Firms will be selected based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The San Francisco Distric t plans to procure one unrestricted contract for the design of the Upper Guadalupe Flood Control Project and one Small Business Set-aside contract for the design of Reach 12 of this same project. The project extends approximately from the Union Pacific Rai lroad Bridge to the Blossom Hill Road Bridge along the Guadalupe River located in San Jose, California. Services required include preparation of plans and specifications and supporting basis of design, cost estimate, bid schedule, and engineering considera tions and instruction for field personnel, and services during construction phase (optional). The contractor shall be responsible for design and drawings using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and delivering any two-dimensional drawings in Autodesk AutoCAD CADD software, release 2000 or higher as well as delivering any three dimensional dr awings in Bentley MicroStation software, Version 8.1 or higher, electronic digital format. The government will only accept the final product for full operation, without conversion or reformatting, in the Autodesk release 2000 format, or the Bentley MicroSt ation format Version 8.1, and on the target platform specified herein. The target platform is a Pentium 200 MHz, 32 MB Ram, and 8 GB Hard Drive with an NT 4.0 operating system. Advanced application software used in preparing drawings shall be delivered in Version 8.1 Microstation electronic digital format. Drawings produced by scanning drawings of records or containing photographic images shall be delivered in a raster format compatible with the native Intergraph IRAS, Version 5, in electronic digital forma t. Drawing files shall also be delivered in Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) CCITT Group 4 raster format. The specifications will be produced in SPECSINTACT with Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) using the Corps of Engineers Construction Guide Specifications. Specification files shall also be received delivered in Adobe Acrobat Portable Data Format (PDF) or PostScript electronic digital format. Responding firms must show computer and modem capability for accessing the Criteri a Bulletin Board System (CBBS) and the Design Review and Checking System (Dr. Checks). The estimate will be prepared using the Corps of Engineers Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (M-CACES Gold) (software provided by the government) or similar software . This announcement will result in the award of two contracts,one contract on an unrestricted basis for all except Reach 12 of the system. Reach 12 will be set-aside for small businesses. In the event there are not at least 3 highly qualified small busine sses submitting for Reach 12, award of all reaches could be made on an unrestricted basis. The NAICS code for this announcement is 541330, which states the business size standard to be considered a small business is a maximum of $4.0 million of average ann ual receipts for its preceding 3 fiscal years. All interested Architect-Engineers are reminded that in accordance with provisions of PL 95-507, they will be expected to place subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent consistent with the efficient perf ormance of the contract with small and small disadvantaged firms. If a large business is selected, it must comply with FAR 52-219.9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on tha t part of the work it plans to subcontract. The following subcontracting goals are the minimal acceptable goals to be included in the subcontracting plan. Of the subcontracted work, 57.2% to small business, 10% to small disadvantaged business (subset of sm all business), 10% to women-owned small business (subset of small business), 3% to HUBZone Small Business (subset of small business), and 3% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (subset of small business). If the firms selected for these submit s a plan with lesser goals; it must submit rationale of why the above goals were not met. A detailed plan is not required to be submitted with the SF 330; however, the plans to do so should be specified in Block H of the SF 330. To be eligible for contrac t award a firm or joint venture must be registered in the DoD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the Internet Site at http://ccr.edi.disa.mil or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. This work wil l include all architectural-engineering (A-E) and related services necessary to complete the design, and for A-E services during the construction phase (option). 2) PROJECT INFORMATION: Work under these contracts shall include preparation of preliminary and final engineering analyses, designs, cost estimates, final plans and specifications, basis of design, and engineering considerations and instruction for field personnel (ECIFP) reports, and services during the construction phase. The Upper Guadalupe Flood Control Project is divided into several reaches, beginning downstream with Reach 7 and ending upstream with Reach 12. The design shall include a continuous open channel bypass approximately 5,000 feet long with a diversion weir at the upstream end, two reinforced concrete vehicular bridges over the open channel bypass as well as a reinforced concrete culvert adjacent to the existing Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Bridge. Additional culverts will be included in the design for Ross and Canoas Creeks near their confluence to the Guadalupe River. The design shall also include three short bypass channels with entrance and exit structures, river channel widening, levees, floodwalls, maintenance roads, recreation trails, gabions, crib-wal l and bio-technical bank protection, storm water drainage, utility relocation, invert stabilization structures, maintenance access ramps, fencing, riparian mitigation, landscaping, and temporary irrigation. The design of Reach 12 shall include the relocation and rebuilding of two levees, channel widening and realignment, wetland mitigation, and several acres of riparian forest mitigation The design shall also include the design of maintenance roads, recreati on trails, gabion bank protection, storm water drainage, utility relocation, invert stabilization structures, and temporary irrigation. Hydraulic analysis, geomorphic and sediment transport studies, and floodplain analysis may be included under both contra cts to support this design effort. The plans and specifications will include environmental protection requirements including diversion of river flows during construction, water quality control, erosion control measures, and measures to protect endangered f ish during construction. The A-E firm shall coordinate with state, county, and local governments as well as other organizations or groups involved in the development and design of the proposed project. Firms desiring consideration shall be experienced in e ngineering and design and have sound knowledge of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers principles and procedures for flood damage reduction, recreation, and environmental restoration projects. The estimated construction cost of the Upper Guadalupe Flood Control Pr oject is between 100 and 150 million dollars, and the estimated construction cost of Reach 12 is between 10 and 15 million dollars. Construction of these projects will be a phased effort conducted over an approximate time of 9- 10 years. 3) SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance.
