Reclamation is best known for construction of dams, power plants, and canals, including Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, and Folsom Dam on the American River. Reclamation is the largest wholesaler of water in the country and second largest producer of hydroelectric power in the western US.

Reclamation is organized into six regions (Missouri Basin [MB], Arkansas-Rio Grande-Texas-Gulf [ART], Upper Colorado Basin [UCB], Lower Colorado Basin [LCB], Columbia-Pacific Northwest [CPN], and California-Great Basin [CGB]). Reclamation design and construction offices routinely provide construction support services within the scope of this PWS within these five regions.

2.0. SCOPE: Occasionally, workload either exceeds the capacity of geographically assigned staff or requires specialty knowledge and experience Reclamation staff does not possess. Reclamation policy is first to temporarily reassign staff to satisfy temporary requirements. The purpose of the professional services IDIQ is to perform the required work through a task order when other Reclamation staff with the skills, knowledge, and expertise is not available.

2.1. Construction support services performed under this professional services IDIQ contract include technical and professional services to support execution of Reclamation's mission. The types of services may include:

a) construction inspection (civil, mechanical, electrical, environmental, NACE coatings, fire protection/suppression, elevator, HVAC, certified welding inspectors, etc.); equipment startup and commissioning;

b) geotechnical sampling/testing, materials engineering testing; data collection and manipulation;

c) surveying for quality assurance, bathymetric/topographic, high‐definition scanning, and construction control, excludes land/boundary surveyors;

d) specialized construction industry subject matter experts; technical consultation and research; technical document preparation; and
