CONTRACT INFORMATION: A-E services are required for site investigation, planning, survey and geotechnical report (option), engineering studies, concept design, final design (option), and construction phase services (option) for the subject project. The design will be prepared in the metric system of measurement. Construction cost estimates will be prepared on IBM-compatible personal computers using Corps of Engineers' Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (M-CACES) (software provided by Government) or similar software. Design drawings will be produced in a format fully compatible with Microstation 32 Version 4.0.3 or higher. The specifications will be produced in SPECSINTACT using Corps of Engineers Military Construction Guide Specifications. The responses to design review comments will be provided on Corps of Engineers Automated Review Management System (ARMS). Construction Phase services may include preparation of operation and maintenance manuals and shop drawing approval. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for this acquisition is 8711. Small Business Size Standard is $2.5 million average annual earnings for the last three years. A firm-fixed-price contract will be negotiated. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in June 1996. 2.
