COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JUNE 26,1998 PSA#2125U.S. Army Engineer District Detroit, 477 Michigan Ave., Detroit,
Michigan 48226 C -- ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES POC Vernard L. Moore
(313) 226-6433. Planning, Engineering & Design services, to include
topographic and hydrographic surveying, geotechnical investigations and
environmental sampling/testing, is required for various civil works
(navigation, flood control, environmental remediation) projects within
the Detroit District boundaries. The contractor selected will need
sufficient resources and flexibility to be able to furnish a full range
of professional planning, engineering and design services related to
civil works projects in the upper Great Lakes area. Expected services
may include, but are not limited to, the following: topographic site
surveys & mapping; real estate and boundary surveys; hydrographic
surveys; geotechnical site investigations, boring, sampling & testing;
environmental (soil, sediment & water quality) sampling & testing;
hydraulic modeling and analysis for the Great Lakes connecting
channels, hydrologic modeling and analysis for Great Lakes basin water
supply studies, coastal engineering and processesstudies for Great
Lakes shoreline and erosion projects; design of navigation project
structures, facility repairs/improvements, flood control structures,
shoreline protection & remediation, dredged material disp~osal
confinement facilities, containerized HTW remediation; and preparation
of planning & design report documents, construction plans and
specifications & cost estimates (utilizing Corps of Engineers standard
microcomputer programs -MCACES/SPECSINTACT) for the aforementioned
projects. An indefinite delivery contract will be negotiated and
awarded for a base period of one year, and two option periods, each one
year in duration. The proposed services will be negotiated and obtained
through the issuance of individual, fixed-price delivery orders, not to
exceed $1,000,000.00 per order. The annual ceiling for the base year
and option years is $1,000,000.00 per year. An option period may be
exercised when the contract amount for the base period or preceding
option period has been exhausted or nearly exhausted. It is anticipated
that more than one indefinite delivery contract with similar scope of
work will be in place during the period of this contract. Criteria to
be used in allocating orders will include capacity to accomplish the
order in the required time, uniquely specialized experience and
equitable distribution of work among the contractors. This announcement
is open to all businesses regardless of their size. If a large business
is selected for this contract, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9
regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on the part of this
work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for this
contract are that a minimum of 61.2% of the contractor's intended
subcontract amount be placed with small businesses (SB), to include
9.1% with small disadvantaged businesses (SDB) and 4.5% with women
owned small businesses (WSB). The detailed subcontracting plan is not
required with this submittal. The wages and benefits of service
employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under these contracts must be at
least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the
Service Contract Act. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The majority of the
professional services are required for work related to the design of
rehabilitation of existing navigation and other structures and HTW
remediation. Anticipated project sites are within the geographic limits
of the Detroit District, and are located in Michigan, eastern
Minnesota, eastern Wisconsin and northern Indiana. The estimated range
of construction costs for the projects range from $50,000.00 to
$10,000,000.00. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for the general
