Funds are not presently available for the contracts. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for these contracts, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to subcontract.

The plan is not required with this submittal. The small business standard for this effort is based on the average annual receipts of the concern and its affiliates for the preceding three (3) fiscal years. A business is small for t his effort if its average annual receipts do not exceed $4 million. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under these contracts must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contra ct Act, as determined relative to the employee??????s office location (not the location of the work).

PROJECT INFORMATION. Projects may include the preparation of civil works project justification reports, water resources and related planning studies, enginee ring design of plans and specifications for construction, documents associated with engineering during construction, environmental compliance documents, and independent technical review. Projects will include planning or design documents for an array of pu rposes, either singly or combined, including flood damage reduction, river/stream bank stabilization, river and stream hydraulics, environmental ecosystem restoration, wetland design and restoration, water supply and distribution planning and design, envir onmental compliance, cultural resources, employment of geographic information systems (GIS), water resources planning, public involvement, dam safety analyses and design, socioeconomic analyses, value engineering, and engineering and design disciplines req uired for the various project purposes. Projects may also require in some cases hazardous, toxic, and radiological waste (HTRW) evaluation work. The contracts issued under this requirement will include continuing funding clauses required for civil works p rograms. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA. See Note 24 for a general description of the AE selection process. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion).
