Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Southwestern Division, Galveston District intends to increase the shared ordering capacity within the existing scope and ordering periods of Architect-Engineer (A-E) Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs), also referred to as Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs) W912HY19D0001, W912HY19D0002, W912HY19D0003, W912HY19D0004, W912HY19D0005, W912HY19D0006,  W912HY19D0007, W912HY19D0008, and W912HY19D0009 for Planning, Engineering, and Engineering during Construction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Southwestern Division, Galveston District.

Project Description:  SWG covers an area averaging 100 miles in width along the Texas coast, extending from approximately 15 miles east of the Texas-Louisiana state line south to the Rio Grande.  SWG’s responsibility encompasses all of 49 Texas counties, portions of four Louisiana parishes, and adjacent waters of the Gulf of Mexico. 

The existing scope of A-E services includes all types of civil works related engineering areas such as:  flood damage and risk reduction; floodplain modeling; coastal erosion; storm damage risk reduction and beach nourishment; shoreline and stream bank erosion protection; shallow and deep draft navigation; environmental and ecosystem habitat restoration; comprehensive watershed evaluations; and multi-purpose water resources projects.  The capabilities of A-E firms include comprehensive planning, technical analysis, engineering, design, and construction phase services including preliminary studies through feasibility report development; engineering design through detailed plans, specifications, and design analysis/design documentation report preparation; value engineering; technical and biddability, constructability, operability, environmental, and sustainability (BCOES) reviews; documentation for right of entry and right of way; and engineering during construction/construction phase services for both inland and coastal civil works. 

The proposed value of the increase to the shared capacity of the existing IDIQ contracts is $10 million, which will allow timely initiation of projected new design requirements and modification of existing design acquisitions until new IDIQ contracts are awarded under a separate solicitation expected in March 2023.

This is not a solicitation for competitive proposals.  Questions or comments to this Notice of Intent should be directed via email by 10:00 am, on 1 November 2022 (Central Standard Time) to Mrs. Alicia Evans, at alicia.g.evans@usace.army.mil and Ms. Maria Rodriguez, at maria.e.rodriguez@usace.army.mil
