- Description
- This “Sources Sought Notice” is to request information needed by the Government prior to release of any potential solicitation. This is NOT a request for proposal and in no way obligates the Government to award a contract. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is seeking qualified firms that have extensive knowledge in wetland restoration, hydraulics, soil mechanics, and reinforced concrete. Design activities required may consist of but are not limited to the following: design of earthen levees, design of large inlet and outlet control structures, preparation of construction specifications, preparation of construction plans (drawings), preparation of cost estimates, preparation of bid schedules, and preparation of design reports. The inlet and outlet control structure types may include reinforced concrete, corrugated metal, corrugate metal pipe or other as recommended. The firm will be required to perform engineering design activities in accordance with NRCS standards and certify that designs meet NRCS standards. A quality assurance plan will need to be developed for construction activities. All drawings will be computer generated in *.dwg format. The design work will begin in April 2004 and will be done in three phases. The first design phase will have a completion date of July 2004, with phases two and three to be completed in September 2004 and in February 2005.

If you are interested in competing for this requirement, please indicate your interest by sending an email (only) to Marla Sparks, marla.sparks@in.usda.gov no later than January 23, 2004.
