C -- CIVIL ENGINEERING AND DESIGN SERVICES FOR PROJECT CP9650M ''REPAIR ANAEROBIC DIGESTERS'' SOL N62470-96-D-5895 DUE 083096 POC Marsha Temple, (919)466-4751 This solicitation is for a project specific civil engineering contract involving the condition evaluation and repair/upgrade design of a waste water treatment plant anaerobic digester system. This is NOT a request for proposals. The design contract will be of the firm-fixed price type. Engineering Services are required for preparation of plans, specifications, cost estimates, related studies, and all associated engineering services, shop drawing review, and Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) preparation (provides construction contract inspection requirements). Firms are required to prepare the cost estimate utilizing the computerized CES, the specifications in the SPECSINTACT system format, and all drawings shall be submitted in AUTOCAD compatible format. The anticipated design start date is October 1996. Estimated construction cost is $400,000. Specific expertise includes the detailed analysis of existing anaerobic digesters, their compatibility with other wastewater treatment systems, long term economical analysis of upgrade options, and consideration of current and proposed regulatory requirements. Project work may include field investigation, material sampling, laboratory analysis, interpretation of sampling results, an initial evaluation study report, a final design including preparation of plans, specifications, cost estimates, and post design review of construction shop drawings. The Environmental Affairs Department at Cherry Point has assigned this project an EPA Class II rating. Project may include taking part in negotiations with regulatory officials on behalf of the Air Station. Firms must be prepared to accept the aforementioned as a part of their contract responsibility. A preliminary Scope of Work is as follows: ''Investigate the three anaerobic digesters at the wastewater treatment plant at Cherry Point MCAS and prepare a firm-fixed-price construction contract including specifications and drawings for repairs, as needed. Preliminary indications are that repairs will include work necessary to clean the three anaerobic digesters, replace the hot water recirculation system, replace the gas collection system to include scrubbers and a co-generation unit, install day tanks, install a chemical feed system, provide new monitoring equipment, install Energy Monitoring and Control System, refurbish the digester lids, and repair the recirculation unit in digester #2, and complete all required testing. Existing anaerobic digesters do not meet design requirements for heating and sustaining sludge at thermophilic temperatures necessary for compliance with the 40 CFR 503 regulation. Other related design requirements may become apparent during the investigation phase and shall be included as necessary in total system design. Design considerations shall focus on system compatibility, functional use, low maintenance, ability to meet regulatory requirements, and compliance with health and safety standards.'' Firms which meet the requirements described in this announcement are required to submit one copy each of completed SF-254 and SF-255 forms. Copies of SF-254 forms are also required for proposed consultants and copies of SF-255 forms are encouraged for proposed consultants who are expected to contribute significantly to the contract. Inquiries shall refer to contract number and title. This proposed contract is being solicited on an unrestricted basis. The firm must demonstrate qualifications with respect to the evaluation factors stated herein. The A&E must demonstrate his and each key consultant's qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors for design and all option services. Evaluation factors (1) and (2) are of equal and greatest importance; factors (6), (7), and (8) are of lesser importance than factors (1) through (5). Pertinent statements relative to the evaluation factors shall be included in Part 10 of Form SF-255. Superfluous information is discouraged. Firms responding by 4:00 p.m. EST, 30 August 1996 will be considered. Late responses will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.215-10. Specific evaluation factors include: (1) Professional qualifications of the firm's proposed personnel and its consultants (if proposed), necessary for satisfactory performance of required services. Resumes shall be included only for key persons expected to perform work under this contract (number of resumes shall not exceed ten), shall show specific location of assigned office, shall only list work experience applicable to this contract, shall briefly describe anticipated role in performing contract work, and shall list specific training, certification and experience relative to anticipated contract project assignments. (2) Specialized recent experience of the firm (including consultants) and technical competence in the type of work required. Cite examples of prior work relationships with proposed consultants/associates. In Part 8 of SF-255 provide a synopsis of the scope of work, point of contact and telephone number for each project listed. Include only projects involving anaerobic digester designs. Specific projects listed shall include a cross reference to the names of persons identified in evaluation factor 1 and briefly describe their role in the project. Provide evidence that your firm is permitted by law to practice the profession of engineering in the State of residence, i.e., state registration number. (3) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. In a maximum of one page, provide a narrative and/or chart or graph showing the anticipated backlog of work over the next eight month period for key personnel proposed for use in this contract. Firms shall identify any major pending projects or organizational changes that could impact the ability to dedicate personnel and resources to this contract. Provide one page maximum for you and subconsultants that describes resources to this contract. Provide one page maximum for you and subconsultants that describes office automation support and systems and other supporting equipment (i.e., AUTOCAD, SPECSINTACT). (4) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of demonstrated compliance with performance schedules and evidence of demonstrated long term business relationships and repeat business with Government and private customers. Firms may submit letters of commendation received for the specific projects identified in Part 8 of SF-255. (5) Quality and cost control. Provide a one page maximum summary of how your firm approaches internal quality control and cost control processes and procedures. Identify how these will be maintained for all work by multiple offices and subconsultants. Provide an example of your quality control program in action. (6) Demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design. Relate to personnel proposed and example projects listed, if possible. (7) Geographical location of the firm (including consultants) and knowledge of the locality of the work area. State anticipated mode of transportation to be used from each office and estimate approximate mileage and typical response time. Application of this criterion is contingent upon receiving an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project. (8) The volume of work previously awarded to the firm by the Department of Defense (DOD) shall also be considered, with the object of effecting an equitable distribution of DOD architect-engineer contracts among qualified architect-engineer firms. Firms shall list contract titles and show the dates of award, maximum value of each contract, and the value awarded to date for DOD contracts that they have been awarded over the last twelve month period.
