Description

A-E services are required for an IDIQ Contract providing services which include, but are not limited to, electrical utility system studies, mechanical utility system studies, civil utility system studies and engineering and mapping services for various projects with associated multi-discipline architect-engineer support services. The services may include, but not limited to, electrical, mechanical and civil utility systems engineering studies; GPS mapping and GIS data coordination; energy conservation studies/surveys; preparation of cost estimates; parametric cost estimates; life cycle cost analysis; business case analysis; best management practice studies; concept design; preparation of project programming documents (DD1391); facility siting studies and conceptual design drawings, schematics and renderings. Study results may recommend new construction, alteration, repair, maintenance, and/or installation or modifications of various electrical, mechanical and/or civil utilities systems. The selected A-E may be required to participate in a pre-fee meeting within seven days of notification and provide a fee proposal within ten days of the meeting. Evaluation and selection of the most highly qualified firm will be based on the selection criteria stated herein. The A-E must demonstrate its and each key consultant �s qualifications with respect to the published selection criteria for all services. The following selection criteria 1 thru 10 are listed below in descending order of importance: (1)Specialized Experience (within the past 3 years) and Technical Competence: A-E firms will be evaluated on specialized experience and technical competence in (including subcontractors) or particular staff members proposed for studies of electrical power utility distribution, transmission, and generation systems, power system/quality analysis including power system analysis programs such as Easypower or SKM, mechanical utility production, and distribution systems (steam, compressed air, salt water and demineralized water) and infrastructure, civil utility production, treatment, distribution and collection systems (potable water and waste water) and infrastructure, GPS mapping and GIS data coordination, SCADA control and data systems and interface, and energy studies in tropical environments similar to Hawaii, Guam and Pacific Ocean Areas. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: SF330, Part 1, Section F. The A-E should provide a maximum of five (5) completed projects. If more than five (5) projects are provided, only the first five (5) will be considered. A �project � is defined as either a stand-alone contract or a single task order under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Projects located throughout the Pacific AOR will be evaluated more favorably. If the firm was a subcontractor on the project, the offeror should specifically address the work performed by the firm. If the project detail does not clearly delineate the work performed by the offeror, the project will be evaluated less favorably. (2)Professional Qualifications (e.g. education, experience, professional registrations) of Key Personnel assigned to this contract for the type of work addressed in Selection Criterion 1: A-E firms will be evaluated in terms of the related qualifications and experience of the key personnel proposed to accomplish this work. Professional qualifications of key personnel proposed for studies of electrical power utility distribution, transmission, and generation systems, mechanical utility systems, civil utility systems, GPS mapping and GIS data coordination, SCADA control systems, and energy studies in tropical environments. Individuals identified as key personnel are individuals who will be dedicated staff and have major contract or project management responsibilities and/or will provide specific expertise on this contract. Key personnel that are expected to have direct control of project execution for this contract should be listed. Failure to provide qualified personnel in each technical area as described above will be evaluated less favorably. The professional qualifications and past performance of the prime or lead contractor �s key personnel will be evaluated more favorably than those of a subcontractor(s) �s key personnel. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: SF330, Part 1, Section E. Provide the following: (a) list of names of each proposed key personnel to be assigned to this contract. Identify and describe their professional registration or qualifications, role expected to play in this contract, and roles they performed in similar projects similar to those listed in Selection Criterion 1; and (b) resumes for key personnel are limited to two (2) pages each and shall include project specific info that clearly set forth the role and experience the individual had in performing the contract. Any pages over this limit will not be considered. (3) Past Performance: A-E firms will be evaluated on the utility projects documented in selection criterion (1) above with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules shall be provided. Past performance information not related to the projects described to meet selection criterion (1) will not be considered. The A-E shall provide Architect-Engineer Contract Administration Support System (ACASS) performance documentation or similar for each project. If an ACASS performance documentation or similar for each project is not available, provide a Performance Survey (download from NECO (Navy Electronic Commerce Online) website) and submit the Survey with the SF330). The Performance Survey shall be from the contracting agent and/or their representative responsible for the contract administration, or from the facility owner/user. It shall not be from the prime contractor on a project nor shall it be from a prime contractor to a subcontractor. If the A-E received any less than satisfactory past performance evaluations from customers/owners, it is incumbent upon the A-E to provide an explanation of the rating and what the A-E has done or will do to preclude less than satisfactory ratings on future contracts. In evaluating past performance, the Government may consider information in the A-E �s SF-330 and information gathered from other sources including former customers, Government agencies, federal databases and other references. The info provided by the A-E may provide the major portion of the information used in the Government's evaluation for past performance. The Government, however, is not restricted to the information provided by the Offeror and may use other sources to assess past performance info such as the Past Performance Info Retrieval System (PPIRS), ACASS, and inquiries with previous customers/owners. