SOURCES SOUGHT -- MARKET SURVEY: Engineering Field Activity, West (EFAW), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), is seeking sources from within the Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, and/or Women-owned Small Business community of firms that will be interested in competing, as a prime contractor, under a Request for Proposal (RFP) for INSTALLATION FACILITIES PLANNING SERVICES FOR MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, NEVADA, AND UTAH. This procurement will be conducted under the provisions of FAR SUBPART 15.3 -- SOURCE SELECTION, and the resulting indefinite delivery/quantity (IDIQ) contract(s) will be awarded on the basis of evaluated BEST VALUE. EFAW has not made a final procurement strategy decision with regard to whether this acquisition will be issued on an "unrestricted" basis, or if it will be "set-aside" for small business participation. This decision will be influenced, to a significant degree, by the level of response from the small business community, and by the breadth and depth of past experience reflected in such responses. The services to be included in the scope of this anticipated procurement are: (1) preparation of Activity Planning and Management Model (APMM), including Regional Shore Infrastructure Plans (RSIP) and/or Master Plans. (2) Range/Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (RAICUZ/AICUZ) Studies, including noise level studies. (3) Aircraft Noise Surveys and Studies. (4) Activity Land and Facilities Assets (ALFA) Studies. (5) Land Use Compatibility (LUC) Studies. (6) Base Mapping/Aerial Photography in conjunction with Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and updating of General Development Maps (GDM). (7) Updating Master Plans and Special Planning Studies, including analysis of Basic Facility Requirements, Engineering Evaluations, Utility Studies and Facility Requirements Studies/Plans, Base Exterior Architecture Plans (BEAP), and Traffic/Transportation Studies. (8) All aspects relating to the analysis and preparation of Military Construction Project Data (DD Form 1391 and 1391c), including Economic Analysis, Facility Studies, Development of Design solutions, Wholehouse Repair Studies, Neighborhood of Excellence Studies and Comprehensive Neighborhood Plans, Base Closure and related studies, Capital Improvement Plans, and NEPA Environmental Documentation related to planning studies in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. The Standard Industrial Codes (SIC) applicable to this procurement are 8742 Management Consulting Services, 8748 Business Consulting Services, Not Elsewhere Classified. The Small Business size standard for both SICs is $5,000,000. Respondents must clearly convey, by providing substantiating information, that they have successfully performed the services described above; that they have done so within the preceding five (5) years; and, that they performed these services as a prime contractor under one or more contracts awarded by either DoD or one or more military departments. As previously stated, the procurement strategy will involve the award of at least one IDIQ contract. Recent experience reflects that of the twenty-seven task orders (TO) issued under the current contract, with a total value of just under $2.2M, the range in values extended from approximately $10K to just over $285K; the mean of individual TO prices was just over $80K, and the median was just under $64K. The aggregate of TO performance days was 4,260. The mean of performance days was 158, and the median was 133; the range was 34 to 513 days. Seven TOs had performance periods of 60 days or less; five fell into the 61 -- 90 day range; and another six TOs fell into the 91 to 180 day range. Only two TOs were related to activities within the San Francisco Bay Area commute range (i.e., Mountain View and Oakland); and, only two of the remaining 25 were within commuting distance of each other (i.e., in Ventura County). Of the remainder, ten were in the State of Nevada; six were in the vicinity of Coalinga, CA; two in San Diego County; one in Barstow, CA; and one in MontereyCounty, CA. This TO history, which is typical of projected requirements, represents significant demands upon the entire inventory of a single firm's corporate resources. Responses must clearly show the following: successful multi-task management, of the type and nature contemplated by the scope of the RFP described above, involving a wide range of intellectual disciplines, requiring on-site work at geographically dispersed locations; and, success in responding to extremely short delivery schedules. Responses must also indicate the actual percentage of work that was performed "in-house", subcontracted, or performed by a "teaming" or "joint venture" partnering firm, on a task-by-task basis. Respondents' statements of qualification (SOQ) are not to exceed ten (10) pages (8 " X 11") in length (including cover letter); and, must be in a type pitch/font size no smaller than 12/10, respectively. The SOQ primary focus is to be on relevant work the firm has successfully accomplished, within the past five (5) years, including dates, locations, customers, and points of contact for verification purposes; and, the management structure that was used to accomplish that work. The secondary focus of the SOQ is to be on key management and investigative/intellectual staff members who were directly involved in the performance of past successes, their abbreviated resumes, and a statement regarding their individual availability in the event of eventual contract award during January 1999 time frame. In addition, responses must include a matrix that depicts, along the left vertical axis, the names of management and key investigative/intellectual staff; and, along the top horizontal axis, the organizational function or position they would be expected to occupy under the type contract described above. Respondents are cautioned against the inclusion of extraneous detail in their SOQ. The resulting RFP, which will be synopsized in the Commerce Business Daily, will include a requirement for detailed resumes of key management and staff, proposed organizational structure(s) for managing and accomplishing tasks, financial stability, as well as teaming or joint venture relationships, if any. Responses are to be forwarded to Barbara Woods, Contract Specialist, Code 755, Engineering Field Activity, West, 900 Commodore Drive, San Bruno, CA 94066-5006. Facsimile responses will not be accepted. Posted 08/25/98 (W-SN241539). (0237)
