R -- PROJECT MANAGEMENT PARTNERING & NON-REACTOR NUCLEAR FACILITY ARCHITECT-ENGINEER SERVICES SOL C30110016-CL. Contact Point, Pat Osterburg, 505/665-2635. The Los Alamos National Laboratory, operated by the University of California for the Department of Energy (DOE), Los Alamos, New Mexico, hereinafter referred to as the ``Laboratory''. There are two major objectives to this initiative. One objective is to form a partnership for facility project delivery consisting primarily of personnel sharing/teaming in support of Laboratory project management. The project management partnering effort will result in project teams consisting of both laboratory and contractor personnel, teamed together to accomplish project objectives. The partnering initiative may involve all activities associated with facilities project delivery at the Laboratory. The second objective is to obtain design services for non-reactor nuclear facilities. The requested services will require the selected firm to provide all disciplines in order to assist the Laboratory in the management of projects and to perform engineering studies; conceptual designs; Titles I, II and III design services; project planning, scheduling and cost estimates; construction inspection; surveying; seismic analysis; value engineering (including cost benefit analysis and life cycle cost analysis); and other related engineering services. Some projects will involve retrofit design which requires field verification. Personnel from the selected organization shall be able to work closely with Laboratory personnel under budgetary and schedule constraints. The partner organization shall be flexible in its response to Laboratory and DOE requirements. Design and drawings formats, including CADD, will follow Laboratory standards and design documents will require professional stamps. In addition the partner organization shall comply with various DOE orders and requirements, including but not limited to, environmental, safety, health, security, quality assurance, OSHA regulations, etc. The Laboratory intends to award one cost type subcontract with incentive features under this solicitation. The subcontract to be awarded under this solicitation will be for an initial seven year period with options for three successive one-year subcontract extensions subject to (1) sustained subcontract performance by the subcontractor, as determined by the Laboratory; (2) the continued requirement for the services; (3) the availability of funds; and (4) the continuation of services at a fair and reasonable price. Task assignments of varying sizes are contemplated for the subcontract. This procurement is limited to organizations of at least 250 personnel of which at least 200 are design/engineering staff. The Laboratory anticipates a subcontract value based upon: a) a peak requirement of 50 people, minimum requirement of 5 people, and an estimated requirement average of 35 people assigned to the facility project delivery partnering initiative; and b) design of non-reactor nuclear facilities including the: Nuclear Materials Storage Facility, Title design services - Total project estimated cost is $45 M; Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building Confinement Zone, Title Design services, Total estimated project cost is $55 M; and Capability Maintenance and Improvements Project, Conceptual Design and Title Design Services - Total estimated project cost $300M; however, no warranty is made as to the total amount of services required and the Laboratory reserves the right to not issue any task assignments under the subcontract. Individual task proposals will be requested and negotiated for each nuclear facility design or consulting effort prior to notice to proceed of each task. Award fee/incentive fee performance measures will also be specifically negotiated for each task, the performance measures will be primarily based on meeting cost and schedule objectives. The selected organization will have or will establish an active office in Northern New Mexico. The organization will also have ``Q-cleared'' personnel to perform the subcontract requirements or have the ability to secure ``Q'' access authorization for its personnel assigned to this subcontract. The selected organization will be required to meet the requirements of the DOE's Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI).
