Description

NA Under the authority of FAR 6.302, the government intends to award a sole-source contract to RIM/KPB Joint Venture Architects, 645 G Street, Suite 400, Anchorage, AK 99501 for Architect and Engineering services to integrate additional design requirements i nto a design-in-progress for the Vehicle Maintenance Facility, Fort Wainwright, Alaska. RIM/KPB is performing the initial design and, therefore, has the project knowledge and understanding of the facility?s mission to accomplish the additional design requ irements and integrate the two concurrent designs into one facility design. These services are deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is li kely that award to any other source would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition or unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. The merged design is required b y 18 March 2003. However, if an AE is interested and believes they are capable of performing this work, they are invited to submit their letter of interest along with an outline of their qualifications, addressing knowledge or experience of the instant pr ocurement or methodology to obtain information without unacceptable delays or duplication of costs. This action is subject to availability of funds. All responders are advised that this project may be canceled or revised at any time during the solicitati on, evaluation, negotiation and final award. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action is within the discretion of the Government. Letters of interest are due 18 Dec 2002 at 1600 (4:00 PM Alaska Time). This acquisitio n will be conducted under SIC Code: 8711, NAICS Code: 541330. The small business size standard for this code is $4,000,000,000.00. See Note 22. 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract will expand the design on the Vehicle Maintenance Facility to increase square footage from approximately 36,000 to encompass a 102,000 SF vehicle maintenance facility; including hardstands; administrative and shop c ontrol areas; storage areas; arms rooms; vaults; anti-terrorism/force protection measures; and supporting facilities including utilities; electric service; exterior lighting; fire protection; storm drainage; alarm/information systems; paving, walks, curbs and gutters; access road and parking; site grading; extension of the underground utilidor; and handicap access. This action will include an option for construction phase services. AE services are required for 100% design of this Brigade Level Vehicle Mai ntenance Facility.
