SF330 Part I- Section E

Comment Classification: Public (Public)

First question- Section III Project Information has five categories. But in Section E- four categories are listed - skipped the Flood Risk Management category. I was wondering if that is intentional and if so- why.

Second Question-Under SF330 Part I- Section E submittal requirements, the hydraulic engineer as a professional category is listed only under the 'Dams and Appurtenant Structures'. But the description of SOW within this solicitation includes hydraulic engineering as a discipline of work required under the Fish Conveyance, Flood Risk Management, and Coastal, River, and Harbor categories. As such - I was wondering if the District would like to include Hydraulic Engineer as a professional list for the remaining three categories. Based on our experience with task orders in all these categories, hydraulic engineer is a required category. Thank you.

On: Jan 13 2024.

Government Response. . Flood Risk Management is included along with Dams and Appurtenant Structures in Key Personnel Position (1) since the skills for Key Personnel positions for Dams and Appurtenant Structures is considered very similar to the skills needed for Key Personnel for Flood Risk Management and could be considered to be relevant to either category.

A Hydraulic Engineer Key Personnel Position should be included for the first 3 functional areas:

(1) Dams and Appurtenant Structures AND Flood Risk Management

(2) Fish Conveyance Systems

(3) Coastal, Rivers, and Harbors On: Jan 24 2024 Current Request Status: Request Closed

Can you clarify the type of experience you're looking for in the Environmental Engineer? Would this be related to HTRW/environmental response/cleanup, or are there other areas of expertise/experience the District is looking for?

On: Feb 09 2024.

Government Response. . This was added in error, as was the CAD/BIM Tech. See SAM.gov for AMEND 0001_13FEB24, posted 13 Feb. This supersedes AMEND 0001 (which has been deleted). Also, the count for Key Positions on Bidder Inquiries 10646057 and 10605313 has been updated to reflect the total of 21 Positions, NOT 23.

On: Feb 13 2024 Government Response. . This new text supercedes ALL previous replies.

Ignore information about the error.

The experience for an Environmental Engineer is not necessarily related to HTRW/environmental response/cleanup.

The Environmental Engineer is expected to help the government/AE collaboration/team to successfully plan and navigate the project design and construction plans through oversight agency approvals including mandatory environmental laws, rules, and regulations that must be followed throughout the design and construction process. The Environmental Engineer is also likely to be involved with helping to secure environmental permits or approvals when necessary which typically involves providing the team with guidance on how best to accomplish the goals of the project while staying within the known or foreseeable environmental constraints.
