C -- ARCHIECT-ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR UTILITY PRIVATIZATION & OTHER PROGRAMS FOR HQ AFCESA SOL F08637 99 R6005 DUE 010599 POC Allan Ziemba, Contracting officer, (850) 283-8666 E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting officer via, Al.Ziemba@tyndall.af.mil. The Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA), Tyndall AFB FL, is seeking qualified firms (or joint ventures consisting of one lead firm with other firms providing support) to provide architect-engineer (A-E) services in support of Air Force utilities privatization and other Air Force civil engineering activities. The primary purpose of this program is to perform the tasks necessary to prepare for privatization approximately 571 USAF utility systems within the contract performance period of a basic year and one (1) option year. The government contemplates the award of four (4) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for the above A-E services in the June 1999 time frame. Total combined fees for the four highest-ranked firms is estimated to be $50 million for the basic year and $20 million for the option year, or a total of $17.5 million during the life of each of the four A-E contracts. Individual task orders will not exceed $5 million. Task orders will be issued on an "as required" basis. The guaranteed minimum fee during the life of each contract is $100,000. The work requires multidiscipline architectural and engineering services necessary for the preparation of technical and systems engineering services supporting requirements worldwide. The work shall consist primarily of site surveys, condition assessments, feasibility studies and economic analyses, environmental assessments, and other technical analyses and documentation necessary to support the decision process for utility systems privatization. Firms must have extensive experience in these areas. Other areas of work include architectural engineering consisting of engineering and technical support for investigation, planning, cost estimating, design services, construction supervision for facility and infrastructure projects, and the preparation of various long- and short-range developmental and environmental plans. The anticipated work may include, but is not limited to, the following: (1) A-E services to determine economic feasibility for the privatization of utility infrastructure systems at various installations. Utility infrastructure systems include, but are not limited to generation, supply, and distribution of electric power; supply, treatment, and distribution of water; supply and distribution of natural gas systems; collection and/or treatment of wastewater; and steam, hot water, and chilled water plants and systems. (2) Investigative Services (investigation of existing building conditions, utility infrastructure surveys and analyses, topographic surveys, geo-technical analyses, and reports); Surveys and Studies (facility/base surveys and studies, environmental surveys and studies, and hazardous material surveys and studies (Note: Surveys and studies relating to environmental issues will only be accomplished under this contract when they are a part of a larger, non-environmental engineering effort)); and Design Services (schematic design, design development, value engineering, cost estimating, preparation of specifications, drawings, and contract documents). (3) Construction Supervision and Inspection (construction observation and inspection, review of submittals, site visits, consultation services during contractor preparation of operations and maintenance manuals and preparation of as-built drawings). (4) Planning Services (site utility, infrastructure, traffic and facility planning studies, and analyses); Base Plans (Customer Concept Documents (CCD), Requirements Documents (RD), Project Definition (PD), conducting field surveys and investigations to obtain data, and developing long-range/short-range base/facility development plans); Design-Build projects (project planning and design only); Environmental (restoration, compliance, and pollution prevention relating to planning, facility or infrastructure projects). (Note: Environmental work will only be accomplished under this contract when it is a part of a larger, non-environmental engineering project. It is not the intent of this contract to duplicate the environmental contract capability of the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence at Brooks AFB TX). Selection of firm/teams for negotiation shall be through an order of preference based on demonstrated competence and qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the type of professional services described above. Evaluation factors, in descending order of importance: (1) recent specialized experience and performance in the areas of architectural and engineering services described above; (2) recent specialized experience in the areas of architectural engineering described above by the professionally registered personnel who will perform the actual project work (including consultants); (3) capacity of the firm to perform the work in the time required at stateside and overseas locations; (4) past performance history on both DoD and other contracts in terms of quality of work, cost control, and compliance with performance schedules; (5) demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design; (6) volume of work awarded to the firm by the DoD in the last 12 months with the objective of effecting an equitable distribution of A-E contracts among qualified firms; (7) extent of subcontracting to small businesses and small disadvantaged business, historically black colleges, and university, or minority institution performance of the contract, whether as a joint venture, teaming arrangement, or subcontractor. No additional information will be given to A-E firms. Firms that meet the requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit a letter of interest and three (3) copies each of completed Standard Forms (SF) 254 and 255 to represent the firm/team. Submission of office brochures is encouraged only to the extent that they graphically substantiate the work specifically described in the SF 254 and SF 255. Include the following statement in section 10, SF 255: "This firm/joint venture has been awarded $XXX,XXX of DoD fees in the 12 months preceding the date of this SF 255." This is not a Request For Proposal. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code is 8712. This acquisition is unrestricted. Submittals must be received no later than 3:00 PM central time on 5 January 1999. Submittals received after that date will not be considered. Electronic or facsimile Posted 11/20/98 (W-SN273254).
