C -- A/E SERVICES FOR DESIGN OF CHEMICAL DEMILITARIZATION AND SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITIES AT BLUEGRASS ARMY DEPOT, RICHMOND, KY POC Contact Mrs. Mary A. Raymundo (502)582-6352 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: The proposed services will be obtained by a negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contract. The award of the contract will be between October and December 1995. The estimated construction cost is between $10 and $20 million. A-E services may include site investigation, engineering studies, concept design, and final design. It is our intent to enter into a Partnering Agreement on this project. This could require the selected A/E to attend a one-day partnering meeting to define the District's expectations of the A/E, create a positive working atmosphere, encourage open communications, and identify common goals. Great emphasis will also be placed on the A/E's quality control procedures, as the District will not review quality into the project. The A/E selected for this project will be required to submit a project-specific design quality control plan for approval as a condition of contract award. This plan is not required with this initial submittal. Construction cost estimating must be accomplished using the Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (M-CACES) software (software and database will be furnished). Specifications must be electronically developed using Corps of Engineers Guide Specifications (CEGS). Drawing development maybe by any CADD system but submittals must be in accurately-translated Intergraph Microstation format unless otherwise specified. Before award of this contract, the firm (if a large business concern) shall be required to present an acceptable Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with Public Law 95-507. To meet the current subcontracting goals, 69% of the total subcontracted dollars must go to small business firms, 6.3% must go to small disadvantaged business firms, and 2.9% must go to woman-owned firms. The plan is not required with this submittal. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Activities such as preparation of plans, specifications, construction cost estimates, technical studies, hazardous material surveys and analysis and abatement methodology in the support of design of Chemical Demilitarization and Sewage Treatment Facilities will be required. This project may involve complete building design, communications, fencing, acoustic separation, security systems, energy monitoring and control systems, wet pipe fire protection systems, construction of flammable and hazardous materials storage areas, bridge crane systems, site surveying, access roads, general site grading, all utilities, electrical and mechanical systems, corrosion control, life safety code (NFPA), HVAC systems and controls, and connection to installation fire alarm systems. Asbestos, lead paint, and PCB investigations may also be required. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for general selection process. The selection criteria in descending order of importance are listed below. Criteria a-d are primary and e-g are secondary: a.
