- Description: ALL QUESTIONS SHALL BE SUBMITTED VIA THE BIDDER INQUIRY PORTAL IN PROJNET AS DESCRIBED IN THE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS BELOW. Point Of Contact for this announcement is Ms. Allison Jones. This notice is posted in its entirety and hereby serves as the official solicitation for this project. CONTRACT INFORMATION: A-E services are required for an IDIQ to support the IMCOM BUILDER SMS (BUILDER) Program throughout CONUS and OCONUS. The contractor will be required to perform services in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) National Program Office for support of the IMCOM BUILDER SMS program customers and projects. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. This announcement plans to issue seven (7) Unrestricted IDIQ, SATOCs. The Government may award other than seven (7) SATOCs depending on the source selection decision regarding how many contractors are considered most highly qualified in accordance with Brooks Act procedures. The total shared capacity of the IDIQ awards will be $150,000,000. There is no set aside capacity for this procurement. Selection of A-E firms is not based upon competitive bidding procedures, but rather upon the professional qualifications necessary for the performance of the required services. Only firms considered most highly qualified will be awarded a contract. Multiple awards will be made from this solicitation. The contracts will be awarded for a term not to exceed a total of five (5) years. Work under this contract will be subject to satisfactory negotiation of individual firm fixed price task orders, with the total IDIQ contract value not to exceed $150,000,000 over the five-year life of the contracts. No one firm will receive more than one award as a result of this solicitation. Rates will be negotiated for each 12-month period of the contract. All interested A-E firms are cautioned to review the restrictions of FAR 9.5 (Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest). All interested A-E firms are reminded that, in accordance with the provisions of PL 95-507, they will be expected to place subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent consistent with the efficient performance of the contract with small and small disadvantaged firms. Large businesses selected for this contract must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan for that part of the work it intends to subcontract. Large businesses selected for this contract will be required to submit a detailed subcontracting plan during contract negotiation. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this action is 541330. Contractor Manpower Reporting: The contractor shall report ALL contractor labor hours (including subcontractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided under this contract for the Department of Defense via a secure data collection site. The contractor is required to completely fill in all required data fields using the following web address: http://www.ecmra.mil/. Reporting inputs will be for the labor executed during the period of performance during each Government fiscal year (FY), which runs October 01 through September 30. While inputs may be reported at any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October 31 of each calendar year, beginning with 2014. Contractors may direct questions to the help desk at: http://www.ecmra.mil/. PROJECT INFORMATION: A-E Services for this contract will be used, but are not limited, to perform and assist the IMCOM to implement BUILDER assessments and supporting activities such as: implementation/preparation of sustainable infrastructure assessments, real property installed equipment surveys, space utilization surveys; real property inventories, building energy audit surveys, and Army Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) at US Army CONUS and OCONUS installations. These other services will include all types of comprehensive support for implementation and support of BUILDER at US Army Installations worldwide. The implementation and associated support will improve building inspections and facility management business processes. In accordance with DoD directive, IMCOM is required to utilize BUILDER which was developed by the USACE Engineer Research and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) to conduct its facility condition assessments. BUILDER is a software application for building asset lifecycle management. BUILDER stores real property building information and more detailed system inventory is modeled and/or collected which identifies building components and their key life-cycle attributes such as the age, material and capacity. Site Inspections are performed on the various components to determine engineering based objective and repeatable Condition Index (CI) measures which relate the general physical health of the asset. Functionality assessments may be performed to evaluate user requirement changes, compliance and obsolescence issues. With information about condition, functionality, and remaining service life, BUILDER guides the development of short and long-range work plans based on sound investment strategies, prioritization criteria, and budget constraints. IMCOM, through the Mobile District, had already completed a two phase pilot project to test utilization of the BUILDER tool at selected IMCOM installations. The vast majority of the work will be on active Army installations; however work may also include a variety of projects potentially on government leased property.

Criterion E is secondary and will only be used as a tie-breaker among technically equal firms. A.
