Firm-Fixed Price/Indefinite Quantity Architectural-Engineering Services are required for feasibility and concept studies, preparation of architectural and engineering documents and reports for accomplishment of designs, plans, specifications and cost estimates for electrical engineering projects with associated architectural, mechanical, civil, structural, environmental, landscaping and incidental related work. The general intent of the typical projects includes but is not limited to designs and/or studies for power distribution systems, transmission lines, substations, power generation, lighting, telephone systems (outside plant, including both fiber optic and copper conductors) and computerized control and protection systems. A representative project may include, but not be limited to, replacing existing overhead 3-phase electrical distribution lines with an underground duct system, incorporating energy efficient street lights and evaluating the need for an additional substation. A project may need replacement of diesel generators with natural gas fuel and reevaluation of the new power needs of the the sewer plant. A project may require installing fiber optic cable from a main telephone facility to an outlying telephone facility via a combination of direct buried and conduit/manhole installation. Additional work includes security systems, fire protection and fire alarm systems for buildings and other incidental work as required. The type of project facilities may include, but not be limited to the following: administrative facilities and service buildings, chapels, divisional headquarters, auditoriums, audiovisual facilities, educational buildings, industrial buildings, warehouses, sewer plants, gas stations, residential buildings and other similar structures. This contract requires the use of SPECSINTACT software for preparation of the contract specifications and CADD Standards and Procedures. This contract also requires the ability to coordinate various associated engineering disciplines and the different aspects of construction phasing as well as the ability to provide cost estimates in two categories (repairs and new construction) with appropriate notes identifying each construction task by section for the purpose of obtaining a bid for each category (repairs and new construction). The term of the contract will be 365 days from the date of contract award or until the $500,000.00 limit is reached. The Delivery Order limitation is $200,000.00. The proposed contract includes a Government option for the same term and conditions of the original contract for an additional 365 days.

The estimated start date is November 1997. A/E selection criteria are listed in descending order of importance as follows: (1) Recent specialized experience and technical competence of the firm (including consultants) in electrical power distribution and generation systems, substations, exterior and interior lighting, communication systems, energy consumption management and energy efficient systems, security systems, fire alarm systems, electrical and electronic control systems. The design of the electrical power distribution system shall include, but not be limited to, field investigation of existing power sytems, voltage drop calculations, short circuit calculations, power single line diagrams, plans and specifications, cost estimates, technical and economic calculations and analysis. (2) Professional qualifications of the staff necessary for satisfactory performance of required services as stated in criterion 1. The Project Manager shall be an in-house Registered Electrical Engineer. (Indicate which consultants from the proposed team, if any, participated in the services for plans and specification preparation of each design project listed in Block 8.
