- Description
- NASA Stennis Space Center (NASA/SSC) is seeking qualified firms to provideArchitect-Engineer services under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)contract. The minimum dollar amount the Government will be required to order will be$25,000.00 with an anticipated maximum amount of $9,000,000.00. The duration of thecontract will be for five (5) years. The Architect-Engineer (A/E) firm will be selectedto perform multidiscipline tasks under task ordering procedures. A. REQUIREMENTS A.1 Due to the nature of the anticipated work, a multidiscipline firm is needed withthe following capabilities: 1.Architectural Space planning and office layout,Conceptual building renderings, Roofing, replacement, New building design, Existingbuilding modifications and additions, 2. Civil Engineering, Geotech, Roadway,Environmental, Water supply/distribution systems, Wastewater collection and conveyancesystems, and Storm drainage systems. 3. Electrical Engineering, Low voltage, Highvoltage, Fire alarm and detection systems, and Fiber optics. 4. Mechanical Engineering,Ambient piping, Cryogenic and high pressure piping and systems, HVAC, EMCS, Plumbing, andFire Protection. 5. Structural Engineering, Facility modifications, and new buildings. 6. Design/Constructability Reviews. 7. Cost Estimating. 8.CADD Support, AutoCAD,Pro-E, and 3-D Modeling. Services required could include but are not limited to thefollowing: Given recent pipe NDE (non-destructive examination) data, provide a study todetermine the optimal wall thickness and margin to address the current design liferequirement of 50 years, including an assessment of corrosion effects on the requireddesign life and address if the desired life expectancy is realistic. Provide topographicsurveys, geotechnical analysis, and soil composition analysis, value engineering, costestimating, conceptual designs, preliminary engineering reports, provide support indevelopment of environmental documentation, complete design development of high pressurewater system piping and associated components, preparation of construction drawings andspecifications (editable in Microsoft Word). The high pressure industrial water systemat SSC is required to provide flow rates up to 360,000 gpm at a working pressure of 215psig. Pipe diameters range from 66 inches to 112 inches. Pipe diameters will be sizedto accommodate required flow rates. Analysis and design of pipeline supports and thrusttake-out structures, and optimize the piping route based on underground utilities,roadways, tunnels and other existing underground infrastructure. Given data, definecritical interfaces for controls and instrumentation within the HPIW Distribution Pipingdesign and use environmentally friendly processes, materials, and equipment whereappropriate. Design of connections to the existing system will be required. Planningand design shall allow the cross-country piping to be completely constructed in place,cleaned, and tested while isolated from the existing active HPIW Distribution PipingSystem which shall remain in service. All designs and specifications shall comply withapplicable SSC, NASA, and industry standards. The selected A-E firm is expected to workclosely with Government personnel, project managers, and user groups. The selected firmmust be capable of completing a background investigation through site security to obtainaccess to the Test Facilities.It is strongly desired that the selected firm be locatedwithin 300 miles of the place of performance. The following experience categories(profile codes) as identified on the SF-330 Architect-Engineer Qualifications aredesired for this solicitation:A10, C17, C18, E03, E09, P04, P07, R10, R11, S05, S09,S11, T02, T04, T06, V01, W02, and W03.Title II services may also be required, such asbut not limited to construction inspection services, preconstruction conferences, andconstruction management. Attached are potential tasks being considered for thissolicitation. A.2 The place of performance is Stennis Space Center Mississippi. A.3 This acquisition is for architect-engineer (A-E) services, and is procured inaccordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in Subpart 36.6 of the FederalAcquisition Regulation. A-E firms meeting the requirements described in this announcementare invited to submit: (1) a Standard Form (SF) 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications,Parts I and II, and (2) additional information requested by this synopsis. A.4 NASA Policy Directive 8820.3 requires incorporation of sustainable design principlesto the maximum extent possible to reduce life-cycle costs, implement pollution preventionprinciples, and minimize facility impacts on natural resources while maximizing occupanthealth, safety and productivity. All projects may not require the application of thisdirective; however, where it is appropriate, these design requirements will be metthrough application of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) approach. A.5 Offerors responses on the SF-330, Section H Additional Information shall includeat least three references that are familiar with the offerors skill level andprofessional development in LEED design and documentation. A.6 Additionally in Section H of the SF-330, offerors shall provide a brief narrative fortheir cost estimating approach and should include any unique factors in the estimatingapproach for performing work in the MS Gulf Coast area, specifically SSC. Offerors shallprovide a sample estimate with their proposal.A.7 Firms that have capability in environmental disciplines shall submit theirinformation under the Additional Information Section H of the SF 330 regarding theircompliance record (civil and criminal) for the past five years and any Notices ofViolations, Consent Orders, and/or Administrative Penalty Assessments (fines) issued orcurrently pending to the offeror or subcontractor from the federal EPA, the MississippiDepartment of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Mississippi Department of Health (MDH)Asbestos Programs Branch, or from any other environmental regulatory body in Arkansas,Louisiana, Alabama and Florida. Provide date, location, brief discussion of thecircumstances of each non-compliance, and date of final disposition of the matter orcurrent status. A.8 Firms that do not have LEED projects certified or LEED projects submitted forcertification shall submit a development plan as Appendix A LEED Development Plan withthe submission of Standard Form 330. The purpose of the plan is to explain how theofferor will ensure its staff can meet the LEED project design milestones and mitigaterisks associated with limited experience in LEED concepts. The plan must be detailed anddemonstrate specifically what steps the offeror will take to develop its LEED capability. It must include a time table of steps the offeror will take and how progress will bemeasured to develop its knowledge and skills. The plan shall be incorporated into thecontract if selected for award. On projects requiring LEED concepts, the offeror shallbe required to demonstrate increased knowledge and skills for LEED design as per theapproved Development Plan. B.
