C -- RESTORATION OF LC-39 PAD A PAYLOAD CHANGEOUT ROOM (PCR) WALL AND CEILING INTEGRITY AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER SOL R-125 DUE 110395 POC Shelly Whittaker, Contract Specialist, OP-ESO-A, 407-867-7230 R. Clovin, Contracting Officer. Design and Professional Services Required for Restoration of LC-39 Pad A Payload Changeout Room (PCR) Wall and Ceiling Integrity at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida (R-125) This synopsis specifies the Government's requirement, there is no separate solicitation package. No more than one copy of the A&E's response to this notice is required. An A&E firm will be selected to provide professional services and design for the restoration of the LC-39 Pad A PCR wall and ceiling integrity (PCN 96357) to support Space Shuttle processing. The selected A&E Firm will develop a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), complete detail design package, provide studies and surveys, and provide other professional and incidental services for the project to restore the LC-39 Pad A PCR wall and ceiling integrity. The performance of the other professional and incidental services may include project and construction management support in all phases of the work throughout the design, procurement and construction. These tasks may include, but not be limited to, answering bidders questions, review of shop drawings, resolution of problems, providing inspection services in the post design phase, preparation of record drawings, preparation of operations/maintenance and system analysis documentation, and all necessary environmental permitting. The professional services for this project may consist of conducting field investigations, surveys (including asbestos, lead paint, PCB, etc.), analysis, calculations, preparations of applicable reports, development of a PER and detailed design package, and engineering support during project construction. The project shall include either the repair, partial replacement, or new PCR wall and ceiling panel system, illuminated access ways and power receptacles above the PCR ceiling assembly, repair/replacement/ elimination of deteriorating and leaking access doors, and modification of hoist machine room wall panels, equipment, and personnel access doors. The A&E shall provide the drawings, specifications, cost estimates, construction bar charts, project daa manual, and any other professional services necessary to implement the tasks proposed by the Study. The design activity will begin in fiscal year 1996 and shall be completed within a maximum of 180 days. The estimated construction cost range for this project is between two and five million dollars. The selected A&E firm must have demonstrated recent experience and professional knowledge in the types of systems design and services mentioned above as well as knowledge of applicable codes, standards and specifications as they relate to the subject project. The firm must also have experience working within the launch pad environment, schedule constraints, and windows of work opportunities. This project tasks will require multi-disciplined engineering skills for performance of the required work and the selected A&E will be required, as a minimum, to have on staff the experienced engineers in each of the following disciplines: one (1) civil engineer familiar with facility and utility site work design (including environmental engineering), two (2) structural engineers familiar with facility structural design, unconventional structural steel design and analysis, vibration analysis, and launch environment loading, one (1) architect familiar with facility mechanical design, and cleanrooms, and one (1) electrical engineer familiar with facility electrical AC power design. The selected A&E firm must also have on staff one (1) experienced cost estimator, as well as the dedicated management personnel necessary to perform in all areas of the work. The following evaluation factors are in descending order of importance and will be used in the evaluation of all A&E submittals for this project. NASA will consider the immediate past 10 years as the period of time for evaluation under factors (1) and (2). 1. Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required. 2. Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. 3. Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services. 4. Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. 5. Location of the essential staff for this project (or a commitment to locate) in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project, provided that application of this criterion leavs an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project. 6. Volume of work (A&E Fees) previously awarded to the firm by NASA during the last ten years with the object of effecting an equitable distribution of contracts among qualified architect and engineer firms, including minority-owned firms and firms that have not had prior NASA contracts. 7. Demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design. As a part of your submittal, provide in order of the above factors, a specific response to each factor. Specify A&E fees, if any, received by prime contract with NASA. A&E's responding to this notice should submit, along with the Standard Forms 254 and 255, any additional information that they deem to be of benefit to their firm in the selection process. The proposed design team qualifications as they relate to the specialized experience and technical competence required for this project should be stated. The closing date for responding to this notice is close of business 11/3/95. Offerors are cautioned that submittals received after the specified closing date may be considered late---see note 24---all references in numbered Note 24 to the Department of Defense shall be changed to read National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Technical questions should be directed to Mr. R. A. Armstrong, Mail Code, DF-FSO, telephone 407-867- 7517. Submittals should be made in writing to NASA, John F. Kennedy Space Center, Mail Code: OP-CIAO, Building N6-1009, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899. Please reference R-125 in responding. See Numbered Note(s): 24. (0269)
