- PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD. ALL INFORMATION REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE SF330 DOCUMENTS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO GAYLE HANSON AT VILMA.G.HANSON@USACE.ARMY.MIL. The Seattle District Corps of Engineers has a requirement for an Architect-Engineer Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for Multi-Discipline Design and Construction Support Services, primarily for Fort Lewis, Washington and its Sub-Installations as well as McChord Air Force Base, Washington. This procurement will be evaluated using Brooks Act (PL-92-582) procedures and FAR Part 36. THIS IS AN UNRESTRICTED ACQUISITION OPEN TO ALL QUALIFIED BUSINESS CONCERNS. The scope and purpose of this IDIQ contract will be to provide full multi-discipline and abbreviated design services for renovation, repair and minor construction projects, as well as to provide construction management services, primarily for projects at Fort Lewis and its sub-installations as well as McChord Air Force Base. Individual Task Orders to be assigned under this contract will identify specific requirements. DESCRIPTION: (A) The Architect-Engineer (A-E) shall perform all or part of the following design services, as identified in individual Task Orders: 1. Prosecute the various work features as described hereinafter to the extent set forth in individual Task Orders to be issued hereunder. 2. Utilize Government designs, drawings, specifications, and standards for buildings, structures and other facilities as necessary to meet the requirements of the proposed project. 3. Prepare, subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer, charrettes, preliminary studies, sketches, layout plans, reports and cost estimates of the proposed project. The variety of projects shall include maintenance, repair, alteration and minor construction projects at Fort Lewis and its sub-installations, McChord AFB and projects assigned to Seattle District, USACE. The number of copies of the studies, sketches, plans and reports to be furnished to the Government will be set forth in each individual Task Order. A portion of the designs shall be abbreviated plans and specifications with detailed cost estimates utilizing the Army Job Order Contract (JOC) Computerized Pricing Guide (CPG) WinEst. WinEst is a Windows based RS Means database program designed for IBM PC compatible computers. This CPG system has been selected for use as the cost basis for all work under the JOC and may also be used for negotiated orders under the Fort Lewis Multi Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC). The CPG contains more than 55,000 unit price construction line items for the description of work to be accomplished and for the unit of measure specified. Line item costs will be determined by multiplying the RS Means Bare Costs by the nearest available City Cost Index to localize the bare costs. The localized bare costs are then multiplied by the JOC or MATOC Contractor's coefficient. Cost estimates shall be automated utilizing the latest version of the automated pricing system. Multiple annual databases may be utilized depending on the date estimates are prepared or the terms of the individual JOC and MATOC. Effort may also include supporting government project managers in their negotiations with JOC and MATOC contractors prior to award of construction Task Orders. Designs may also include design-build projects requiring preparation of material takeoffs, bills of materials, and detailed designs. Projects are primarily architectural with related civil, mechanical and electrical work, including some asbestos and lead abatement work. Some examples of projects include: i. Renovation of existing buildings to include demolition, repair or replacement of building systems and components, interior design, and site improvements. Abate any asbestos directly related to the project including any associated landscaping architectural work. ii. Total renovation and restoration of administrative and barracks buildings, new facility construction, additions and renovations to existing facilities, road work, railroad, and bridgework. iii. Repair and construction projects involving HVAC systems and components, lighting, wiring, communications, fire protection and alarm systems, intrusion detection systems, CCTV, vehicle exhaust systems, and irrigation systems. iv. Construction management services to include evaluation of contractor designs, review and recommendation of material submittals, provision of random construction inspection and design of contract modifications beyond the original scope of design services. 4. Obtain the necessary permits, licenses, and approvals from all local, State and Federal authorities as necessary for the performance of the A-E's services. 5. Prepare informal shop drawings, abbreviated design analysis, and estimates incidental to the job for Task Order contracts, in-house construction, or troop construction. 6. Perform limited surveying and geotechnical services. 7. Implement the Fort Lewis Environmental Management System by committing to: i) Comply with all applicable environmental policy, laws, and regulations and The PW EMS which conforms to the criteria defined in the international standard, ISO 14001:2004 Environmental management systems. The installation's environmental policy can be found at www.lewis.army.mil/publicworks, click on Environmental, and then click on PW Environmental Policy. Additional information on the PW EMS can be obtained by contacting the PW EMS; ii) Identify potential sources of pollution and meet or exceed Army goals for prevention of pollution; iii) Assess the effect on the environment of activities, products, and services throughout their life cycles. Set objectives and targets to minimize adverse environmental impacts. Implement and monitor programs to achieve objectives and targets; iv) Actively pursue continual improvement in environmental management. 8. Prepare environmental studies and plans to include field investigations, data collection and analyses, report writing and remedial designs. 9. Incorporate the concept and principles of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) into planning and infrastructure maintenance and repair projects. LEED is defined as the systematic consideration of an activity, product or decision life-cycle impacts on the environment, energy use, natural resources, economy and quality of life. 10. Incorporate the concept and principles of Low Impact Development (LID) into planning and infrastructure construction and repair projects. LID is a comprehensive land planning and engineering design approach with a goal of maintaining and enhancing the pre-development hydrologic regime of urban and developing watersheds. This design approach incorporates strategic planning with micro-management techniques to achieve superior environmental protection, while allowing for development or infrastructure rehabilitation to occur. The goal is to maintain and enhance the pre-development hydrologic regime of urban and developing watersheds. This design approach incorporates strategic planning with micro-management techniques to achieve environmental protection, while allowing for development or infrastructure rehabilitation to occur. 11. Incorporate the concept and principles of Sustainable Design and Development (SDD) into planning and infrastructure maintenance and repair projects. SDD is defined as the systematic consideration of an activity, product or decision life-cycle impacts on the environment, energy use, natural resources, economy and quality of life. (B) The A-E shall perform all or part of the following construction support services as specifically identified in the individual Task Orders: 1. Review, check for adequacy, and provide recommendation for Government approval of construction contractor's material submittals, safety plans, quality control plans, schedules and shop drawings. 2. Review proposals for value engineering and modification changes, and attend pre-construction and in-progress meetings to provide technical recommendations. 3. Prepare drawings, cost estimates, design analysis, sketches and other engineering documents for determining the requirement for use in contract modifications for work that is beyond the original A-E design service. 4. Conduct asbestos and lead inspection surveys in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations. 5. Provide technical and specialized inspection service, including field visits, to monitor construction work. 6. Assist the Government in conducting the final construction inspections.
