- Description
- PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT The University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which is operated under Prime Contract DE-AC03-76SF00098 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), intends to subcontract for professional Architect-Engineering (AE) services for a proposed new User Support Building. Construction cost for the project is currently estimated in the $11,000,000 to $15,000,000 range. The proposed User Support Building will be a new multi story structure adjacent to the Advanced Light Source Building on the main LBNL site. The proposed building is planned to be a state-of-the-art facility for preparation and support of research at several National User Facilities located on the LBNL site. Users in all disciplines will be supported (condensed matter physics, biology, materials, chemistry, environmental and earth sciences, atomic and molecular physics, nano sciences, etc.). The project includes demolition and removal of existing buildings, construction of a new building and related road, utility and sitework. The building will contain a high-bay assembly/staging area, semi-clean rooms, a modern analytical laboratory, office and conference space. This is not a request for quotation. It is an announcement for subcontracting opportunities with the University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Interested firms are encouraged to submit qualifications as indicated below. SCOPE OF SERVICES: The work includes, but is not limited to, professional architectural and engineering services. ? Architectural and engineering design. ? Conceptual Design Report. ? Preliminary and final construction documents including drawings, specifications, calculations, and preparation of record drawings, which reflect as-built conditions upon completion of construction. ? Construction cost estimating. ? Attendance at meetings scheduled for design reviews or coordination. ? Design professional support services during bidding and construction. ? A separate subcontract may be awarded to a Construction Manager (CM) for the project. The CM typically works with the AE and LBNL in all phases of the project. Typical, CM work may include, but is not limited to, the following: ? constructability review ? independent construction cost estimate ? construction schedule ? document control. Project Scope Summary: a) Sitework including demolition and removal of building and structures. b) Design and construction of a new research support building, related structures and associated utilities in compliance with applicable codes. Minimum Requirements: In order to qualify, candidates must meet the following minimum requirements: a. Location: The Principals and individuals assigned to this project from the primary firm and the primary sub-consultants (architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical) must be located within seventy five (75) air miles of Berkeley, California. All other sub-consultants must be located within the United States. b. California Registered Professionals: The primary firm and each of its consultants must have a California registered professional assigned to the project team. b.

Special consideration will be given to firms that are able to assign the same personnel from the similar projects. The two projects shall be listed in the Standard Form SF 255, Paragraph 8, and include any other supplemental information necessary to address this criteria. The firm shall demonstrate knowledge of the EPA Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines for recycled-content building materials, and experience in cost effective environmentally sustainable design. The primary firm must have worked on at least one project with similar scope in the past ten years. 2). Assignment of Personnel: The principal and individuals assigned to this project must demonstrate successful experience in the design and coordination of design disciplines on complex laboratory building projects within the last five years. Commitment of the firm and its consultants to assign qualified personnel to positions of responsibility for the duration of the project will be considered. 3) Project Experience: In addition to the projects listed under item 1, list other projects that demonstrate experience in the following areas: ? Experience in design of H Occupancy facilities. ? Evidence of ability to perform all design phases of the work, to produce construction documents of superior quality and to meet the completion schedule for each phase. ?
