Planning and Engineering IDIQ, Los Angeles District (SPL), USACE

This SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE is for information only. Replies by interested parties will be used by the Los Angeles District (SPL), USACE  for preliminary planning purposes. No proposal or contract will be awarded from this notice. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this notice or any follow-up information requests. The intent of this notice is to gather information on firms interested in a potential Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) to procure a wide range of plan formation and associated engineering services to support projects and programs primarily throughout SPL civil works and military boundaries, which span Southern California, Southern Nevada, Southwestern Utah, and Arizona. The targeted audience for this project are those firms with expertise in civil works planning and engineering

This MATOC will secondarily support projects and programs throughout the broader South Pacific Division boundaries of the USACE, including the Sacramento, San Francisco, and Albuquerque Districts. Everything contained in this sources sought is subject to change

MATOC  Scope:  Services provided under this potential contract will contribute to a diverse array of water resources-related infrastructure projects primarily but not exclusively within the Civil Works mission area. These include flood risk management, navigation improvements, shoreline protection, and ecosystem restoration. The contract is expected to encompass a wide range of Planning and Civil Engineering Services to support the completion of USACE feasibility studies. These services may include, but are not limited to:

 Plan Formulation: Following the USACE process to develop and evaluate alternate plans.

Data Analysis: Input and analysis of various data sets to support planning decisions.

H&H Modeling: Hydraulic and hydrologic modeling to assess water flow and its impacts. Firms familiar with conditions in the arid SW portion of the U.S. is a plus

Engineering and Design: Planning level geotechnical, geology, GIS, structural and civil design work and assessments

Cost Estimation: Preparation of detailed cost estimates for project alternatives

Public Involvement and Facilitation: Facilitating group discussions and workshops along with conducting public involvement

Note: It is expected that sizable percentage of task orders for any resulting contract may stem from the H&H Modeling and Public Involvement and Facilitation disciplines

The Government is seeking to identify qualified sources either singularly or as part of an assembled team under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330-Engineering Services, which has a small business size standard of $25.5M

MATOC Ceiling: $5M (current estimate)

Period of Performance: 5-Year Ordering Period

In accordance with (RFO) 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, small business prime contractors will not pay more than 50% (services) of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.

Examples from within the Los Angeles District footprint are encouraged.

-Description of experience on projects to include:

-Project title, location, and general description to demonstrate direct relevance to the described MATOC scope.

-Percentage of offerors’ role and work scopes self-performed versus subcontracted

-Dollar value of each task order

-Name of company, agency, or Government entity for which the work was performed (include reference name, contact phone number and e-mail address for each task order described).
