C -- DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PERMANENT OIL BOOM FOR NAVAL STATION AND SUBMARINE BASE PIERS SOL N62755-96-R-0974 DUE 110496 POC J. Shimoda, 808/474-1513/Contracting Officer, A. Yuen, 808/474-1513. This solicitation is for design and engineering services for installing permanent oil booms at Naval Station and Submarine Base Piers at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The work includes, but is not limited to, compliance with the latest technology and standards available in oil boom design (deployment, anchorage systems, etc.). Booms under wharves are required to allow ships/subs to be boomed off 360 degrees during fueling operations. Temporary oil boom installed around docked ships must be able to connect to this permanent boom. Some factors which need to be considered include, a) under wharf configuration, b) wharf conditions, c) utility lines located under wharf, d) type/quantity of boom, e) tidal fluctuations, and f) cost. These services generally will involve, but 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. Estimated construction cost of project is $1,000,000. Estimated design start date is February 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 installation of oil booms. 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 for 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 SB concerns interested in this solicitation should respond. A-E firms meeting 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 do the work and their location. Submit forms to this office by 2:00 p.m. HST on 4 November 1996.
