RECOVERY--C--Bonneville Stilling Basin Erosion Repair, John Day Downstream Gate Repair and John Day Flow Deflectors Project Value Engineering Studies

The Portland District Corps of Engineers plans to issue Task Order No. DT04 under a previously awarded Architect-Engineer Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (AE IDIQ) contract number W912DO-08-D-0036 to the URS Group, using recovery act funding. This task order involves providing a facilitator and Value Engineering (VE) team leader to conduct three VE studies aimed at enhancing the Bonneville Stilling Basin Erosion Repair, John Day Downstream Gate Repair, and John Day Flow Deflectors Project. The facilitator must possess an active Certified Value Specialist certification, be a licensed engineer, and represent one of the required disciplines within the study team, ensuring adherence to the guidelines outlined in ER 11-1-321 on Value Engineering. The work falls under the NAICS code 541330 and is managed by the Portland office of the Department of Defense. The VE studies are a critical component of the recovery-funded projects that focus on evaluating and improving cost efficiency, function, and overall project value. The URS Group’s role includes leading these studies to identify potential savings and improvements, thereby supporting the Corps of Engineers’ mission to enhance infrastructure resilience and operational effectiveness at the specified sites.
