C -- MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR POWER PLANT/DISTRIBUTION PROJECTS SOL N62472-98-D-6515 DUE 031098 POC Point of Contact-Vivian A. Carignan, Contract Specialist, (207)438-5549 E-MAIL: Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, vac_c910@ports.navy.mil. Scope of Services: Architectural and engineering services at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, ME for an indefinite quantity contract for the preparation of contract drawings, specifications prepared using the SPECSINTACT system, design analyses, cost estimates, and AutoCAD compatible disks. Projects may require the preparation of Military Construction project documentation including, but not limited to, preparation of Military Construction Data Sheets and Facilities Studies (Forms 1391 and 1391c), Life Cycle Cost Analysis Summary, and Environmental Assessments. Post construction award options such as shop drawing review/approval, consultation during construction and Title II inspection may be included. There will be no dollar limit per project. The total fee that may be paid under this contract (including one option year) will not exceed $500,000. The duration of this contract will be for one year from the date of the initial contract award with an option for one additional one-year period whichmay be exercised at the discretion of the Government subject to workload and/or satisfaction of A/E performance under the subject contract. Asbestos/lead paint may be encountered during design of all projects under this contract. The Government will perform all sampling and testing of these materials and provide all technical specifications required. The A/E shall identify these areas on contract drawings, quantify the removals required, and retain the services of an Industrial Hygienist if necessary to assist in the preparation of cost estimates. Initial Project: Provide engineering services for the preparation of contract drawings, specifications using the SPECSINTACT system, design analysis, cost estimates, and AutoCAD compatible disks for the replacement / relocation of the Number 3 and 4 high pressure boiler feedwater heaters, high pressure heater drains, and heater controls, and other necessary feedwater piping system repairs and alterations at Bldg. 72 at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, ME. Designsupport services will include incidental civil and structural engineering and architectural design services. SF254/255 package must clearly address all design support services. This initial project will be the guaranteed minimum for this contract. Follow-on design projects, which may be added to the contract for a period of one year from the date of award, may include, but not be limited to installation of a replacement or major rebuild of an existing double automatic extraction condensing steam turbine alternating current generator to restore the plants cogenerating capability which would include upgrading to digital metering, governor controls, extraction controls and monitoring equipment to interface with the existing distributed control system; updating and upgrading the power plants major systems flow diagrams to reflect all existing system changes, upgrades and modifications to date; preparing inventory, specifications and details to have a boiler and pressure vessel life cycle and condition assessmentanalysis performed including non-destructive examinations; converting centrifugal air compressor alternating current motor to a backpressure exhausting auxiliary turbine designed to exhaust to yard export loads during the summer months to enhance overall compressor and plant efficiency; upgrading yard steam distribution desuperheating stations centrally located at the Power Plant; performing efficiency studies which will lead to overall system or operational improvements; performing electrical utility engineering services associated with repairs, alterations, upgrades and troubleshooting of the high voltage generation and distribution equipment such as 13.2 kV generators, metering, switchgear, distribution radial feeders, 13.2 kV / 480V substations, 480V loadcenters, building mains, building subpanels, and underground concrete ductbanks; and designing a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for the Shipyards high voltage distribution and substation switchgear. Significant Evaluation Factors(in order of importance): (a) qualifications and recent experience of people with respect to Power Plant Mechanical and Electrical Utility engineering services specified, (b) past performance with respect to quality of work and compliance with performance schedules and cost constraints, (c) location of the firm in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality, (d) past experience, if any, with respect to performance on Department of Defense contracts, (e) present workload and ability to accomplish work within the required time frame, (f) demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design, (g) extent of participation of small businesses, including small disadvantaged businesses, historically black colleges and universities, and minority institutions on the proposed contract team as measured as a percentage of the estimated effort, and (h) volume of work awarded by the Department of Defense within the last 12 months. Contract No.: N62472-98-D-6515 (number must be cited on SF 255) Type of Contract: Firm Fixed Price. Estimated Start Date: Oct 1998. Estimated Completion Date: Oct 1999. Estimated Cost of Construction: $50,000 -- $3,000,000 Per Project. A/E firms which meet the requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit complete, updated SF 254 and SF 255 forms. One copy of each form must reach Code 914VC by 3:00 PM on 10 March 1998. No material will be returned. Clearly show qualifications, relative experience, and office location of the Project Manager and key individuals who will be assigned to this contract, including those who will be providing design support services. If the Government Board cannot clearly identify the key individuals who will be assigned to this contract, the firm will not be short listed. Specifically address each significant evaluation factor listed above. This is not a request for proposal. See Note 24. (0034)
