## Description

Notice for an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) for Architect and Engineering (AE) Services to Support the Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay, Coastal Storm Risk Management and Ecosystem Restoration, Freeport (and Vicinity) Solicitation Number: W912HY19R5328 Set-Aside Code: Unrestricted Full and Open Competition Response Date: 30 April 2019 Description: ALL QUESTIONS SHALL BE SUBMITTED VIA THE BIDDER INQUIRY PORTAL IN PROJNET AS DESCRIBED IN THE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS BELOW. This notice is posted in its entirety and hereby serves as the official solicitation for this project. CONTRACT INFORMATION: A-E Services for this contract include, but are not limited to, survey, investigations, comprehensive planning, technical analysis, modeling, engineering, design, construction phase services, and any necessary project and technical requirements that support the design and implementation of the project features. Capabilities include, but are not limited to, the development of preliminary studies through feasibility report development; engineering design through detailed plans, specifications; design/build request for proposal packages; design analysis/design documentation report preparation; value engineering; cost estimates, technical and bid-ability, constructability, operability, environmental, and sustainability (BCOES) reviews; real estate acquisition support; engineering during construction; and construction phase services for the Freeport levee system improvements and ecosystem restoration. The A-E may also be required to participate in teams executing projects through alternative methods of delivery that include, but are not limited to, early contractor involvement, pre-qualification of sources, etc. This announcement is for a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) for A-E services with a total capacity of $72M. Selection of the A-E firm is not based upon competitive bidding procedures, but rather upon the professional qualifications necessary for the performance of the required services. Only the firm considered most highly qualified will be awarded a contract. A single award will be made from this solicitation. The contracts will be awarded for a term not to exceed a total of eight (8) years, which includes a four (4) year base period and two (2) two-year options. Work under this contract will be subject to satisfactory negotiation of individual task orders, with the total contract value of this procurement not to exceed $72,000,000 over the eight-year life of the contract. Rates will be negotiated for each 12-month period of the contract. The small business size standard is a maximum of $15 million of average annual receipts for its preceding three (3) fiscal years.

If a large business is selected for this contract, compliance with FAR 52.219-9 is required, which includes a subcontracting plan for that part of the work it intends to subcontract. This plan will be submitted for review during the contract negotiation phase. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this action is 541330. PROJECT INFORMATION: Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay is located along the upper Texas coast, comprising the coastlines of six counties: Galveston, Harris, Brazoria, Jefferson, Chambers and Orange. The project covers a 120-mile stretch of the upper Texas coast along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline from the Texas/Louisiana border at Sabine Pass in the east, to the western end of Galveston Island at San Luis Pass in the southwest. The project area includes Gulf and bay waters, barrier islands, marshes, coastal wetlands, rivers and streams and adjacent areas that make up the interrelated coastal area. Critical coastal ecosystems including sea turtle nesting habitat, piping plover critical habitat as well as two state and Federal wildlife refuges are within the project area. This region is home to more than five million people and is a major economic hub for Houston (Nation's fourth largest city), Freeport, Beaumont, and Port Arthur. Three of the Nation's top ten deep-draft ports, and 40 percent of the Nation's petrochemical industry lies within the project's footprint. In the entire study area, over 200 houses and up to 40,000 people are affected by shore erosion. This reach of the upper Texas coastal zone is at risk from wind and surge damage during storm events. The area has experienced significant shoreline erosion causing the destruction of nationally significant wetlands, loss of land and damage to homes, commercial property, and State Highway 87. Over the last ten years, the entire area was significantly altered both physically and economically causing billions in damages. A "new start" feasibility study was performed to evaluate alternatives to address the problems identified, and the final study recommendations were approved by the Chief of Engineers on 7 December 2017. The recommended plan consists of three Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) measures: 1) Orange, which includes a new levee system (floodwalls, earthen levee, pump stations, drainage structures, and closure gates); 2) Port Arthur (and vicinity), which includes improvements and extension to an existing levee system (floodwalls, earthen levee, and closure gates); and 3) Freeport (and vicinity), which includes improvements to an existing levee system (floodwalls, earthen levee, closure gates, drainage structures, pump station, and navigable sector gate). These three CSRM measures each function as independent systems. This SATOC is to support the design and implementation of the Freeport levee system improvements and ecosystem restoration. The Freeport system includes, but is not limi
