Naval Facilities Engineering Command Mid-Atlantic IPTNE is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, certified HUBZone Small Business, and certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Businesses with current relevant qualifications, experience, personnel and capability to perform: Architectural/ Structural//Mechanical/Electrical/Civil, Fire Protection Services in support of Projects at Military Installations throughout the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Mid-Atlantic IPTNE Area of Responsibility. The projects are located in NAVFAC MIDLANT IPTNE AOR that includes states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware. NAVFAC intends to award up to six (6) separate, stand alone IDIQ A&E contracts, it is anticipated that the award the contracts will reflect work within MIDLANT IPTNE geographic area and that orders will be issued against the appropriate contract vehicle for such work. No task orders will be competed among the contracts awarded. Contracts will be awarded not to exceed $10,000,000.The preponderance of projects envisioned for these contracts are in the $1,000,000 to $40,000,000 range of estimated construction cost. Projects can be categorized as Architectural and Engineering design services in nature and shall include, but are not limited to: personnel housing facilities (Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) and Bachelor Officers' Quarters (BOQ)); office facilities; training facilities (operational, maintenance and classroom); and industrial maintenance facilities (Vehicle Maintenance Shops. Shore Intermediate Maintenance Activities, Aircraft Maintenance Hangars, Public Works Shops, Warehouses): (a) Building construction and addition of Special Projects and MILCON facilities; (b) General b building renovation work, i.e., repair/replacement of roofs, windows, doors, ceilings, floors, restrooms, exterior and interior building finishes, HVAC, plumbing, lighting, power, fire protection and communications; (c) Conducting Life Safety Code Studies, interior space ! planning/design studies, (d) Site work, paving, landscaping, structural, electrical, communications, mechanical, plumbing, fire ! protection, energy conservation systems, and utilities; and (e) marine facilities (harbors, jetties, piers, wharves, ship terminals, dredging).Architectural and Engineering Design Services that may be required under this contract include, but are not limited to, facility planning which includes project programming documents (1391 development) which entails preparation of basic project documents of the DD Form 1391 in the Navy's Electronic Procurement Generator (EPG), development of requirements, preparation of engineering evaluations, project scope, and unit guidance costs or parametric cost estimating, development of alternatives and economic analysis; analysis of proposed sites for foundations, utilities, access, constraints and identification of environmental, sustainable design and anti-terrorism/force protection issues; Design-Bid-Build packages (drawings, specifications, basis of design, cost estimates, and all associated engineering services), Design-Build Request fo! r Proposal (RFP) packages, government collateral equipment lists, USGBC LEED Checklists and Sustainable Design Reports, developing building commissioning requirements, 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 record document preparation. The initial project(s) 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 exercised 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.
