- Description
- The Broadcasting Board of Governors, International Broadcasting Bureau (BBG/IBB), Office of Contracts (M/CON), has a requirement for Architect/Engineer Planning and Design services related to Broadcast System design, maintenance, repair, alteration, and facility construction projects at various IBB Transmitting Stations (e.g., Greenville, NC; Delano, CA; Greece, Germany, Kuwait, Botswana, Sao Tome, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Saipan, the Philippines, Thailand, and Belize). The Government may make multiple awards. Design projects will be of a general nature involving the design, maintenance, repair, alteration, construction, and installation of various broadcast systems, power generation, satellite facilities, water-sewage treatment, electrical, security, fire protection, fuel storage, HVAC, civil, and building systems in support of broadcasting facilities. The A/E firm selected shall be required to: (1) perform site surveys and condition assessments, compare alternatives, and recommend design solutions; (2) prepare Statements of Work, drawings and specifications; (3) prepare construction cost estimates and schedules; and (4) provide post-award construction support services. The BBG/IBB will evaluate each Offeror for this proposed A-E work in accordance with the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.602-1 (Selection of Firms for Architect-Engineer Contracts, Selection Criteria), using the following seven below evaluation criteria [note: criteria number 1 is significantly more important than the remaining 6 criteria, which are weighted equally]: (1) Professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the required services - i.e., mix and depth of engineering disciplines available in the firm. At a minimum, firms MUST HAVE immediate access to the following disciplines: Architectural; Civil/Structural; Mechanical/HVAC; Electrical; Fire Protection; Environmental; and Electronic (to include satellite facilities) engineering; (2) Specialized technical experience and technical competence (including use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design) in the maintenance, repair, alteration, construction, and facilities condition assessment of Broadcast Systems, power generation, water-sewage, security, fire protection, satellite systems, and fuel handling/storage; (3) Capacity to accomplish work in accordance with project schedules; (4) Degree of successful past performance on Government agency and private sector contracts in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with standards and performance schedules; (5) Demonstrated capability to accomplish A/E work in various domestic and overseas geographic areas; (6) Proposed method of communication/data transfer with IBB Office of Engineering in Washington, DC. An indefinite quantity contract is anticipated, with each Task Order being individually negotiated for a firm-fixed price. None of the above-stated work or locations represent IBB firm requirements, but the selected firm must be able to perform engineering investigation, analysis, design, and construction support services for the above-stated types of projects and locations in order to be considered for this proposed A/E contract. The estimated amount for all tasks is not expected to exceed $500,000 per year for the base year with a minimum contract amount of $25,000. Four unilateral Government 1-year options will be included in the base contract with the same estimated maximum and minimum contract dollar amounts per year. This proposed A/E contract is being solicited, and will be awarded, on an "Unrestricted (full and open) Basis". Firms desiring to be evaluated for this proposed A-E design and related services work are invited to submit: (1) a Standard Form 254, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire; (2) a Standard Form 255, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Project; and (3) any data demonstrating the firm's capabilities in the seven above-stated A-E evaluation criteria (e.g., reference listing of previous customers, listing of professional recognition/awards, and staff resumes) not later than 2:00 pm EDT, Wednesday, August 28, 2002 to the BBG/IBB Office of Contracts, Switzer Building, Room 2519, 330 AC@ Street, SW, Washington, DC 20547. Following an initial evaluation of the qualification and performance data submitted, BBG/IBB will hold discussions with at least three of the most highly qualified firms to provide the type of services required. Selection of firms for such discussions shall be done through an order of technical preference using the seven above-stated evaluation criteria. Interested firms should note that Standard Form 254 (Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire) and Standard Form 255 (Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Project) are available via the following Webpage address: http://www.gsa.gov/forms/zero.htm. Any questions related to this proposed acquisition shall be submitted in writing and shall be sent directly and only to the Contracting Officer, Gary Hosford via e-mail at ghosford@ibb.gov, by phone: 202-619-2946, or by facsimile: 202-260-0855. All responsible sources shall be considered by the BBG/IBB. See Numbered Note 24.
