INFORMATION: A-E services are expected to be required for the design of
this type of project within the Omaha District. Services required may
include site investigations, studies, reports, concept design, final
design, and construction phase services. A separate firm-fixed-price
contract will be negotiated for each project. A list of at least three
most highly qualified firms will be ranked for order of negotiation
and award using the evaluation criteria listed below. When a directive
for the first project of this type is received, negotiation shall
begin with the top ranked firm. When a directive is received for a
subsequent project or if negotiations with a firm for a project are
unsucessful, negotiation shall begin with the next ranked firm. If the
list of ranked firms is exhausted, the negotiation cycle shall begin
again with the top ranked firm. Firms will be selected for this type
project from the list established under this solicitation for the next
12 months. No projects of this type are currently authorized for
design and funds are not presently available for any contracts (see FAR
52.232-18). The Omaha District may establish a design partnership for
any projects awarded under this solicitation. If a design partnership
is to be established, the A-E will attend a one-day partnering meeting
prior to negotiation to define Omaha District expectations of the A-E,
create a positive working atmosphere, encourage open communication and
identify common goals. Greater emphasis will also be placed on the
A-E's quality control proceedures. The District will not review Quality
into the design. The A-E selected for an individual project under this
solicitation must submit for approval a project-specific design
quality control plan as a condition of contract award. This plan is not
required with this submittal. If a large business is selected for a
project under this solicitation, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9
regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the
work it intends to contract. This plan is not required with this
submittal. The subcontracting goals for this contract are that a
minimum of 28% of the contractor's intended subcontract amount be
placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged
businesses (SDB), and 8% be placed with SDB. PROJECT INFORMATION:
