C -- RESTORATION OF LC-39 PAD B FIXED SERVICE STRUCTURE (FSS) ELEVATOR SYSTEM AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER SOL R-121 DUE 022495 POC Jan Pirkle, Contract Specialist, OP-ESO-A, 407-867-7230 N. Doris Roberson, Contracting Officer. Design and Professional Services Required for Restoration of LC-39 Pad B Fixed Service Structure (FSS) Elevator System at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida (R-121). 100 percent Small Business Set-Aside with subcontracting limitations in accordance with FAR 52.219-14. This synopsis specifies the Government's requirement, there is no separate solicitation package. No more than one copy of the A&E's response to this notice is required. An A&E firm will be selected to provide professional services and design for the restoration of the LC-39B FSS Elevator System (PCN 96564) to support Space Shuttle processing. The selected A&E Firm will develop a complete design package, provide studies and surveys, and provide other professional and incidental services for the project to refurbish two elevators on the Pad B FSS and install a wash-down system. The elevators are exposed to weather, and install a wash-down system. The elevators are exposed to weather, ocean spray, and Shuttle environments and shall be designed accordingly to withstand these environments. The design shall include but is not limited to replacing the structural supports, controls, motors, brakes, cars, doors, gears, push buttons, etc. as well ad adding a wash-down system that includes routing water to the elevator shaft and providing proper draining to clean the shaft of launch debris. At the discretion of the government, other professional services such as project management, technical assistance during the bid cycle, review of shop drawings, supervision/inspection of construction work, preparation of record drawings and activation engineering may be awarded to the selected A&E firm. The tasks for this project may consist of conducting field investigations, surveys (including asbestos, lead paint, PCB, etc.), analysis, calculations, preparations of applicable reports, development of a detailed design package, and engineering support during project construction. The design package shall consist of a detailed cost estimate, drawings, specifications an a data manual that consists of all data accumulated for the project in its design phase. The design activity will begin in fiscal year 1995 and shall be completed within a maximum of 180 days. The estimated construction cost range for the project is between one and one and a half million dollars. The selected A&E firm will develop a complete design package suitable for release as an IFB and will perform other design and construction related professional services as required for the project. The design will be evaluated for technical adequacy and approval by the Government. The selected A&E firm will develop a complete design package suitable for release as an IFB and will perform other design and construction related professional services as required for the project. The design will be evaluated for technical adequacy and approval by the Government. The selected A&E firm must have demonstrated recent experience and professional knowledge in similar types of designs and services. This experience will include the design of control systems using packaged systems proven in similar applications, design of structural supports using launch PAD conditions, and design of a water spray system. The A&E firm must demonstrate a working knowledge of all governing regulations, applicable codes, and standards and specifications as they relate to the nature of this work. This project will require multi-disciplined engineering skills for performance of the work. The A&E must have, as a minimum, the capability to provide experienced engineers in each of the following disciplines: two (2) structural engineers, one (1) civil/environmental engineer, two (2) mechanical engineers, one (1) architectural engineer, and two (2) electrical engineers. The following evaluation factors as in descending order of importance and will be used in the evaluation of all A&E submittals for this project. NASA will consider the immediate past 10 years as the period of time for evaluation under factors (1) and (2). 1. Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required. 2. Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. 3. Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required time. 4. Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. 5. Location of the essential staff for this project (or a commitment to locate) in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project, provided that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project. 6. Volume of work (A&E Fees) previously awarded to the firm by NASA during the last ten years with the object of effecting an equitable distribution of contracts among qualified architect and engineer firms, including minority-owned firms and firms that have not had prior NASA contracts. As a part of your submittal, provide in order of the above factors, a specific response to each factor. Specify A&E fees, if any, received by prime contract with NASA. A&E's responding to this notice should submit, along with the Standard Forms 254 and 255, if any additional information that they deem to be of benefit to their firm in the selection process. The proposed design team qualifications as they relate to the specialized experience and technical competence required for this project should be stated. SIC 8711 with a size standard of $20 million applies. The closing date for responding to this notice id close of business 2/24/95. Offerors are cautioned that submittals received after the specified closing date may be considered late--see not 24--all references in numbered Note 24 to the Department of Defense shall be changed to read National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Technical questions should be directed to Mr. R.A. Armstrong, Mail Code: DF-FSO, telephone 407-867-7517. Submittals should be made in writing to NASA, John F. Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899. Please reference R-121 in responding. See Numbered Note(s): 1, 24. (0024)
