PROFESSIONAL DESIGN TEAM (PDT) Date: October 6, 2004 RFP Number: 6733 Project Name: 300 Area Facility Transition Project Services Required: Professional Design Team (PDT) Location: Battelle/PNNL Campus, Richland WA 99352 Tentative RFP Date: Approximately October 15, 2004 Range of Magnitude: $1M - $2M Contact: Battelle Memorial Institute Attention: Kim Anderson PO Box 999, Mail Stop J2-05 901 Battelle Blvd Richland, WA 99352 Phone: 509.376.5281 Fax: 509.376.2667 Email: kim.anderson@pnl.gov PROJECT DESCRIPTION Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle), in connection with Battelle?s operation and maintenance of the U.S. Department of Energy?s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) at Richland, Washington under Contract No. DE-AC05-76RL01830 has need for a Professional Design Team (PDT) to provide campus master planning, programming and conceptual design for four (4) replacement facilities which will be used to consolidate multi-functional research capabilities currently located in the 300 area of the Hanford Site. The replacement (new) facilities as currently envisioned total approximately 500,000 gross square feet. The Richland campus and Battelle?s relationship with DOE and PNNL is unique because of Battelle?s 1831 Use Permit with DOE. Portions of the Richland campus (land and facilities) are owned by Battelle, portions are government owned and belong to the PNNL and portions are jointly shared. It is anticipated that the replacement facilities will be sited on the Richland campus. The successful PDT will be required to update and integrate the existing Richland campus master plan to include these new facilities, considering the environment, energy, economy, community, life cycle, sustainability and campus infrastructure. Sustainability and energy efficiency shall be expressed as a target score range of the U.S. Green Building Council?s LEED Rating System, Version 2.1, May 2003 Edition, or another nationally recognized standard. PNNL has developed general requirements for these replacement facilities through prior conceptual programming studies and will make these requirements available to the successful PDT. Some limited interviews with stakeholders are anticipated in order to complete the campus planning and facility programming. The PDT?s final programming documents need to be developed and detailed to the extent necessary to support definitive design of the new facilities without any further design planning. SELECTION A. Qualifications Based Selection: Battelle uses a qualifications based selection process by which contracts for PDT services are negotiated on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualification for the type of professional services required at a fair and reasonable price. A Source Selection Panel appointed specifically for this acquisition will review, evaluate, score and rank all submittals to identify the 3 ? 5 most highly qualified firms. B. RFP Process / Schedule: Pursuant to Battelle Guidelines, and considering the requirements of the Brookes Act, and FAR 36.6, the selection process shall include the following activities and tentative schedule: Activities Tentative Schedule 1.
