Description

INDEFINITE DELIVERY CONTRACT FOR Engineering and Other Related Services for Miscellaneous Projects for Security Engineering and Protective Facilities Worldwide, SIC Code 8711, NAICS code 541330. SOL DACA45-00-R-0026 For procedural questions: Chuck Paukert (402) 221-4403 Technical questions: Dan Kurmel (402) 221-3073 Contract questions: Dawn Thompson (402) 221-4811 CONTRACT INFORMATION: Engineering services are required for indefinite delivery type contracts for security engineering and protective facilities worldwide under the authority of the Omaha District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha, NE. The Government contemplates award of two indefinite delivery type contracts consisting of one basic year with four option years. The first contract will be set aside for small business with a cumulative contract amount of $1,500,000 ($300,000 per year). The second contract will be unrestricted, open to both large and small business, with a cumulative contract amount of $3,500,000 ($700,000 per year). Delivery orders will be issued from time to time during the contract period as the need arises. The amount of the delivery order will not exceed the contract amount in any period. Allocation of task orders from among firms with IDT contracts for similar work will be based on the following factors: specialized knowledge or expertise which would significantly benefit a specific customer or enhance execution, past experience with a specific customer or knowledge of the locality, availability of appropriate staff, performance on previous task orders, magnitude of task order relative to remaining contract capacity, equitable workload distribution or at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. It is the Government's intent to allocate a 70%-30% distribution of work. If a large business is selected for one of these contracts, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work that it intends to contract. This plan is not required with this submittal. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers considers the following goals reasonable and achievable for fiscal year 2000: Small Business, 61.2% of planned subcontracting dollars, to include Small Disadvantaged Business, 9.1% of planned subcontracting dollars; Women Owned Small Business, 5.0% of planned subcontracting dollars; Hubzone, 1.5% of planned subcontracting dollars; and HBCU/MI, 11% of planned subcontracting dollars. PROJECT INFORMATION: Task orders under this contract may include work such as facilities that resist the effects of nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, biological weapons, conventional weapons, accidental explosions, improvised weapons, explosives, impact loads, forced entry tools, terrorist attacks, small arms, and surveillance and eavesdropping tools. However, technical areas shall also include more general problems that involve the application of engineering principles, including security engineering and vulnerability surveys for antiterrorism/force protection. The services provided in these technical areas shall include studies, investigations, reports, evaluation/modification of existing facilities, analysis of structural and mechanical systems using computer methodologies; and development of computer automated tools that support activities performed by others. Some of the work to be completed under this contract will support construction projects. The Contractor may also be asked to teach security engineering or hardened structures design. Security clearances may be required on some delivery orders. SELECTION CRITERIA: Criteria for selection, in order of importance, are: (a) recent specialized experience and technical competence of the firm (including consultants) in the following areas: 1. Weapons Effects/Structural Analysis includes: Determination of conventional weapon characteristics given only the weapon designation, Conventional weapon threat assessment related to facility siting and construction, Vulnerability analysis of individual structures given only the weapons and attack scenarios, Prediction of free field air-blast parameters and waveforms caused by explosive detonation or deflagration in free air or near the ground surface. Prediction of reflected air-blast inside of rooms and air-blast propagation in ducts. Applying air-blast loads on and around structures or other obstructions using two or three-dimensional Eulerian based general-purpose computer software, Prediction of free field ground shock parameters and waveforms, Application of ground shock loads on structures and soil structure interaction phenomena, Prediction of weapon penetration and perforation of concrete and other materials and prediction of weapon penetration paths in soil and through structures, Prediction of cratering and ejecta from near surface, surface, and below ground detonations. Prediction of debris scatter from explosions inside of structures, Prediction of fragmentation patterns, fragmentation density, maximum fragment size, and maximum fragment velocity caused by the explosion of cased munitions, Calculation of the dynamic response of steel structures, of composite reinforced concrete structures, and of composite structural steel and concrete structures, caused by blast effects. Response calculations shall incorporate nonlinear material behavior and strain rate effects. Simple single degree of freedom and multi-degree of freedom analysis may be required. Calculation of in-structure shock caused by conventional or nuclear weapon effects using multi-degree of freedom models, Calculation of shock response spectra and determination of equipment fragility spectra. Analysis of multi-degree of freedom shock isolation systems with a rigid or flexible mass and linear or nonlinear isolators, Analysis of ground shock and structure response using general-purpose computer programs capable of modeling a combined soil and structure continuum. The analysis shall incorporate material nonlinearities, Analysis of impact, penetration, and perforation phenomena using general-purpose computer programs capable of modeling a continuum of steel, concrete, and soil materials. The analysis shall incorporate both material and geometric nonlinearities, Development of chemical and biological protection concepts. Analysis of system thermal response and heat flow using continuum models. Reliability analysis of mechanical and electrical systems and reliability based weapon effects prediction and structural analysis. Capabilities to investigate, analyze, and test for electromagnetic pulse (EMP), high-altitude EMP (HEMP), effects and recommend/design countermeasures to mitigate effects, Sampling, testing, or investigation of facility construction materials to determine constitutive properties. Testing, instrumentation and documentation of testing of structural components against blast, fragment, ballistic, forced entry, and explosively formed penetrator threats, and for crash testing of vehicle barriers. 2. Antiterrorism/Force Protection, Security Engineering, and Vulnerability Assessments. Formulation of plans or planning procedures for integrated security engineering solutions to mitigating complex, multiple tactic threats to assets, including combinations of criminal, terrorist, and/or espionage related threats. Solutions must be integrated across building, sitework, and electronic security system components. Provide capabilities to investigate and analyze protective measures for acoustical eavesdropping threats as defined in the TM 5-853 series.
