- Description
- ALL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR INTERESTED PARTIES TO SUBMIT A STANDARD FORM (SF) 330, ARCHITECT ENGINEER QUALIFICATIONS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. THERE IS NO SEPARATE RFP PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD. Engineering and design services for an indefinite quantity contract for civil/structural/waterfront services. The preponderance of the work under these contracts is anticipated to occur within the NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic Northeast IPT area of responsibility including the states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. Work could also be added in any other area of responsibility of NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic or NAVFAC Washington, D.C. including the District of Columbia and the states of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and West Virginia. Work will include engineering services for the study and design of new construction, repair, alteration and improvement for (1) waterfront (piers, wharves, quaywalls, drydocks, bulkheads, crane rail systems, fender systems, condition reports and underwater inspection, dredging design and waterfront related utilities) (2) civil (airfields, roads, parking areas, railro ads, utility systems including sanitary and storm, wastewater treatment plants, water systems, storm water management, sediment and erosion control, and earthwork retaining walls) (3) structural (buildings, building renovations, bridges, other industrial structures, failure investigation including destructive and non-destructive testing, seismic design, progressive collapse analysis, foundation design and blast resistant design), (4) associated electrical, mechanical, and fire protection engineering and architectural services. The following services may also be required: facility planning which includes project programming documents (1391 development), development of requirements, preparation of engineering evaluations, project scope, and unit guidance or parametric cost estimating, development of alternatives and economic analysis; analysis of proposed sites for foundations, utilities, access, constraints and identification of environmental issues; Design-Bid-Build packag es, Design-Build Request for Proposal packages, government collateral equipment lists, project preliminary hazard analysis, obtaining permits and regulatory approvals, review of contractor submittals, field consultation and inspection during construction, Title II Inspection, Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI), and as-built drawing preparation. The initial project will be determined at a later date. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command is presently using Design-Build as the preferred method for acquiring capital improvements. Though Design-Bid-Build methodologies (with the preparation of 100% Plans and Specifications) will continue to be utilized, a significant number will likely require preparation of Requests for Proposal packages for Design-Build solicitations using abbreviated (0% - 30%) design documentation. Packages would include elements of site/engineering investigation, architectural programming, and function/performance specifications. Phases and/or pre-priced contract options may be included and will be ex ercised at the discretion of the government for 0 to 35%, 35 to 100% design, and post construction contract award services. Contract award is contingent on availability of funds. Options are normally exercised within several months of completing prior work; however, delays of up to one year are possible. Some projects will require design in the metric system. As part of this contract, an asbestos and/or lead-based paint assessment may be required to determine the presence of hazardous material during removals/demolition or at utility points of connections. Firms must be able to accept work that involves asbestos, lead paint, PCBs, and other hazardous materials. Work will be prepared utilizing AutoCAD 2006 or higher. Specifications will be prepared using SPECINSTACT SGML program, and cost estimates using the Success estimating program in a Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) system format will be utilized. Selected firm will be required to provide documents in pdf format for posting to a Government web site during solicitation. Firms are advised that the selected firm, its subsidiaries or affiliates which design or prepare specifications for a construction contract cannot provide the construction services for the same contract. This includes concept design, which includes preparation of project programming documents (DD1391), facility siting studies, environmental assessments, or request for proposals for Design-Build projects, or other activities that result in identification of project scope and cost. The contract requires that the selected firm have on-line access to email via the Internet for exchange of correspondence/information. SIGNIFICANT EVALUATION FACTORS (in order of importance): 1. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE. Recent experience (within the past five years) of the design team members individually and collectively as a total team (A/E, client, outside agencies) in the type of work required or evidence of similar relevant experience (as described above) and in: a) Designing and providing construction documents for various civil, waterfront, and structural items (as previously described) b) Performing facility planning studies which includes 1391 development, developing of requirements, preparing engineering evaluations, project scope, and unit guidance or parametric cost estimating. Project development will include development of alternatives and economic analysis, analysis of proposed sites for foundations, utilities, access, constraints and identification of environmental issues. c) Designing projects to Navy, Air Force or other DOD agencies criteria, d) On-site functional analysis and on-site schematics, space programming and budgetary or parametric cost engineering, e) Designs using AutoCAD, SPECSINTACT, and NAVFAC cost estimating, and, f) Evidence of prior experience or of the skills needed in the preparation of design/build Request for Proposal packages. g) Evidence of experience of both the firm and key personnel in and knowledge of the federal acquisition process. 2. PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS: Technical competence by discipline (education, registration and experience) of individual design team members. At a minimum, professional registration is required of one individual in each of the specified disciplines. The team shall include, in addition to the more traditional disciplines, an engineer registered in the discipline of fire protection engineering or a related engineering discipline and include 5 complete years of full time experience dedicated to fire protection engineering since 2003. 3. CAPACITY: a) Capacity of the firm and project teams to accomplish multiple, large, and small projects simultaneously, and b) Ability to sustain the loss of key personnel while accomplishing work within required time limits. 4. PAST PERFORMANCE: Past performance ratings by government agencies and private industry with respect to work quality, performance, compliance with schedules and cost control. 5.
