C -- ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES Due 030196. POC Gary Leong, 510/486-6743. The University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which is operated under Prime Contract DE-AC03-76SF00098 with the US Department of Energy (DOE), intends to subcontract for Electrical Engineering Services, on an indefinite quantity basis, to support LBNL's Facilities Department. This is not a request for quotation. It is an announcement for subcontracting opportunities with the University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is the intent of the LBNL to select three (3) Engineering firms and enter into subcontracts with each firm to perform electrical engineering services, on an indefinite quantity basis. The subcontracts will be for a one year period, with an option, at the sole discretion of the University, to extend for up to three additional one year periods. It is anticipated that one or more task assignments, of no guaranteed amount or duration, will be issued under the subcontracts for each year they are in effect. The tasks will be performed on a lump sum or hourly rate basis, and will vary in complexity and duration. The total dollar value of tasks issued for any one year under each subcontract will not exceed $100,000. Issuance of subcontract tasks will be contingent upon future receipt of federal funding. The University makes no guarantee as to the dollar value or number of task assignments to be authorized pursuant to the award of the subcontract. The engineering firm and its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be excluded in the award of any construction contract that is based on the engineer's design, reference FAR 36.209. Scope of Services: The Berkeley National Laboratory is a large diversified research facility consisting of over 80 buildings spread over 130 acres of hilly terrain. LBNL has need for electrical engineering services to support its general plant activities and projects. The work may include but is not limited to electrical system studies, conceptual design reports, cost estimates, value engineering, schematics, design development, construction documents, and construction services for the following areas: o Medium and low voltage power distribution, with SCADA monitoring o Fire alarm systems including a micro processor based proprietary loop fire alarm system that interfaces with a Pyrotronic control console in accordance with the LBNL furnished format. o Perform electrical system studies including but not limited to short circuit, protective relay coordination, steady and transient state voltage drop, transient/harmonic analysis, power factor correction, grounding step and touch potential using state of the art software(s), preferably Dapper and Captor. o Design equipment control schematics diagrams with interface to the Energy management system. Minimum Requirements: In order to qualify, candidates must meet the following minimum requirements: a. Location: The primary firm and all of its subconsultants (if any) must be located within fifty (50) air miles of Berkeley, California. b. Principal: The principal of the firm is required to be an electrical engineer registered in the State of California. The Principal will direct the work and is responsible for quality assurance. c. Documentation Compatibility: The primary firm and sub consultants must be able to generate, receive, or convert documents into Microsoft WORD, Microsoft EXCEL and AutoCAD (version 12) is preferred. Selection Criteria: For firms meeting the above minimum requirements, the following criteria shall be the basis of selection. The criteria are listed in descending order of importance. 1.

The overall experience and technical competence of the firm in comparable work. 3. Illustrate past performance with design schedules and budgets for all project's in similar scope and complexity within the last five (5) years. List projects comparing planned vs. actual schedules and budgets, include explanations for the changes. Past record in performing work for DOE, other government agencies, University of California, other universities, and private industry. 4. The ability of the primary firm to further the University's small business objectives by virtue of its size, and/or to further the University's disadvantaged or woman-owned business affirmative action objectives by virtue of its ownership. Small businesses are defined in accordance with the Small Business Administration's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), code 8711.
