The Army Corps of Engineers’ Kansas City District last week issued a solicitation notice for up to five Architect-Engineer (A-E) Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW)/Environmental Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDC) in its Northwestern Region. The Corps intends to award five unrestricted contracts with a total value of $90 million, with a base period of three years and one option period of two years. “Task orders will be issued as the need arises during the contract period,” the notice said. “Task order assignments will be determined with consideration of each firm’s specialized experience and technical competence, professional qualifications, past performance, capacity, and knowledge of locality. These task orders may be either firm fixed-price or cost reimbursable type orders.” A majority of the work to be performed is expected to be for Superfund projects in EPA Region 2 as well as projects in the USACE’s NW Division, the posting said.
In evaluating the proposals, the Corps will consider, from most important to least important, “Specialized experience and technical competence of the firm demonstrated during the past five years in the broad range of HTRW/environmental work required for this contract; professional qualifications of a firm’s staff and team consultants to be assigned to this contract; past performance on DOD and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, management/business relations, and compliance with performance schedules; capacity; and knowledge of the locality.” Firms have until Oct. 9 to submit a proposal, with an award date set for March 2015.
