- Description
- The Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (WRDA 2007) and the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (WRRDA 2014) mandate that specific project studies shall be subject to a peer review by an independent panel of experts. In accordance with WRDA 2007 and WRRDA 2014, the scope of these peer reviews may include a review of the economic and environmental assumptions and projections of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) studies, as well as, the analyses of planning, biology, economics, environment, hydrology, and engineering from the studies. USACE intends to negotiate Multiple Award Task Order Contracts on a competitive basis to obtain these peer review services. These services will require the contractors to provide management and/or technical services in support of independent external peer reviews (IEPRs) for water resource projects consistent with WRDA 2007, WRRDA 2014 and USACE guidance. The contractors will be required to establish a panel of experts to conduct peer reviews for each of the project studies in accordance with the National Academy of Science's policy for selecting committee members, as dictated in WRDA 2007. The panel of experts will be required to conduct a peer review for each project study, provide an assessment of the adequacy and acceptability of the methods used by USACE, review any public comments submitted to USACE, and submit a final report that includes the panel's full analysis of the project study. The contracts will have a total ceiling price of $25,000,000.00 over the life of the contracts (one base year and not to exceed four optional years). All requests for proposals (RFPs) will be in writing and reference the solicitation number, W912HQ-15-R-0001. Anticipated release date of the RFP will be on or about 17 November 2014. It is estimated that proposals will be due 30 days from the solicitation release date; the exact date will be notated in the solicitation. All responsible sources may submit an offer, which will be considered by this agency. All offerors must meet qualifications as outlined in WRDA 2007, H.R. 1495-51, section (l)(3) ELIGIBLE ORGANIZATION, which includes being a 501(c)(3) organization. The point of contact for this pre-solicitation notice is Sarah Lugo, sarah.r.lugo@usace.army.mil.
