- PART: U. S. GOVERNMENTS PROCUREMENTS SUBPART: SERVICES CLASSCOD: C – Architect and Engineering Services OFFADD: GSA, PBS, Property Development Division (9PCT), 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 3rd Floor West, San Francisco, CA 94102-3434 SUBJECT: C—SUPPLEMENTAL SEISMIC/STRUCTURAL/BLAST ENGINEERING SERVICES DUE: SEPTEMBER 18, 2003 SOL GS-09P- POC Arthur Brown, Contracting Officer (415) 522-3292, or Bela Palfalvi, GSA Seismic Program Manager (415) 522-3183. DESC: The Pacific Rim Region of the General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service manages GSA’s seismic program and advocates efficiency and effectiveness through diligent programming, design and construction. The services of qualified engineering firms are required to support this effort. The following disciplines are required: Structural Engineering, Blast Design, Geotechnical Engineering, and Cost Estimation. The types of Work required may include, but are not limited to, the following: o Preparation of seismic hazard reports and evaluation of existing buildings (including historical buildings), o Risk Assessment and Risk Analysis to determine the seismic risk of Government owned and leased facilities. o Two and three dimensional computer modeling and analysis of seismic effects/events, o Engineering peer reviews on projects designed by others, o Pre-design and pre-purchase surveys, o Analytical evaluation of primary systems and non-structural components, o Preliminary design, recommendations, and the preparation of reports for repair and strengthening of various buildings, o ATC 20 post disaster assessment experience and availability. o Blast resistance design, including progressive collapse analysis. o Assessment of earthquake-related geotechnical hazards and recommendations to limit risk, o Cost estimating, All Work shall be performed by, or under the direct supervision of a registered professional Engineer. Services may also include assisting GSA staff in in-house design and collaboration with scholars in recognized academic institutions. Design services, may include the preparation of working drawings and documents. Project design and contract documents, including drawings, specifications and calculations may be prepared in both metric (SI Units) and English (I-P Units) systems of measurements. Buildings under considerations may be located in any of the 50 states, as well as US Trust Territories and Possessions. It is also anticipated that other Federal and DOD agencies will be designated as Ordering Offices under these contracts, as well. Award is targeted for the spring of 2004. The type of contracts will be Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). Contract term will be a base year and four consecutive one-year options. Maximum order limit will be $3,000,000 per contract, per year, with an aggregate total of $15,000,000 per contract for five (5) years of service. Minimum order will be $5,000 per contract, per year. Up to three (3) contracts may be awarded. A Small and Disadvantaged Business-subcontracting plan may be required. To be eligible for consideration, a firm must have an active and functioning engineering/design office in the contiguous Untied States for five (5) years preceding the closing date of this announcement. If the A-E design firm is a partnership, corporation, association, joint venture or other legal entity, the structural engineering firm must meet this requirement. Interested firms are invited to submit five (5) copies of their SF 254/255’s along with a letter of interest and the portfolio TO: General Services Administration, Property Development Division (9PCT), 450 Golden Gate Ave, 3r Floor West, San Francisco, CA 94102-3434, Attn: Mr. Arthur L.Brown (9PCT by 3:00PM (PST) local time on Setpember 18, 2003. The following information must be on outside of the sealed envelop 1) Solicitation Number/Title, 2) Due Date, 3) Closing Time. Late responses are subject to F.A.R. Provision 52.214-7. It is recommended that each confirm receipt of its submittal on September 18, 2003 by calling Arthur L. Brown at (415) 522-3292. Selection factors, in descending order of importance, are as follows: 1. Professional Qualifications and Experience of Firms and Key Personnel: (40 points) Professional Qualifications and relevant Team and individual experience; unique knowledge in the field of structural/blast and geotechnical engineering, and time commitment of key members to projects. Blast designer qualifications: Contractor’s personnel shall have formal training in structural dynamics, the effects of blast on structural systems and engineering analysis. The Contractor shall be familiar with and be capable of using GSA’s computer programs WINGARD Version 3.2 or later, STANDGARD Version 1.1 or later, and the GSA Progressive Collapse Guidelines. A minimum of five (5) years of blast resistant design is desired for the lead blast consultant. The Contractor shall have demonstrated experience in performing work of a similar nature and scope within the past two (2) years. 2. Technical Competence: (30 points) Familiarity with GSA, Federal, NEHRP and national seismic codes, standards and guidelines, familiarity with dynamic response of buildings to seismic forces, and at least five (5) years demonstrated experience of design of new high rise buildings, and existing (historical) buildings in region of high seismicity, and familiarity with the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) Security Criteria, and blast resistant design, including, but are not limited to, progressive collapse analysis and calculations. 3. Past performance: (20 points) Past performance in providing Supplemental Seismic/Structural/Blast design services with respect to the team’s responsiveness to client’s needs for GSA, other Federal Agencies such as VA, DoD, FAA, and private firms. Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time, and evidence of previous project management performance, quality control, coordination, scheduling and cost control. The firms must document the accomplishments in meeting the above criteria for three previous clients. For each project identified in the responses to evaluations criteria, provide the name, address, and current telephone number of client representative and identify which members of the firm participated in the project. The team must also demonstrate the capability to respond and work nationally. 4. Specialized experience: (10 points) Familiarity with new and innovative systems which could be incorporated into building structures to reduce the effects of seismic forces, familiarity with behavior of non-structural elements under seismic loads and develop Risk Assessment & Risk Analyses, Blast Testing, and ATC-20 Post disaster Assessment Experience. Total score for the four (4) factors noted is 100%. A short list of the top (6) six firms will be developed. These firms will be invited to make an oral presentation and participate in discussions. The physical location of these presentations will be at the Pacific Region’s Regional Office, 450 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA. Individual orders with an estimated value of $100,000 or more will be competed among contract holders. Orders less than $100,000 may be awarded without competitions, at the discretion of the Government. The factors specified in this announcement for the base award will also be used in awarding these individual orders. Failure to address each of the evaluation criteria, in writing, will result in failure to qualify. Additionally, failure to provide the requisite information will result in failure to qualify. Firms responding to this advertisement are advised to specifically address each evaluation factor under a separate heading. The qualifications statements should clearly indicate the office location where the work will be performed, an organizational chart for the proposed contract, and the qualifications of the individuals anticipated to work on the contract and their geographical location.
