AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District is seeking Statements of Interest for a cooperative agreement project titled Groundwater and Surficial Water Salinity Changes in Everglades National Park using Aerial Electromagnetic Surveys. The project aims to utilize Aerial Electromagnetic surveys to analyze saltwater intrusion in the ground and surface waters of the southern Florida Everglades, integrating new results with 30 years of historical data to estimate future trends and optimize restoration management for degraded wetland systems. The base period of performance is 12 months from the date of award, with four anticipated 12-month follow-on periods depending on funding availability. The estimated funding for the base period is approximately 300,000 dollars. Eligible CESU members must submit a three-page Statement of Interest by noon Central Time on October 6, 2026, though full study proposals and budgets are not required at this stage. The established CESU indirect rate is capped at 17.5 percent, applied to either the recipient's federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement base or the Modified Total Direct Cost base. Award is anticipated in Fiscal Year 2027. Additionally, recipients and subrecipients must comply with NIST SP 800-171 requirements, including maintaining a current Basic DoD Assessment and providing a NIST SP 800-171 score.

Full Description
NOTE: A complete study proposal and proposed budget are not requested at this time.
NOTE: The established CESU indirect rate is 17.5%. For any Cooperative Agreement entered into in response to this RSOI, a maximum 17.5% indirect cost rate will be paid on work covered by such agreement or any modifications thereto. Unless the agreement specifies otherwise, the basis of direct costs against which the agreement’s indirect cost rate is applied must be either the same base identified in the recipient's federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement or, if the recipient does not have a federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreement, the Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) base.
TITLE OF PROJECT: Groundwater and Surficial Water Salinity Changes in Everglades National Park using Aerial Electromagnetic Surveys
SYNOPSIS OF PROJECT: This project will support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Jacksonville District by performing Aerial Electromagnetic (AEM) surveys to understand the current spatial extent and rate of saltwater intrusion in the ground and surface waters of the southern Florida Everglades. Results will be integrated with previous survey data conducted over the last 30 years to comprehend the impacts surrounding significant critical habitat loss. Future freshwater-saltwater interface trends will then be estimated to optimize management decisions tied to restoration efforts of the degraded wetland system.
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The Base Period of the agreement will extend 12 months from date of award. Four 12-month Follow-on Periods are anticipated based on availability of funding.
