Architect-Engineer Services for Various Civil Works and Support for Other Agencies IDIQ

The US Army Corps of Engineers - Rock Island District, is seeking eligible Small Business Contractors. The Contractor, as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Government, shall furnish all necessary labor, management, facilities, supplies, equipment, and materials to provide Architect-Engineer (A-E) services required for planning, engineering design, and construction engineering services for projects as generally described below and as specifically described in each task order. During the performance of the work, the Contractor shall provide adequate professional supervision and quality control to assure the accuracy, quality, completeness, and progress of the work. The work will primarily involve disciplines of structural, civil, geotechnical, geology, hydraulic, hydrologic, mechanical, electrical, specification, and cost engineering. However, other disciplines that may be required include, but are not limited to: architecture, landscape architecture, construction engineering, surveying, environmental engineering, and cartography Location of Projects: The services will be performed primarily in connection with projects located within the St. Paul, Rock Island, and St. Louis District’s geographic boundaries (all or portions of MN, ND, SD, WI, IL, MO and IA). However, individual task orders may be for work anywhere within the Continental United States (CONUS) or outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). Work to be Performed: SERVICES: The work is for civil works and support for other agencies. Services to be provided may include but are not limited to work such as: 1) preparation of preliminary and final designs, analyses, and reports; construction contract drawings and specifications including preparation of drawings using computer aided drafting (CAD), and delivering two or three-dimensional designs and drawings in Bentley MicroStation software; development of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and architectural three-dimensional models with the capability of displaying the models on two-dimensional drawings; development of Advanced Modeling for engineering and design including BIM/CIM (Building Information Modeling/Civil Information Modeling); 2) preparation of quantity take-offs and MII (MCACES Second Generation) cost estimates and cost estimating risk analysis; 3) preparation of contract specifications utilizing SPECINTACT software; 4) design and construction scheduling services including the use of Primavera and MS Project scheduling software; 5) construction engineering services including shop drawing review, contract modifications, engineering advice during construction, field inspection, and as-built drawings; 6) preparation of operation and maintenance manuals; 7) instrumentation, inspection, evaluation, and reports on completed projects; 8) value engineering and design charrettes; 9) site master planning; 10) general inspections and data collection including, surveys, geotechnical, geology, structural, mechanical, electrical, and welding (with an emphasis on hydraulic steel structures), and bridge inspections; and 11) analysis of abnormal operational response of equipment or systems including analysis of operation anomalies. TYPE OF PROJECTS Typical Projects will involve: Civil Works projects such as locks and dams, channel and harbor projects, rehabilitation of existing lock and dam facilities or the design of new facilities, and design for lock and dam major rehabilitation studies. Rehabilitation work may include the repair and replacement of deteriorated concrete; outdated machinery and electrical systems; lock and dam gates including miter, sector, Tainter, vertical lift, slide and roller gates; harbor walls, wharves, general improvement and modernization of the facility, and scour remediation. New facility work includes the design of both in-the-dry and in-the-wet lock chambers along with the appurtenant structural, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical and architectural structures and equipment such as concrete lock walls and guidewalls, sheet pile cofferdams, earthen cofferdams, miter/lock gates, culvert valves, dam gates, invasive species deterrent systems, machinery systems (including electromechanical and hydraulic), hardwired (relay based logic) and PLC electrical controls, and control buildings. Flood Risk Management projects such as, but not limited to, levee, floodwall, pumping station, and channel projects. Specific projects may include the rehabilitation of existing protection systems; the formulation, conceptual design, and final design of new protection systems (including all environmental aspects) involving primarily riverine flooding; and assessments of existing protection systems. Rehabilitation work may include design improvements to meet desired outcomes such as increased resiliency, reduced risk, higher levels-of-protection, improved operation, and recreational and aesthetic enhancements. New protection systems may involve floodwall and levee designs along with conceptual design formulations and analysis; civil site layout; utility and roadway relocations; roadway or railroad closure gates, berms, relief wells, interior drainage structures; and pumping stations. Assessments will include inspection and investigation of existing flood protection systems for condition evaluation and compliance with levee safety standards. Other projects, including dredging; ecosystem evaluation and restoration; wetlands and stream restoration, water management, design of parking lots; roadways; buildings to include structural, mechanical, and electrical features; building projects for the Veteran Affairs (VA) Administration, building projects in support of military construction, bridges to include material and weld testing of various bridge components; utilities; erosion protection; water and wastewater structures; hydrologic or hydraulic related projects; geotechnical and geology related projects, designs, and investigations; hoists and cranes; recreational trails; and security fencing. Work may include the rehabilitation of existing facilities and design of new proposed facilities. Dam and Levee Safety Analyses, Periodic Inspections, and Periodic Assessments. The Contractor may be required to conduct interdisciplinary engineering and/or periodic inspections of USACE and non-USACE owned structures. In addition to the actual inspection other work including but not limited to preparation of planning documents, schedules, safety plans, progress reporting, progress monitoring, pre-inspection brochure, and preparation of the draft/final reports including recommendations for repairs, photographs, trip reports, and data plots may be required. The work may include coordination with several USACE offices as well as coordination with local project sponsors who operate various features to be inspected. Result briefings may be required to various USACE officials. Some of the structures that might be inspected and analyzed include embankment dams, locks and dams, levees, pump stations, bridges, outlet structures, and gravity drains. Incidental services may include HTRW investigations and analysis; NEPA documentation, formulation, and evaluation; climate change analysis; fire protection and fire system design; surveying and mapping; and landscaping.
