Contracting Officer Frederick Strickland (Site Code DACA05) (Site Code
DACA05) 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: Work and services may be for the
design of new or rehabilitation/additions to various
headquarters/administration instructional type facilities of a similar
mission in support of the Sacramento District's assigned military
design program for various fiscal years. This may be the only
announcement which may lead to the award of A- E contracts for the
design of headquarters/administration/instructional facilities for the
Sacramento District during the next 12 months. A separate
firm-fixed-price contract will be negotiated and awarded for each
project. A list of at least three most highly qualified and technically
equal firms will be selected using the primary criteria listed below.
If there are not at least three most highly qualified and technically
equal firms, the synopsis will be canceled. The ranking of the firms is
determined by using the secondary criteria listed below. When a design
authorization for the first project of this type is received,
negotiations will begin withthe top ranked firm. When an authorization
is received for a subsequent project, or if negotiations with a firm
for a project are unsuccessful, negotiations will begin with the next
ranked firm that has not been offered a project for negotiations. If
the list of ranked firms is exhausted, the negotiations cycle will
begin again with the top ranked firm. If the performance of a firm is
less than average, the firm will not be considered for added work
during the cycle. None of the projects have been authorized for design
and funds are not presently available for any contracts (see FAR
52.232-18). This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of
size. All interested Architect-Engineers are reminded that in
accordance with the provisions of PL 95-507, they will be expected to
place subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent consistent with
the efficient performance of the contract with small and small
disadvantaged firms. If a large business is selected, it must comply
with FAR 52-219.9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan
on that part of the work it plans to subcontract. The following
subcontracting goals are the minimal acceptable goals to be included in
the subcontracting plan. Of the subcontracted work, 62% to small
business, 10% to small disadvantaged business (subset of small
business), and 5% to woman-owned small business (subset of small
business). The firms selected for these contracts will be required to
submit a detailed subcontracting plan at a later date. If the selected
firms submit a plan with lesser goals, it must submit written
rationale of why the above goals were not met. A detailed plan is not
required to be submitted with the SF 255; however, the plans to do so
should be specified in Block 10 of the SF 255. The contractor shall be
responsible for design and drawings using computer-aided design and
drafting (CADD) and delivering the three-dimensional drawings in
Autodesk AutoCAD CADD software, release 12, MS-DOS, version 6.2 using
Windows 3.1, electronic digital format. The Government will only accept
the final product for full operation, without conversion or
reformatting, in the Autodesk AutoCAD release 12 format, and on the
target platform specified herein. The target platform is a 486 DX, with
DOS version 6.2 operating system with Windows 3.1. Drawings produced by
scanning drawings of record or containing photographic images shall be
delivered in a raster format compatible with the target platform
AutoCAD electronic digital format. Drawing files shall also be
delivered in Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS)
electronic digital format. The specifications will be produced in
SPECSINTACT with Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) using the
Corps of Engineers Military Construction Guide Specifications.
Specification files shall also be delivered in PostScript electronic
digital format. Responding firms must show computer and modem
capability for accessing the Internet to use the Criteria Bulletin
Board System (CBBS) and the Automated Review Management System (ARMS).
The estimate will be prepared using Corps of Engineer's Computer Aided
Cost Estimating System (M-CACES) (software provided by Government) or
similar software. This work will include all architectural-engineering
(A-E) and related services necessary to complete the design, and A-E
services during the construction phase for these projects. The SIC code
is 8712 with business size standard of maximum $2.5 million of average
annual receipts for its preceding 3 fiscal years. 2. PROJECT
INFORMATION: These contracts may include the design of office space,
automated data processing (ADP) areas, training/conference space,
classrooms, assembly halls, briefing rooms, special purpose and file
areas, restrooms, breakrooms, supply storage areas and information
systems. Support facilities may include mechanical and electrical
systems, HVAC, fire detection/protection, life safety, information
systems, paved parking areas, landscaping, outside utilities, handicap
access and functional floor plans. If demolition of existing
facilities is required, the design effort with documents developed for
asbestos and/or lead paint removal may be required. An interactive
design process for data gathering may be utilized. These projects may
be designed using the metric system of measurement and responding firms
shall indicate relevant metric design experience in Block 8. The
estimated construction costs per project range from $1,000,000 to
approximately $10,000,000. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for
general selection process. The selection criteria are listed below in
descending order of importance. Criteria "a" through "e" are primary.
