- Description
- Correction/Clarifications to Synopsis N62473-06-R-3004 Waterfront A/E: Revise the first paragraph to state: “This synopsis requests services for miscellaneous inspection, structural engineering and design services for underwater and waterfront facilities at Navy and DoD installations worldwide”. The types of submittals may include “dive safety plans” in addition to those already identified in the initial synopsis. Evaluation Factor (1) first sentence is revised to read: “Professional qualifications and technical competence of the personnel proposed for the required services of performing underwater inspections using professional registered engineer-divers”. Also in factor (1) after the discussion of the EM 385-1-1, next sentence is revised to read: “This information must demonstrate that the prospective firm has performed contract diving work using professional registered engineer-divers on a regular and routine basis for at least the past three years and is able to accomplish such work in a safe and efficient manner”. Evaluation Factor (2) should also identify “conducting underwater inspections and associated travel (by land or air)” to the specialized experience. “(b)” should be revised to read: “Underwater structural condition assessments, including the use of destructive and non-destructive (NDT) techniques”. Evaluation Factor (2) add: (j) prime contractor experience in performing underwater facility assessments, including associated diving operations. Evaluation Factor (3) title should be revised to read: “Quality control and dive safety assurance procedures”. Evaluation Factor (6) – revise the word “subconsultants” to read “subcontractor” Also in criteria (6) – delete “Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan. Firms will be evaluated on the extent to which they identify and commit to the published Navy Small Business Subcontracting Program. The Secretary of the Navy has assigned the Naval Facilities Engineering Command goals expressed in terms of percentages of total planned subcontracting dollars for utilization of small business of 74.8%. Included in the SB goals are targets for: Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 15.5%, Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) 14.0%, Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) 3%, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) 3%, and HUBZone Small Business 3.1%” at the end of criteria.
