- Description
- NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Facilities Engineering Design and Inspection Services (FEDIS) utilizing Architect and Engineering (A/E) processes (FAR Part 36.6). The services to be provided under this procurement consist of Design Services, Master Planning, Surveillance and Inspection Services at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), Alabama. All services will be provided on-site at the MSFC. The required services will include these disciplines: Architects, Interior Designers, Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, HVAC Engineers, Building Automation Designers, Estimators, Master Planners, Construction Inspectors in referenced disciplines, Plant Operations and Maintenance Inspectors, and Building Commissioning Agents. The MSFC “campus” has over 200 facilities. Most of these support space systems research and development for NASA. The facilities include highly specialized laboratories, advanced propulsion and payload test facilities, engine test facilities, structural test facilities, vacuum chambers, wind tunnels, and office buildings (and others). The services can be divided into three categories: Design Services, Master Planning Services, and Surveillance and Inspection Services. 1-Design Services include, but are not limited to: Preparing architectural, civil, structural, environmental, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, utility control system, and multi-discipline project designs in support of Local projects (construction less than $1M). Designs include criteria development, construction drawings, calculations, specifications, and cost estimates, Adding and or modifying the existing building automation system (MSFC’s system is called the Utilities Control System) to reflect additions or changes to the HVAC systems (or process equipment) at the MSFC facilities, Managing the existing, historical drawings files, Assessing and updating the above-and-below ground utility maps, Making recommendations for digging permits, Preparing as-built drawings for CoF (above $1M) and Local (below $1M) projects, Performing configuration management, Providing miscellaneous tasks such as special studies, land surveys, geotechnical analysis, etc., Providing construction support, Answering request for information, Reviewing construction submittals, Incorporating energy efficiency and sustainability in planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining MSFC facilities, and Certifying new facilities under the United States Green Building Council’s “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” (LEED) program. Registered, licensed professionals will oversee all Design Services and will stamp all prepared construction documents. Historically, there have been approximately 150 Local projects annually having construction costs between $2K and $50K each. Also, there have been approximately 55 projects annually having construction costs between $50K and $1M each. 2-Master Planning Services include, but are not limited to: Defining future requirements for facilities work at MSFC. Definition of the requirements includes field investigation, preparation of sketches/drawings, preparation of narrative descriptions, preparation of project programming data, and preparation of cost estimates. Requirements will be developed to support: - Master Planning - Space Utilization/Real Property, and - Construction of Facilities (CoF) annual program (and future years) - Preparing miscellaneous studies of facilities and other infrastructure in support of planning the CoF program, Preparing studies related to the land use of roadways, Updating and maintaining master planning documents such as maps, plans, analysis, graphics, etc., Updating and maintaining the existing geographic information system database, Updating and maintaining the existing facilities data book, Developing and maintaining strategic plans, Integrating all planned and ongoing facility project activities, Providing historical survey and documentation support, and Providing support to update and maintain the Master Planning website. MSFC’s annual CoF program historically includes approximately $40M of utility systems repairs, facilities alterations/modifications, and new construction. Also, the annual CoF program historically consists of between four to eight projects each having a construction cost greater than $1M. 3- Surveillance and Inspection Services include, but are not limited to: 3a - Construction Surveillance and Inspection Services: Construction Surveillance and Inspection Services shall include construction project surveillance, inspection/surveillance planning and procedures, inspections, test monitoring, schedule coordination, utility outage coordination, reports/status preparation, constructability design reviews, and maintenance of all construction documentation. The selected firm will also be responsible for review and evaluation of work completed, progress schedules, all contractor submittals, request for information, construction change requests, and plans/reports submitted by construction contractors. Application/use of computer software such as Excel, Windows, Primavera Contract Manager or equivalent. Projected construction surveillance and inspection services are for approximately 4 major or discreet projects annually having a construction cost greater than $10M each, 3 minor projects annually with a construction cost between $1 M and $10M each, and approximately 300 small construction or Local projects with a construction cost of less than $ 1M each. This effort requires services and specialized technical expertise not typical to standard commercial construction under a variety of conditions, constraints, and contract types. 3b- Plant Operations and Maintenance Inspections. Plant Operations and maintenance inspections shall cover work activities by the Facilities Operations and Maintenance Support contractor. Historically, 800 activities were initiated and 500 were completed at a total annual cost of approximately $10M. The lump sum responsibilities consist of random inspections of several hundred minor maintenance activities (less than $2K) and preventive maintenance activities. 3c - LEED, Leadership in Energy, and Environmental Design Activities. LEED activities shall consist of creating and maintaining building commissioning plans and integrating those plans into the Facility program, providing guidance during the design process and ensuring that the design intent and basis of design, final design product and construction reflect and comply with appropriate LEED requirements leading to LEED building certifications; conduct of energy audits or walkthroughs. Historically, the work included in this Synopsis was performed by two separate contracts which were The On-Site Architect and Engineering AE Services Contract (Design Services and Master Planning) and the Construction Phase, Value Engineering and Total Building Commissioning Services Contract (Surveillance and Inspection Services). The value of the On-Site Architect and Engineering AE Services Contract has historically been funded at approximately $6M annually and has typically required an average staff of 46 employees. The staff has historically consisted of a Site Manager, 3 Architects, 2 Civil Engineers, 2 Structural Engineers, 5 Mechanical Engineers, 5 Electrical Engineers, 10 Drafting/Designers, 2 Utility Control System Designers, 6 Estimators, 6 Planners, and 4 Administrative Assistants. The value of the Construction Phase, Value Engineering and Total Building Commissioning Services Contract has historically been funded at approximately $2M annually and has typically required an average staff of 15 employees. The staff has historically consisted of a Site Manager, 2 Team Leads, 9 Construction Inspectors, 2 Administrative Assistants and a Commissioning Agent. The following criteria will be used in the preliminary screening of the A/E firms responding to this announcement: (1) Must submit a fully completed, current Standard Form 330; (2) Must have experience in designing LEED projects and projects with energy efficiency and sustainable features; (3) Must be located in Small Business Administration (SBA), Southern Region IV; (4) Must have registered licensed professionals in the following disciplines: Architectural, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Electrical Engineering; and Mechanical Engineering, (5) Must have trained and highly experienced Construction, Plant Operations and Maintenance Inspectors and a LEED commissioning Agent and (6) Must provide an organizational chart of the proposed team that clearly shows any division of labor for work not being performed by the proposing firm’s office.
