C -- DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR VARIOUS MECHANICAL PROJECTS ON OAHU, HAWAII SOL N62755-96-C-0913 DUE 071796 POC I. Moon, (808) 474-1513; A. Yuen, Contracting Officer, (808) 474-1513. This solicitation is for design and engineering services for the preparation of construction drawings, specifications, and cost estimates for various mechanical projects. The project will primarily include, but are not limited to industrial utilities type work involving repairs and replacement of equipment and piping system on industrial type facilities and utility system such as saltwater, sewage treatment, compressed air, and steam. Projects may also include air conditioning, ventialtion, plumbing and fire protection. Projects may also involve various other disciplines. The contract scope may require evaluation and determination of the existence and extent of asbestos materials, toxic waste disposition and/or pollution control work. You must accept the aformentioned as part of your contract. The contract is an indefinite-quantity type contract. The Government will issue delivery orders for projects on an ''as-needed'' basis during the life of the contract providing the Government and Contractor agree on the amount. Determination of the delivery order amount will be by use of rates negotiated prior to contract award and the negotiated effort needed to perform the particular project. The delivery order may include an amount for post construction award services. These services generally will involve but are not limited to review of construction contractor submittals, preparation of as-built drawings, and office and site consultation services. We will normally not require post construction award services more than 18 months after completion of the design. The project scope(s) may require evaluation and definition of asbestos materials, toxic waste disposition and/or pollution control work. Firms must accept these requirements as a part of their contract responsibility. The contract requires that all construction contract specifications use the SPECINTACT system. Contract will require services of registered structural, mechanical, electrical, civil and fire protection engineers and SURVEY/SOILS SUBS. The contract shall not exceed 12 months or $250,000.00 total contract price, whichever comes first. The Government guarantees a minimum contract amount of $12,500.00. Should an impasse on price occur over the initial and subsequent projects, the Government will apply the dollar value of the government estimate for that project or projects towards the minimum guarantee. We may order a single project or group of projects under one delivery order. The total price of a delivery order with multiple projects will not exceed $250,000.00 including any options. The contract contains an option to extend the contract for an additional year. The same price and time restrictions of the base year apply to the option year. Should the Government exercise this option, the Government will issue a preliminary notice of its intent to extend before the contract expires. The Government reserves the right to modify projects incorporated into this contract beyond the expiration date of the contract as an in-scope change to the contract. If the Government requires the modification within one year after the contract expiration date, the Government will negotiate the effort required using the negotiated base or option year rates, whichever is most recent at the time. For modification of projects after one year from the contract expiration date, the Government will negotiate an equitable adjustment. The projects may require performance of services at a later date as a phase or option. We will use options to order additional services at a price agreed prior to the delivery order award. We will generally use phases when it is impractical to definitize the full scope of project requirements at the time of the delivery order award. We will definitize and negotiate a price for the phase at a later date and modify the delivery order by supplemental agreement. Estimated construction cost range of projects is $25,000.00 to $250,000.00. Estimated design start date is January 1997. We will use the following selection criteria, in relative order of importance, to evaluate and select qualified architect-engineer (A-E) firms. (1) Professional qualifications of firm and staff proposed for performance of required services. (2) Specialized recent experience and technical competence of firm or particular staff members in design of repairs and replacement of equipment and piping systems in industrial type facilities system such as saltwater, sewage treatment, compressed air, and steam. Submit a list of (3) references with phone numbers and person to contact. (3) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. (4) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. Discuss, a) the process for cost control and the key person responsible, b) the process for compliance with quality control and the key person responsible, c) the process for compliance with the performance schedule and the key person responsible, i.e., description of how work will be accomplished in the required time, including the composition of the team and availability of staff, and the A-E firm's design quality control practices/techniques. (5) Location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the projects, list projects completed in that geographical area and give particular conditions of that area, provided, that application of this criterion leaves an appropriated number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project. (6) Demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design. (7) The volume of work previously awarded to the firm by the Department of Defense during the previous 12 months shall also be considered, with the object of effecting an equitable distribution of Department of Defense A-E contracts among qualified A-E firms, including small and small disadvantaged business firms, and firms that have not had Department of Defense contracts. This prospective contract is a potential 100 percent set-aside from small business (SB) concerns. The small business size standard classification is SIC 8712 ($2.5 million in annual receipts). If the Government does not receive adequate interest from qualified SB concerns, this solicitation will automatically open to all firms regardless of size or concern without further notice. All concerns as well as the requirements described in this announcement must submit complete, updated Standard Forms 254, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire, and 255, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Project to the office shown above. A-E firms' subconsultants must also submit completed Standard Forms 254 and 255. Responding FIRMS SHALL SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS ALL OF the listed selection criteria so the Government can properly evaluate the qualifications of firms APPLYING. FAILURE TO ADDRESS ALL THE CRITERIA may be GROUNDS FOR NON-SELECTION. We need only one copy of all forms. Clearly show the office location where you will do the work and the experience of those that will dot he work and their location. Submit forms to this office by 2:00 p.m. HST on 17 July 1996.
