About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is seeking proposals for the final design and fabrication of a new Coastal Research Amphibious Buggy (CRAB) vehicle to replace their existing 40+ year old vehicle. The CRAB is required for hydrographic surveys, instrument deployments, and specialized surf zone data collection efforts at the Field Research Facility in Duck, North Carolina. Key requirements include adhering to the provided preliminary specifications and drawings, completing design deliverables, conducting comprehensive testing, delivering the CRAB to the ERDC facility, and performing on-site acceptance trials. Proposals will be evaluated on the offeror's technical approach and management approach. Offers are due by 2:00 PM local time on June 20, 2024.
This solicitation is not set aside for any specific business type. The ERDC indicates that the company who produced the preliminary concept design will be permitted to bid. The period of performance is 24 months from the contract award date, and the solicitation includes milestones for the design, fabrication, assembly, and testing phases. The place of performance is Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Project Description (approx. quantities):
Background and Purpose:
The Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, requires the completion of the final design and fabrication of a new Coastal Research Amphibious Buggy (CRAB). The ERDC requires a CRAB to replace the existing 40+ year old vehicle that is approaching end of life and relied upon at the Field Research Facility (FRF) located in Duck, North Carolina for hydrographic surveys, instrument deployments, and specialized surf zone data collection efforts. A recently completed concept design effort evaluated the existing vehicles stability and reliability and used these results to 1) design an updated vehicle that maintains the desired characteristics from the existing vehicle and 2) include customizations to improve functionality for specific applications that are now common but were not envisioned when the original vehicle was designed. The ERDC CHL requires the final design and build of a CRAB vehicle based on the results of a recent concept design effort which provides the general requirements for the construction of the CRAB.
Major Requirements:
Complete the detail design of a CRAB vehicle, then construct, test, deliver, reassemble (if needed) and complete onsite testing for the CRAB vehicle for the Field Research Facility (FRF). Preliminary specifications for the CRAB are attached in this Performance Work Statement in Section 3 and shall be followed as they provide the general requirements for the construction of the CRAB and show the essential features, functions, and arrangements, but do not necessarily include all of the details of the design. All tasks shall follow the guidance provided in the Preliminary Specifications document in Section 3 and design drawings located in Section 4.
