- 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. A firm will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualification for the required work and s ervices. Architectural-engineering (A-E) services are required to complete the design for a new traffic bridge, and adjoining approach roadways, across the American River downstream from Folsom Dam, Folsom CA. A-E services during the construction phase m ay also be included. The design will progress in phases resulting in plans, technical specifications, cost estimates, calculations, basis for design, and other related documents necessary to award a construction contract. A firm fixed price contract will be negotiated for this effort. This announcement is open to all firms regardless of size. The NAICS code is 541330, which has a small business size standard of a maximum of $4.0 million of average annual receipts for its previous 3 fiscal years.

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. The contractor shall be responsible for design and drawings using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD). Project drawings will be required to be delivered in either Bentley MicroStation software, Version 8 or AutoDesk AutoCAD 2004 software formats. T he contractor must have the capability to provide files in either format without the need for conversion or reformatting, on the target platform specified herein. The target platform is a Pentium based PC or workstation with the latest version of Microsof t Windows 2000 operating system. Digital terrain models and civil engineering design files shall be compatible with Bentley InRoads software version 8.04 electronic digital format on a MicroStation platform. Drawings produced by scanning drawings of reco rd or containing photographic images shall be delivered in both a raster format compatible with the Raster Manager built into MicroStation Version 8 and AutoCAD 2004. Raster files shall be georeferenced. CADD files shall be prepared in accordance with th e A/E/C CADD Standard Release 2.0, CADD/GIS Technology Center, Internet accessible at http://tsc.wes.army.mil. Drawing files shall also be delivered in Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) CCITT Group 4 raster format. The specif ications shall be prepared using SPECSINTACT with Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) using the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). SPECSINTACT is available at no cost at http://si.ksc.nasa.gov/specsintact/index.asp. Specification fil es shall also be delivered in Adobe Acrobat Portable Data Format (PDF) electronic digital format. Project specifications will be published to the PDF file format using Adobe Acrobat and the SPECSINTACT PDF/Publish output. The cost estimates will be prepa red using the Corps of Engineers Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (M-CACES) with the Government providing the software or similar software. Responding firms must indicate their computer, modem and Internet capability for accessing the COEs Crit eria Bulletin Board System (CBBS) and the DrChecks design review system. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Work and services is for the design of a multi-lane traffic bridge across the American River downstream of the Folsom Dam. Related work includes new roadway approach pavements and may include traffic intersection modifications, u tilities relocation (including possible relocation of high voltage transmission lines), and re-vegetation and habitat restoration. A-E services may also be required for field investigations, topographic surveys, subsurface exploration to obtain geotechnic al design criteria, hydraulic analysis using HEC-RAS and/or 2D model, sediment transport analysis and scour analysis. Important features include minimizing the construction period, reducing noise impacts and minimizing air emissions during the constructio n phase, sedimentation control, minimize habitat disturbance, and mitigation for special-status wildlife species. Also required may be engineering services during the construction phase such as shop drawing review, preparation of as-built documents, and o ther site visits as required. Firms desiring consideration will be expected to be accomplished in bridge and road engineering and design and have a sound knowledge of Corps of Engineers, Federal, State (CALTRANS) and County, criteria, principles and proce dures. The estimated construction cost is $25,000,000 to $100,000,000. The design effort is targeted to be completed not later than the Fall of 2005. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance. Criteria (A) through (E) are primary; criteria (F) through (H) are secondary and will only be used as a tiebreaker among technically equal firms. (A). Spec ialized experience and technical competence of the firm and consultants in the following: (1) Demonstrated recent (within past 5 years) experience in the preparation of engineering analysis, designs, cost estimates and plans and specification for large tra ffic (long span, high profile, waterway crossing) bridges and road designs in California.
