All hazardous materials licenses and/or accreditations necessary for the locality of the project site are required by the A/E firm or their subcontractor. Additionally, site improvements such as playing courts and tot lots will be required under the Neighborhoods of Excellence Program. The preparation of comprehensive stormwater management plans and erosion and sediment control plans for the state of Maryland may be required. Such services as studies, review of shop drawings, construction consultation, construction inspection, Title II, and preparation of construction record drawings and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) manuals may be required at any time up to the final acceptance of all work. The general intention is to provide for such design and engineering services as necessary to support the procurement of these projects. The selected A/E firm for this project will be required to provide overhead, profit, and discipline hourly rates initially to the Contracting Officer within 7 days after receiving the Request for Proposal. The selected firm will also be required to participate in an orientation and site visit meeting within seven days of notification and provide a fee proposal within 10 days after that meeting. This will be a firm fixed price A/E contract. The estimated design start date is February 1997. The final plans and specifications for the first construction contract are required 36 weeks after the project start. The estimated cost of construction for all the projects is between $10 and $15 million. Selection evaluation criteria, in relative order of importance are included below. 1. Specialized experience and professional qualifications of the architrctural/engineering firm (with its subcontractors), and the proposed project team in providing complete design and engineering services for the project requirements as described herein; 2. Demonstrated capabilities in sustained accomplishment of work within established time limits; 3. Past performance and process of the prime A/E firm (and subcontractors) in an internal quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) program to assure coordinated technically accurate studies and verification of costs, and accurate plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates; 4. The firm's and project team's present workload; 5. Perferences: a. Preference will be given to firms within a 100 mile radius of Engineering Field Activity Chesapeake, Washington Navy Yard and that have a knowledge of the general locality of the project, provided that application of the criterion leaves an appropriate number of highly qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project; b. Preference will be given to firms with the capability of using CAD, SPECSINTACT, and the Cost Engineering Systems (CES). Each firm's past performance(s) and performance ratings will be reviewed during the evaluation process and can affect the selection outcome. Firms which meet the requirements listed in this announcement are invited to submit one copy of each of the completed Standard Forms (SF) 254 and SF 255, U.S. Government Architect-Engineer Qualifications, to the office indicated below.

This is not a request for proposal. The selected firm may be subject to an advisory audit performed by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Because this contract acquisition could result in an award over $500,000.00, a subcontracting plan will be required by the selected firm if the firm is a large business concern. The small disadvantaged business set-aside goal in that subcontracting plan shall not be less than 5 percent of the subcontracted work. This does not apply if the prime firm is a small business concern.
