The new users will be the 170 people of the Defense Automated Answering System Center (DAASC), which is relocating from another facility in Dayton that is being closed. Survey of asbestos, lead paint and PCB is being performed by the Corps for the A/E to prepare abatement documents for inclusion in the project. DAASC will design and procure the furniture and workstations, the layout of which must be included by the A/E in the project plans. The design work includes code upgrades, space planning, new stairs and elevator, enlarged and new toilets, electrical upgrade, communications wiring, and adaption/extension of existing sprinkler and HVAC systems. In addition, the work includes the design of a large new computer room to receive relocated main-frame equipment, with raised floor, control room, HVAC, 400KVA UPS and emergency generator. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: Submittals will be evaluated against the general evaluation factors listed in Note 24 in descending order of importance. Additional specific evaluation criteria is provided as follows. Experience in the design of computer rooms and backup systems, and in the rehab of buildings for open offices, will be significant selection criteria and must be indicated in the SF255. Design and/or review of design by experienced professionals in the fields of civil, structural, architectural, life-safety and fire-protection, mechanical and electrical is required and must be indicated by resumes in the SF 255. Firms should indicate two architects or engineers in each field; at least one must be a registered professional. The life safety / fire protection person should be a professional with specialized training and experience in this area. Drawings must be done in metric units, with the final design submitted as Intergraph Microstation plots and files on 3.5 inch diskettes. Corps of Engineer Guide Specs (CEGS) must be used, and the use of the SPECSINTACT system is encouraged for editing CEGS. Construction cost estimating shall be done with Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (M-CACES) software provided by the Corps. Partnering for design and construction may be used, and firms should indicate experience in Partnering and their interest in Partnering for this project. Each SF 255 must include a description of a formalized Quality Control (QC) Plan relating to design and specifically tailored to this work. The QC Plan will explain how the firm and all subconsultants will produce a quality design which is free of errors and omissions. The QC Plan will be considered as part of the evaluation factor relating to past performance. 4. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: a. See Note 24 for general submission requirements.
