Indefinite Delivery Contract (Idc) for Architect- Engineering (A-E) Services for Hydrographic and Topographic Surveys

AE services are required to provide hydrographic and topographic services primarily in support of the Civil Works mission area. Similar services may be required to support the Military and Interagency and International Support (IIS) missions. The contractor will be required to perform service primarily within the San Francisco District boundaries. The contracts may also be used by other Districts within South Pacific Division (Sacramento, Los Angeles and Albuquerque Districts) to encompass the entire South Pacific Division geographical area of responsibility which can include CA, NV, UT and AZ and portions of OR, ID, CO and WY. The work to be performed under this contract shall consist of furnishing all necessary labor, materials, supplies, and equipment required for professional (A-E) services as defined in the contract and as specified by individual task orders. All work shall be accomplished in full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations as well as with established Corps of Engineers manuals, policies, standards and practices, and other professional standards and practices as necessitated by project conditions or task order requirements. Examples of applicable Corps requirements include Engineer Regulation ER-1110-2-1150, the current Architectural/Engineering/Construction (A/E/C) Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) Standards, ERDC/ITL TR-12-1, CAD Drafting Standard, and Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE). Each task order will have its own scope describing required services and schedule based on the complexity of the applicable project. Task Order proposals will be evaluated based on the level of effort for the scope of services developed for individual projects. In addition, the selected firm could be directed to provide supplemental technical and professional services in support of SPN's normal and emergency activities. Services required include all A-E and related services necessary to perform various surveys, including hydro-surveying, topographic and boundary surveys, aerial photography, and LIDAR surveys. Additional information about scope of design, investigations and studies is summarized below. The summary may not represent all types of tasks that may be requested. 1. Geodetic and Water Level Datum Evaluation and Establishment. Evaluate and/or establish geodetic and/or water level networks to meet project specific accuracy and reliability requirements. Complete work in accordance with EM 1110-2-6056: Standards and Procedures Referencing Project Elevation Grades to Nationwide Vertical Datums (31 December 2010), EM 1110-1-1002: Survey Markers and Monumentation (1 March 2012), and EM 1110-1-1003: NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying (28 February 2011). 2. Hydro-surveying. Perform multi beam acoustic surveys, as well as side scan sonar. Conduct work during high tide, unless otherwise indicated in individual task orders. Complete work in accordance with EM 1110-2-1003: Hydro-Survey (30 November 2013). Technical standards established by State Boards of registration, especially on projects requiring licensed surveyors or mappers, shall be followed when legally applicable. 3. Topographic Surveys. Work shall be completed in accordance with EM 1110-1-1005: Control and Topographic Surveying (1 January 2007). The recommended standard is the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Accuracy Standards for Large Scale Maps. a. Three Dimensional Surveys: Topographic surveying to determine the planimetric location and topographic relief of features in three dimensions.Surveys may be used to produce Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). b. Large Scale Site Plans: Typically 1 inch = 10 feet to 1 inch = 200 feet. c. Digital Spatial Data: Digital mapping, generation of Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) systems and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Land Information System (LIS), Automated Mapping/Facility Management (AM/FM) and other spatial databases. d. Ground survey control support. If datum conversions are required,conversions will be provided by district or contractor will submit proposed conversions to district for approval prior to use, as specified by task order. Restriction: The software program VertCon cannot be used for converting between datums without special, written approval from the district. 4. Boundary Surveys. A Boundary Survey will indicate the extent of any easements, burdening the locus parcel, such as a utility line easement crossing the subject property to a neighboring property or appurtenant to the locus parcel; control surveys, and surveys required for cadastral and land parcel mapping. 5. Record of Surveys. To be filed and recorded with the County Recorder’s Office 6. Title Search Services. To identify neighboring properties than can be impacted by Government operations, real estate, other property right and easement issues the AE will be asked to perform the search and provide copies of Title entries. 7. Utility Surveys. The AE will be required to perform Utility Surveys to locate on land subterranean installed utilities and utilities that cross shipping channels and installed in maritime environments. Utility Surveys can require title searches required to identify the utility line 8. Aerial Photography, Photogrammetric Mapping, LIDAR Surveys. Conduct all aerial photography and surveys during low tide unless otherwise indicated in individual Task Order. LIDAR surveys may be requested. Complete work in accordance with EM 1110-1-1000: Photogrammetric and LiDAR Mapping (30 April 2015), EM 1110-2-2907: Remote Sensing (1 October 2003), The Federal Geographic Data Committee, Geospatial Accuracy Standards for the recognized industry standard for accuracy compliance criteria; Part 3 - National Standard for Spatial Accuracy (1998), update of Office of Management and Budget United States National Map Accuracy Standards, and Part 4 of the latest FGDC Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards. 9. Structural Deformation Surveying: Perform structural deformation surveys on earthen dams, concrete dams, concrete bulkheads and other structures requiring deformation monitoring due to seismic and tectonic movement, as required by the individual Task Order. Complete work in accordance with EM 1110-2-1009, Structural Deformation Surveying (28 Feb 2018). 10. CADD and GIS Data. All projects shall include metadata fully compliant with the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata, FGDC-STD-001- 1998, EM 1110-1-2909: Geospatial Data and Systems. The Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment is the USACE data content standard. CADD and GIS required data (i.e., vector data) must conform to this standard: EM 1110-1-2909: (CADD) per the A/E/C CADD Standard at https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/CAD (registration required).
