The minimum order amount for each contract period shall be $50,000. Task orders could include performance of any part or all operations necessary to perform surveys, designs, and construction quality assurance (construction inspection) for various water resources projects within Louisiana. Surveys required may consist of but are not limited to any part, one or all of the following activities: boundary surveys, topographic/planimetric surveys, magnetometer surveys, hydrographic/ bathymetric surveys, horizontal and vertical control surveys, design surveys, development of graphical representations of survey data collected, construction layout surveys, and surveys for quantity computations. Design activities required may consist of but are not limited to any part, one or all of the following activities: design water resources project features, prepare construction specifications, prepare construction plans (drawings), prepare landrights work maps, prepare cost estimates, prepare bid schedules, and prepare design folders. Quality assurance activities required may consist of but are not limited to any part, one, or all of the following activities: construction layout, quantity computations, development of as built drawings, field testing and sampling of construction materials, safety compliance checks of construction activities, and development of accurate and complete quality assurance reports.

SELECTION CRITERIA. Firms meeting the preselection criteria will be evaluated and ranked using the following selection criteria: (1) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required. Evaluation will be based on the extent of directly related experience in performing surveying, design, and quality assurance (construction inspection) of the types of projects described; specialized education at the university level, and all other applicable education, training, and certifications. Consideration will be given to those firms with knowledge of and direct experience in the application of the described requirements in the coastal marsh environment in Louisiana. Examples of work shall be provided for review, as well as a description of the type work performed. Previous work samples will be evaluated based on complexity of work performed. (2) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance. Evaluation will be based upon the number of qualified personnel and their knowledge and level of experience associated with the requirements above, and their availability to perform work on this contract. (3) Capacity to accomplish the work. Evaluation will be based upon the number of personnel available in the disciplines described above, the quantity of existing work under contract, and the schedules for completion of the existing work.
