The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement for the EAA Reservoir Design Project. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 541330 (Engineering Services) with a small business size standard of $15,000,000. There is no solicitation at this time. This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of the Architect Engineering industry, The Government must ensure there is adequate capability and competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors. Project Description: The EAA Reservoir Design project will include the design of an above ground Reservoir, Pump Station, various Water Control Structures, and associated distribution canals. The EAA area includes a 10,500-acre above-ground storage reservoir (i.e., the A-2 Reservoir) and an adjacent 6,500-acre Stormwater Treatment Area (STA) (i.e., the A-2 STA). The A-2 Reservoir is intended to have a normal full storage depth of approximately 22.6 feet of water that corresponds to a normal full storage level of 31.10 feet-NAVD. The A-2 STA is proposed to be located west of the A-2 Reservoir allowing for an outfall to the Miami Canal. The shallow A-1 Flow Equalization Basin (FEB) with an existing 60,000 acre-feet (ac-ft) of storage would remain to the east of the proposed A-2 Reservoir. The design would also include an inflow-outflow canal for the A-2 Reservoir proposed to be located along the northern boundary of the project area that extends from the North New River (NNR) to the Miami Canal. Proposed Pump Station and gated spillways will be jointly operated to allow the Pump Station to pump water from the A-2 Reservoir Inflow-Outflow Canal into the A-2 Reservoir with the flexibility to control flows from the NNR and Miami Canal to the A-2 Reservoir Inflow-Outflow Canal. The Pump Station will serve as the main inflow structure for filling the A-2 Reservoir. The pump station is proposed to be located along the north embankment of the A-2 Reservoir approximately 2.8 miles west of the NNR Canal. Inflows to the pump will be provided by the A-2 Reservoir Inflow-Outflow Canal that is proposed to extend from the Miami Canal to the NNR Canal. The A-2 Reservoir Pump Station required maximum flow capacity is 4,500 cfs that is based on a maximum inflow of 3,000 cfs from the Miami Canal and a maximum inflow of 1,500 cfs from the NNR Canal. Estimated construction range: Greater than $900M Firm's response to this Synopsis shall be limited to 25 pages and shall include the following information: 1. Firm's name, address, point of contact, phone number, website, and email address. 2. Firm's interest in bidding on the solicitation when it is issued. 3.
