Work may include the preparation of plans and specifications, including general A/E project investigation, design, and observation on postal owned and/or leased facilities of various sizes, locations and functions. The U.S. Postal Service reserves the right to award more than one contract in one or both of the Milwaukee/Madison and/or the Green Bay/Wausau/Appleton geographic areas. This contract will be primarily for tasks within the State of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, however at the sole discretion of the USPS, it may be selectively utilized for work within the geographic area of responsibility of the USPS GL-FSO (IL, IN, MI, WI, & Eastern MO). The contract will have a minimum aggregate work order value of $5,000 and will be for two (2) years, with individual work orders being issued. The contract may be renewed for three (3) one-year periods providing the total contract amount does not exceed $5,000,000. Work orders for any one project cannot exceed $250,000. Each work order will be negotiated as an individual project. Groups of projects may be assigned at one time. Any resulting contract may be bilaterally modified to meet changing Postal regulations and needs. Building and site repair and alteration projects vary in scope and magnitude and may range from interior alterations, roofing and HVAC replacement to exterior paving civil improvements (cost range generally from $0 to $1,000,000 or more). The USPS Standard Building Designs include 1) Small Standard Building Designs (SSBD) from 1,000 SF to 10,000 SF; 2) Medium Standard Building Designs (MSBD) from 10,000 SF to 50,000 SF, 3) Retail Store Designs, and 4) Modular site adaptation, and may also include the site adaptation of previously designed facilities and other Postal Standard Plans. (Cost range generally from $250,000 to several millions of dollars for more complicated and larger projects). The general A/E scope of work will consist of investigation, design, preparation of proposal documents, construction budget and cost estimating, project and contract administrative duties, and observation of project construction for noted project types. Submitting firms must have a minimum of Auto CAD LT 2006 capability. Firms must possess a working knowledge and experience with the Architectural Barriers Compliance program (Postal Service Handbook RE-4, Standards of Facility Accessibility by the Physically Handicapped), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Significant evaluation factors include: 1. capacity of firm to accomplish multiple projects, 2. past postal experience in projects of similar scopes and magnitudes, 3. proficiency in the use of AutoCAD, 4. professional qualifications of staff to be assigned to projects, 5. cost control effectiveness, 6. construction observation and administrative experience, and 7. workload. Firms that have the qualifications to perform the services described previously are invited to submit a completed SF330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications for the prime firm as well as for each proposed consultant. The evaluation will be conducted by using the submitted SF 330s. Interested firms with more than one office must indicate on their SF 330 the staffing composition of the office in which the work will be performed. Consideration will be given to firms responding to this advertisement in the following order of preference: 1. within the Milwaukee/Madison geographic metropolitan areas (described as within the counties of Dane, Jefferson, Washington, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Racine or Kenosha), and/or within the Appleton/Green Bay/Wausau geographic metropolitan areas (described as within the counties of Marathon, Shawano, Outagamie or Brown), 2. within the State of Wisconsin, and 3. out of state. Architectural and Engineering firms will be considered as local only if their sole office is in the local geographical area or they have a local branch office and all the architectural design, coordination, and management for the contract will be performed in that office. There is no restriction on the geographical location of consultants. Minority-owned and Women-owned Business participation is encouraged. The contract contains a requirement for firms to provide evidence of current insurance of $250,000 of errors and omissions per claim if construction costs are estimated at less than $5,000,000. For construction costs estimated to exceed $5,000,000, coverage equal to a minimum of 5% of the cost estimated or $500,000, whichever is greater, is required for errors and omissions per claim. It is prohibited to pay any fee, commission, percentage, or brokerage fee to any person or firm contingent upon or resulting from award of a contract for this project. No other general notification for this project will be made. Submissions will not be retained or returned. This office does not supply the SF330 forms.
