- 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: These contracts are 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.Th e AE contracts are required to support planning, design and environmental compliance within or assigned to the Kansas City District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.The contracts will involve the preparation of various civil works planning and design documents , environmental documents, studies, and specifications for various civil works projects, and secondarily, may also be utilized to support planning and design at military installations. This solicitation will be used to award up to three indefinite deliver y contracts each contract will be negotiated and awarded, each with a total contract period not to exceed five years. The maximum contract value for the unrestricted contracts will not exceed $12,000,000 per contract: $6,000,000 as the base contract valu e with two $3,000,000 capacity options. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price task orders. The contracts may include task orders with options for planning, engineering and design, checking of shop drawings and design during construction. Award of the first contract is anticipated in fourth quarter of FY 2008. The method used to allocate task orders among contracts will include consideration of experience and user needs, capacity to accomplish the order in the required timeframe, performance and quality of deliverables, and proximity of the firm to the project. Funds are not presently available for the contracts. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for these contracts, it must co mply 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 the Kansas City District are: (1) at least 51.2% of a contractors intended subcontract amount be placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged businesses (SDB) and women-owned small businesses (WOSB); (2) at least 8.8% of a contractors intended subcontract amount be placed with SDB; (3) at least 7.3% of a contractors intended sub contract amount be placed with WOSB; and (4) 3.1% placed with HUBZone small businesses, and 2.0% placed with service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses. The plan is not required with this submittal. The small business standard for this effort is bas ed on the average annual receipts of the concern and its affiliates for the preceding three (3) fiscal years. A business is small for this effort if its average annual receipts do not exceed $4 million. The wages and benefits of service employees (see F AR 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 co ntract award, a firm must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at www.ccr.gov or by contacting the DOD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. Task orders may be assign ed for any work, civil or military, within the jurisdiction of the Northwestern Division but the selection will be based on civil criteria within the Kansas City District. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION. Projects may include the preparation of civil works project justification reports, water resources and related planning studies, engineering design of plans and specifications for construction, documents associated with engineering during construction, environmental compliance documents, and independent te chnical review. Projects will include planning or design documents for an array of purposes, either singly or combined, including flood damage reduction, river /stream bank stabilization, river and stream hydraulics, environmental ecosystem restoration, wetland design and restoration, water supply and distribution planning and design, environmental compliance, cultural resources, employment of geographic informat ion systems (GIS), water resources planning, public involvement, dam safety analyses and design, socioeconomic analyses, value engineering, and engineering and design disciplines required for the various project purposes. Projects may also require in some cases hazardous, toxic, and radiological waste (HTRW) evaluation work. The contracts issued under this requirement will include continuing funding clauses required for civil works programs. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA. The selection criteria are liste d below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-e are primary. Criteria f-h are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers among technically equal firms. a. Specialized experie nce and technical competence in: (1) Flood damage to include levee, floodwall, channel modification, and streambank stabilization projects; a.) Planning experience to include preparation of planning level documents including reconnaissance, feasibility, or reevaluation reports. b.) Design experience including preparation of design level documents and plans and specifications c.) Geotechnical, structural, civil, and application of other pertinent engineering disciplines. d.) Soci oeconomic analysis and incremental economic analysis including HEC-FDA and/or other professionally accepted computational economic analysis tools e.) Application of risk and uncertainty methods and statistical analyses for evaluating feasibility, relia bility, and performance of projects. f.) Preparation of NEPA documents including Section 404 and Section 401 permit documents, environmental and cultural resource surveys and evaluation reports. (2) Ecosystem restoration to include wetland rest oration, stream and river riparian restoration, and stream and river aquatic restoration a.) Planning experience to include preparation of planning level documents including reconnaissance, feasibility, or reevaluation reports. b.) Design exper ience including preparation of design level documents and plans and specifications c.) Hydraulic, geotechnical, civil, and application of other pertinent engineering disciplines. d.)
