This synopsis is for market research purposes only and IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A STANDARD FORM 330 nor does it restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs incurred in preparation of a response to this notice. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville is seeking capability statements from Architect-Engineer (AE) firms interested in proposing on an Indefinite Delivery type service contract for a full spectrum of A-E services in support of the Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS), Army Metering Program (AMP) and Electronic Security System (ESS) programs. Any contracts awarded are being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6 and Engineering Pamphlet (EP) 715-1-7. Firms will be selected for negotiations based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications for the required work. UMCS A-E work primarily encompasses services to investigate, plan, design, and test UMCS; Building Automation Systems (BAS); Fire Alarm Systems (FAS); Fire Alarm and Fire Protection Systems; SCADA Systems; Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems; Retro-Commissioning of UMCS/BAS and HVAC; telecommunications systems; alternative energy systems; other Automated Control Systems; and Other Electrical/Mechanical systems. The UMCS program supports the Army and other government agencies in the planning, design, procurement, installation, testing, and evaluation of utility monitoring and control systems. With respect to this requirement, the term "Utility Monitoring and Control System" or "UMCS" means an energy management system or building automation system that employs hardware and software to affect energy as well as manpower and equipment savings. Energy projects can include monitoring and controlling heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems as well as lighting, water and electric utilities and central plant equipment and alternative energy sources. Manpower savings may be accomplished by remotely monitoring and controlling equipment, meters, or systems which would otherwise require periodic visual observation or additional personnel. The AMP program supports the Army and other government agencies in the development, design, procurement, and installation of meters and metering systems and the connection of those systems to a secure Meter Data Management System (MDMS). The ESS program supports the Army and other government agencies in the development, design, procurement, and installation of electronic security. ESS includes intrusion detection sensors; annunciation, display, and monitoring systems; electronic entry control systems; closed circuit television systems, including lighting; and data transmission systems to support all elements of electronic security systems. These services will assist with the development of designs, criteria and standards, master planning, master programming, feasibility studies, engineering reports, cost estimating, value engineering, commissioning and retro-commissioning, investigating site conditions, computer energy modeling, factory and site test participation, security engineering / cyber security project scoping and budgeting, studies, technical evaluations as well as A-E administrative services related to construction, installation, fielding, and commissioning of projects. The requested A-E services must be provided within the established schedule of each task. The services and products delivered must be of high quality, technically sound, accurate, thorough, and in full compliance with applicable authorities, standards, policies, regulations, procedures, and guidelines to maintain and execute the mission of the UMCS, AMP and ESS Centers of Expertise.
