Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Architect Engineer (A-E) Design Services for Civil Works Projects within the South Pacific Division (SPD)

RECOVERY - PER FAR 5.7 THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY; THEREFORE FAR 5.203 DOES NOT APPLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS AVAILABLE ONLY TO CONTRACTOR(S) UNDER THE CURRENT CONTRACT NUMBER(S): Pacific Civil and Structural Consultants, LLC; W91238-10-D-0016-0001-Napa River Flood Protection Project

This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because this is a task/delivery order where an exception to fair opportunity requirements was approved as this is a follow-on order to a competitive initial order (FAR 8.405-6(b)(2) or 16.505(b)(2)(iii).

Task 1 Construction Phase Services. The A-E shall provide engineering construction phase services support to the Corps. The A-E shall provide an estimated 2,800 hours of construction phase services support to the Corps, including services related to all disciplines included in the original design, including civil, structural, landscape, electrical, biotechnical bank and bed protection, hydraulic, environmental, etc. This shall consist of providing support services as directed and approved by the Corps and may include such services as attending site visits; inspections previous, during, or subsequent to construction work; meeting attendance as requested; review of construction submittals, schedules, test date, as-built plans, and other documents; general coordination with Corps, Contractor, and stakeholders as requested; review and responding to requests for information (RFIs) from the construction contractor; and preparation of design revisions in support of contract modifications for work not associated with any errors and omissions. Work required due to errors or omissions (RFI reviews/responses, design modifications, etc.), as determined by Corps, shall be performed with no additional charge to the Government. As directed, the A-E shall incorporate changes on the original drawings, and submit hardcopy, pdf files, and CADD drawings when requested. In addition, the A-E shall incorporate changes (if deemed necessary by Corps) in the specifications and on the submittal registers and submit one copy in SPECSINTACT format on a disk or CD labeled with the project title, location, and construction contract number.

Optional Task 1 Construction Phase Services. This Optional Task shall provide an additional estimated 200 hours of construction phase engineering services as described in Task 1 above. This Optional Task may be exercised up to 5 times within the period of performance of this statement of work.

A-E services are required to provide the full spectrum of design disciplines on all or portions of Civil Works projects. The primary emphasis of A-E services will focus on Civil Works Projects; however, design services may also include construction phase services (CPS), Military Construction (MILCON) and Hazardous Toxic Radiological Waste (HTRW) projects. Task orders issued under this contract may range in scope from a small study to a new project design for Civil Works projects. The design services may include design of new facilities and/or modification/improvement of existing facilities. Demolition of existing facilities may require provisions for abatement of asbestos and/or lead based paint removal to be included in the design documents which in turn would require A-E investigation to be done. Civil Works project studies and designs could involve levees, floodwalls, dams, spillways, pumping stations, various mechanical gate structures, stilling basins, hydraulic flow control structures, bridges, buildings, infrastructure (road and utility) systems, operations and maintenance manuals, dam safety risk analyses, and flood damage reduction project/system risk based analysis. Civil Works studies may also include, but not be limited to, the evaluation of flood damage and risk, preparation of engineering analysis, acquisition of geotechnical (explorations), topographic and hydrographic data, material testing results, hydraulic physical modeling results, constructability reviews, economic analysis, environmental documents and environmental restoration to include wetlands development. Input may be required by the full range of disciplines including but not limited to: civil, structural, hydraulic, geotechnical, mechanical and electrical engineering, architectural, landscape architects, hydrology, geology, seismology, surveying, mapping, construction, and cost engineering. Individual task orders may include maintenance and repair type projects and miscellaneous architectural and engineering services associated with Civil Works projects. A smaller emphasis of design services may be for Military Construction and HTRW projects.

The contractor shall be responsible for designs and drawings using computer aided design and drafting (CADD). Work may be performed in an AutoCAD, Microstation, or equal, environment. BIM work may be performed in either REVIT or Bentley BIM. GIS work may be field, desktop or Internet based. Firms may be required to develop Hyper-Text Mark-up Language (HTML) as the project medium. All final text files generated under a task order shall be furnished to the Sacramento District in Adobe Acrobat (PDF), with a working copy in Microsoft Office MS Word. Drawing files and as-built drawings shall be submitted in AutoCAD or MicroStation, in the same environment as designed, in accordance with the guidance at http://cbbs.spk.usace.army.mil/a-e_guidance.html and http://cbbs.spk.usace.army.mil/cadd.html. The target platform is a Pentium 3.0 GHz, 512 MB Ram and 40 GH Hard Drive with Windows XP Professional operating system. Drawings files produced by scanning documents or records or containing photographic images shall be delivered in PDF. The specifications will be produced in PDF electronic digital files. Additionally, the contractor shall have the ability to deliver two or three-dimensional drawings in the AutoCAD software released 2004, or in MicroStation V8.5. The Government will only accept final documents found to be fully operational without conversion or reformatting. Responding firms must show computer and Internet capability for accessing the Criteria Bulletin Board System (CBBS) http://cbbs.spk.usace.army.mil/index.html and the Design Review and Checking System (DrChecks) https://www.projnet.org. Estimates shall be prepared using Corps of Engineers Computer Aided Cost Estimating system (M-CACES Second Generation MII) (software provided by Government) software; however training to use this software and the current pending Cost Book library will require purchasing by the Contractor. This work will include all Architectural-Engineering (A-E) and related services necessary to complete the assigned task orders for studies and designs. A specific scope of work will be issued with each task order.
