Description

***Amendment 0001 to Synopsis (24 Aug 2024)*** 1.�� �SYNOPSIS: This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size, with a target goal of six (6) total contracts being awarded, three unrestricted awards, and three (3) awards in a Small Business Reserve. The proposed services, which will be obtained by negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contracts, are for a variety of Architect/Engineer (A/E) services within a primary boundary of the Nashville District which encompasses the Cumberland and Tennessee River watersheds and an absolute boundary of the Great Lakes and Ohio Rivers Division and the State of Tennessee. Projects outside this area may be added at the Government's discretion upon agreement of the A/E firm. Each Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will be awarded with an individual contract number, using a single solicitation number, a minimum task order limit of $15,000.00 and a maximum task order limit of $5,000,00, and the not-to-exceed total MATOC shared capacity of $25,000,000. �Work will be issued by negotiated FFP task orders using the Task Order Requirement Notice (TORN) process. Firm(s) that are selected for negotiation of a contract may be required to submit additional information at a later time for use in the evaluation of qualifications for specific Task Orders. A performance period of five (5) years for the contract is planned with no options. The period of performance for task orders issued under these contracts may extend beyond the five-year ordering period. These multiple-award firm-fixed-price A/E IDIQ contracts for engineering services are under NAICS code 541330 and PSC code C219, Architecture & Engineering-General. Up to six (6) firms will be selected to be a part of the MATOC � three (3) unrestricted and three (3) small business awards. If the Contracting Officer determines during the selection process that fewer or more contracts should be awarded, based upon the selection criteria, the Contracting Officer has the discretion of adjusting that number, or awarding none at all. Once selected, the following factors will be used in deciding which selected firm will be utilized for task orders: (1) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, including, where appropriate, experience in Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) Engineering and Design Services, Water Management, and Hydraulic Engineering and Design Services; (2) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services; (3) Capacity to accomplish quality work in the required time and budget; (4) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules; (5) Geographic knowledge; (6) Other appropriate evaluation criteria specific to the task order requirement. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar completion schedules and overlapping delivery dates.� In accordance with FAR 36.604 and the supplements thereto, and upon final acceptance or termination, all task orders above $35,000 will receive a performance evaluation. A performance evaluation may be prepared for lesser task orders and interim performance evaluations may be prepared at any time. Performance evaluations will be maintained for use in future source selections for A/E Services. 2.�� �PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION: The selected offeror will be solely responsible for the work that they produce. The A/E shall provide multidisciplinary technical services to execute this contract. An emphasis will be placed on Water Resources Engineering services for the evaluation, analysis, and design of water resources related projects including but not limited to dams, levees, rivers, lakes, detention structures, and other facilities. A/E services may include, but not be limited to the following activities: engineering analysis to support watershed evaluation, feasibility analysis of flood risk reduction and flood warning projects, statistical and probability analyses, risk and uncertainty evaluations, hypothetical storm development, period-of-record evaluations, gaged and un-gaged basin evaluations, use of programs that support water resources engineering, channel design, fluvial geomorphology assessments, ecosystem/channel restoration, design of hydraulic structures and environments, and assessment of existing regional water supply systems, to name a few. Additional A/E support services may include District Quality Control (DQC) reviews, Safety Assurance Reviews, Agency Technical Reviews (ATR), and training.� Task orders will be issued with a project/site-specific scope of work (e.g., Statement of Work, Performance Work Statement, Statement of Objectives) under the general scope of the contract. The most highly qualified firm will be selected for each task order using the TORN process. A Request for Proposal will be issued to the firm found most highly qualified for each task order. Typically, Request for Proposals issued for individual task orders will include a Statement of Work, Performance Work Statement, or Statement of Objectives that describe the location(s), character and extent of services required, any technical requirements in addition to the requirement contained within Section C of the IDIQ contract, and a schedule. 3.�� �SELECTION CRITERIA: This acquisition is for A/E services, and is procured in accordance with the Brooks Act as implemented in Subpart 36.6 of the FAR.

Reference information must include project name, location, owner�s name, point of contact, telephone number, and email address. Also include any ratings, letters, awards, etc. which support past performance on these projects. Performance evaluations will not be counted against the one hundred (100) page limit for the entire SF330.� The Government is not required to seek other information on the past performance of a firm if none is available from CPARS, or no additional information (ex. PPQs) were submitted. e.�� �GEOGRAPHIC KNOWLEDGE: Firms must be able to show knowledge of hydrology and hydraulics within the LRN AOR and submit in SF330 Section H. f.�� �SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION: Demonstrate the extent of participation of small businesses (including women owned, HUBZone, small disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran owned businesses) and historically black colleges/universities and minority institutions (HBCU/MI) measured as a percentage of the total anticipated contracted effort, regardless of whether the small business is a prime contractor, subcontractor, or joint venture partner.
