Two firms may be selected from the responses received from this synopsis/solicitation. Architectural-engineering services required are primarily architectural in nature, but a strong full service team is required. Special emphasis is placed on the capabilities of the structural (seismic design and progressive collapse), mechanical and electrical team members. Contract term will be for a Base Year with options to extend for four (4) additional yearly performance periods. Each performance period will run 365 calendar days from date of award/exercise of option or until the maximum limit is reached, whichever occurs first. The maximum fee limit may not exceed $l, 500,000 per performance period.

Primary work will be in two areas: (1) assessment of existing military facilities and infrastructure and the development of comprehensive renovation plans (including estimation of cost), and (2) the preparation of plans and specifications or statements of work requirements for design/build contracts to accomplish major repair/renovation projects in existing military-owned facilities. Similar services are required for new construction. Facilities addressed will range from small/limited scope renovations to renovations of large complex structures, such as classroom/lab facilities, administration buildings, aircraft operations support facilities or troop housing. New construction requirements may address a wide range of facilities as well. Additional services which may be required by this contract include estimation of probable construction cost using the required SUCCESS software (both budget level and detailed), preparation of feasibility studies including economic analyses, preparation of various engineering studies supporting the budget process or design phase, inspection of existing conditions, provision of professional recommendation regarding the best avenue to pursue for renovation work to preserve and extend the life of existing assets, preparation of seismic analyses of existing structures using current DOD seismic criteria to determine the extent of retrofit necessary to prolong the life of a facility, preparation of energy consumption analyses, provision of advice on how to design and construct facilities in a manner that minimizes the consumption of energy, inspection of facilities to identify presence and scope of hazardous materials (primarily asbestos and lead based paint), preparation of documents defining existing conditions, preparation of topographic surveys, accomplishment of sub-surface investigations, preparation of utility studies, provision of advice regarding the design and construction of facilities that support the Government’s sustainable design goals, the provision of planning services, provision of interior design services, provision of construction support services, and participation in coordination efforts with the State Historical Preservation Office.
