Each contract's individual minimum guarantee is one task order worth at least $250,000. The maximum individual total contract value for each contract is either $40,000,000 or the cumulative value of all contracts awarded under this solicitation. Individual task orders will be awarded on the subjective determination of the Contracting Officer based on their ability to anticipate customer needs, past performance relative to cost, specific abilities, demonstrated performance and any other factors that the Contracting Officer believes relevant to the award of each new task order. PROJECT INFORMATION: The contract will include, but is not limited to designs and studies for all aspects of the Pentagon renovation and similar type work. Design will include (1) replacement of all building systems, telecommunications, and architectural features (2) interior and exterior historical features, along with surrounding areas (3) lead, asbestos, and other hazardous material abatement, (4) reconfiguration of space (space planning) (5) exterior repairs and landscaping (6) utility and support facilities and swing space relocation design and support activities, (7) utility facilities to include distribution networks. Tasks may consist of complete design, investigations, and construction phase services. Work may include updating prototypical building-wide systems such as HVAC, plumbing, exterior windows, electrical, security, and cable. Management support services may include design review, development of design and construction scheduling and budgeting, preparation and maintenance of as-built drawings on a CADD system, integration of information management technical services, planning of occupant relocation, construction phase services (Title II), preparation of environmental studies, preparation of operation and maintenance manuals for building systems, presentations to review and historical agencies assisting in public affairs and briefing/presentations to high level government and media organizations. The A-E firms selected shall provide all design products in electronic and hard copy formats. The A-E firms shall provide all preliminary, final design, modified and as-built products in Micro station 5.5 3D design file format (DGN). All elements of CADD electronic files must comply with the Pentagon Renovation CADD standards (an adaptation of the Tri-Service AE CADD Standards, produced by the Tri-Service CADD/GIS Technology Center). A-E firms are not required to design or draft using a specific CADD application. However, the A-E firms will be responsible for all digitizing and/or translation needed prior to delivering all CADD deliverables in required 3D (DGN) format. All translated CADD files shall preserve the accuracy, scale and integrity of the original CADD file documents with zero data loss. Furthermore, all translated files shall produce an exact reproduction of the original hard copy deliverables. The selected A-E firms will be provided with the Pentagon Renovation CADD Standards and will be required to show proof of compliance during one of the early CADD submissions. Drawings and specifications for the work will be prepared in metric. (Design and engineering computations may be prepared in English Units but final design and specifications for the work must be prepared in metric.) Selected firms (both prime and subs) will be required to use "US CITIZENS ONLY" on this project. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: Firms desiring consideration shall submit appropriate data as described in Numbered Notes 24 and 25.
