Project Background. The Contractor may be required to render services at the office(s) of various other team members, on-site at the offices of various U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) activities, or on-site at various project sites or installations. The location of work performed under this Contract shall be stated in the individual Task Orders. The Government expects the bulk of the Task Orders to be issued by USACE, Portland District (CENWP); however, the Procurement Contracting Officer may issue written authorizations for Seattle (NWS) and Walla Walla (NWW) Districts to issue Task Orders under this Contract. The purpose of this indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) SATOC is to provide all labor, management, facilities, supplies, equipment, and materials (other than those to be furnished by the Government as set forth in this contract or task orders (TOs) issued under this contract), as necessary to accomplish the required services. The Contractor shall plan, schedule, coordinate and ensure the full, effective, efficient, and economical performance of all services ordered under this contract. The Contractor shall provide adequate professional supervision and quality control to ensure the accuracy, quality, completeness, and timely progress of the work. Project Scope. The Contractor shall provide survey, inspection, engineering, analysis, contract development, design, and design review services for civil works projects. Examples of typical projects are as follows: Pile Dike Systems. Engineering, investigation, and design for pile dike systems. Typical work for these features includes performing site investigations and surveys, performing condition inspections, preparing planning and study documents including engineering reports such as feasibility studies, Major Maintenance Reports (MMRs), Engineering Documentation Reports (EDRs), & Design Documentation Reports (DDRs), drafting plans and specifications, preparing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents, to include Section 404 and Section 401 permit documents, writing engineering construction instructions, and performing socioeconomic analysis and incremental economic analysis including Hydraulic Engineering Center - Flood Damage Reduction Analysis (HEC-FDA) and/or other professionally accepted computational economic analysis tools. Typical engineering disciplines include geotechnical, structural, civil, hydraulic, hydrologic, coastal, environmental engineers, and fisheries engineering. Typical non-engineering disciplines may also include project manager, fish biologist, biologist, and environmental coordinator. Typical projects include design or modification of features such as: Pile dikes Enhanced enrockment dikes Revetments Riprap Material off-loading facilities Access roads Staging areas Temporary floating barges Dredge disposal sites River training structures Navigation channels Fish habitat Erosion reduction Bank stabilization Site restoration Wetland restoration River riparian restoration River aquatic restoration Planting plans Request for Proposals (RFPs) for Design Bid Contracts. Coordination with USACE on development of contracts, task orders, and/or requests for proposals for design build contracts that may typically include all the elements in section 4.1 as well as construction planning and performing engineering during construction and drafting of operational documentation. Typical engineering disciplines include geotechnical, structural, civil, hydraulic, hydrologic, coastal, environmental engineer, and fisheries engineer. Typical non-engineering disciplines may also include construction inspector, construction administrator, project manager, program manager, fish biologist, biologist, and environmental coordinator. Value Engineering. Conduct value engineering (VE) studies for work described within this contract. Typical work includes the conducting of VE studies in accordance with the current version of USACE Engineering Regulation (ER) 11-1-321, Army Programs VE. To the extent possible, VE Studies shall include Risk Assessment/Analysis and Life Cycle Cost Estimating techniques in each study. VE Studies can be conducted at planning and/or design level for construction projects. Other. As part of the efforts to complete work described in C-4, work may be required in the following areas to complete the work: Economic analysis Topographic and hydrographic surveying Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) & Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Subsurface explorations and testing. AdH Modeling Bentley IMS account for ProjectWise Access to share project files ProjNet - Dr Checks Number and Type of Contracts: NWP contemplates awarding a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). The acquisition strategy decision has not yet been determined. Maximum small business participation is being sought at both the prime and subcontracting levels. Project Specific Constraints and Challenges: The project sites require design within dynamic and ever-changing environments that require survey and modeling that can be challenging. Oversight agency reviews and approvals of designs typically take 6-12 months, which can further be delayed by significant changes to the design. Environmental issues including protecting animals, wetlands, and fish add design complexity. BMP's and design optimization for environmental issues such as that above is often not well known or documented yet and has to be further developed throughout the design process. Providing needed information to the PDT and oversight agencies with a high confidence level that the design won't change. Task orders are expected to include review processes that may generate CUI in the form of lists of review personal.
