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 projects involving all aspects of various structural engineering services, including repairs of existing facilities and/or construction of new facilities, with associated land surveying, civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, environmental, landscaping, subsurface soil investigation and incidental related work. The general intent of a typical project includes but is not limited to: analysis and/or design of structural systems including but not limited to building superstructures, bridges, retaining walls, drainage structures, transmission towers, vehicle maintenance structures, equipment support and storage structures, ammunition bunkers, training facilities (rappel towers, diving towers, and etc.); seismic strengthening and upgrading of existing structures to current building codes requirements; performance of load tests to determine loading capabilities of structural systems and/or members; repair of bridges and river crossings, including foundations, upper decks, abutments and piers, temporary river crossing structures; and performance of associated surveying (including the use of Global Positioning System (GPS)), civil, architectural, landscape, mechanical, electrical, subsurface soil investigation and environmental work (including testing). This contract requires the use of SPECSINTACT software for preparation of the contract specifications and CADD Standards and Procedures. Additionally, an Electronic Bid Set (EBS) on Compact Disk (CD-ROM) will be required at the 100% and Final submittals. The Government will furnish an example EBS CD-ROM from a previous project to emulate. Contract drawings will either be scanned or plotted to the CALS file format. The project CALS files will then be indexed using Dataware Electronics public domain SVReader software. Contract Specifications will be printed to the PDF file format utilizing Adobe Acrobat Exchange version 3.0. Individual PDF files will be produced for each Specification Division and will then be "bookmarked" to the first page of each section. An "Entire Specification" PDF file will then be assembled and the table of contents "linked" to each division's and section's first page. 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). Projects may also require the testing, identification and removal of asbestos, contaminated paint and PCB oil including reports and cost estimates for the removal and disposal of these contaminated materials. The term ofthe contract will be 365 days from the date of contract award or until the $250,000.00 limit is reached. The Delivery Order limitation is $120,000.00. The proposed contract includes a Government option for the same term and conditions of the original contract for an additional 365 days. If the Government exercises the option to extend, the total amount of the contract shall not exceed $500,000.00. The guaranteed minimum contract amount is $12,500.00. The estimated start date is April 1998. 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 the design of building superstructures, substructures, bridges, transmission towers, vehicle maintenance structures, equipment support structures, storage structures, ammunition bunkers, training facilities (rappel towers, diving towers, and etc.), seismic strengthening and upgrading of existing structures to current building code requirements and load tests to determine loading capabilities of structural systems and/or members. (2) Professional qualifications of the staff necessary for satisfactory performance of required services as stated in criterion 1. The Project Manager and the Project Engineer shall be in-house licensed Structural Engineers. (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.

(NOTE: Specific examples must be cited in Block 10 of the SF 255. List Recent awards, commendations, and other performance evaluations. Do not submit copies.) (5) Location of the firm in the general area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project, provided that this criteria leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the size and nature of the contract.
