- PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT Solicitation #5161 The University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which is operated under Prime Contract DE-AC02-05CH11231 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), intends to subcontract for Professional Engineering services for the Building 6 Seismic Upgrade Project. Construction cost for the Project is estimated to be between $1-$5 million. The Building 6 Seismic Upgrade Project will involve the rehabilitation of the Advanced Light Source dome structure to a ?good? seismic rating, as defined by the University of California Seismic Safety policy. The University seismic requirements can be found at: http://www.ucop.edu/facil/resg/seismic-safety/welcome.html The Advanced Light Source is a national research user facility that operates 24/7. The construction work performed for this project will need to be phased, and each phase coordinated with scheduled maintenance shutdowns. The scope of work will include the rehabilitation of diagonal braces, building columns, repair of damaged columns, retrofitting of polar crane base isolation, and foundation repair, as needed. This is not a request for quotation. It is an announcement for subcontracting opportunities with the University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Interested firms are encouraged to submit qualifications as indicated below. A. SCOPE OF SERVICES The work includes, but is not limited to, Professional Engineering services: 1. Engineering schematic and preliminary designs, including drawings, specifications and calculations, and preliminary cost estimate. 2. Professional design services for preparation of construction documents and construction cost estimating during final design and construction phases. 3. Professional design services for phasing and coordination of the construction work within an occupied, operating facility. 4. Professional Engineering services during the construction phase. 5. Attendance at meetings scheduled for design reviews, construction support, and coordination. B. PROJECT SCOPE SUMMARY A selected firm will provide preliminary design and estimating services, construction documents and cost estimating services, engineering services and support during construction for the Building 6 Seismic Upgrade Project. Construction will involve selective demolition, temporary and permanent structural modifications, site utility relocation or replacement. C. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS In order to qualify, candidates must meet the following minimum requirements: 1. Location: The primary firm (structural engineering) and sub-consultants (electrical, mechanical engineering) must maintain a local office within seventy-five (75) air miles of Berkeley, California and must assign a principal to lead the effort on behalf of the firm from the local office. All other sub-consultants must be located within the United States. 2. Design Team: It is expected that the following specialized expertise will be represented by the proposing teams: a. Leading discipline: Structural Engineering. b. Sub-consultants: Electrical; Mechanical (HVAC, Plumbing; Fire Protection) Engineering; Construction Cost Estimating. 3. Registered Structural Engineer to Lead the Design Team: The primary (leading) firm must have a California-registered structural engineer in charge of the design for the entire project. Sub-consultants must have a California-registered professional assigned to the project team. 4. Qualifications: All work must be sealed by a California-licensed Engineer of the appropriate discipline. 5. Documentation Compatibility: The primary firm and sub-consultants must be able to generate, receive, or convert documents into Microsoft WORD, Microsoft EXCEL, Microsoft Project, and AutoCAD 2000, SAP2000, MATHCAD 13. D. SELECTION CRITERIA For firms meeting the above minimum requirements, the following criteria shall be the University?s basis of selection. The criteria are listed in descending order of importance. 1. Firm Experience: The primary firm (structural engineering) and sub-consultants (electrical, mechanical engineering; cost estimating) must have recently completed projects that involve seismic upgrades of older steel structure buildings of similar size and complexity to the proposed Building 6 Seismic Upgrade Project. The primary firm shall describe each representative project, and list them in the Standard Form SF 330, Section F, including any other supplemental information necessary to address this criterion. The primary firm must have worked on at least two projects with similar scope in the past five years. 2. Project Experience: The primary firm and sub-consultants shall have recent experience in phasing and coordination of construction work in occupied, operating buildings of similar size and complexity to the proposed Building 6 Seismic Upgrade Project. 3. Primary Role Experience: The primary firm shall have experience in leading and overseeing the work of sub-consultants in the performance of engineering services for buildings of similar size and complexity to the proposed Building 6 Seismic Upgrade Project. 4. Past Performance: The primary firm (structural engineering) and sub-consultants (electrical, mechanical engineering, cost estimating) must demonstrate successful experience in providing design services, within the approved scope, schedule and budget, for seismic rehabilitation of steel structure building projects within the last five years. A list of references, including name, current telephone number, and associated project(s), shall be provided for the University to verify past performance. 5. Personnel Experience: The principal and individuals assigned to this Project must demonstrate successful experience in providing design services for seismic rehabilitation of steel structure building projects within the last five years. 6. National Laboratory/DOE Experience: The primary firm shall demonstrate previous successful experience working for the U.S. Department of Energy or for a National Laboratory. 7. Assignment of Personnel: The University will consider a primary firm?s commitment and its consultant?s commitment to dedicate qualified personnel to positions of responsibility for the duration of the project. The University will give consideration to firms that are able to assign the same personnel from similar projects. 8. Affirmative Action: The University will consider a firm?s ability to further the University?s small, disadvantaged or woman-owned business affirmative action objectives. E. SITE VISIT Interested parties may attend a site visit at 10:00 AM (PST), Wed. 4/26/2006.
