C -- UPGRADE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEMS AT POPE AFB, NC AND LANGLEY AFB, VA. SOL DACA21 POC Craig Harrell at 912/652-5150. 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: The Savannah District Corps of Engineers requires Architect-Engineer services for all field investigation, necessary engineering studies, preliminary and final design (option) submittals, and construction phase services for upgrades and repairs of sanitary sewer systems at Pope Air Force Base, NC and Langley Air Force Base, VA. This announcement is open to all firms regardless of size. A firm fixed-price contract will be negotiated. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in March 1996 and design complete by Sept. 30, 1996. **** 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: These projects are for the purpose of correcting waste water discharge conditions not in compliance with the Clean Water Act. The project at Langley AFB, VA requires the design of repair/replacement of approximately 4,200(1,280 LM) linear feet of existing sanitary lines, slip sanitary sewer lines approximately 12,500(3,810 LM) linear feet; repairs to approximately 209 manholes; inflow rehabilitation including elimination of cross-connections at approximately 40 individual locations. This project includes pavement repairs to roads, parking lots and sidewalks, dewatering, shoring, and all necessary support work. The estimated construction cost for this project is also $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. The project at Pope AFB, NC requires the design of repairs of approximately 12,000(3,450 LM) linear feet of sanitary sewer lines; repair or replace approximately 175 manholes; and repairs/upgrades to approximately 12 sewage lift stations. This project also includes pavement repairs to roads, parking lots and sidewalks, dewatering, shoring and all necessary support work. The estimated construction cost for this project is also $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. **** 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for general selection process. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criteria and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-e are primary. Criteria f-g are secondary and will only be used as ''tie-breakers'' among technically equal firms **** a. Specialized experience and technical competence in: 1). Design of repairs, upgrades, and installation of sanitary sewage tranfer system and associated repairs. 2). Experience with design requirements in the states of Virginia and North Carolina. 3). Computer-aided construction cost estimating using Corps of Engineers M-CACES-Gold Software. 4). use of computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) system fully compatible with Intergraph Microstation(.DGN format). 5). Experience with design using standard metric dimensioning. 6).The estimates for this project shall be prepared using the latest version of M-CACES Gold Software. The software and User's Manual will be provided by the Savannah District free of charge to the successful A-E. 7). 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 Firm 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 furniched upon notification 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 work in the stated contract period and to dedicate at least two (2) civil engineers and one (1) electrical, structural, mechanical engineers and one (1) topo survey view, landscape architect and industrial hygienist. **** d. Professional qualifications of key management and professional staff members. **** e. Knowledge of the locality as it pertains to design and construction methods used for large sanitary sewer systems with erosion control requirements in the geographic area of this project. **** SECONDARY CRITERIA: **** f. Extent participation of SB, SDB, historically black collees and university and minority institutions in the proposed contract team, measured by percentage of the estimated effort. **** g. 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 (1) copy of SF 255 (11/92 edition) for PRIME and ONE (1) copy of SF 254 (11/92 edition) for PRIME and ALL CONSULTANTS, to the above address by 26 Jan 1996 to be considered for this selection. **** INCLUDE the firm's ACASS number on the SF 255, Block 3b. For ACASS information, call 503/326-3459. **** DEPTH of PRIME and SUBCONTRACTOR personnel in EACH discipline must be SHOWN in Block 4 of SF 255 and SF 254 to CLEARLY identify the NUMBER of PERSONNEL in each firm and DISCIPLINE. **** COVER leters and extraneous materials are NOT desired and WILL NOT be considered. **** PHONE calls are DISCOURAGED unless absolutely NECESSARY. **** PERSONAL visits for the PURPOSE of DISCUSSING this ANNOUNCEMENT will NOT be SCHEDULED. **** THIS is NOT a REQUEST for a PROPOSAL.
