I. CONTRACT INFORMATION: Services of qualified A-E firms are sought to provide Engineering Surveying and Land Surveying for the Rock Island District, US Army Corps of Engineers. At least two Indefinite Delivery contracts may be negotiated and awarded. The contract will consist of individually negotiated task orders with an individual or cumulative total not to exceed $500,000 during a one year period, with an option to extend for two additional years. Contractor is guaranteed no less than $10,000 the first year and $5,000 for each of the option years if extended. If concurrent multiple awards are made, task orders will be allocated based upon the Contracting Officer's determination of the special qualifications of the firm, the nature of the work involved in the task order, the immediacy of the work and availability of the firm. Distribution of the work will be a secondary consideration. Estimated initial contract award dates are December 2001 and December 2002. An option period may be exercised early when the amount of the current period is exhausted. See Note #1. II. PROJECT INFORMATION: Types of surveys will include horizontal and vertical control, cross-sections, property boundary, and minor hydrographic site work. Services are to be primarily for engineering of civil works projects (but may include military support projects) and primarily within the Rock Island District boundaries ( IA, IL, WI, MN, MO), but they may also be required for selected areas throughout the Mississippi Valley Division. Task Orders may include topographic surveying and mapping and boundary surveying delivered as digital databases. Total station three-dimensional (3-D) data collections techniques will be required, including breakline technology (TIN/DTM compilation); and locating and verifying both above and below ground utility systems using all available electronic means. Boundary surveys required may include courthouse research (adjoiners, outgrants and easements), and licensed land surveying. Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying capability will be required utilizing static, fast static and kinematic procedures to obtain three dimensional coordinate values. National Map Accuracy Standards and Corps of Engineers or other Federal Agency control standards may be required. III. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are limited in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by sub-criterion). Criteria A through E are primary. Criteria F through H are secondary and will only be used as a "tie-breaker," if necessary in ranking most highly qualified firms. SELECTION CRITERIA are: A.
