Description

R-1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: Two Indefinite Delivery Contracts will be awarded for Architect - Engineer (A-E) services for a period of one year with options for four additional years each. The contract(s) will be primarily for A-E studies and design activities in support of military and Department of Homeland Security-Customs & Border Protection (DHS-CBP) projects within the Albuquerque District boundaries, which include Southern Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Southwest Texas. The Contractor may be required to perform work outside this area. The successful firm(s) may be utilized for complete projects or in support of in-house efforts. Services during construction to include construction inspection, shop drawing review and as-built drawing preparation may be required. These contracts will be procured in accordance with Pl 92-582 (Brooks A-E Act) and FAR Part 36. Work will be negotiated and initiated by issuance of delivery orders, which will not exceed $12,000,000 over the life of each contract. The anticipated award dates are March 2009. This procurement is unrestricted. Where the Government has multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts for identical services, delivery orders will be issued to the various firms based on similar project experience, expertise, workload, and performance on previous projects, with the intent to equally distribute the work. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under this contract must be no less than those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act. In accordance with Public Law 95-707, large business firms are reminded that a subcontracting plan will be required which provides for subcontracting work to small and small disadvantaged firms to the maximum extent practicable. If any of the work is to be subcontracted, the Albuquerque District goal is for 70% of the subcontracted dollars to go to small business with the percentage of those dollars distributed as follows: 6.2% to small disadvantaged business, 7.0% to woman owned business, 9.8% to HUB-zone small business, 3.0% veteran-owned small business and 0.9% service disabled veteran owned small business (SDVOSB). To be eligible for contract award, a firm or Joint Venture must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the Internet Site at www.ccr.gov. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The work may include any and all types of architectural or engineering studies and reports; preliminary and final designs to include cost estimates, plans and specifications, associated site surveys and mapping; and services during construction for Air Force, DHS-CBP, and other Federal Agencies. Some designs may be developed using the metric system of measurement. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 of the Fed Biz Ops for general selection process. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria ( a) through (e) are primary.
