One contract will be for work primarily West of the Cascades, the second contract for work primarily East of the Cascades. Services will be required for architectural, landscaping, civil, mechanical, electrical and structural engineering, and may include geotechnical and surveying. Some asbestos and lead-based paint, and other hazardous- substance abatement work may be required; as well as construction support. The A-E will be required to prepare plans, specifications, design analyses, and cost estimates, as required, for a variety of demolition, maintenance, repair, alteration and new construction projects. Significant evaluation criteria in descending order of importance are: (1) Specialized experience and technical competence of the firm in types of work required, including knowledge of the locality of the work to be done. (2) Professional qualifications of firm's staff and consultants to be assigned to this project, which are necessary for satisfactory performance of required services. (3) Capacity of the team to accomplish multiple simultaneous Task Orders in the required time. (4) Past performance on DoD and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. NOTE: The following criteria are considered secondary factors and will only be used at Final Selection as tie-breakers. (5) Location of the firm in the general geographic area of the project. (6) Extent of participation of Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions in the proposed contract team, measured as a percentage of estimated effort. (7) Volume of DoD contract awards to the prime A-E in the last 12 months. A-E will be required to use MCACES for cost estimating on this project. The software will be furnished by the Corps of Engineers after contract award. Responding firms should indicate ability to access an electronic bulletin board and automated review management system (ARMS) via modem. The proposed procurement will result in two fixed-price contracts. Each contract will consist of one base period and two option periods, which shall not exceed one year each, for a total of three years for the entire contract. Task Orders of not-to-exceed $500,000 each will be issued as requirements arise. The contract amount shall not exceed $1 million for each period, or a cumulative total of $3 million for the entire contract. The Government may exercise a contract option before expiration of the base contract period (or preceding option period), if the contract amount for the base period (or preceding option period) has been exhausted or nearly exhausted. Design start and completion dates are scheduled for October 1997 and October 1999, respectively. Qualified firms desiring consideration shall submit one copy of SF 255, including organizational chart of key personnel to be assigned to this project, current SF 254, and consultant's current SF 254s. No additional project information will be given to A-E firms. Phone calls are discouraged unless absolutely necessary.

It is anticipated that the selected firm will be required to submit a subcontracting plan with its fee proposal if it is a large business. For this procurement, a large business is a concern for which the annual average gross revenue taken for the last three (3) fiscal years exceeds $2.5 million. The plan must be consistent with Section 806(b) of PL100-180, PL 95-507 and PL 99-661. If a large firm chooses to subcontract, it is recommended that 50 percent of the total planned subcontracting dollars should be placed with Small Business (SB) concerns. Of that 50 percent, 8 percent should be placed with Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB), or Historically Black Colleges and Universities or Minority Institutions, and 5 percent with Women-Owned Businesses (WOSB). WOSBs may not qualify as SDBs for federal contracts. This project is open to both large and small businesses. Standard Industrial Classification Code 8712. This is not a request for proposal. (0115)
