Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Civil Works Design and Survey and Photogrammetric Mapping

Services Contract, Albuquerque District USACE, New Mexico

This is a SOURCES SOUGHT announcement; a market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow up information requests.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Albuquerque District has been tasked to solicit and award an IDIQ contract for civil works design, surveying, and mapping, primarily for A-E studies and design on flood control and erosion protection projects for the civil works and or vertical construction programs within the Albuquerque District Corps of Engineers (COE) boundaries, which include Southern Colorado, New Mexico and Southwest Texas. However, the Contractor may be required to work outside this area. The successful firm may be utilized for complete projects or in support of in-house efforts. Services during the construction may include construction inspection, shop drawing review and as-built drawing preparation. This contract will be solicited and awarded in accordance with FAR Part 36 and the Brooks Act (Public Law 92-582). The type of set-aside decision to be issued will depend upon the responses to this synopsis.
