Firm Inquiries update, Note #4: The ability to enter technical inquiries and questions relating to proposal procedures will be disabled July 5th. 1. SYNOPSIS: This announcement is open to all small businesses classified using the Small Business Size standard of $22.5M for the associated North American Industry Classification System code 541330 “Engineering Services”. The proposed services, which will be obtained by negotiated Firm-Fixed Price Contracts, are for a variety of Architect/Engineer services primarily for civil works projects located within the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division (LRD) geographical boundaries. Projects outside the LRD area may be added at the Government's discretion upon agreement of the A/E firm. Awards will be made as negotiated Firm-Fixed Price Task Orders during the period of performance. The total combined contract capacity for the MATOC is valued at $25,000,000 over a five-year period. There is no limit on the value of individual task orders except for the not-to-exceed (NTE) total contract capacity of $25,000,000. This will be a five-year contract, with no option years. The expected construction cost of all projects designed as a part of these Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) contracts are between approximately $80M and $2.6B. The period of performance for task orders issued under these contracts may extend beyond the five-year ordering period. Firm (s) that are selected for negotiation of a contract may be required to submit additional information, at a later time, for use in the evaluation of qualifications for specific Task Orders. Up to five (5) firms will be selected to be a part of the MATOC. If the Contracting Officer determines during the selection process that fewer or more contracts should be awarded, based upon the selection criteria, the Contracting Officer has the discretion of adjusting that number, or awarding none at all. Once selected, the following factors will be used in deciding which selected firm will be utilized for task orders: (1) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services; (2) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, including, where appropriate, experience in planning, hydraulics and hydrology, earthen structures, reinforced mass concrete structures bridges, culverts; pump stations, ecological restoration projects (3) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time; (4) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules; (5) Knowledge of the locality of the project; (6) Other appropriate evaluation criteria specific to the task order requirement. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar completion schedules and overlapping delivery dates. Estimated award date is November 2022. In accordance with FAR 36.604 and the supplements thereto, and upon final acceptance or termination, all task orders above $35,000 will receive a performance evaluation. A performance evaluation may be prepared for lesser task orders and interim performance evaluations may be prepared at any time. Performance evaluations will be maintained for use in future source selections for Architect-Engineer Services. 2. PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION: The selected offeror will be solely responsible for the designs that they produce and will become the designer of record or Design-Build RFP preparer for each individual project on their contract.

FAR 7.107-5 (c)(1) conslidation of contract requirements notice: The agency has determined a consolidation of contract requirements is necessary and justified. The Government intends to solicit, under FAR 36.6 procedures, to a pool of small Architectural and Engineering (A-E) firms for award consideration of a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)), and issue different task order specific projects issued under the MATOCs. Though this multiple award A-E IDC pool constitutes consolidation, this approach provides the best combination of competitive procedures, responsiveness, timely acquisition, cost efficiency, quality, and an exceptionally capable prime contractor to execute requirements of the LRD mission. While the lower estimated quantifiable benefits ($750,000) of the consolidation do not meet the standard in FAR 7.107-2(d)(1)(i), the benefits associated with mitigating the risk to the critical needs of our customers for our LRD mission as defined in this document support the consolidation. Having multiple individual contracts or multiple SATOC IDCs would not provide for the type of flexible, risk mitigation and urgent response needed to support the LRD mission needs. This, combined with the higher administrative cost and increased acquisition cycle time associated with multiple contracts, further support consolidation. Lastly, it would be significantly less burdensome to administer the A-E IDC MATOC contracts, and at the same time, consolidation will improve the quality of service to the LRD program. The findings of the market research and the documentation provided herein support the conclusion that consolidation of requirements is both necessary and justified, based on sound business judgment in view of the size, complexity and number of efforts to be executed. In accordance with FAR 7.107-2 (b), the consolidated approach provides advantages that substantially exceed the benefits of the alternatives or approaches that may result in a lesser degree of consolidation. Description of A-E River Design Services: The A-E firms would be the designer of record for individual project on their contract. Multidisciplinary projects may consist of planning, design, inspection, and related services in support of the civil works mission within the USACE Great Lakes and Ohio River Division Mission Boundaries. Those boundaries include the Great Lakes; Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky; the western parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina; the northern parts of Georgia and Alabama; the northeast parts of Mississippi and Wisconsin; and the eastern parts of Tennessee and Illinois. The A/E Design services may consist of the following activities: Hydrology and Hydraulics, Geotechnical, Structural, Civil Site, Relocations, Electrical, Mechanical, and Architectural services. The types of services include: bridge inspection, hydraulic steel structure inspection, design reports, design analysis, preparation of plans and specifications, material quantities, cost estimates, schedules, field work, and engineering during construction to support our mission. These projects include Civil Works activities associated with rivers within the LRD geographical boundaries, such as flood damage reduction projects, navigation projects, environmental restoration projects, recreation, and support for other federal, state, and local agencies.
