A-E Services IDC

A-E services are required to provide the full spectrum of design disciplines on all or portions of Civil Works projects (primary), feasibility studies (secondary), emergency operations support (secondary), and vertical engineering and construction phase services (secondary). Projects will primarily be within the Los Angeles District boundaries, which encompasses AZ, CA, NV, and UT. This work will include all Architectural-Engineering (A-E) and related services necessary to complete the assigned task orders for studies and designs. A specific scope of work and services will be issued with each task order. Specific A-E services required to provide the full spectrum of design disciplines and services shall consist of engineering and design for 1) civil construction projects including support to the Border Patrol, Veterans Administration, and various Military Installations, 2) coastal and port facilities, 3) dam and levee safety, 4) feasibility studies, 5) support to emergency operations such as evaluation of levee systems during flood events, and 6) inland flood control projects. Typical studies include field investigations, evaluation of data and complex geotechnical foundation conditions including liquefaction potential, seismic evaluation of large dams including finite element analysis and static seismic deformations of embankments, development of earthquake ground motions and seismic analysis parameters, complex ground water modeling studies, dewatering systems, geotechnical engineering risk assessment analyses, and levee systems inspections and evaluations. Recommendations for foundation design and construction for bridges, single and multistory buildings, roadways, bridges, and other infrastructure is required. Studies will also include soil-structure interaction, geologic studies, fissure and faulting studies, seepage analysis for dams, spillway thermal studies, materials engineering including concrete, roller compacted concrete and soil cement slope protection designs, forensic geotechnical and materials engineering evaluations, and rock, earth-fill and materials construction engineering consultation and testing, and offshore geotechnical investigations and designs for dredged channels, breakwaters, revetments, seawalls, beach nourishment, and confined dredged materials. The firm will have the capacity to provide geotechnical support during District flood and earthquake emergency response activities such as erosion protection evaluations and slope stability, seepage, stress and deformation. The firm will also have the capacity to perform offshore vibracore drilling and sampling, geophysical testing and interpretation, and geotechnical sampling and testing for large dams in highly active seismic environments. The Government will provide fully defined requirements for each task order, which may include one or more of the following: performance-based specifications, conceptual drawings and specifications, and Autocadd/MicroStation generated drawings. The contractor may be required to participate in the development of the final scope of work for individual task orders and be required to provide technical or engineering services such as laboratory testing for rock, soil, and concrete materials, detailed drawings generated in Autocadd and/or MicroStation, surveying, hazardous and toxic waste evaluations, and other submittals in support of investigations, design and construction. The selected A-E firms will be required to possess an approved Department of Defense Cost Accounting System; or be capable of obtaining such an approved system, certified by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). The Government will likely request audit data from the A-E contractor's accounting system from the DCAA during negotiation of the proposal for the requirement.
