C -- DESIGN OF A SYSTEM OF HYDRAULIC SCOUR JETS FOR THE MAGNETIC SILENCING FACILITY FOR THE U.S. NAVY SUBMARINE BASE AT KINGS BAY, GA POC Diane Hampton at 912/652-5512. 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: Savannah District intends to obtain Architect-Engineer services by sole source procurement for design of a system of hydraulic scour jets at a submarine magnetic silencing facility for the U.S. Navy at its Kings Bay, GA installation. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in November 1995 and completed in April 1996. The estimated construction cost range is $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: A-E Services include the design of a hydraulic scour jet array system to be installed at the base of the Magnetic Silencing Facility. The scour jet system will increase ebb tide velocities to reduce sediment accumulation within the facility. 3. If any capable design firms are identified they will be evaluated on the following basis - PRIMARY CRITERIA: See Note 24 for general process. The selection criteria in descending order of importance are: a. Specialized experience in the type of work described in Project Infromation. The estimates for this project shall be prepared using the latest Version of MCACES Gold Software. The software and User's Manual will be provided by the Savannah District free of charge to the successful A-E. The drawings will be prepared using graphics created via Microstation 32 or Micro/Station PC (4.0) and/or AutoCADD Version 11. All drawings delivered to the District that have been created using AutoCADD Version 11 must be translated to .dgn files. The Contractor shall possess the software to enable the full translation of drawing files from .dwg to .dgn and vice versa. Before final selection the preselected A-E's may be required to demonstrate the above compatibility by reproducing a Government supplied standard drawing and translating it to the Intergraph format stated above. The method of translation must be thoroughly described and documented in Block 10 of the SF 255 if the A-E does not have an Intergraph CADD System. The A-E selected will be required to submit a Design Quality Assurance Plan concurrently with their fee proposal. Information on what is to be contained in this plan will be furnished uponnotification of selection. Firms responding to this announcement are requested not to transmit this plan with their SF 255. b. Past performance on DoD and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. c. Capacity to accomplish the design in accordance with the required schedule (180 calendar days) and provide qualified professional personnel in the following disciplines: hydraulic, mechanical, electrical, civil and structural engineers. d. Professional qualifications of key managment and professional staff members. e. Knowledge of the locality as it pertains to coastal hydraulic conditions and vessel berthing facilities in the southeast. SECONDARY CRITERIA: f. Extent of participation of SB, SDB, WO, historically black colleges and university and minority institutions in the proposed contract team, measured by percentage of the estimated effort. g. Location of the firm in the general geographic area of the project. h. Volume of DoD contract awards in the last 12 months as described in Note 24. 4. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: See Note 24 for general submission requirements. Interested firms having the capabilities to perform this work must submit ONE copy of SF 255 (11/92 edition) for PRIME, and ONE copy of SF 254 (11/92 edition) for the prime firm and all consultants. Include the firm's ACASS number on the SF 255, Block 3b. For ACASS information, call 503/326-3459.
