NNMC in full compliance with the 1987 Clean Water Act Amendments (CWAA) section 302- water quality. Contractor shall provide technical support to NNMC in three areas Task 1 - Application of the Rapid Stream Assessment Technique (RSAT), or equivalent method to evaluate stream conditions on approximately one total stream mile with the Stoney Creek watershed. Task 2 - Evaluation of existing storm water management systems at NNMC. Develop a comprehensive evaluation of the function, type of pollutant(s) removed, required operation and maintenance (O&M), and recommended upgrades or improvements of these systems. Task 3 - Development of a technical watershed management plan (including existing and future storm water management systems) which comprehensively addresses potential stream restoration, storm water management, reforestation, improvements for fish habitat and wetland creation opportunities in the Stoney Creek watershed area. This task shall include site location, drawings of the proposed systems, a priority ranking system and detailed cost estimates for each project type. The firm must demonstrate its qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors for all services listed above. Specific evaluation factors include: (1) PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY FOR SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE OF REQUIRED SERVICES - Firms will be evaluated in terms of the staff's (a) experience as a firm providing environmental services; and (b) active professional registration in the state in which the services will be performed; (2) SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE OF THE FIRM IN THE TYPE OF WORK REQUIRED - Firms will be evaluated on their: (a) recent experience (within the past 5 years) with regard to performing on projects requiring storm water management studies in terms of drainage area size, degree of watershed improvements, severity of stream channel erosion problems, extent of storm water management controls, and stream habitat and/or riparian habitat value;(3) CAPACITY TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK IN THE REQUIRED TIME - Firms will be evaluated in terms of (a) ability to accomplish project, (b) present workload, and (c) ability to sustain the loss of key personnel while accomplishing work within required schedules;(4) PAST PERFORMANCE - Firms will be evaluated on past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules;(5) LOCATION - Firms will be evaluated on their location with respect to the general geographical area of the contract and their knowledge of local codes, law, permits, and practices of the area (provided that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project); and (6) VOLUME OF WORK - Firms will be evaluated in terms of work previously awarded by DoD during the previous 12 months, with the objective of effecting an equitable distribution of work among qualified A-E firms, including small and samll disadvantaged business firms and firms that have not had prior DoD contracts.
