(See attached Statement of Work.) It is anticipated than an Indefinite-Delivery/Requirements type contract, with fixed labor hour provisions, will be awarded covering these environmental A&E services. Requirements are estimated at $200,000 per year. The resultant contract will include a base year and four 1-year renewal options. These options may or may not be exercised, at the sole discretion of the FAA. This requirement is available for full-and-open competition. A technical, as well as cost, evaluation will be conducted to determine "Best Value" to the FAA. A description of the technical submittal and subsequent evaluation can be found in Sections L and M of the Screening Information Request/Request for Offer (SIR/RFO). The A&E firm's submission of Standard Form (SF) 330 must demonstrate its qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors. The evaluation factors are listed in descending order of importance. Specific evaluation factors include: 1. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence-Offeror shall submit examples (detailed reviews) illustrating technical and managerial capabilities utilized in each of the following areas: (i) environmental assessment (NEPA) or environmental due diligence audit, (ii) pollution prevention project implementation (can include permit compliance projects), (iii) environmental management system implementation (can include ISO 14001 implementation), and (iv) environmental remedial investigation and design (CERCLA) performed within the last ten (10) years. These reviews must illustrate the scope of each effort, their complexity, how schedules were implemented and how objectives were met (include timetables.) Projects completed for the Federal Government, in particular, should be included, if any. 2. Past Performance-For each of the examples presented in response to Factor 1 above, offerors shall provide information on past performance in terms of cost control, quality of work, accuracy of construction cost estimates, and the number, dollar amounts, and reasons for construction change orders. 3.
