Architect-Engineering Services that may be required under this contract include drawings, technical specifications, cost estimates, design analysis, engineering calculations, request for proposal preparation, conceptual design development, site and project planning, engineering studies to include life safety code, sustainable design, LEED documentation, topographic surveying, use of GIS systems, aerial surveys and other survey work and construction phase services to include shop drawing review, as-built drawing preparation, preparation of O&M manuals, and engineering consultation services. Products shall be produced to Corps of Engineers guidelines and specific formats set forth by task order. The firm must demonstrate the ability to: provide drawings in Microstation CADD software (version as required by the project); Use the latest version of M II (cost engineering software as provided by the Government) for the development of construction cost estimates; Use of Corps computer-based specification software and the development of Plans & Specifications (SPECSINTACT); utilize Projnet (DRChecks) (https://wwwprojnet.org) for comment resolution of design review submittals; and have capability in Building Information Modeling (BIM). 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed below. Factors (a-f) are listed in descending order of importance, while subfactors are of equal importance. Criteria (a-f) are primary factors. Criteria (g-i) are secondary factors and will only be used as 'tie-breakers' among firms that are essentially technically equal.
