Architect-Engineer (AE) Services under individual task orders Mobile District’s Water and Wastewater Technical Center of Expertise (TCX)

AE services to support Mobile District’s Water and Wastewater TCX will provide planning, design and construction support services which meet the definition of AE Services as defined in 40 U.S.C. 1101 and FAR 2.101. The selected firms must have the capability, thru in-house staff or consultants, to perform the required services. The Mobile District’s Water and Wastewater TCX is a national center of expertise under the Corps of Engineers Planning and Excellence Program that provides guidance to the rest of the USACE in areas including potable water supply, treatment, storage and distribution, domestic and industrial water and wastewater collection, pumping, treatment, and disposal. Projects will be for comprehensive support of the Water and Wastewater TCX mission for various military, civil, and federal agency stakeholders. 

AE firms will provide a full range of comprehensive technical and engineering support, both timely and cost effective, to support the Water and Wastewater TCX. Firms will be required to provide project problem, definition, and solution services that are highly correlated to water, wastewater, and civil projects that include, but are not limited to, the following: information and data gathering; interviewing and investigations; utility locations and GIS application; investigation and utilization of membranes for water and wastewater applications; water treatment processes and technologies and wastewater treatment technologies; bench-top chemistry and/or testing for biological nutrient reduction; bio-gas production and capture, bio-filter technology, odor reduction, sludge reduction and disposal technology implementation; energy reduction and optimization for water and wastewater applications; leak detection methodologies and leak location pinpointing; utilization of software for development and calibrating models of water and wastewater networks such as WaterGems, SewerCad, etc.; processing programs simulating chemical precipitation unit operations, wastewater treatment processes such as Bio-Win or other proven in-depth biological, chemical, and physical process modeling software; pumping systems and pumping stations to include water, wastewater, stormwater, and irrigation systems; “purple pipe” applications and reuse of treated wastewaters, wastewater reduction programs, water conservation, energy conservation, and best management practices (BMPs) for water and wastewater applications; conduct field reviews of district commands’ execution of quality management and recommend necessary corrective actions when warranted; support all project phases including the Reconnaissance phase, Feasibility phase, Preconstruction engineering and design (PED) phase, Construction phase, and Operation, Maintenance, Repair, Replacement, and Rehabilitation phase; comply with environmental laws, including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), that require extensive federal, state and public coordination to support the HTRW Program; provide Civil Engineering products; provide Cost Engineering for projects, analyzing, capturing and conveying the assumptions associated with the greater probability of unforeseen conditions and contingencies; and Quality Control, Quality Assurance, Technical Assistance and Technical Review of engineering products.
