PROJECT INFORMATION: This project will design an addition of approximately 630 gross square meters (gsm) and an alteration of approximately 6172 gsm. This project will construct new medical clinic addition to provide office and exam space, alter existing clinic space to correct patient flow, provide treatment space and exam space, and construct addition to the dental clinic to add dental treatment rooms, instrument processing, supply, and locker space. Supporting facilities include water, sewer, natural gas, HVAC, electric service, security lighting, parking, storm drainage, communication and information systems, and general site improvements. Project will be designed in accordance with MIL-HDBK-1191, DoD Medical and Dental Treatment Facilities Design and Construction Criteria, Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), and Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility guidelines (ADAAG). The design will be prepared in the metric system of measurement. Construction cost estimates will be prepared on IBM-compatible personal computers using Corps of Engineers' Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (M-CACES) (software provided by Government) or similar software. Design drawings will be produced in a format fully compatible with Microstation 32 Version 4.0.3 or higher. The specifications will be produced in SPECSINTACT using Corps of Engineers Military Construction Guide Specifications. The responses to design review comments will be provided on Corps of Engineers Automated Review Management System (ARMS). Work may include asbestos and lead based paint abatement. The estimated construction cost of this project is more than ten million dollars. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for general selection process. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria ''a'' through ''e'' are primary. Criteria ''f'' through ''g'' are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers between technically equal firms. a. Specialized experience and technical competence of the firm and consultants in: (1) Design of additions and alterations to outpatient medical and dental facilities, (2) Life safety and fire protection design of medical facilities, (3) Knowledge of the locality of the project including geologic features, climatic conditions, and local construction methods, (4) Use of automated design systems described above (M-CACES GOLD, CADD, SPECSINTACT, and ARMS). b. Qualified professional personnel in the following key disciplines: project management, medical and dental facility planner, architecture, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, structural, civil, and communication engineering, cost estimating, certified industrial hygienist, medical equipment planning, interior design, operation and maintenance systems. Registered professionals are required in the following disciplines: architecture, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, structural, and civil engineering. The evaluation will consider education, training, registration, overall and relevant experience, and longevity with the firm. c. Experience producing quality designs based on an evaluation of a firm's design quality management plan (DQMP). The DQMP should include an organization chart and briefly address management approach, team organization, quality control procedures, cost control, value engineering, coordination of in-house disciplines and subcontractors, and prior experience of the prime firm and any significant consultants on similar projects. d. Past performance on DoD and other contracts with respect to quality of work, cost control, and compliance with performance schedules. e. Capacity to complete the concept design (35 percent) by Aug 97 and the final design by Aug 98. The evaluation will consider the experience of the firm and any consultants in similar size projects, and the availability of an adequate number of personnel in key disciplines. Firms are to disregard the ''to be utilized'' statement in block 4 of SF 255 and show the total number of personnel available in each discipline listed in item b. above. f.
