C -- IDC A-E SERVS FOR STRUCTURAL ENG REVIEW & ANALYSIS COMPLETION OF STATIC & DYNAMIC DESIGN OF MAJOR NAVIGATION STRUCTURES SOL W22W9K73649188 DUE 021298 POC Contract Specialist, Hank Smith (502) 625-7634 TITLE: ONE INDEFINITE DELIVERY CONTRACT FOR A-E SERVICES FOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING REVIEW & ANALYSIS AS WELL AS COMPLETION OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC DESIGN OF MAJOR NAVIGATION STRUCTURES PRIMARILY WITHIN KY, IL, IN, OH AND MI, BUT COULD BE ANYWHERE WITHIN THE LOUISVILLE DISTRICT 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 contract period is one year from date of award, with two option periods (each additional year with an additional ceiling amount of $500,000 respectively). Before award of this contract, the firm (if a large business concern) shall be required to present an acceptable Small Business and Small Disadvantage Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with Public Law 95-507. To meet the current subcontracting goals, 61.2% of the total subcontracted dollars must go to small business firms, 9.1%must go to small disadvantaged business firms, and 4.5% must go to woman-owned firms. The plan is not required with this submittal. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Expected project activities would involve the review and technical analysis of design parameters and computations of the static and dynamic forces affecting massive concrete hydraulic structures founded on soil or piles and the analysis of steel structure systems due to flow induced vibrations. Model to prototype correlation, site visits, and preparation of activity reports/supporting documents may also be required. Completion of static and dynamic analysis and design of massive concrete hydraulic structures founded on rock as well as that of hydraulic steel structures 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 e-h are secondary: a. Professional Qualifications: Qualified registered professional engineers (designers and checkers) with expertise pertaining to the above project information data. Firms should provide resumes in the SF 255 for the team designers and checkers. b. Specialized experience, including documented experience (i.e., Engineering Awards and/or published work, etc.), and technical competence in earthquake design and analysis of massive concrete hydraulic structures (locks, dam, approach walls, silling basins, etc.) founded on soil and/or pile foundations and rock foundations; seismic analysis of soil-pile-fluid- structure interaction along with knowledge and experience of earthquake ground motion and the application to the design of hydraulic structures, knowledge and experience relating to vibration (including flow induced vibrations) measurements and analysis of model test results and prototype predictiveness relating to large water control structural steel gates; static and dynamic finite element analysis and design ofhydraulic steel structures; and knowledge of finite element correlation and familiarity with dynamic analysis applications of soil structure interaction using programs such as SASSI, FLUSH, etc. c. Capacity to complete the work in the required time. d. Past performance on DOD and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. e. Geographical location and knowledge of the locality of the project. f. Volume of DOD contract awards in the last 12 months as described in Note 24. g. Superior performance evaluations on recently completed DOD contracts. h. Extent of participation of SB, SDB, historically black colleges and universities and minority institutions in the proposed contract ream, measured as a percentage of the estimated effort. 4. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: a. See Note 24 for general submission requirements.

All responses on SF 255 to this announcement must be received on later than 4:30 pm Local Time on the 30th calendar day after the date of this publication to be considered for selection. The day following this CBD announcement counts as day number 1. If the 30th day falls on Saturday, Sunday or a U.S. Govt holiday, the deadline is the close of business on the next Govt business day. b) It is requested that interested firms list the fee amount and date of all DOD contracts awarded during the last 12 months to the firm and all subsidiaries in Block 9 of the SF 255. c. 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 12months) SF 254 on file with the North Pacific Division, corps of Engineers must also furnish a completed SF 254. If a SF 254 is included, only the 11-92 edition of the form will be accepted. The business size status (large, small and/or minority) should be indicated in Block 3 of SF 255. Definition: A concern is small if its annual receipts average over the past 3 fiscal years do not exceed $2.5 million. d. No other information including pamphlets or booklets is requested or required. e. No other general notification to firms under consideration for this project will be made and no further action is required. This is not a request for proposals.
