- Description
- NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the following Commercialitem/services: The Architect-Engineering (A-E) services to be provided under this procurement consist of(1) A-E design services, (2) special studies, (3) construction support, and (4) totalbuilding commissioning for facility modification, repair, construction and maintenanceprojects at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Centers Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF)in New Orleans, Louisiana. The majority of the facilities at MAF are in direct supportof MAFs mission to manufacture complex space systems and include laboratories, flightvehicle manufacturing,test facilities and office buildings. MAF is undergoing atransition period wherein new NASA projects are initiating activities at MAF and otherNASA projects are closing out activities at MAF. As such, the services below may bephased in based on service requirements and availability of contract funds. The selectedfirm will provide these services on-site at MAF.A-E design services include, but not limited to, preparing architectural, civil,structural, environmental, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, building automationsystem, and multi-discipline project designs in support of local and CoF projects at MAF(Note: local projects are defined as projects having construction costs less than $500K,with CoF projects being those having construction costs greater than $500K). Effort willalso include development and checkout of programs for Programmable Logic Controllers(PLC) for manufacturing support systems and facilities and Distributed Control Systems(DCS) for utility controls. Project designs will include criteria development,construction drawings, calculations, specifications, and cost estimates. MAF has anenergy management system that monitors and controls equipment and systems in the variousbuildings. Design services for the addition/modification of hardware due to addition ormodification of HVAC or related equipment will be required. In addition to projectdesigns, the selected firm will perform surveys, geotechnical analysis, and as-builtdrawing preparation (CoF and local projects). All facility projects will incorporatefacility sustainability in planning, design, and construction. New construction will beLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified.Special studies will pertain to facilities, land use, and other infrastructure. Thesestudies typically involve a technical assessment which may require field investigation,historical research, sketch/drawing preparation, cost estimates, and a written reportdocumenting the results/recommendations of the study.These special studies may berequested to address an infrastructure concern, potential enhancement or other sitecondition. Construction support includes: (1) providing construction inspection and quality controlfor all phases of construction; (2) providing test monitoring and documentation to verifyconstruction and maintenance projects are in accordance with the contract drawings andspecifications; (3) conducting evaluations and reviews of all required submittals for theproject; (4) providing technical support for disposition of all Requests for Information,Design Change Requests, and Change Items. Construction support is applicable to both CoFprojects and local projects. Total building commissioning includes providing a building commissioning agent throughoutthe design and construction to provide technical support of total building commissioningfor new buildings. The commissioning agent will also be responsible for supporting thecommissioning of existing buildings.The magnitude of MAFs annual local program is anticipated to include 5 to 150 projectshaving construction costs between $2K and $50K and 2 to 20 projects having constructioncosts between $50K and $500K. Total annual construction value is anticipated to bebetween $2M to $5M. MAFs annual CoF program is anticipated to include between $10M to$40M of building, structure, and utility system repairs, alterations, modifications, andconstruction. The annual CoF program historically consists of between four and eightprojects each having a construction cost greater than $500K.The following is a listing of criteria that will be used in the preliminary screening ofthe A-E firms responding to this announcement. A-E firms must meet these requirements tobe considered for the work: 1. Provide a completed Standard Form 330 and submit appropriate data as described inGovernment-Wide Numbered Note 24.

Demonstrate that the proposed contract Commissioning Agent (CA) that will execute thetotal building commissioning services is a mechanical engineer and a Certified EnergyManager (Association of Energy Engineers) with experience in the design and commissioningof mechanical systems. The commissioning agent shall have experience using energyanalysis software such as DOE-2, Trane Trace, Carrier E20-II, etc. 5. The proposals must show a capacity that includes a minimum of the followingdisciplines. This can include a combination of the corporate, and branch and/or partneroffices within the United States: Minimum of 5 electrical engineers. Minimum of 5 mechanical engineers. Minimum of 3 architects. Minimum of 3 structural engineers. Minimum of 3 civil engineers. Minimum of 5 CMIs. Minimum of 5 cost estimators. 6. Have registered professionals on-site that will stamp all work provided. 7. Have the proposing firms office located within 500 miles from the MAF Plant. The A-Eshall clearly define the location of the proposing office. 8. Have a minimum of 50 employees located at the proposing firms office. Factors to be scored (100 maximum points) in the selection process include: (1) Specialized experience and demonstrated capabilities in the restoration,modernization and renovation design for office, laboratory and test and manufacturingfacilities (50 points); (2) Past Performance on A-E contracts at MAF, other governmentagencies and private industry over the last 10 years (20 points); (3) Capacity to perform the work (15 points); (4) Professional Qualifications (5 points); (5) Previous MAF Contracts (5 points) and (6) Geographical Location (5 points).
