C -- DESIGN RESCUE SQUADRON BEDDOWN FACILITIES, MOODY AFB, GA POC Mr. Robert A. Smith at 912/652-5706. 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: A-E services are required for site investigation, planning engineering studies and preparation of Customer Concept Design(CCD's) which are approximately 15% concept designs, final design(option) and construction related services. This will be a firm fixed price contract. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in May 1996 with CCD's to be completed by August 1996. The Final(option) will be approximately 180 calendar days in length. The estimated construction cost range is $10,000,000 to $20,000,000. This announcement is open to all firms regardless of size. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: A-E services are required to prepare CCD's for five Rescue Squadron Facilities at Moody AFB, Ga. The bldgs are two(2) Squadron Operations Facilities, a C-130 Maintenance Hangar and two(2) Storage Igloos. 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 Auto CADD version 11. All drawing files 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 demonstrated 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 will be required to submit a Design Quality Assurance Plan concurrently with their fee proposal.
