architectural/engineering services primarily in support of clinics and
clinical support space located within the states noted above, all of
which are within the administrative jurisdiction of Engineering
Services - Dallas. The work will require basically architectural,
mechanical, electrical and estimator disciplines, but may also require
civil, structural, value engineering, geotechnical, environmental,
geothermal, industrial hygienist, fire safety, elevator, acoustical,
construction inspector, surveying and other disciplines with
specialized experience. The firms selected will primarily provide
design, construction management and inspection, and estimating
services, but may also be required to provide scope development,
planning, interior design, environmental and other studies related to
assigned projects, energy conservation analysis, problem analysis,
design review, consulting/design/construction management for elevator
work, geotechnical testing, energy management, quality control testing,
HVAC testing and balancing, asbestos and lead paint sampling/hazard
assessment/abatement design/air quality monitoring, boundary and
topographical surveying, and other architectural, engineering and
technical services. THESE ACQUISITIONS ARE SET-ASIDE UNDER THE BUY
INDIAN ACT FOR FIRMS THAT ARE 51 PERCENT INDIAN OWNED, CONTROLLED, AND
OPERATED. In accordance with the Public Health Service Acquisition
Regulation (PHSAR) Paragraph 380.503(E), under a 51 percent Buy Indian
Set-Aside, not more than 50 percent of the work to be performed under
a prime contract awarded pursuant to the Buy Indian Act shall be
subcontracted to other than Indian firms. For this purpose, the work to
be performed does not include the provision of materials, supplies, or
equipment. In order for an Indian firm to prove they meet the
qualifications requirement of the Buy Indian Set-Aside restrictions,
i.e., offerors who are currently certified by the IHS or the Bureau of
Indian Affairs (BIA) as an ``Indian Firm,'' they need to submit their
certification (Tribal Affiliation and Degree of Indian Blood) with
their SF 254/255. Offerors who are NOT currently certified by IHS or
BIA are required to submit proof of ownership and eligibility for
Indian preference under the ``Buy Indian Act.'' The estimated dollar
range for each construction project to be awarded under this
requirements-type contract is $25,000 to $500,000. Specific projects,
as they occur, will be accomplished by negotiation and issuance of
delivery orders. Overhead and discipline labor hourly rates for the
option years will be negotiated before the award of the contracts. The
evaluation factors for consideration for architects/engineering firms
and their consultants, in descending order of importance, with items
one and two being of equal point value, are: PROFESSIONAL
QUALIFICATIONS OF FIRM AND ALL CONSULTANTS - Professional
qualifications of principals and project managers; sufficient staff;
length of time principals and firm have been performing services and
length of time that the prime and consultants have worked together; (2)
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS OF THE PROPOSED KEY STAFF - Technical
skills, construction inspection skills, CADD capabilities, specific
clinic and support space experience; (3) LOCATION OF THE FIRMS AND
CONSULTANTS' OFFICES RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER AND TO THE PROJECT SITES -
Relative travel time and communication ability between prime firm and
consultants relative to each other and to the project locations;
knowledge of the locality of the project; (4) FIRM'S AND CONSULTANTS'
PAST PERFORMANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY CONTRACTS -
Presented proof of design abilities, estimating accuracy, project
management, scheduling, budgeting, value engineering, etc.; (5)
ANALYSIS OF CURRENT AND PROJECTED WORKLOAD - Demonstrated ability to
provide and devote a total team response to complete Clinical and
Support Space projects on schedule. Joint Ventures will be considered
providing the Indian firm is the managing entity and the Joint Venture
is at least 51 percent Indian owned, controlled and operated (must be
stated in the letter of interest). Firms that meet the requirements
described in this announcement are invited to submit (1) a letter of
interest (specifying the exact solicitation number(s) that they are
interested in) and the 51 percent Buy Indian Certification described
above; (2) a Standard Form 254, A/E and Related Services Questionnaire
