Buildings and Structures; B. Drainage and Stormwater Management Systems; C. Electrical Systems; D. Environmental Engineering and Compliance Permitting; E. Fire Protection Engineering; F. Geotechnical Engineering; G. Historic Structure; H. Marine and Coastal Facilities; I. Mechanical Systems; J. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Section 106 Compliance and Construction Permitting; K. Seismic Engineering; L. Site Development; M. Transportation Engineering, Transportation Facilities, and Traffic Systems; N. Surveying; O. Water and Wastewater Systems and Facilities. REQUIRED DISCIPLINES: A. Required disciplines include, but are not limited to, registered professional engineers in the following areas: civil, electrical, environmental, fire protection, geotechnical, mechanical, sanitary, and structural engineers. B. Additional disciplines which may be required for some projects include registered or certified professionals in the following areas: Architecture, Historic Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Historic Landscape Architecture, Landscape History, Lighting, Acoustics, Seismic Engineering, Transportation and Traffic Engineering, Archeology, Anthropology, Architectural Conservations, Roofing, Surveying, Sustainable Technologies, Industrial Hygiene, Hazardous Materials, Cost Control and Cost Estimating, and Construction Management. C. Incidental services, e.g., AutoCAD drafting and 3D modeling, GIS, Microsoft Word processing, etc., may be required in the performance of specific task order requirements. PRIMARY SERVICES: For the purpose of this contract, the services to be provided will be primarily: A. Project Planning and Compliance Services; B. Pre-design Services including programming, site analysis, and supplementary services; C. Design Services including schematic design, value analysis, design development, construction documents, and construction support; D. Construction Management Services. COORDINATION: The proposed work may extend over several fiscal years, involving projects at various stages, which will require that the selected firm(s) must be capable of providing and managing a multi-disciplinary team from within the firm(s) or in conjunction with subconsultants. The A/E will need to have direct contact with Federal, State or local regulatory agencies to assure compliance with regulations, codes and policies. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN: The U. S. Government has adopted sustainable design as the guiding principle for its planning, design, and construction projects. By definition, this means meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In practice, sustainable design utilizes best available solutions within the design tradition and conserves global resources, utilizes energy efficiently, recycles materials and waste, and specifies ecologically responsible methods, practices, and materials in the construction and operation of Government facilities. Accordingly, the selected firm(s) must exhibit current credentials and demonstrated competency in sustainable design certifications and memberships in professionally recognized organizations that promulgate sustainable practices. EXECUTIVE ORDER: In accordance with Public Law 100-418 and Executive Order 12770, as of January 1994, all Federal design work will be done using the metric system of weights and measures. Work done under this contract may be subject to this requirement. The Government will not indemnify the firm selected against liability involving asbestos or other hazardous materials; that is, a clause holding the firm harmless will not be included in the contract. CONTRACT PERIOD: All services will be provided under an Indefinite Quantity contract. The base contract period will be for one year with options to extend for four additional one-year periods. Work will be ordered by issuance of firm fixed price or not-to-exceed type task orders. The maximum ordering limitation will be $5,000,000.00 for the life of the contract. Each task order will not exceed $500,000.00. The $5,000,000.00 maximum may be realized in a single year or spread out over the life of the contract including all option years. The guaranteed minimum for the life of the contract, which includes the base period and all options exercised, is $25,000.00. TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA: Statements of Qualifications will be evaluated by a selection committee of National Park Service personnel based upon the following primary criteria, listed in descending order of importance: A. Demonstrated ability and experience in the type of projects required under this contract, particularly small projects, in various climatic regions (i.e., high mountain, heavy snow areas, arid deserts and coastal, urban and remote areas); and specific past performance records on previous architect-engineering work performed for Federal, State, and local government agencies, and private industry documenting the quality of the firm's work and the firm's history of meeting performance schedules and budgets. B. Demonstrated experience with integrated design, with an emphasis on coordinated multidisciplinary teams, establishment of up-front environmental goals, whole systems approach and follow-through. Demonstrated records of the firm's ability to communicate, coordinate, facilitate, and work expeditiously with multiple entities including Federal, State, and local agencies and other involved concerns. C. Demonstrated specialized experience and technical competence in preparing designs for facilities that minimize the use of, and the environmental impact on, the earth's renewable and non-renewable resources (forest, grasslands, water, solar energy, wind energy, etc.) and to the earth's managed resources. This includes, to the maximum extent practicable, specifying the use of recycled content material and recovered materials, and providing designs for construction that promote energy conservations, pollution prevention, waste reduction. Emphasis will focus on familiarity with and project experience in applying principles of sustainability in various climatic regions (for example, high mountains, heavy snow areas, arid deserts, and permafrost) for the types of projects described and utilization of appropriate materials and construction techniques, with sensitivity to natural and cultural resources, as well as aesthetic considerations appropriate for National Park settings. D. Demonstrated professional qualifications of individuals listed to perform under the contract, including individual licenses, certifications, and experience in the work proposed. E. Ability and capacity to respond to expanded or multiple task orders on short notice and within the established schedules, while maintaining a high standard of quality and controlling costs. In addition to other factors, offers will be evaluated on the basis of advantages and disadvantages to the Government that might result from making more than one award (i.e. multiple awards). The Government will not indemnify the firm selected against liability involving asbestos or other hazardous materials; that is no clause holding the firm harmless will be included in the contract.
