This request is for A-E services resulting in the design for Rehabilitation of Fire Alarm Systems within various facilities. This project is proposed for development at John C. Stennis Space Center, Mississippi located approximately 55 miles northeast of New Orleans, Louisiana. Project work will include the development of specialized requirements for replacing existing fire alarm systems with state-of-the-art addressable systems. Project work will also include detector rezoning, fire wall integrity, fire door installation, and alarm zoning will be addressed in the design. The engineering firm will be required to submit drawings in AutoCADD release 12 format for review by the Government. Subject to the availability of funds and at the discretion of the Contracting Officer the Government reserves the option to negotiate services for additional facilities in separate phases. In addition, the engineering firm may also be required to provide limited Title II surveillance of construction activity. The NASA/SSC Architect-Engineer Selection Board will apply the following significant evaluation criteria in relative order of importance to determine the most qualified Architect-Engineering firm to provide the design services: A. NASA/SSC Center A/E Selection Board evaluation of overall merit of each participating firm. B. Recent specialized experience (within 10 years) and technical competence in work related to the following profile codes: 015, 023, 036, 043, 055, 061, 072, and 112. C. Past performance on similar contracts with NASA, other government agencies and private industries in terms of cost control, quality of work and compliance with performance schedules. A minimum of three (3) references are required. D. Professional qualifications and specialized experience of the staff and proposed consultants to be assigned to this project in relation to item B, above, and as deemed necessary for satisfactory performance of required services. E. Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) capabilities using AutoCADD release 12 on a personal computer PC based platform. F. Location in the general geographic area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project in terms of construction mterials and practices and local and national codes, laws and permits. G. Present workload and ability to accomplish the contemplated task within the specified time limit. The estimated total construction cost range for this project is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Fixed priced contracts are proposed for the design services, with the start dates to be determined and to be completed within 104 days thereof. Interested firms must submit a Standard form 255 (SF 255) which is postmarked no later than 30 days after the date of the notice to be considered for the selection. Section 8 of the SF 255 shall provide recent and relevant references including contact names and telephone numbers.
