1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This Pre-solicitation Notice is for interested firms to submit their SF 330 by February 18, 2025, 14:00 hours, CST. Firms will be selected for negotiations based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP).  The services to be procured under this announcement are classified in North American Industry Classification System Code 541330 Engineering Services with a small business size standard of $25.5M.  This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6.

One Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) will be negotiated and awarded from this solicitation. Work will be accomplished under an IDC base, with a performance period of five (5) years.  Work will be issued by negotiated firm fixed-price or labor-hour task orders. The cumulative total of Task Orders issued over the life of the contract shall not exceed a capacity of $5.0 million. This IDC contract will have a $1,000 minimum guarantee. Allocation of Task Orders will be based on specialized experience, past performance, project schedules, and/or current workload.

The work consists of professional A-E services required for performing Hydraulic and Hydrologic Modeling, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and mapping, economic consequences assessment, Corps Water Management System (CWMS), CWMS Control and Visualization Interface (CAVI) integration, documentation, and other related engineering services to support requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Modeling, Mapping, and Consequences (MMC) Production Center. The scope of these services and project locations are nationwide.

2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Dam and Levee Safety Programs and the Office of Homeland Security (OHS) have tasked the MMC to develop, on an expedited schedule, dam break flood inundation modeling and mapping for USACE inventory of 700 plus water resources projects (dams). These efforts will support national critical infrastructure protection responsibilities led by USACE under the Dam Safety and Levee Safety programs portfolio development and undergo risk assessments led by the Risk Management Center (RMC). The MMC Production Center was also charged with supporting the Hydraulics, Hydrology, and Coastal Engineering (HH&C) Community of Practice community in producing H&H CWMS suites of models for all 201 USACE operational watersheds.  The USACE's vision is to achieve a safe, secure, and more resilient Corps civil works infrastructure by enhancing its protection to prevent, deter, or mitigate the potential for dam and levee failure and improve preparedness, response, and rapid recovery in the event of an attack, natural disaster, and other emergencies. A major initiative within this effort involves the development of CWMS suite of models, dam break flood hydraulic models, inundation mapping, and consequence estimates. Lastly, the MMC Production Center also is currently supporting FEMA with its methodology development and production for its Future of Flood Risk Data (FFRD) initiative.  Components of the initiatives above include:

• CWMS CAVI development and implementation to support daily H&H water management activities.  CWMS CAVI is the interface that contains the four main modeling components (HMS, ResSim, RAS, and FIA) and oversees and controls the operation of the models as they work together in the system.  Additional components may include REGI and MetVue. REGI is an interface that uses the information in the CWMS database to display reports, charts/graphs, and other information such as performing simple calculations. MetVue is a tool that facilitates viewing and manipulation of meteorological datasets as well as performing a variety of computations and analyses, including temporal and spatial aggregation of datasets and areal average computations.
• HMS, ResSim, RAS, FIA, and CAVI improvements to support District implementation of CWMS, and the production of specified inundation map layers.
• Development of static map libraries and consequences for the Rapid Inundation Mapping (RIM) Builder in accordance with MMC Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). This shall include one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and integrated one/two dimensional hydraulic models from CWMS, over a variety of specified hydraulic scenarios.
• Support for the Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Cadre, including the development of two dimensional modeling efforts and consequence models.
• Development of updated dam and/or levee break flood models, inundation mapping, and consequence estimates using HEC-RAS and LifeSim in accordance with MMC Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). This shall include one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and int
