The work includes, but is not limited to, field investigations, underwater inspections; engineering analysis of waterfront and ocean facility structural, mechanical and electrical systems and component conditions in comparison to design requirements, previous inspection reports and/or existing drawings of the facilities; review of construction plans and specifications of engineering features and related work associated with waterfront and ocean facility construction and repair; engineering calculations for structural analysis with or without previous design calculations; failure analysis and forensic engineering; waterfront and ocean facility engineering feasibility studies; design of facility repairs; preparation of Design/Build RFPs and Invitation For Bid contract plans and specifications; mooring bollard testing and associated technology development, mooring and berthing analysis; environmental studies in support of permit applications to federal, state, and local regulatory agencies; preparation of required permit documentation; design of underwater instrument and cable arrays, associated power and data cable installation and termination, including fiber optic elements; design of underwater instrument support structures and assemblies; design of termination junction boxes and support structures; design of underwater cable installation using horizontal direction drilling technology, including the establishment of directional drilling monitoring and response criteria to minimize environmental effects of directional drilling; documentation of findings and report preparation; cost estimation for waterfront and ocean facility rehabilitation; construction and installation schedules, development of maintenance action plans, underwater geotechnical and above water surveying. The types of Task Order submittals may include, but not be 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, and technical reviews. Additional products and services may include construction contract drawings using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), per the A/E/C 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. 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 (November 2014). US citizenship for all on-site personnel, including the requirement to pass a Federal Law Enforcement Agency Background Screening Process for access to Government sites is required. The anticipated regions are as follows: Table 1: Regions Region Description Region 1 - Northeast, Southeast (including Key West), Great Lakes areas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Island Region 2 - Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia Region 3 - Southwest, Hawaii, and Gulf Coast areas Region 4 - Northwest area (including Alaska) and all Pacific U.S. Territories (American Samoa, Micronesia, Guam, Midway Island, Wake Island, Johnston Atoll, Baker Island, and the Northern Mariana Islands) OCONUS - Various locations worldwide (outside continental U.S.) and less Region 4 The information resulting from this sources sought is anticipated to result in one of the following scenarios: Five (5) individual regional contracts with each being awarded to a single Architecture and Engineering (A&E firm). An A&E firm will not be excluded from any region based upon an award in any other single region. As such, multiple regions may be awarded to a single firm. Two (2) individual regional contracts with each being awarded to a single A&E firm for OCONUS, and CONUS (Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4). Three (3) individual regional contracts, with each being awarded to a single A&E firm for OCONUS, East Region (Regions 1 and 2), and West Region (Regions 3 and 4). One (1) contract to a single A&E firm for all regions worldwide (CONUS and OCONUS). Other option as determined by the Government in its sole discretion based on suggestions, feedback, or other considerations resulting from this process. The A&E firm will distinguish which region(s) it desires to be considered for in their submittal package. The Government welcomes all inputs, suggestions, and approaches from A&E firms on how these requirements can be met. For each contract awarded, the prime contractor will be required to perform at least 50% of the work (in dollars) for each year of the contract. The awardee A&E firm/team shall have the capacity to support multiple simultaneous facility inspections while still meeting the requirements of the contract for prime contractor performance. Duration will be for five years from the date of an initial contract award. The aggregate value of any one regional contract award resulting from the synopsis shall result in approximate total values between $8M-$15M. A minimum guarantee of $10,000 for the entire contract term, including option years, will be satisfied by the award of an initial Task Order. Multiple Task Orders may be awarded with similar delivery schedules requiring the firm to provide services with overlapping work/delivery dates. Individual Task Orders are expected to range, on average, between $50,000 and $1,000,000. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to identify interested/qualified sources. The applicable North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541330 Engineering Services (size standard $25.5M, no exception applied). Offerors shall have no less than five (5) years experience in providing these types of services. At a minimum, provide the following information in your submittal: 1) Name and address of company and contact information/point of contact. 2) CAGE code and Unique Entity ID (UEI). 3) Only a single brief statement of qualifications for any and/or all regions (not to exceed seven [7] total pages) is requested at this time. If responding for specific regions, please specify this in your response. Provide a statement of qualifications to include experience relative to this procurement, or any other information that clearly demonstrates your capabilities, expertise and experience to perform the requirements. General marketing material may be included but must fall within the (7) page submittal requirement. 4) Statement as to small business program size status relative to the above NAICS Code and identification of any existing contract vehicles currently in place which may be used and fit the proposed contract scope. 5) Short explanation regarding approach to managing multiple projects at multiple locations worldwide including emergency short notice projects. 6) Possible teaming arrangements: If you are responding as a prime contractor, provide anticipated subcontractors and their business size under the identified NAICS code.
