Description

1. A-E Services are being procured in accordance with the Selection of Architects and Engineers Statute (Public Law 92-582), formerly known as the Brooks Act, and implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.6. All submissions will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria listed herein. The Government will not pay, nor reimburse, any costs associated with responding to this request. The Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. Firms will be selected based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The NAICS Code for this acquisition is 541330 and the applicable Small Business Size Standard is $16.5M. The area of consideration is RESTRICTED to a 500-mile radius for each of the CBOC locations: JACC CBOC, 790 Veterans Way, Pensacola, Fl 32507; Eglin CBOC, 100 Veterans Way, Eglin Air Force Base, FL 32542; and Panama City CBOC, 2600 Veterans Way, Panama City Beach, FL 32408, in which either the A/E Firm s Primary or already established Auxiliary/Satellite Office must be located. Note: The 500-mile radius will be measured by one or more of the nationally recognized commercial free on-line mapping services from the Primary or already established Auxiliary/Satellite Office Address to each of the above CBOC addresses (shortest driving distance option). In-order to use the address of an already established Auxiliary/Satellite Office, the A/E Firm must have employees of their firm who are currently (before and at the time of SF330 submission) physically located at the Auxiliary/Satellite Office and are on the A/E s Payroll not employees of an actual or proposed subcontractor or on the payroll of an actual or proposed subcontractor. a. Contract Award Procedure: The proposed A/E services will be obtained by a Negotiated Firm-Fixed Price Contract. Interested parties shall ensure current Licensing and have a current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at https://sam.gov/ and the Vendor Information Pages database at http://www.va.gov/osdbu well as have submitted the current cycle VETS-4212 Report http://www.dol.gov/vets/vets4212.htm (for contracts in the amount of $150,000 or more). The SAM clause at FAR 52.204-7 changed effective (Oct 2018) and now requires that offerors be registered in the SAM database at the time an offer is submitted and at the time of contract award. According to FAR 52.204-7, registered means, among other things, that the record in SAM be marked as Active . Therefore, failure of a proposed SDVOSB to be registered at the time the SF 330 is submitted and at the time of contract award shall result in elimination from consideration as a proposed contractor. b. SDVOSB Requirements: In accordance with VA Notice of Total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside, a service disabled veteran-owned small business concern agrees that, in the performance of the contract, at least 50 percent of the amount paid by the government for contract performance will be to service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. c. Design Costs: All offerors are advised that in accordance with VAAR 836.606-73(a) the total cost of the architect or engineer services contracted for must not exceed 6 percent of the estimated cost of the construction project plus any fees for related services and activities. Additionally, FAR 52.236-22 Design Within Funding Limitations, will be applicable to this procurement action. Design limitation costs will be provided to the most highly qualified AE firm selected to complete the design. The total magnitude of construction (not design) for the three projects is between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. 2. SELECTION CRITERIA: Discussions with at least three of the most highly qualified firms will be held after the evaluation board s review of the information submitted in response to the selection criteria. The selection criteria for this acquisition are listed below: Note: Each Evaluation Factor below is to be specifically addressed not only through the submission of the SF330s but also in Narrative Format to clearly show how each Evaluation Factor is formally addressed.
