The types of task order submittals may include, but are not limited to, inspection and condition assessment reports, engineering alternatives analyses and basis of repair/design reports, engineering calculations, engineering plans and specifications, construction cost estimates, seismic assessment, hydrodynamic analysis, soil borings/tests, and technical reviews. Additional products and services may include construction contract drawings using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), per the A/E CADD Standard, and specifications produced in SPECSINTACT with Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) using the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS); Building Information Model (BIM) Modeling, Waterfront UNIFORMAT II classifications standard; contract bid analyses; post construction award services (PCAS); Title II inspection services; database design, construction and population; procedures and guidelines reports; static and dynamic structural analyses using finite element computer modeling; two and three-dimensional structure modeling and rendering; seismic vulnerability assessments, including use of finite element models and time history acceleration data for linear and/or nonlinear analyses of critical elements and development of retrofit schemes and nonlinear dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI). A waterfront facility is defined as any structure located on the waterfront, in connection with, or potentially in contact with, water or the marine environment. This would include inland structures that require underwater investigations. Waterfront facilities include, but are not limited to, piers, wharves, bulkheads, quaywalls, offshore towers, dams, levees, water control structures, instrument support structures, dry docks, moorings, underwater cables, or any similar structure. All waterfront facility assessments, including underwater inspections will be performed under direct control and supervision of registered professional engineer-divers. For each underwater assessment, one registered professional engineer-diver shall be appointed as the engineer-in-charge (EIC). That EIC shall dive at least 50% of the time, supervise the writing of the detailed inspection report, and write at least 50% of the detailed inspection reports. The other engineers on-site may write the balance of the inspection report. The EIC shall ensure that all field inspection operations, including diving, are performed in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements EM 385-1-1 (September 2008). The A&E firm/team shall have the capacity to support at minimum three simultaneous facility inspections while still meeting the requirements of the contract for prime contractor performance. B: This synopsis will result in the award of a single Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for work to be accomplished outside of the continental United States (OCONUS). Additionally, the OCONUS contract award will act as overflow support for Waterfront Inspection Services CONUS Regions 1, 2, 3 and 4. Based on an anticipated workload in those regions and in an effort to properly manage overflow in case of emergencies in regions 1, 2, 3 and 4, the OCONUS contractor may be used to supplement overflow capacity and augment services under contingency when the small business prime contractors for those regions acknowledge their inability to accept additional work due to limitations in capacity. The regional CONUS prime contractors will be given the right of first refusal of a task order in their region should their current capacity be met by other task orders currently awarded. Exercising the right of first refusal would not be a negative reflection on the small business prime and would enable solicitation to the OCONUS prime contractor, ultimately enabling the navy the ability to satisfy and meet mission needs. The final decision and approval for this overflow capacity redistribution will be made by the Contracting Officer. Each Task Order under this contract will be fixed price. Pricing information will be requested of the selected firm for each Task Order. The duration of the contract will be for one year from the date of an initial contract award (Base year), with four (4) additional one-year option ordering periods. The aggregate value of all Task Orders issued under the contract resulting from this solicitation (including any task order overflow support in CONUS regions 1, 2, 3 and 4) shall not exceed $15,000,000.00. This is a combined value for base and all option years. The options may be exercised within the time frame specified in the resultant contract at the sole discretion of the Government. If the dollar capacity of the previous year has not been utilized, the capacity will be added to the following option year (if exercised). The IDIQ contract type minimum guarantee of $10,000 for the entire contract term, including option years, will be satisfied either by the award of an initial Task Order or multiple Task Orders. Individual Task Orders are expected to range, on average, between $50,000 and $500,000. The prime contractor is required to perform 50% of the work (in dollars). Contractor personnel working on this contract shall be U.S. Citizens. Security Requirements: Work performed will be at the SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED level. The government does not anticipate the need for a security clearance, however, if clearances are subsequently required the contractor shall comply with SECNAV M5510.30, SECNAV Instruction M-5239.2, and Department of Defense (DoD) 8570.01-M.
