C -- ARCHITECT-ENGINEER SERVICES FOR AN INDEFINITE DELIVERY CONTRACT FOR GENERAL HYDROLOGY & HYDRAULIC DESIGN ACTIVITIES FOR LOUISVILLE DISTRICT CIVIL WORKS PROJECTS POC Contact Mrs. Robin Woodruff, (502) 582-5598 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: The proposed services will be obtained by a negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contract. The maximum amount of the contract shall not exceed $500,000.00, and no individual delivery order shall exceed $150,000.00. The contract period is one year from date of award, with an option to extend one year with an additional ceiling amount of $500,000.00. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Activities will predominantly consist of general hydrologic and hydraulic evaluation studies with supporting documentation and report preparation and/or design of related flood control or water conveyance appurtenances. Studies can include initial assessment, reconnaissance, feasibility, or PED (planning, engineering, and design) level of detail including development of plans and specifications. Expected projects could involve large navigation projects; urban studies involving major storm, sanitary, and combination sewer flow combined with overland flow; and metropolitan or local flooding studies that can be prevented by structural measures, such as levees, channel improvements, detention basins, pump stations, etc, or by on-structural measures, such as flood-proofing or limited landuse. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: Submittals will be evaluated against the general evaluation factors listed in Note 24 in descending order of importance. Specific requirements for this project are as follows and must be identified in the SF 255: Expertise in the fields of Civil, Hydraulic, Hydrologic, Electrical, Mechanical, Structural, Sanitary, Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering along with a knowledgeable and experienced individual in testing and abatement of HTRW issues; field surveys and field collection of water samples and water quality data; a designer and checker in each specified field of engineering with at least one in each field professionally registered. In-house experience with programs developed by the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), particularly HEC-1, HEC-2, HEC- 5, and Flood Frequency Analysis (HEC-FFA), Interior Flood Hydrology Package (HEC-IFH), is required along with having the capabilities to develop models for rural or urban areas using SCS and other techniques such as the SWMM model. Additional experience is required in providing hydrologic input and output from HEC-1 and HEC- 2 programs that is compatible with HEC-FDA package. Firms will be required to have experience in one- dimensional unsteady flow through a network of open channels such as (UNET) or other similar programs. Construction cost estimating must be accomplished using the Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (M- CACES) software (software and database will be furnished). Specifications must be electronically developed using Corps of Engineers Guide Specifications (CEGS). Drawing development may be by any CADD system but submittals must be in accurately-translated Intergraph Microstation format unless otherwise specified. A formalized project specific Quality Control (QC) Plan must be prepared and submitted identifying the process that the prime firm and consultants will follow to minimize errors and omissions for the activities as specified above. Only resumes identifying the professionalism and specialized experience of the design group are necessary. Other available personnel may be specified in paragraph 10 of the SF 255. See Note 1. 4. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: a. See Note 24 for general submission requirements. Firms which are interested and meet the requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit one completed SF 255 (Revision 11-92), U.S. Government A/E and Related Services for Specific Projects to the office shown above. SF 255 (Revision 10- 83) is obsolete and only the 11-92 edition of SF 255 will be accepted. All responses on SF 255 to this announcement must be received no later than 4:30 pm Local Time on the 30th calendar day after the date of this publication to be considered for selection. The day following this CBD announcement counts as day number 1. If the 30th day falls on Saturday, Sunday or a U. S. Gov't. holiday, the deadline is the close of business on the next Gov't. business day. b. It is requested that interested firms list the fee amount and date of all DOD contracts awarded during the last 12 months to the firm and all subsidiaries in Block 9 of the SF 255. c. Responding firms must submit a current and accurate SF 254 for each proposed consultant. Additionally, all responding firms which do not have a current (within the past 12 months) SF 254 on file with the North Pacific Division, Corps of Engineers, must also furnish a completed SF 254. If a SF 254 is included, only the 11- 92 edition of the form will be accepted. The business size status (large, small and/or minority) should be indicated in Block 3 of the SF 255. Definition: A concern is small if the annual receipts averaged over the past 3 fiscal years do not exceed $2.5 million. d. No other information including pamphlets or booklets is requested or required. e. No other general notification to firms under consideration for this project will be made and no further action is required. Solicitation packages are not provided for A/E contracts. This is not a request for proposals. (0074)
