BOX 532711, LOS ANGELES CA 90053-2325 Description 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks AE Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The servi ces will consist of civil engineering, including geotechnical environmental engineering for Indefinite Delivery Contract for Civil Works Projects at Various Locations in the Los Angeles District. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of 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 that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for this contract are that a mini mum of 60% of the contractor??????s intended subcontract amount will be placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), 10%, woman-owned small businesses (WOB) 10.0%, HUBZone 3% and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Bu sinesses 3%. The plan is not required with this submittal. Yearly cumulative amount of individual task orders per contract not to exceed $1,000,000.00. The contracts will include an option for extension for second and third year with additional amount f or each optional year not to exceed $1,000,000.00. If contract amount for the base year period or preceding option year periods has been exhausted or nearly exhausted the Government has the option to exercise contract options before the expiration of the base year period or preceding option year periods. The estimated contract start date is September 2004 for a period of 12 months (through September 2005). Work is subject to availability of funds. Estimated construction cost is not applicable. The Nort h American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this action is 541370. 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, as determined relative to the employees office location (not the location of the work). To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the DoD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet sit e at http://ccr.gov or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The work and services shall consist of engineering and design for coastal and inland flood control projects. Typical studies i nclude field investigations, evaluations of data and complex geotechnical foundation conditions including liquefaction potential, seismic evaluation of large dams including finite element analysis and static seismic deformations of embankments, development of earthquake ground motions and seismic analysis parameters, complex ground water modeling studies, and dewatering systems, and geotechnical engineering risk assessment analyses. Studies will also include soil-structure interaction, geologic studies, fi ssure and faulting studies, seepage analysis for dams, spillway thermal studies, materials engineering including concrete, roller compacted concrete and soil cement slope protection designs, forensic geotechnical and materials engineering evaluations, and rock, earth-fill and materials construction engineering consultation and testing, and offshore geotechnical investigations and designs fo r dredged channels, breakwaters, seawalls, beach replenishment, and confined dredged materials. The firm will have the capacity to provide geotechnical support during District flood and earthquake emergency response activities such as erosion protection ev aluations and slope stability, seepage, stress and deformation, and liquefaction analyses for embankments and levees. The firm also will have the capacity to perform offshore vibracore drilling and sampling, geophysical testing and interpretations, and ge otechnical sampling and testing for large dams in highly active seismic environments. It is noted that a small portion of geotechnical work is anticipated for military projects. The Government will provide fully defined requirements for each task order, which may include one or more of the following: performance-based specifications, conceptual drawings and specifications, and MicroStation generated drawings. The contractor may be required to participate in the development of the final scope of work for individual task orders and be required to provide incidental technical or engineering services such as quality assurance testing for rock, soil, and concrete materials, detailed drawings generated in MicroStation, surveying, hazardous and toxic waste eval uations, and other submittals in support of investigations, design and construction. The firm selected for this contract will be expected to submit a quality control/quality assurance plan and to adhere to it during the work and services required under th e contract. In addition, the firm selected will submit a description of the firms Design Quality Control Plan including a Design Quality Assurance Plan of subcontractor work. The plan must be prepared and approved by the Government, as a condition of co ntract award, but is not required with this submission. 3.
