The Kansas City District is soliciting feedback from industry as part of our market research efforts associated with this acquisition and is considering various acquisition strategies to deliver this project and requests input from industry.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District (NWK) has a recurring requirement for Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) Architect-Engineer services in support of the Northwestern Division (NWD) and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 2. This regional AE contract acquisition will be conducted in accordance with 40 U.S.C. Chapter 11 – Selection of Architects and Engineers, and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.6 and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.6.

These contracts will primarily be used for work assigned to the NWD Districts (including Kansas City, Omaha, and Seattle Districts). This includes work both within and outside of the NWD boundaries with the potential for work to be performed within EPA Region 2 boundaries (including New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands). In support of this effort, the contract will be a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC).

Due to the nature of the requirements, projects are typically completed in phases such as preliminary assessment, remedial investigation, feasibility study, design, engineering during construction, post-construction long term operations or monitoring, and post-construction optimization or modifications to existing systems and remedies. The project scope will be reviewed to determine whether the requirement can be accomplished using a firm fixed-price task order or whether uncertainties will require the use of a cost-reimbursement accounting system.

The government is requesting a complete submittal for the attachment.
