PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting Market Research to identify potential sources for award of Multi-Discipline Architect-Engineering (A-E) Indefinite-Delivery, Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) to support of construction projects located primarily in the USACE - Norfolk District area of responsibility (AOR), but also North Atlantic

Division AOR. The purpose of these A-E contracts is to replace existing MATOC IDIQ and allow for increased capacity to meet demands of the program in the upcoming fiscal years.

The requested A-E services include, but are not limited to planning, programming, feasibility studies, geotechnical investigations, topographic or boundary surveys, permitting, charrettes, master planning, engineering studies, design services, estimating, surveying, site/field investigation, CADD & BIM drawing and document preparation and review, design review, operability and maintenance review of designs, construction management services, commissioning, studies, and preparation of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for Design-Build

Projects and reports.

The services will encompass architectural and engineering services for a broad variety of projects that could include but are not limited to minor and major repair, modification, rehabilitation, maintenance, alternatives, new construction and commissioning of existing facilities. The type of work performed will be for secure and non-secure sites and will include:

planning, programming, feasibility studies, geotechnical investigations, permitting, charrettes, master planning, Value Engineering, engineering studies, design services, estimating, surveying, site/field investigation, CADD/BIM drawing and document preparation and review, design review, operability and maintenance review of designs, construction management services, commissioning, studies, and reports. These services will include (but are not limited to) such areas as facility maintenance, repair, remodeling, renovation, or demolition; infrastructure;

interior fit-up; new construction; physical security and counter terrorism (including weapons of mass destruction) force protection; fire protection; and communications for military and other non-military government agencies. Task orders issued against the MATOC IDIQ contracts will be firm fixed priced. All work must be performed by or under the direct supervision of licensed professional Architects or Registered Engineers. The work required extends beyond a single project effort, in that it involves planning, design, scheduling, management, coordinating, investigating, and CADD support for a fluctuating flow of simultaneous, though unrelated, delivery orders. Therefore, the Contractor will be required to respond rapidly to Government requirements with outstanding professionalism, top quality craftsmanship, quality control, and coordination of the various disciplines without compromising professional standards, current mission requirements, and end user readiness. It is imperative that the Contractor provides a flexible and multi-disciplined work force of the highest quality.

GENERAL:

The new acquisition will result in an award of approximately six (6) Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity, (IDIQ) A-E contracts with a total shared estimated capacity of $240M between the selected firms. Each contract will have a five-year base with no option years. The contemplated contract will be procured in accordance with the Selection of Architects and

Engineers Statute (PL 92-582, formerly known as Brooks A-E Act), 40 USC Chapter 1101 et seq., as implemented by FAR Part 36.6.
