Dam and Levee Safety Program Design Services

The Dam and Levee Safety Program Design Services is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) South Pacific Division to provide comprehensive architectural and engineering services for civil works, military, and infrastructure projects. The contract, with a total ceiling of $110 million, supports a wide range of design and engineering activities related to dam safety, levee improvements, water resource management, and infrastructure development. The solicitation indicates the contract covers full-service interdisciplinary design for new structures and remediation of existing infrastructure, including feasibility studies, plans, specifications, and construction phase services across multiple engineering disciplines.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on water infrastructure, flood risk reduction, and civil works projects primarily located in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. The most frequent prime contractors include Tetra Tech-Black & Veatch Joint Venture, HDR GEI Joint Venture, Kleinfelder-Stantec USACE A Joint Venture, and AECOM Technical Services. Typical task order values range from approximately $400,000 to $7 million, with performance periods spanning 2-3 years. Common project types include dam safety assessments, water control manual updates, levee improvement designs, geotechnical engineering services, civil infrastructure design for military facilities, and engineering during construction services. None of the task orders utilized small business set-asides, and most were awarded as firm fixed-price contracts by USACE districts including Sacramento, Los Angeles, and others within the South Pacific Division.
