DESCRIPTION: ALL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR INTERESTED PARTIES TO SUBMIT A STANDARD FORM (SF) 330, ARCHITECT ENGINEER QUALIFICATIONS, IS CONTAINED HEREIN. THERE IS NO SEPARATE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD. THIS IS A TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE PROCUREMENT. A market research study was conducted by NAVFAC Southwest that included an assessment of relevant qualifications and capabilities of potentially qualified firms. Upon review of the market research, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in San Diego determined that a Small Business Set-Aside procurement is appropriate. The NAVFAC SW small business office concurs with the SBA determination. Architect-Engineer (A-E) services are required for a firm fixed-price Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Interior Design Services. Projects under this contract will occur at various military installations located in the NAVFAC Southwest (SW) Area of Responsibility (AOR) (California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah) and the NAVFAC Pacific AOR (Hawaii, Japan, Guam), but may be also available to the NAVFAC (AOR) as approved by the NAVFAC SW Chief of Contracting Office (CCO). Travel will be required to the project sites. The Offeror/Contractor must demonstrate adequate in-house staffing capability to self-perform at least 50 percent of the cost of the contract as required by FAR Clause 52.219-14(b) (1) Limitation on Subcontracting. A-E Design and Engineering Services shall mainly provide for, but not be limited to, INTERIOR DESIGN related services. All A-E services will be in accordance with the scope of this contract, Industry Design Codes and Standards and Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) such as Antiterrorism, Energy and Sustainable Design, Safety and Health Requirements. For this contract, the lead discipline shall be a certified Interior Designer. Acceptable certifications are a National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) certification or a state and/or jurisdiction Interior Design Certification, Registration, or License. The number of design task orders per fiscal year may vary and may involve surges of multiple projects with overlapping delivery dates. A-E services required: The work will primarily include preparing Comprehensive Interior Design (CID) for various types of facilities. CID includes Structural Interior Design (SID) and Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF and E) Interior Design. SID includes selection and coordination of interior finish materials that are integral to or attached to the building structure. FF and E interior design includes design, selection, specification, color coordination, and procurement documentation of the required items. SID packages will typically include furniture floor plans, finish schedules, and any supporting interior elevations, details, or plans necessary to communicate the building finish design and build out. FF and E packages will typically include placement plans, ordering and finish information on all freestanding furnishings and accessories, cost estimates, and best value determinations. Additional services may include the following: preparation of the interior design portion of a design-build Request for Proposal (RFP) package, including developing the FF and E requirements and budget for the project; verification of equipment and finishes during building construction; consultation during FF and E procurement, delivery, and installation; supervision of furniture assembly and placement; developing standards for FF and E for a program or group of projects; and other related consultation. Preparation of all interior design deliverables shall be in accordance with UFC 3-120-10, Interior Design. FF and E specifications shall be based on Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), General Services Administration (GSA) schedules, and other Federal contracts. The types of buildings/facilities may include, but are not limited to, administration buildings, academic facilities, maintenance facilities, hangars, industrial/warehouse, bachelor enlisted/officer quarters, recreational facilities, dining facilities, medical facilities, laboratories, and consolidated clubs. The maximum contract value may not exceed $5,000,000 aggregate total. The minimum guarantee for the contract is $5,000. The minimum guarantee for the entire contract term (including option years) will be satisfied by the award of the initial task order. The minimum value of individual task orders executed under this contract is $5,000. The maximum value of individual task orders executed under this contract is $400,000. There will be no dollar limit per year. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar completion schedules and overlapping delivery dates. Contract term is for a one-year base period with four option periods. Each performance period will run 365 (366 for leap year) calendar days. The hourly rates will be negotiated for each performance period. The Government may exercise the option period unilaterally. Per NFAS 17.208-100(c) (1), options for post-award services may be negotiated on individual task orders for unilateral exercise. The estimated start date is December 2016. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541410 (Interior Design Services) and the annual small business size standard is $7.5 Million. The Government makes no representation as to the number of task orders or the actual amount of work to be ordered. The contractor is not guaranteed work in excess of the minimum guarantee. Firms that provided Architect-Engineer services for a task order issued under the resulting contract are prohibited from participating on the subsequent construction contract. This limitation also applies to subsidiaries/affiliates of the firm. Firms or personnel shall not be affiliated with any furniture dealership, vendor, or manufacturer.
