CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The main emphasis of this contract will be on hydraulic designs and analyses, river engineering, and floodplain analyses and delineations, sediment engineering, and fluvial geomorphology, as applicable to both the Corps of Engineers Civil Works and Military Constr uction mission areas, but capabilities in other disciplines such as GIS (Geographical Information System), Groundwater, Computer Aided Drafting Design (CADD), and Topographic and Hydrographic Surveys are also important elements of the contract. These desi gns, analyses, and services are required within the Sacramento and San Joaquin River drainage basins and at other locations within the South Pacific Division boundaries (AZ, CA, CO, NV, NM, and UT), or within any of SPKs or SPDs specific customers geograph ic boundaries, as determined by the Contracting Officer. A specific scope of work and services required will be issued with each firm fixed price task order. The end result of these studies/projects will be designs. This work will include all Architect- Engineering (A-E) and related services necessary to complete the design and A-E services during the specific phase of work for these projects. The North American Industrial Classification System code (NAICS) is 541310, and the Standard Industrial Code (SI C) is 8712, which has a small business size standard of maximum $4.0 million of average annual receipts for the preceding 3 fiscal years.

Since more than one contract will be awarded as a result of this announcement for the same or similar work, selection for task order awards will be made as follows: (1) All awardees will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order award in excess of $2,500. (2) In making selection of the awardee to receive a specific task order, the Contracting Officer will consider past performance of previous task orders, quality of previous task orders, timeliness of previous task orders, cost control, the firms strengths and previous experience in relation to the work requirements and geographic location described in the scope of work for each task order. Details of the selection process will be included in the resultant contracts. The contract will be for maximum one-year base period from the date of award and will contain 2 optional one-year periods. The contract amount for the base period is $1,000,000, and the contract amount of each of the option periods is $1,000,000, unless unused capacity is rolled over from a previous contract period. The total contract amount shall not exceed $3,000,000. Individual task orders shall not exceed the annual contract amount. The options may be exercised at the discretion of the Government. At the discretion of the Government, the option years may be exercised early if the Total Estimated Price is exhausted or nearly exhausted. All pricing schedules (for base year and all option periods) will be effecti ve for one full year regardless of the early exercising of options, beginning with the date of award of the base year. The pricing schedules for the first and second option periods become effective on the first and second anniversary dates, respectively, of the contract award. If the T otal Estimated Price of the base year or any option year is not awarded within that years 12-month performance period and the Government has elected to exercise a subsequent option year, the remaining unused dollar amount may be added on to the Total Estim ate Price of the option period being exercised.
