COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF DECEMBER 18,1997 PSA#1995MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF PRECISION MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT LABORATORY
FOR EG&G MANAGEMENT SERVICES OF SAN ANTONIO (MSSA), INC. MANAGEMENT
AND OPERATION OF PRECISION MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT LABORATORY FOR EG&G
MANAGEMENT SERVICES OF SAN ANTONIO (MSSA), INC. EG&G is a global
technology company, providing complete systems, components and skilled
support services to government and industrial customers. Our wholly
owned subsidiary, MSSA is the support contractor for the Greater Kelly
Development Corporation (GK DC), a public, not-for-profit corporation
created by the city of San Antonio. GKDC is the federally recognized
Local Redevelopment Authority with responsibility to plan for the
smooth transition of Kelly Air Force Base work from the government to
industry . A major element of this charter is the commercialization of
the work performed by the San Antonio Air Logistics Center (SA-ALC),
which is the largest mission at Kelly Air Force Base. SA-ALC currently
operates a Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL), which
provides calibration and necessary minor repair services for test,
measurement, and diagnostic equipment for a variety of Kelly AFB
customers. In its supporting role to GKDC, EG&G MSSA, Inc., is
competitively soliciting the services of a su bcontractor to operate
the PMEL. We anticipate that the majority of the equipment that is
currently available in the PMEL will be conveyed to GKDC and GKDC will
lease the equipment to the subcontractor at no cost; however, it will
be the subcontractor's r esponsibility to maintain the equipment and
replace it as needed. The PMEL facility will be leased to the
subcontractor at a rate that is comparable to current market rates for
a similar commercial facility. The ensuing Request for Proposals (RFP)
will co ntain sufficient details about the equipment and the facility
to permit potential offerors to price the work. During FY 1996 the PMEL
performed approximately 20,000 calibrations for SA-ALC. For the first
two quarters of FY 1997 the PMEL performed approxim ately 10,000
calibrations for SA-ALC. The hours associated with this workload were
approximately 41,000 and 20,000 respectively. The work to be
subcontracted is that pertaining to SA-ALC and not that of Kelly Air
Force Base tenant activities. The governme nt anticipates issuing
Blanket Purchase Agreements to the qualified offerors in addition to
the selected bidder to procure the work related to the tenant
activities and the other PMEL customers not covered by this RFP.
Bidders are cautioned that this work load data, and the more detailed
workload data that will be furnished in the RFP, should not be
considered as a guarantee of workload that will continue after contract
award. The civil service workforce that is operating the laboratory
will be receiving R eduction-in-Force notices in accordance with
government regulations. The government does not mandate providing these
employees with a right of first refusal. However, EG&G requires that
those employees who are not reassigned into other civil service
positions, and are displaced by this realignment, shall be given the
right of first refusal for those positions for which they qualify. GKDC
is planning a Workforce Information Day during the week of January 12,
1998. Firms interested in proposing may attend in order to provide
information and answer questions of the workers. A tour of the PMEL
will also be conducted during that day. Firms interested in attending
should request an invitation by writing to MS. Annette Ahart at the
address shown below. The request should indicate the names of no more
than three attendees, and state whether or not participation in the
PMEL tour is desired. EG&G anticipates issuing A Request for Proposals
(RFP) on or about December 22, 1997. Proposals will be due on or about
January 23, 1998. We anticipate award of a subcontract in late
February/early March 1998. The successful offeror will demonstrate in
the proposal that (1) it has the necessary technical and management
expertise and personnel to perform the work; (2)it has the ability and
commitment to bring like commercial work to San Antonio; (3)it is a
financially responsible business entity; (4)previously it has
successfully performed similar work for government and/or commercial
customers; and (5) it will perform the wor k for a reasonable price.
Interested offerors may request a copy of the RFP by writing to MS.
