The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation seeks professional services for hydrographic data collection within its Upper Colorado region, primarily in New Mexico. The focus is on gathering detailed information about river channels and floodplains, including cross-section and topographic surveys, water discharge measurements, and sampling. Contractors will face challenging field conditions and must provide specialized equipment and personnel with expertise in hydrographic data collection.
Multiple professional services are also required, including hydraulic and general engineering tasks, such as design work, data analysis, and computer modeling. These services involve subsurface investigations, geomorphic assessments, and potable water systems analysis. Additionally, the bureau seeks technical support for reducing field notes, computer programming for data conversion and interface development, and environmental services for investigations, compliance, and monitoring.
LiDAR elevation data acquisition is a key component, with strict accuracy requirements adhering to USGS standards. The data will assist in assessing channel and floodplain conditions for the Middle Rio Grande Project. Contractors must ensure high-quality LiDAR data delivery, including point cloud classification and various geospatial models.
Color aerial photography is another vital component, with the goal of producing accurate digital orthorectified imagery. The project has a strong emphasis on adhering to specific accuracy standards and delivering metadata and geospatial data.
The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is expected to focus primarily on the Rio Grande and its tributaries, with individual task orders outlining specific requirements. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in hydraulic engineering, geomorphology, and environmental sciences, while providing their own equipment and ensuring quality control.
The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire specialized services for rangeline surveying and bed material sampling in various terrain conditions. The focus is on capturing accurate data amidst challenges such as snow, flooding, and dense vegetation, which may obstruct satellite signals. The photos attached offer a visual representation of these typical conditions. The required work involves navigating these environments to collect precise geological samples, including sand, gravel, and cobble. The contract seeks a comprehensive understanding of the land's current state, aiming to uncover valuable insights into its geomorphology. This project is time-sensitive, with potential impacts of weather and seasonal changes, and the evaluation of bids will prioritize past experience and expertise in similar complex surveying tasks.
The document pertains to Solicitation # 140R4024R0012 for a Hydrographic Data Collection Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, focusing on the submission of Requests for Qualifications (SF-330 forms). Key guidelines state that there is no page limit for the SF-330, but submissions should be concise, avoiding extraneous filler. An organizational chart may be submitted on an 11 x 17 page. All related documents will be found on SAM.gov, and questions will not utilize ProjNet or similar platforms. Only one SF-330 submission is needed, which can be a printed or emailed copy, due by 5:00 P.M. MDT on September 13, 2024. Late submissions will not be considered, and faxed submissions are prohibited. This request aims to gather qualifications for hydrographic data collection services, ensuring that interested parties understand submission requirements and deadlines thoroughly.
The Bureau of Reclamation's Upper Colorado Basin Region seeks professional services for hydrographic data collection and related tasks through a multiple-award IDIQ contract with a $48 million ceiling over five years. The primary objective is to obtain hydrographic data collection services, including topographic and cross-section surveys, sample collections, and water quality analysis. Additionally, the bureau requires technical expertise in hydraulic and general engineering, technician support, data management, and environmental services. The request outlines specific evaluation criteria for selecting architect-engineering firms, emphasizing their qualifications, experience, and capacity. Firms interested in this small business set-aside must submit their qualifications by the deadline to be considered for the initial shortlist. Interviews will then determine the most technically competent firms, from which a minimum of two will be awarded contracts with a guaranteed minimum value.
