Architect and Engineering Services for Production Technical Services (PTS) for FEMA's Risk MAP Program

Description of Services: The purpose of this acquisition is to procure PTS services to support FEMA/Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration’s (FIMA) Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) program. FIMA requires Contractor provided A&E services to generate and evaluate flood hazard and risk information and support for the development and implementation of mitigation, planning, flood mapping and modeling activities. FIMA’s Risk Management Directorate (RMD) has operated the Risk MAP program since 2009. Through collaboration with federal, state, local, and tribal stakeholders, Risk MAP delivers quality data to increase public awareness and leads to actions that reduce risk to life and property. Risk MAP is closely aligned with FEMA Strategic Goal 1.1, “Incentivize investments that reduce risk, including pre-disaster mitigation, and reduce disaster costs at all levels.” The flood mapping and modeling activities provided by the PTS Contractors are the basis for FEMA/National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) floodplain management regulations and flood insurance requirements. The NFIP maintains and updates flood hazard information through flood insurance rate maps and risk assessments for the United States and its territories under the PTS contracts. The PTS scope of work includes A&E services for the National and Regional flood mapping project portfolio which incorporates the following: discovery activities, base level engineering, light detection and rating collection, field surveys, coastal erosion mapping, coastal surge analysis, coastal overland analysis, coastal outreach, levee analyses, levee floodplain mapping, local levee partnership team outreach, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, re-delineation, floodplain mapping, and flood-risk products. The deliverables provided under the PTS Contracts include but are not limited to statistical information and data for river flow, storm tides, hydrologic/hydraulic analyses, rainfall, and topographic surveys. See the IDIQ contract performance work statement (PWS) provided as Attachment 2 of this synopsis for a complete description of the scope of work to be provided. Please note the attached PWS applies to all three zones.
