DOT Volpe Center Architect Engineering IDIQ 2015-2016

The Department of Transportation awarded this Master IDIQ for architect and engineering services supporting environmental compliance projects outside New York and New England, with ordering closed as of July 26, 2016—nine years and eleven months ago. The vehicle is no longer active and cannot be pursued for new work.

The IDIQ was established January 14, 2011, with a shared ceiling of $40 million. Fourteen task orders were awarded across the vehicle's lifetime, generating $9.5 million in combined potential value with $4.1 million obligated (43% of potential). Ordering activity was front-loaded: ten orders issued in 2011, one in 2012, and three in 2016 before the vehicle closed.

Work contracted spans two compliance areas: National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance and CERCLA, RCRA, and other non-NEPA environmental compliance. Task orders demonstrate a diverse geographic scope including Death Valley National Park, Mount Rainier National Park, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and San Diego Airport, alongside specialized work in ballast water treatment systems for the U.S. Coast Guard and federal agency environmental reviews.

Three primes shared all awards. WSP USA Inc. dominated by order count and value, holding seven orders worth $5.1 million in combined potential value. ICF Incorporated, L.L.C., was second by potential value with two orders totaling $2.6 million, while CDM Federal Programs Corp. held five orders valued at $1.9 million combined. All fourteen orders funded the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary. No set-aside designations were used; all orders were unrestricted.

Task orders ranged from small firm-fixed-price engagements under $20,000 to larger cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements with ceilings exceeding $2.4 million. Individual order ceilings typically spanned $65,000 to $2.4 million. The largest was a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration environmental assessment support order, ceiling $2.45 million, obligated at $2.0 million. Cost-plus-fixed-fee dominated the earliest and largest awards; later orders shifted toward firm-fixed-price structures.

The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) has awarded a Master IDIQ for Architect and Engineering (A & E) services for environmental projects outside of New York and New England. The objective of this procurement is to acquire A & E services in support of the Volpe Center in two major environmental compliance areas. Area 1: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) Compliance. Area 2: Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and other (non-NEPA) Compliance.
