Projects may involve work in specialty areas such as alterations in historic buildings or asbestos abatement work. Services may include assisting the GSA staff in "in-house" design and construction inspections. Other construction related services which may be awarded include land surveys, material testing services (including concrete, structural steel, soils testing, comprehensive subsurface investigations and structural studies of existing buildings). Disciplines and services required may include architectural, electrical, mechanical, structural, civil engineering, communications, energy conservation, cost estimating, elevator design, fire-safety and hazardous material consultant services. Expertise in the areas of space planning and green/sustainable building design is also desired. It is preferable that the key specialties (architectural, mechanical and electrical) be contained within the primary firm?s office. The duration of the base contract will be one (1) year. The contract will include a provision for four (4) options, each of which could extend the contract for an additional one (1) year period and may be exercised at the option of the Government. The maximum order limitation is $750,000 for each one-year period. The following have been identified as potential projects to be accomplished under this contract: (1) New Direct Digital Control (DDC) System. (2) Chiller Replacement and; (3) HVAC Improvements Study. Projects of a similar nature may be substituted or added to the contract. The selected firm must negotiate overhead and profit rates and hourly rates for anticipated disciplines for use in negotiating fixed price work orders. For projects with an estimated construction cost of $750,000 or less, the Government may use the fixed price amounts provided in the Supplemental A/E Lookup Table provided during initial contract negotiations. The Government, however, reserves the right to award a contract based on negotiated overhead, profit, and hourly rates only, as well as to use those rates for work orders which do not fall within the scope of the Lookup Table. Consideration will be limited to firms having an existing active design production office within the geographic borders of the state of Indiana and Illinois, except Cook County. Each joint venture must have an existing active design production office within the designated geographic limitations. Joint venture or firm/consultant arrangements will be considered and evaluated on a demonstrated interdependency of the members to provide a quality design effort. In addition, all firms and their consultants must: (1) have in house CADD capabilities (compatible with the latest version of AutoCad) and; (2) use AIA Masterspec as the basis for developing the construction contract documents. For Division 15 and 16 specification sections, the Architect/Engineer shall develop his/her own specifications edited to the full extent necessary for each specific project. Any available specifications (AIA, Navy, Military, NASA, etc.) may be used as a guide in developing the individual specifications for Sections 15 and 16; the specifications, however, shall be prepared using the AIA Masterspec format, (3) have familiarity with Microsoft Project Software Program. Selection to be based upon: (1) Project Team, including key personnel with commitment to projects and qualifications and relevant experience as individuals and as a team; (2) Design Management/Organization, including project management planning, coordination, scheduling, cost control methods, production facilities, capabilities and techniques for both design projects and construction inspection; (3) Design Ability/Potential, including visual and narrative evidence of team's ability with respect to innovative design solutions; (4) Demonstrated Design/Construction Experience, including demonstration of past performance of similar types of services on similar projects, including work on historic structures.
