Description: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) requests proposals for the provision of Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Evaluation Reports based on evaluations of ecosystems and/or lands of various FWS National Wildlife Refuges nationwide using HGM methodology. These reports will include ecosystem restoration and management options for ecosystems and/or lands of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The size of the documents will vary based on the size and complexity of the ecosystem and or the individual refuge, and may require multiple tasks and or volumes. The Contractor shall furnish all personnel, equipment, materials and transportation necessary to complete each task identified. This solicitation announcement is for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Provided there are enough qualified/responsible small business firms responding there is the potential that a multiple award task order contract will be awarded. Contract performance period will be a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods. The total performance period will be 60 months if all options are exercised. The minimum guarantee is $10,000.00 per contract over the life of each contract. Task Order minimum and maximum limits are $3,000.00 and $200,000.00 respectively. The "estimated" maximum (non-guaranteed) dollar value for each contract is $5,000,000.00 over five-years. Task Orders could range in magnitude from $2,000.00 up to $200,000.00 per job. Evaluations of conservation and management strategies for ecosystems in North America have evolved to incorporate information, and base landscape-scale decisions, on: 1) formative processes and basic structural properties including geomorphology, soils, and topography; 2) basic ecological processes that created and sustained communities especially hydrology, disturbance mechanisms, and community dynamics; and 3) relative degree and type of alteration to structure and processes. This landscape-scale evaluation is embodied within the contemporary "Hydrogeomorphic methodological (HGM)" approach. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 541620 and the size standard is $7.0 million. This is a total set aside for small business. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered. Solicitation number 60181AQ028 will be posted in approximately 17 days and may be viewed through a link to the National Business Center Interior Electronic Acquisition System-Electronic Commerce at "http://www.fedbizopps.gov" or "http://www.nbc.gov". Interested contractors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and complete Online Representations and Certifications (ORCA) at "http://www.bpn.gov". Availability of Solicitation documents and specifications is anticipated to be on or about May 3, 2010. Proposals will be evaluated on the following rating elements and interested parties that submit a proposal must address, in depth, the following evaluation factors to be considered for award. They are as follows: (1) Capabilities to meet project needs (30%); (2) Technical Approach for a Sample Project (30%); (3) Past Performance on similar contracts with government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules (30%); and, (4) Cost Proposal for the Sample Project (10%).
