CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act (PL 92-582) as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiations based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District, proposes to obtain the services for up to three Indefinite Delivery Architect-Engineer (A-E) contracts for Geospatial Services, including surveying, mapping, and GIS as required for various types of civil works projects assigned to Districts within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Great Lakes and Ohio River Division geographical boundaries which include the Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Huntington, Louisville, Nashville and Pittsburgh Districts.

The majority of the work under this contract will be performed within the boundaries of the Huntington District. If work is required outside the Huntington District, wage rates will be furnished and new line items included by modification. Each indefinite delivery contract will be negotiated and awarded with a base period and four option periods.

Each contract amount will not exceed $3,000,000.00 over the life of the contract. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed price task orders. The criteria to be used in allocating task orders among the contracts will be based on the following: (1) Contract minimums - task orders will be distributed to assure the guaranteed minimums are met;

(2) Unique specialized experience; (3) Past performance on previous task orders - the quality and timeliness of work delivered on prior jobs under the current contract; (4) Current capacity to accomplish the task order in the required time; (5) Equitable distribution of work among the contractors. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in June 2016. North American Industrial Classification System (NAICs) code is 541370, which has a size standard of $15,000,000.00 in average annual receipts.

Quality Control Plans will be required at the time of award. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under the resulting contract must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act, as determined relative to the employees office location (not the location of the work). To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Register via the SAM internet site at http://www.sam.gov.
