Construction documents may be prepared by Design-Bid-Build (full plans and specs) and/or Design/Build Request for Proposals (RFP). The type of work includes family housing improvements (repairs, renovations, alterations, upgrades), replacements (new construction) and associated demolition work. Work will include architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection and civil disciplines. Work may include pest damage analysis. Site work will include erosion and sediment control, storm water management, landscaping, parking, sidewalks, bike paths, utilities and other improvements. Familiarity with Sustainable Design through an integrated design approach may be required. Familiarity with English and metric system of measurements are required. The possibility of hazardous materials, i.e., asbestos, lead paint and other materials may exist at project sites. The possibility of petroleum containing soils may exist at the project sites. If these materials or other similar types of material are encountered, the A/E contractor may be required to conduct hazardous material removal surveys, including testing and sampling, provide design removal procedures and prepare construction documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to such materials. All hazardous materials licenses, fees and/or accreditations necessary for the locality of the project site are required by the A/E firm or their subcontractors. The general intention is to provide for such design and engineering services as necessary to support the procurement of this contract. For the Government to retain maximum flexibility in the interest of these clients, various services/products, such as technical reports, studies, site investigations, programming of client requirements, concept designs, cost estimates, Parametric Cost Estimates (PCE), surveys, assistance in source selection technical evaluation panels (Design Evaluation Teams), shop drawing reviews, construction consultation and inspection, Title II, preparation of construction record drawings, and O&M manuals, may be required at any time up to final acceptance of all work. The selected A/E contractor for the contract will be required to provide overhead, profit and discipline hourly rates initially to the Contracting Officer within 10 days after receiving notification. In addition, the selected A/E contractor will be required to participate in an orientation, scope of work, and site visit meetings (when requested) within ten days of notification for each project and provide each fee proposal within ten days after receiving the Request for Proposal. Each project will be a firm fixed price A/E contract. Architectural and engineering services for this contract will be subject to the availability of funds. This contract is associated with a multi-year family housing program. Work will be required through the duration of the Andrews Air Force Base family housing program. Design and engineering services will be required to support an annual construction cost range of $18-$22 million per year. The estimated start is December 2002. The Architectural and Engineering firms shall respond directly to each of the selection criteria shown below. Selection evaluation criteria are included in relative order of importance. 1. Specialized experience and professional qualifications of the firm, including subcontractors, and the proposed project team (the team/office actually accomplishing the work) in providing complete architectural services with multi-disciplinal engineering support services for the design methods and requirements described herein; 2.a. Demonstrated capabilities in accomplishment of work within established time limits. b. Status of the firm's and project team's present workload; 3. Past performance and process of the prime A/E firm (and their subcontractors) in their quality control/quality assurance program to assure coordinated technically accurate RFP documents, plans, specifications and construction cost estimates; 4. Preferences: a. Preference will be given to the firms with the demonstrated capability of using CAD, preparing specifications in both SPECSINTACT and Microsoft word formats, and preparing cost estimates using the Success Cost Estimating System and USAF/AAFB cost estimating software; b. Preference will be given to firms that have experience in the design of military multi-family housing. Each firm's past performance(s) will be reviewed during the evaluation process and can affect the selection outcome. Firms that meet the requirements listed in this announcement are invited to submit one copy each of the completed Standard Forms (SF) 254 and 255, U.S. Government Architect-Engineer Qualifications, to the office indicated below. Site visits will not be arranged during the advertisement period. This proposed contract is being solicited on an unrestricted basis. Interested firms are requested to include telefax numbers, DUNS number, and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) on the SF 255 and 254 in Blocks 3 and 1, respectively. Interested firms are also requested to include their A/E Contractor Appraisal Support System (ACASS) number on the SF 255 in Block 3. In Block 10, state why your firm is specially qualified based on the selection evaluation criteria. Also, use Block 10 to provide additional information desired by your firm. Only the SF 254 and SF 255 will be reviewed. Experiences identified in Block 8 should not be more than 5 years old. The A/E firm's primary person proposed to be the direct day-to-day contact with EFA Chesapeake throughout the contract work must be identified as the "Project Manager." Information in the cover letter and any other attachments will not be included in the official selection review process. Submit (received by mail or hand delivered) the SF 254 and 255 to the mailroom in the EFA Chesapeake building, Building 212, by 3:30 p.m. on the established due date. Fax copies of the SF 254 and 255 will be accepted. This is not a request for proposal. Because this contract could eventually result in an award over $500,000.00, a subcontracting plan will be required by large business concerns. The small disadvantaged business set-aside goal in that subcontracting plan shall not be less than 5% of the subcontracted work. This set-aside goal of not less than 5% also applies to women-owned small business concerns. This does not apply if the prime firm is a small business concern. Effective 1 October 1997, A/E contractors are required to register their firms in the Central Contractor Registration database prior to receiving a contract award. This database provides basic business information, capabilities and financial information to the Government and complies with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, which requires Federal agencies to have the Taxpayer Identification Number of every contractor and to pay every contractor through electronic funds transfer. A/E contractors will only have to provide this information once with annual updates or as key company information changes occur. Registration can be accomplished through the World Wide Web at <http://www.acq.mil/ec>; through any DOD certified Value Added Network; or a paper may be obtained by calling the DOD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. Contracting Officer, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Engineering Field Activity Chesapeake (Attn: Erik Young, Code CH34), Washington Navy Yard, Building 212, 1314 Harwood St., SE, Washington, DC 20374-5018.
