- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District (NWK), is issuing this notice to determine the interest, availability, and capability of architect-engineer (A-E) firms to provide civil works design services to support projects within USACE�s Kansas City District and its assigned area of operations, including military installations. The contracts may also be utilized in support of Military and Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) missions and may also be made available to support projects of other districts in USACE�s Northwestern Division. A more detailed description of the required services is provided below under �Scope of Required Services.� The anticipated contract award date is early 2026. This is a market survey for research and planning purposes. It is not a request for proposals. Acquisition and Contracting Approach The anticipated contract type is a Multiple-Award, Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Task Order contract (MATOC). The Government has a target to award seven contracts. Selection and award of the MATOCs will follow qualifications-based procedures in accordance with the Selection of Architects and Engineers statute (40 U.S.C. �� 1101-1104, commonly referred to as the Brooks Act). Work will be issued via negotiated, firm-fixed-price task orders. Selection and award of task orders will also follow qualifications-based procedures per the Brooks Act and applicable regulations, including Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 36.6. The MATOC pool will have a shared capacity limit of $95 Million (i.e., the collective value of all task orders issued under the MATOC pools will not exceed $95 Million). In terms of the period of performance, it is anticipated that the contracts will have a five-year ordering period during which task orders may be issued. The Government will also have an option to extend the ordering period for two additional years. Extending the ordering period will not increase the overall capacity limit of $95 Million. If the overall capacity limit is reached at any point, then the ordering period will immediately end at that point. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541330, Engineering Services, which has a small business size standard of $25.5 Million. Small businesses are encouraged to participate. This acquisition may be reserved in part for small business concerns or a specific type of small business concern such as 8(a) participants, HUBZone small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or women-owned small businesses. The responses to this notice will guide the Government�s decision regarding the extent and type of small business reserve that is utilized for this acquisition. Scope of Required Services The required A-E services will relate to civil design, including but not limited to flood risk management, design and construction (i.e. dams, levees, channels, roadways, etc.), and eco-restoration projects. Services may include but are not limited to the preparation of civil works project reports, Post Authorization Change Requests (PACR), engineering, design of plans and specifications for construction, surveying, engineering during construction, environmental compliance documents, independent technical review, risk assessments, cost engineering and other engineering support of civil works projects. Projects will include design documents for an array of purposes, either singly or combined, including, flood risk management, pump station and operations projects, ecosystem restoration , associated river /stream bank stabilization, river and stream hydraulics. Projects may require water and water-related computational analyses, studies or projects, reservoir operations, river, channel, and stream hydraulics & hydraulic analysis of open channel flow, including steady and unsteady state conditions, using HEC and other industry accepted software; water supply planning or design documentation; and reservoir sedimentation analyses using HEC and other industry accepted software. Services may include consulting, analyses, and design services including expert elicitation for risk methodology; risk analyses and screenings; issue evaluation studies; reservoir water control manual updates; base condition risk assessments; safety modification studies; construction sequencing, techniques, activities, evaluations and methodologies; periodic assessments; determination of total and incremental risk reduction benefits that can be realized from corrective actions; and other studies and evaluations under the dam safety, levee safety and flood risk management programs. The projects may include all necessary environmental compliance, cultural resources, employment of geographic information systems (GIS), socioeconomic analyses, value engineering, and engineering and design disciplines required for the various project purposes. In some cases, projects may also require independent expert reviews, Phase I hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) evaluations, CADD, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and GIS deliverables. Project-specific requirements will be described in each individual task order�s statement of work. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar completion schedules and overlapping delivery dates.
