E-MAIL: Mark W. Manthey, mark.w.manthey@lerc.nasa.gov. NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC) in Cleveland, Ohio plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for firm-fixed proposals for the operation, repair, and maintenance of institutional facilities at this aeronautics and space research center. The proposed contract will be known as IFORM (previously titled only as MOC 2), and will have a maximum period of 5 years, including a 1-year base period and 4 additional 1-year options. Scheduled requirements under IFORM will include operation of heating plants, operation of the high-voltage electrical power distribution system, and performance of scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) and predictive testing and inspection (PT&I) on the following systems: life safety systems (including fire detection, alarm, and extinguishing equipment); high- and low-voltage electric power distribution systems; personnel and material handling systems (including cranes and elevators); heating plants; HVAC, Chilled Water, and Energy Management Control Systems; and Utility Distribution Systems (including water, sewage, air, and gas piping systems). Unscheduled requirements under IFORM will include the following: responding to routine and emergency service calls for all of the above systems as well as for general maintenance of dozens of buildings and structures; excavation, shoring, and repair thereof necessary to service systems covered under this contract; and remediation of hazardous waste spilled or generated as a result of other work performed under this contract. All of the above requirements are anticipated to be contracted for on a firm-fixed price basis. Additionally, IFORM will include specified methods and rates for pricing of fixed-price delivery orders to perform system modifications, minor improvements, replacement of obsolete equipment, and unscheduled maintenance or repair beyond the scope of a routine service call. IFORM will consolidate three existing contracts; NAS3-26673, "Facilities Operations and Repair Services" performed by ColeJon Mechanical Corporation, NAS3-27603 "Operation and Maintenance of the Steam Generating Plant" performed by Cleveland Telecommunications Corporation, and NAS3-27603, "High-Voltage Distribution System Services" performed by Phillips Electric Company. A draft RFP will be released on or about April 15 for industry comment on the clarity of the requirements, proposal preparation instructions, and evaluation criteria as well as on whether there are any unnecessary or inefficient requirements. The anticipated release date of the subsequent official RFP is on or about May 20, 1997 with an anticipated proposal due date of on or about July 22, 1997. A Pre-proposal conference, including tours of major IFORM facilities, is planned for June 19, 1997 at LeRC. Information about this conference will be included in the RFP. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. All responsible small business sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. The SIC Code for IFORM is 8744, which has an associated small business size standard of $20 million. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See Note "B". See Numbered Note 26.
