Firms with more than one office should indicate on the SF 255 the office out of which the work will be performed and the staffing composition of that office. The Government may place delivery orders for the development of project books/statements of work under this contract. The A-E firm awarded the contract for this Indefinite Delivery Contract will be ineligible to prepare both the project books/statements of work and the design services for those follow-on projects. If a Large Business concern is awarded this contract a subcontracting plan will be required in accordance with FAR 19.7. Prospective A-E firms will be evaluated on the relative order of importance as listed below: (1) Professional Qualifications: The project team should include the following disciplines: Architectural, Civil, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical. Also, other beneficial disciplines include Environmental, Interior Design, Acoustical, Landscape, etc. The make-up of the proposed design team, to include outside consulting firms, will be evaluated. The qualifications and experience of the team members will be evaluated. Therefore, the anticipated design team should be identified. (2) Specialized Experience: The nature of the contract is such that experience in designing/renovating military type facilities is highly desired. Therefore, experience and technical competence in designing these types of projects and preparation of project documents should be indicated. (3) Capacity To Develop Projects Within Time Limits: The general capabilities of the firm to develop the design and prepare the project documents within the time limits set by the Government will be examined. The time limit for each delivery order negotiated under this IDIQ contract will be negotiated separately for each delivery order. Prospective A-E firms should demonstrate their capability and performance for on-time delivery of their designs. (4) Past Performance: The history of performance by the firm on projects for Government (Federal, State and Local) agencies and some private concerns will be examined. Areas such as work load, quality of work (project documents and function), and compliance with performance schedules (meet submittal dates) will be examined. (5) Location of A-E Firms: The prime firm and major consultants such as electrical, mechanical, structural and geotechnical should be located within a 30 mile radius of Memphis International Airport. Specialized consultants not having a major impact on design or on construction management need not fall within this criteria. However, consultants such as cost estimating/control, and acoustics, must have a thorough knowledge of local conditions affecting their respective disciplines. (6) Waste Reduction And Energy Efficiency: Demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design.
