- 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act (PL 92-582) as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiations based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District proposes to obtain services for up to two multidiscipline Indefinite Delivery Architect-Engineer contracts for Engineering Field Survey Services. Engineering field surveys and other related surveying services are required for various types of civil works projects assigned to Districts within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Great Lakes and Ohio River Division geographical boundaries which include the Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Huntington, Louisville, Nashville and Pittsburgh Districts. The District and Division boundaries are shown at http://www.lrh.usace.army.mil. The majority of the work under this contract will be done within the boundaries of the Huntington District. If work is required outside the Huntington District, wage rates will be furnished and new line items included by modification. Up to two indefinite delivery contracts will be negotiated and awarded with a base year and four option years. The contract amount will not exceed $2,500,000.00 over the life of the contract. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed price task orders. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in 2011. The criteria to be used in allocating task orders among the contracts will be based on the following: (1) contract minimums - task orders will be distributed to assure the guaranteed minimums are met; (2) past performance on previous task orders - the quality and timeliness of work delivered on prior jobs under the current contract; (3) current capacity to accomplish the task order in the required time; (4) unique specialized experience; and (5) equitable distribution of work among the firms. North American Industrial Classification System (NAICs) code is 541370, which has a size standard of $4,500,000.00 in average annual receipts. This announcement is open to small businesses only. To be considered eligible for set-aside procedures, firms must clearly indicate on their SF 330 appropriate certification as a small business (self certification). Quality Control Plans will be required at the time of award. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under the resulting contract must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act, as determined relative to the employee's 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 site at http://www.ccr.gov or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-866-606-8220. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Engineering services will consist of horizontal and vertical control surveys, Hazardous and Toxic Radioactive Waste (HTRW) surveys, surface mine and underground mine surveys, structural deformation studies, route surveys, quantity surveys, land surveys, construction layout surveys, hydrographic surveys, geodetic surveys, and real property surveys of Government-owned land tracts, such as levees, reservoirs, or dredge disposal areas. The firm may be required to establish or re-establish corners, monuments and boundary lines, or for the purpose of describing fixed improvements, or platting or dividing parcels. These services will be used as necessary to support engineering studies to include design and construction, planning, operation and maintenance of navigation and flood control projects, real estate, and emergency management activities. All travel costs computed in regard to a particular task order will be measured from the District office or the firm's office, whichever is closer to the work site. Surveys will require personnel and equipment necessary to obtain surveys of second and third order accuracy (NGS standards). Hydrographic survey capabilities must meet requirements of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers EM 1110-2-1003 Hydrographic Surveying dated 1 April 2004. Hydrographic surveys shall use totally automated systems with the capability of positioning by use of a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). Facilities must be capable of producing topographic mapping that conforms to the National Map Accuracy Standards. Firms must be able to submit survey and mapping data in the formats requested by the government. These formats include, but are not limited to Trimble Business Center, Rinex, Adobe PDF, FGDC-STD-001-1998 Metadata, Bentley 3D-Microstation, Bentley InRoads, Autodesk AutoCAD and Civil3D format 2007 or greater, Hypack, MS-Word, MS-Excel, ESRI ArcGIS Version 9.2 or higher, Land XML, and ASCII. The files may be requested on CD ROM, DVD, USB Hard Drive or other electronic transfer. The firm will also be required to provide electronic copies of all raw data files from GNSS receivers and data collectors in their unedited format. In addition to the above formats, firms must have e-mail capability for project updates, status reports, file transfer abilities (FTP), etc. The government will only accept the final product, without conversion or reformatting, in the stated formats. Firms must have the capability to comply with all current U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manuals including EM-1110-1-1003, EM-1110-1-1005, EM-1110-1-2909 & EM-1110-1-1002. Firms must also have the capability of complying with the latest release of The CAD/BIM Technology Center A/E/C CAD Standard, Huntington District CAD Standard Supplement, and Huntington District Drafting Manual (http://www.lrh.usace.army.mil/ct/cad/) and with the latest release of the Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment. Firms must have the capability of using the GNSS receivers for geodetic control surveys, in addition to conventional surveying mapping instruments suitable for the stated accuracies. Work may require using the metric system. 3.
