RECOVERY--C--PROJECT NUMBER 008315, Inland Waterway Navigation Charts

The contract involves a firm-fixed price task order issued by the Mobile District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the existing indefinite delivery contract W91278-09-D-0010 with 3001, Inc., originally awarded in November 2008 for architectural and engineering services in surveying and mapping. This specific task order, designated Task Order #008, focuses on Phase Two of a project designed to support USACE’s navigation operations through the implementation of an operational real-time GIS-based system named the Lock Operations Management Application (LOMA). The purpose of LOMA is to enhance the management of inland locks, waterways, and deep draft channels by providing real-time geospatial data on commercial vessel locations, historical navigation information, and the ability to electronically collect and share lock operation and environmental data via an interactive mapping interface. This opportunity was posted on September 2, 2010, under solicitation number W91278-10-287-ARRA, aligning with NAICS code 541330 for engineering services, and is limited to the existing contractor under the current contract. The work is coordinated through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Mobile office in Alabama. FAR 5.203 does not apply to this notice as it is governed by FAR 5.7 on recovery contracts. The overall goal of this task order is to improve inland waterway navigation safety and efficiency by leveraging advanced mapping and real-time data technologies to support operational decision-making for the Corps’ navigation infrastructure.
