The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New Orleans District , is excited to announce an Industry Day focused on a Design-Build Indefinite-Quantity Multiple Award Task Order Contract (IDIQ MATOC) with a total shared capacity not to exceed (NTE) $99M to meet the requirements of designing plans (to include preparing design documentation, undergoing USACE engineering review, and acquiring any required permits) for providing localized non-structural solutions in the form of structure elevations for residents and dry floodproofing for commercial buildings to support eligible properties in the Southwest Coastal Louisiana Nonstructural Coastal Storm Risk Management Project (SWCLA). These properties identified during feasibility are situated in the eligible lowest-lying floodplain. Of these properties, it is estimated 320 can be floodproofed under current funding availability. The remaining use of this MATOC’s ordering capacity will be reliant upon future funding of SWCLA or similar projects in the region.

Highlights of the Industry Day Include:

• Introduction: Mission Overview
• Project Details: Construction requirements of designing plans for localized non-structural solutions in the form of structure elevations for residents and dry floodproofing for commercial buildings to support eligible properties in the Southwest Coastal Louisiana Nonstructural Coastal Storm Risk Management Project (SWCLA).
• Design Build Process and Engineering Requirements Overview: Learn about the expectations of a design-build contractor for USACE and the differing requirements from a privately funded house elevation project and grant programs you may have worked on.
• Construction: QA/QC and Safety
• Federal Contracting Insights: Learn about federal procurement processes, best practices, and how to navigate government contracting.
• Networking Opportunities: Meet USACE leadership, connect with peers in the industry, and explore potential collaborations.

Who Should Attend?
Entrepreneurs, business leaders, and representatives from companies of all sizes and
socioeconomic backgrounds interested in federal contracting, particularly in sectors related to engineering, construction, and support services for floodproofing projects.  We encourage participation by engineering design and construction professionals.
