Description
Geotechnical Investigations to support the design of the Mendota Pool Bypass and Reach 2B Improvements Project
This is a request for Standard Form (SF) 330 Architect-Engineer (A-E) qualification packages.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has a requirement for Architect-Engineering (A-E) services. The Government intends to award a firm fixed contract. This project is a 100% total small business set aside. The estimated value of this requirement ranges between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00.
2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The purpose of this contract is to assist the San Joaquin River Restoration Program Office with Geotechnical Investigations which are required to support the design of the Mendota Pool Bypass and Reach 2B Improvements Project. Specific components of the anticipated support activities include Geotechnical Investigation, Sampling, Geological Logging, Photography, Laboratory Testing, and a Geotechnical Data Report. See attached Statement of Work for more details.
3. SELECTION PROCESS: The selection will be made using a two-phase process. Phase I consists of the initial evaluation of the SF-330 packages and determination of the three highest rated firms. Negotiations with the three most highly rated firms may occur in Phase I. Firms that are not ranked in the top three will be notified at this time. In Phase II, the highest ranked firm will receive a solicitation requesting a price proposal. Negotiations will be conducted as needed. If the proposal is determined fair and reasonable, award will be made to that firm. If negotiations are not successful with the highest rated firm, the negotiation process will continue with the next highest rated firm, and so on until award can be made.
4. SELECTION CRITERIA: Phase I: Firms responding to this notice will be evaluated and ranked using the selection criteria listed below. The factors are listed in descending order of importance.
(1) Professional Qualifications: The evaluation will consider education, registration, overall relevant geotechnical engineering investigation experience with relevant projects, and longevity with the firm.
(2) Specialized Experience: The evaluation will consider specialized experience in performing:
(i) Geotechnical investigations as described above.
(ii) Subsurface investigation as described above.
(iii) Inspection services as described above.
(iv) Laboratory Testing

(3) Capacity to Accomplish the Work in the Required Time: Capacity to perform approximately $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00 within the period of performance in the Statement of Work. The evaluation will consider the availability of an adequate number of personnel in key disciplines and equipment.
(4) Past Performance: Past performance on Bureau of Reclamation and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules, as determined from CPARS and other sources. Letters of recommendation, endorsements, and other relevant information submitted by the A-E firm will be considered.
(5) Knowledge of the Locality/ Geographic Location of Firm: The evaluation will consider the firms knowledge of Merced County near Mendota Dam and Columbia Pumping Plant in Merced, CA. The most advantageous location would be nearest to Merced, CA. The criterion would only be applied if it leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms given the nature and size of the project.
