This is a Sources Sought Synopsis announcement for information only, to be used for market research and preliminary planning purposes. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. This is not a solicitation or a request for proposal (RFP) and no contract shall be awarded from this synopsis. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow up information requests. The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of interested AE firms who have demonstrated capabilities in meeting the project description listed below, and to address any questions, recommendations, or concerns from Industry. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition planning decisions. The proposed work will be performed under the following North American Industry Classification (NAICS) code: 541370 – Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services. The associated small business size standard is $16.5M in average annual receipts. For more information concerning NAICS and SBA size standards, go to https://www.sba.gov. The USACE NWS anticipates soliciting and awarding Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under PL 92-582 (the Brooks Act) and FAR Part 36 procurement procedures. Both large and small business AE firms are encouraged to respond to this Sources Sought announcement. Firms will be selected for negotiations based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The anticipated IDIQ will consist of a five (5) year period. The total capacity is anticipated to be $9,500,000 for the life of the contract. Description of AE Services: The anticipated AE IDIQ contract is for surveying and mapping services routinely required for military and IIS, civil works, environmental, and USACE operating projects. Recurring requirements come from a variety of sources for civil works projects and USACE operating project sites. DoD, IIS, and in-house projects are included, requiring highly qualified surveying and mapping firms. These requirements are usually not part of a complete facility design, such as MILCON projects, and may occur at any phase of project execution. The Government also uses the contract for in-house USACE design projects requiring outside surveying, subsurface utility engineering, and utility locate support. NWS task orders placed under the surveying and mapping services contract are for specialized work by professional licensed surveyors (PLS) and technicians with expertise in 2D and 3D modeled content of existing conditions accurate in form, location, and orientation. Services include cadastral, boundary, and hydrography surveys, planimetric and topographic surveys, profiles and sections, aerial photogrammetry, orthophotography, and remote sensing (ex: light detection and ranging [LiDAR]) surveys, control networks and deformation analysis, subsurface utility locates, including subsurface utility engineering (SUE), and land use/land cover interpretation. Services may be required in one or more project phases of planning, design, and construction management, and may include other relevant services as required by the Government. Projects are primarily located within the USACE Seattle, Walla Walla, and Portland District boundaries. However, work may be required on projects for other agencies served by the NWS.
