- Description
- Synopsis is hereby revised to read as follows. 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION. AE services are required for multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDC). Each contract will have a maximum amount of $ 2.4 million for the basic contract with four (4) one-year option periods, each option period with a maximum amount of $2.4 million, for a total maximum contract amount of $12.0 million. Services will be implemented through negotiated firm-fixed-price task orders that may be issued up to the maximum contract amount. The basic contract period is one year from the contract award date and each option period extends the contract by an additional one-year period. Option periods may be exercised before one year expires if the basic contract or option periods previously awarded have been exhausted or nearly exhausted. The Government is not obligated to exercise the option periods. The contract will require the Government to order services priced at not less than two percent (2%) of the stated maximum contract amount for the basic contract, and if exercised, not less than one percent (1%) of the stated maximum contract amount for each of the option periods. Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are anticipated to be issued to qualified firm(s) within eight (8) months after selections are made. The government reserves the right to obtain updates to A-E Firms qualifications prior to issuance of RFP. THE CONTRACTS WILL BE AWARDED ONLY TO UNITED STATES FIRMS OR TO JOINT VENTURES OF UNITED STATES AND HOST NATION FIRMS. To be eligible for contract award, United States firms must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at http://www.ccr.gov/ or by contacting the DOD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. Multiple contracts will be awarded for the same services. Each contractor will be afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order. The Contracting Officer will consider the following factors when awarding a task order: specialized experience, performance and quality of previously submitted deliverables under the contract, current capacity to accomplish the work in the required time, equitable distribution of work among IDC holders and other relevant factors. The Government may issue a Letter of Identification to the contractor upon request after issuance of task orders. The Letter of Identification entitles contractor personnel to enter into Japan to perform work on task orders issued under the contract. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION. Each Indefinite Delivery Contract requires Architect-Engineer services for U.S. funded design work including repair, maintenance, new construction, planning, engineering studies, site investigations, construction phase services, and other general engineering activities. It is anticipated that a significant portion of the work awarded under these contracts will be for design of new construction and/or renovation of Department of Defense Education Authority (DODEA) facilities in Japan. PROJECTS ARE LOCATED ON U.S. MILITARY INSTALLATIONS THROUGHOUT JAPAN. FREQUENT SITE VISITS AS WELL AS MEETINGS IN JAPAN MAY BE REQUIRED. Design criteria will normally be based on U.S. and DOD requirements; however, design deliverables must address local construction methods and materials that meet the intent of U.S. criteria in order to facilitate the use of local methods and materials. Work and deliverables may also include feasibility studies, facility assessments, engineering studies, environmental studies, cost analyses, formulation of facility sustainment programs, general investigation and design activities in support of DoDEA and regulatory compliance, surveying and mapping, topographic and boundary surveys, geotechnical services, GIS modeling, CADD/BIM produced plans (AutoDesk Suite of Softwares is required), specifications prepared utilizing Specsintact (Government furnished software), construction cost estimates prepared utilizing Excel Spreadsheets (government furnished), design analysis, weekly status reports, value engineering, submittal and shop drawing review, construction management support, and school standards development and maintenance using BIM. Design considerations may include master planning, landscaping, architectural evaluations, hardware, electronic and communications systems, AT/FP compliance, coordination for ordnance and/or explosives investigations, environmental and EPA regulatory considerations for storm water and site drainage pollution prevention plans, AHERA asbestos abatement, and construction site requirements. Electronic files are required to be provided on CD or DVD. Materials and sites to be investigated may contain Asbestos, Lead Based Paint, CFC's, PCB's, Radiological Waste, UST's, OE, or any other related HTRW/Environmental Material on potentially contaminated sites. Some work may require attending public meetings, and coordinating with Federal, State, and Local regulatory agencies. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA. The Selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a through d are primary selection criteria, and e and f are secondary and will only be used as a tie-breaker among firms that are essentially technically equal: a. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE 1) Knowledge and experience in preparing U.S. funded design drawings, specifications, cost estimates and studies for the repair/renovation, maintenance, and construction of facilities on U.S. military installations. Include relevant experience with DoD design standards and criteria. Particular attention should be made to area architecture and infrastructure at military installations, utility systems, landscaping, interior design, value engineering, and environmental issues. Recent (within the last 3 years) and significant experience in the design of facilities for DoDEA, or public school systems (elementary, middle, and high school); Experience in DoDEA-Pacific is preferred and will be given more weight during evaluation. (Note: Provide a minimum of two but not more than seven completed projects. Use a separate Section F for each project and clearly identify the companys role as prime or subcontractor for each completed project.) 2) Knowledge and experience with Japanese design and construction practices, materials, procedures, standards, criteria and codes. 3) The firms design Quality Management Plan to include: management approach, coordination of disciplines and subs/consultants, quality control procedures (including procedures for performing project-specific quality control plans, detailed checks, independent technical reviews) and prior working experiences of the prime firm and any significant subs/consultants. 4) Knowledge of sustainable design and development (SDD) practices including experience with implementation of federal mandates (including, but not limited to, EPAct 2005, EISA 2007, E.O. 13423, E.O. 13514), LEED documentation and LEED certification procedures and energy modeling analysis. Including at least one LEED Accredited Professional (AP) on the design team is highly desirable. The LEED AP may be a team member responsible for a design discipline but this person shall be the single point of contact for the government for SDD matters and shall be responsible for all SDD documentation of the contract. 5) Demonstrate the ability to prepare designs and submit drawings and Building Information Models (BIM) in the AutoDesk Suite of softwares utilizing of AutoCAD and REVIT and/or Microstation.
