C -- ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN OF THE PROCESSING AND ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY (PETL), LOCATED AT SANDIA NATIONAL LABORATORIES, NEW MEXICO SOL AQ-1486 DUE 072195. Contact Al Lucero, (505) 844-0419, Sandia Contracting Representative. Processing and Environmental Technology Laboratory (PETL). Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico (SNL/NM) intends to contract for Architect-Engineering (A-E) services, subject to the availability of funds, to provide pre-design services, to include review of existing conceptual documentation and preparation of project design criteria, with the option to prepare the design (Titles I, II, and III) for the PETL. This facility will focus research, development and production support activities required to address environmental, safety, and health issues in the nuclear weapon production complex and at SNL. The facilty will collocate activities dealing with materials and processes research, materials support for stockpile surveillance, analytical support for production of non-nuclear components, and maintenance and dismantlement of weapons. Qualified firms shall have demonstrated experience with: energy efficient design, structural design for vibration-sensitive equipment, the DOE order for design for natural phenomenon hazards, chemical/physical laboratories, chemical storage, sophisticated energy management control systems (EMCS) (full direct digital control), and corporate standard communications and security alarm systems. A mandatory requirement for this project is that the contractor have the proven capability of preparing CADD files in Intergraph Microstation v. 4.0 or later and Project Architect v. 4.1.2 or later. The building will be a multi-story facility with an estimated floor area between 100,000 and 200,000 gross square feet. The estimated cost for construction of the PETL is between $20 and $25 million. A firm fixed price A-E services contract is anticipated. The project design is estimated to be approximately 5% civil, 25% architectural, 20% structural, 25% mechanical, 20% electrical, and 5% EMCS. All interested firms should submit a letter of interest together with seven (7) copies of a proposal, including standard forms SF254 and SF255, within 30 days of this notice. The technical proposals will be evaluated and scored by a committee of Sandia personnel based on the following specific criteria which indicates the maximum number of points to be awarded for each item. The maximum total available number of points is 1000. 1) Technical ability and relative experience of the Project Design Team, including Project Manager (100 points); 2) Lead Civil Engineer/Civil Team (25 points); 3) Lead Architect/Architectural Team (100 points); 4) Lead Structural Engineer/Structural Team (75 points); 5) Lead Mechanical Engineer/Mechanical Team (150 points); 6) Lead Electrical Engineer/Electrical Team (150 points); 7) Team organization and roles and responsibilities of key personnel (50 points); 8) CADD capabilities and experience of the firm and all subcontractors with the noted software with projects of similar size, magnitude, and complexity (100 points); 9) Quality practices and quality assurance procedures (50 points); 10) Facility programming, end-user requirements and building systems definition procedures (150 points); 11) Schedule and cost control procedures (50 points). All responses must be submitted in writing. No telephone responses will be accepted. Responses and inquiries should be directed to: Sandia National Laboratories, Attn: Al Lucero, MS 0222, P.O. Box 5800, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185-0222. (172)
