The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract to Moffatt Nichol-Wbcm JV with a potential value of $12 million for bridge and waterfront facility inspections. Under this contract vehicle, the Corps has issued several delivery orders to the prime contractor for inspection services across various locations. Delivery orders awarded from 2021 through 2023 total over $3.5 million and require inspections of bridges and waterfront facilities managed by the Corps in Mississippi, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, with periods of performance ranging from May 2022 through January 2026. A subcontract was also awarded under one delivery order for engineering design services related to a new barge pier in Antarctica. The original solicitation sought capabilities statements for a sole source contract to develop operations and maintenance documentation for a groundwater study, indicating the diverse range of services procured by the Corps from engineering firms under various contracting vehicles.
Moffatt Nichol-Wbcm JV serves as the prime contractor, providing structural inspection of critical infrastructure to support the Corps' programs for maintenance and safety of navigation channels, flood control assets, and other public works projects. Delivery orders awarded to date utilize firm fixed price contracts and do not specify set asides, issued against the multiple award IDV held by the joint venture. Subcontracts have also been awarded under certain delivery orders to specialized engineering firms for tasks like geotechnical analysis, architectural design, and environmental assessments that supplement the prime contractor's inspection activities.
