C -- IDC EARTHQUAKE EVALUATION & DYNAMIC DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF MAJOR NAVIGATION STRUCTURES & SUBSTRUCTURES SOL W22W9K73649214 DUE 020998 POC Contract Specialist, Hank Smith (502) 625-7634 TITLE: ONE INDEFINITE DELIVERY CONTRACT FOR A-E SERVICES FOR EARTHQUAKE EVALUATION AND DYNAMIC DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF MAJOR NAVIGATION STRUCTURES & SUBSTRUCTURES PRIMARILY WITHIN IL, IN, KY, MI AND OH BUT COULD BE ANYWHERE WITHIN THE LOUISVILLE DISTRICT MISSION BOUNDARIES 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: The proposed services will be obtained by a negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contract. The maximum amount of the contract shall not exceed $500,000, and no individual delivery order shall exceed $150,000.

The plan is not required with this submittal. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Expected project activities would involve the evaluation of earthquake ground motion using deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard analysis approaches. In addition, the evaluation of time dependent loadings and design application of dynamic loading to soil and pile founded massive concrete hydraulic structures using two dimensional and three dimensional soil pile interaction models may be required. Static and dynamic finite element analysis of soil structure interaction for structures founded on rock may also be required. 3 SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for general selection process information. The selection criteria in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion) are listed below. Criteria a-d are primary and 3-h are secondary: a.

Responding firms must submit a current and accurate SF 254 for each proposed consultant. Additionally all responding firms which do not have a current (within 12 months) SF 254 on file with the North Pacific Division, Corps of Engineers must also furnish a completed SF 254. Any firm with an electronic mailbox responding to this solicitation should identify such address in the SF 255. Release of firm status will occur within 10 days after approval of any selection. The business size status (large, small and/or minority) should be indicated in Block 3 of SF 255.
