NAVFAC Washington will use the responses to this sources sought synopsis to make appropriate acquisition decisions for the planned contract. This is not an announcement of availability of a solicitation nor is it a means of generating a planholder?s list. After review of the responses submitted regarding this potential acquisition, a solicitation announcement will be published in the Federal Business Opportunities if the Government intends to continue with this procurement. The general scope of work is as follows: The work includes Architectural and Engineering Services necessary for preparation of a Design Build Request of Proposal (RFP) to construct a multi-story facility/ facilities for the BRAC directed collocation of Military Department (MILDEP) Investigation Agencies composed of the Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), HQ Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS), HQ Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), HQ Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID), and Defense Security Service (DSS). The new facilities will total approximately 69,675 gross square meters (GSM) (750,000 gross square feet (GSF)) and will be designed and constructed to include, but not limited to, the following: Admin space for each agency; technical service/surveillance countermeasures and ADP/operations lab; armory; academic instruction spaces; conference center, VTC rooms; public works/facility management spaces; graphics/printing and reproduction shop; equipment research area; warehouse; record storage; vehicle loading/delivery areas; mailrooms; UPS system areas; watch center; IT center; matter shredder space; police station; gate/sentry houses with truck inspection & holding areas; exchange service outlets; Installation restaurant; physical fitness facility; child development center; and miscellaneous other specialized spaces & facility support spaces. Extensive SCIF and raised flooring requirements are included throughout the facility/facilities. The project includes, but is not limited to, all or part of the following; roofing systems, flooring systems, ceiling systems, interior and exterior partitions, millwork, office systems, signs, interior and exterior finishes, windows, doors, skylights, insulation, vertical transportation (stairs, elevators, escalators, and ramps), demolition, etc. In addition, the work includes security, communication, power, fire protection, fire suppression, HVAC, plumbing, and lighting systems; storage systems, intrusion detection systems (IDS), shielding and other related features. Major site improvements include, but are not limited to; site and building utility connections for potable water, sanitary and storm sewers, natural gas, electrical, telephone, area distribution node (ADN) building and equipment, and local area network (LAN). Other site improvements include; paving, exterior site and building lighting, roadway access, roadway expansion and/or relocation, major parking requirements, sidewalks, earthwork, grading, storm water management features, landscaping, and other hard-scaping & soft-scaping requirements. Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) requirements are part of this project, hence the A-E shall be experienced with UFC 4-010-01, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings (most recent version). Sustainable design features are required in design and engineering work, hence A-E is required to be experienced with the Sustainable Building Technical Manual Green Building Design (per USGBC LEED). The A-E shall conform design standards to EPA Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), which calls for energy reduction of new facilities by 30% beyond ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 threshold and applying applicable sustainable design features that are life cycle cost effective. The selected A-E must be capable of performing storm water management (SWM) designs and identifying/obtaining associated Commonwealth and Federal environmental permits. The A-E (or their subcontractor) must be professionally licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia for erosion sediment control (ESC) and SWM work. Interior design services may be required, hence A-E shall be familiar with mandatory sources for procurement, i.e. Federal Prison Industries (FPI), GSA schedules, etc. Familiarity with the metric system of measurement is required. The prime A-E must have experience in preparing RFP documents for large multi-phased projects and have a quality assurance program for this type of work. The possibility of hazardous materials, i.e., asbestos, lead paint, PCD, etc. may exist at the proposed site. If hazardous materials are encountered or suspected, the A-E shall be required to conduct hazardous material removal surveys, including; testing and sampling, provide design removal procedures and prepare construction contract documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to such hazardous materials. All hazardous materials licenses and/or accreditations necessary for the locality of the potential sites are required by the A-E firm or it?s subcontractors. The A-E must have experience in developing ?design build? RFPs for large construction projects. The intent of this contract is to provide architectural and engineering effort as necessary to develop sound RFP documents that clearly and comprehensively articulate the performance (plans and specs) to be prepared by the construction contractor and/or their design agent. To do this, anticipated RFP development related work tasks include, but are not limited to, the following: validation of existing programming, space and associated outfitting requirements documentation; provision of additional facility and site programming, etc. as required; criteria coordination; documentation of existing conditions and available utility capacities; identification of utility connection points; topographic surveys; and geotechnical services, soil & environmental borings. Market value construction cost estimates (SUCCESS Cost Estimating Systems or tri-service Parametric Cost Engineering System (PACES) will be required for each RFP interim submission. Other services, such as technical reports, studies, site investigations, DD Form 1391 packages, design programming, concepts, other surveys, assistance in source selection technical panel reviews (Design Evaluation Teams), reviews of design submissions provided by the construction contractor?s design agent, shop drawing reviews, construction consultations & inspections, Title II, and similar types of work may be required at any time up to the final acceptance of all work.
