This is a SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District is conducting market research to identify businesses that are capable and willing to perform design services in support of the District’s Military, Interagency and International Services (IIS), and Civil Works projects. CONTRACT REQUIREMENT: The anticipated contract, when solicited, will be procured in accordance with the Brooks Architect-Engineer Act as implemented in FAR subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for all the required work. This procurement will be conducted under FSC Code: C219; NAICS Code: 541330, Engineering Services. The size standard for this code is $16,500,000.00. When the requirement is solicited, firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for all the required work. The Government anticipates issuing between three (3) and five (5) Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) for five (5) years with a combined anticipated capacity of $99,000,000. PROJECT INFORMATION: Projects will primarily be located within the South Pacific Division’s civil works boundaries of CA, NV, AZ, UT, and portions of OR, ID, CO, TX and WY, and the military boundaries of CA, NV, UT, NM, and AZ. The contracts may also be used by other Districts within South Pacific Division (Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Border District, and Albuquerque Districts) to encompass the entire South Pacific Division geographical area of responsibility (AOR). A specific scope of work and services will be issued with each task order. QUALIFICATIONS: All interested firms are encouraged to respond to this notice and may respond to this announcement by submitting a capability statement which addresses the following key areas: The primary focus is to provide design services in support of the Military and IIS Programs. The design services could range from an architectural renovation (some of historical significance), maintenance and repair of a variety of small projects, ECIP Program studies/designs (more detail below), or may also include design of complete additions, alterations, or new facility designs for Military projects such as barracks, warehouses, storage facilities, administrative facilities, training facilities, maintenance facilities, aircraft hangars, computer facilities, aircraft runways, taxiways, aprons, treatment plants, and the entire spectrum of infrastructure (road and utility) systems. Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP) projects (a subset of Army MILCON Program) include energy reduction and renewable energy projects, including but not limited to photovoltaic, wind, microgrids, energy management control systems (EMCS) and water conservation. Projects may also include design of waterfront or in water facilities such as piers and marine terminals, which would require design services for either sustainment of existing facilities or design of new facilities. Demolition of existing facilities may be required which will necessitate asbestos and or lead based paint investigation with provisions for removal included in the design documents. Design services may also be required to support the Interagency and International Services (IIS) Program providing technical assistance to non-Department of Defense (DoD) federal agencies, state and local governments, tribal nations, private U.S. firms, international organizations, and foreign governments. Designs may require compliance with previously obtained environmental clearance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Project designs may require measures for environmental restoration to include wetlands development and establishing or restoring plant and animal habitat. Projects may be required to mitigate impacts on protected resources such as plant and animal species. Other design strategies may be necessary to meet the requirements of an environmental clearance issued for the project, such as limiting land disturbing activity to specific seasons of the year or controlling the generation of dust and equipment exhaust. Project designs may also be required to address cultural and biological resource preservation, clean air and water attainment goals, and other resource protection requirements. Although the primary intent of this prospective MATOC is Military Design, design services may also include support of the Civil Works Program. Civil Works project studies and designs could involve levees, floodwalls, dams, spillways, various mechanical gate structures, pumping stations, stilling basins, hydraulic flow control structures, and bridges. Civil Works studies may include, but not be limited to, the evaluation of flood damage, preparation of engineering analysis, acquisition of topographic and hydrographic data, and environmental restoration to include wetlands development. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: All interested firms are encouraged to respond to this notice and may do so by submitting a capabilities statement. The capabilities statement is limited to six (6) pages total and shall include the following information: * Firm's name, address, point of contract, phone number, and email address. * Firm's business size. * Demonstration of the firm's experience as a prime contractor on projects of similar size, scope, and complexity within the past five (5) years. List at least three (3) completed projects and include project title, location, brief description of the project, dollar amount of the project, and work that was self-performed. Please consider the following when preparing your capabilities statement: Task orders for large businesses will generally contain more complex requirements with an anticipated value ranging from $250,000 to $5,000,000 or greater. The A-E will be expected to handle multiple task orders throughout South Pacific District simultaneously. The response must be specific to the qualifications listed above to show that the respondent meets the requirements and possesses the necessary skills and experience. If a response does not show that the respondent meets the qualifications and/or does not possess the necessary skills and experience, the results of the Government’s market research will not reflect the accurate number of qualified and interested firms. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT announcement only. It is NOT a request for quote/proposal. There is no solicitation available at this time. This notice does not represent a commitment by the Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of information or any other costs incurred as a response to this announcement. Inquiries will only be accepted in writing via email to cynthia.r.dmitrijev@usace.army.mil on or before 8 March 2021 by 12:00 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST).