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT: SF330, Part 1, Section H. If an A-E is utilizing past performance information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent /LLC/LTD member companies, the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract in order for the past performance info of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies to be considered. The proposal shall state specific commitments of technical resources (e.g. personnel, equipment) that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will commit to the performance of this contract. In particular, the proposal will clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member that will perform the contract requirements. The SF-330 shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the A-E for future task orders in performance of the contract. (c) A subcontractor's or subconsultant's past performance will not be given the same level of consideration as either the prime contractor or the joint venture partner because there is no direct legal relationship between the Government and the subcontractor/subconsultant. The Government will consider the past performance and experience of a subcontractor/subconsultant where the prime contractor provides, in its SF-330, evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement which creates legal responsibility on the part of the prime contractor and the subcontractor/subconsultant to enter into a subcontract. However, the level of consideration will depend on the extent to which the proposal demonstrates the prime contractor's commitment to award a subcontract to the subcontractor/subconsultant and subcontractor's/subconsultant's commitment to enter into a subcontract with the prime contractor, including legal accountability for both parties. (d) Prime contractor-subcontractor/subconsultant teams/Joint Ventures/LLCs/LTDs with a demonstrated history of working successfully together on prior projects may be considered more favorably than those without such history. (4) Experience in Sustainable Design: As part of technical areas identified in criteria 1, A-E will be evaluated on knowledge and demonstrated experience in applying sustainability concepts and principles to facilities, utilities and infrastructure problems in order to validate A-E ability to do energy studies that will consider other aspects to achieve LEEDS (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design System) points on the project. (5) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT: SF330, Part 1, Section H (this criterion shall be addressed by prime only in lieu of by individual subconsultants). Describe the proposed team �s ability to complete several large and small task orders concurrently requiring quick turnaround. Information as to the present workload, including the numbers and types of personnel currently employed on a permanent basis and available during peak load periods on a temporary basis (including key personnel). Management and organizational structure shall be provided including job classification and code (including subcontractors) down to the third tier of key personnel. Indicate how your organization functions in absence of key personnel. (6)Personnel shall be of U.S. or naturalized citizens who can qualify for access to security areas. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT: SF330, Part 1, Section H (7)Quality Control Program: A-E firms will be evaluated on the demonstrated success of the Quality Control (QC) program used on previous utility studies to ensure technical accuracy and coordination of all deliverables, plans and documents. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT: SF330, Part 1, Section H (this criterion shall be addressed by prime only in lieu of by individual subconsultants). Describe internal quality assurance procedures that shows: processes for checking documents for errors, omissions and quality and incorporating and tracking review comments, customer service and communication plan including but not limited to timelines, ability for government personnel to contact contractor staff, points of contact for scope clarification and issue resolution. Provide a list of personnel that will perform and be responsible for the QC program. If you propose the use of subcontractors, include a management plan containing information regarding experience managing subcontracts and methodology you will use to ensure subcontractor performance. Additionally, contractor shall address how they will QA/QC deliverables which are provided to the government in different languages. (8)Ability to translate technical documents between English and Korean, Tagalog, Ilocano or Japanese. (9) A-E Firm �s Location A-E firms will be evaluated on the locations of the office or offices from which the A-E firm will perform the work under this contract. Location in the general geographical area of the NAVFAC Pacific AOR and knowledge of the locality of the project to operate effectively under state, city county, territorial and host nation laws and regulations. Offices within a short commuting distance of NAVFAC Hawaii in Honolulu, NAVFAC Marianas in Guam and NAVFAC Far East in Yokosuka, Japan may be evaluated more favorably. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: SF330, Part 1, Section H (this criterion shall apply to the prime only). Indicate A-E firm �s location, including main offices, and branch offices and demonstrate how this will be advantageous to the government. Address ability of the firm to ensure timely response to requests for on-site support. (10) Volume of work: A-E firms will be evaluated in terms of work previously awarded to the A-E firm by Department of Defense (DoD) within the past 12 months with the objective of effecting an equitable distribution of DoD A-E contracts among qualified A-E services providers that have not had prior DoD contracts. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: SF330, Part 1, Section H. Indicate the number of DoD contracts or task orders and the respective award amounts for each performed by the A-E firm within the past 12 months. If the firm performed work as a subcontractor, indicate the contract and/or task order of the prime contractor and the estimated amount completed as the subcontractor. A-E firms with multiple offices shall indicate which branch office completed each project. This procurement is a 100% set-aside for small business concerns.
