C -- A/E SERVICES FOR FACILITIES SURVEY OF EXISTING STRUCTURES AT NAVAL BASE NORFOLK AND OTHER INSTALLATIONS IN SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA Sol. N00187-95-R-7523. Contact Mr. Robert A. Lemon, P.E., Contracting Officer, 804/445-2752. Services are required for the collection of various facility data and tenant utility usage to be input into the Computerized Utility Billing Integrated Control (CUBIC) System. CUBIC is a computer based system to allocate total utility usage/cost on a complex to individual tenants (users) in a more accurate and timely manner than the manual method currently being used. To make usage allocations, CUBIC utilizes data from a detailed field survey of all facilities (buildings and structures) on a complex, each tenants estimated use of utilities, weather conditions and total complex usage. CUBIC was developed using MicroRim's R-Base. Utility refers to electric, steam, water, sanitary sewage, and industrial waste. Complex refers to the various installations requiring data to be gathered, i.e. Naval Base, Norfolk; Naval Air Station, Norfolk; Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth; Fleet Combat Training Center Dam Neck, Virginia Beach, etc. There are approximately 16 various complexes involved in this contract. There are approximately 4,200 facilities having an estimated 42,000,000 square feet of area which would require that the following be acomplished, using field surveys and existing documentation: (a) Gather data on all facilities at each complex that consumes any type of utility. (b) Prepare facility sketch showing dimensions, tenant arrangement, size and location of utility entrance(s), and detailed diagram of each type utility entrance, using AuotCAD Release 12 or later. (c) Determine facility industrial usage, i.e. usage of utilities by type for common facility equipment and systems such as elevators, exhaust systems, etc. (d) Gather meter data for all existing utility meters. (e) Gather tenant and use area data for each different tenant and each different use area in each facility. (f) Gather tenant industrial usage, i.e. usage of utilities by type for tenant specific equipment amd systems. (g) Prepare distribution drawings showing the relationship of all meters and facilitis, metered and unmeterd, in an area for each type of utility, using AutoCAD. Provide hard copies of all data and drawings, and floppy disks (3.5 DS HD) of data in CUBIC data base. The complexes are within a 30 mile radius of Naval Base Norfolk. Training will be provided by the Government regarding the input of the data into the CUBIC database. The selected firm must demonstrate qualifications (with respect to the evaluation factors stated herein) and sources to gather the required data, prepare the necessary drawings/sketches and to input the data into the database, all within a nine (9) month timeframe after award. The Government's Quality Assurance will consist of a field check of a random sample of data as submitted. Acceptance or rejection of submitted data will be based on the number of errors identified by this field check. The following evaluation factors are pertinent to this contract. Factors (1) through (5) are of equal importance, Factors (6), (7) and (8) are of lesser importance, but will be used to assist in the selection, especially should one or more firms be essentially equally qualified for Factors (1) through (5). Evaluation factors are: (1) Professinal qualifications and technically competence of the project team: Evaluation will be made in terms of: (a) Project teams (includes any consultants) experience in gathering field data, preparing drawings/sketches using AutoCad and working with a database program similar to CUBIC writren in R-Base (include experience with current firm or experience with other firms provided it is relevant) (be specific, give examples, dates and size of relevant project experience). (b) Project teams knowledge of the general area of Hampton Roads in terms of codes, laws, permit requirements, topography and geographical relationship of each complex.

Provide a project execution plan showing how many teams you will provide and how they will be assigned to the 16 complexes to gather the required data from the 4,200 facilities in the timeframe required, and then input the data into the CUBIC database. (4) Past Performance: Firms will be evaluated in terms of: (a) Demonstrate long term relationships and repeat business with Government and private customers. (b) Performance awards received. (5) Quality Control Program: Firms will be evaluated on the acceptability of their quality control program used to ensure technical accuracy and discipline coordination of various work elements of this contract.
