C -- C -- DESIGN AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO REHABILITATE OR PROVIDE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS AT CAPE CANAVERAL AIR STATION, VANDENBURG AFB, SHUTTLE LANDING SITES AND THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER (R-134) Design and other Professional Services Required to Rehabilitate, Modernize, or Provide Structural Systems for Facilities at the Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS),Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), Shuttle Landing Sites, and the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida. This synopsis specifies the Government s requirement. There is no separate solicitation package. No more than one copy of the A&E s response to this notice is required. For informational purposes the magnitude of the work involved is estimated to be $750,000 per year. An A&E firm will be selected to develop complete design packages and to provide studies, surveys, reports, and at the discretion of KSC, to perform other professional and incidental services for the subject project, such as project and construction management support in all phases of the work throughout the design and construction. This may include review of shop drawings, resolution of problems, and the providing of inspection services in the post design phase of the project. This project shall include tasks which involve essential or substantial effort in structural systems, equipment and or facilities. The final designs, suitable for competitive bidding of NASA requirements, will be associated with the restoration, rehabilitation, or modifications of existing facilities. The professional services required for this project may include, but will not necessarily be limited to conducting field investigations, surveys, testing and analysis of existing and planned structural work and support systems and to prepare engineering reports of recommended action and/or design packages. The selected A&E firm must have the capacity to provide all the personnel to perform all the work identified. All packages prepared by the A&E firm will include detail cost estimates. Approved designs will be utilized for the advertising and award of fixed price construction contracts. Project sites will be primarily located at KSC and CCAS with minimal number located at other KSC support centersincluding the VAFB. The selected A&E firm will provide services for twelve (12) months and at the government s discretion, for four additional one year options. One A&E firm will be selected to perform Structural on-call A&E services. The A&E firm will be selected in accordance with the evaluation factors described below. A responding A&E firm must tailor their submittal to the specific requirements of this synopsis. The submittal may not exceed 30 pages. The 30 pages includes both the 254 s and 255 s and any additional information the offeror feels may benefit their firm in the selection process. Submittals that are not tailored to the Structural requirement or that exceed the 30 page limitation may not be considered for award. All tasks will require multi-disciplined engineering skills for performance of the required work. The selected A&E firm s project staff must include, as a minimum, specialists in the following engineering disciplines who must have demonstrated experience in the specific disciplines: Structural, Architect, Civil with environmental engineering experience, Electrical, and Mechanical engineers. This staff shall have a combined experience in the design of large complex concrete and steel structures. Tasks will primarily involve design associated with large buildings, towers, access and handling structures and supports for equipment. Examples of design tasks include high bays for mobile equipment servicing, structures for the housing of personnel and equipment, structures for laboratory and testing operations, structural systems for providing access to remote launch vehicle locations and launch vehicle handling devices. The A&E shall have computer capability to assist in stress analysis and structural design.. Additional demonstrated experience will be in HVAC/plumbing, industrial and institutional type electrical systems, grounding, lighting, lightning protection, fire alarm and detection systems, machine systems, and construction management The A&E shall also have demonstrated experience in system testing, analysis and preparation of operating and maintenance documentation, including spares provisioning as well as failure and hazard analysis. The following evaluation factors are in descending order of importance and will be used in the evaluation of all A&E submittals for this project. NASA will consider the immediate past 10 years as the period of time for evaluation under factors (1) and (2). 1. Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required.(Selection Weight, 40 percent) 2. Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, compliance with performance schedules, and success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design.(Selection Weight, 25 percent) 3. Professional qualification necessary for satisfactory performance of required services. (Selection Weight, 15 percent) 4. Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. (Selection Weight, 10 percent) 5. Location of the essential staff for this project (or a commitment to locate) in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project, provided that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project.(Selection Weight, 10 percent) As a part of your submittal, provide in order of the above factors, a specific response to each factor. A&E s responding to this notice should submit, along with the Standard Forms 254 and 255, any additional information that they deem to be of benefit to the firm in the selection process. The proposed design team qualifications as they relate to the specialized experience and technical competence required for this project should be stated. Closing date for responding to this notice is close of business April 2, 1999. Offerors are cautioned that submittals received after the specified closing date may be considered late -- -see Note 24 -- -all references in numbered Note 24 to the Department of Defense shall be changed to read National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Technical questions should be directed to Mr. Frank Der, (407) 867-3476. Submittals should be made in writing to NASA, John F. Kennedy Space Center, Mail Code: OP-CIAO, Bldg. N6-1009, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899. Please reference R-134 when responding. See Numbered Note(s) 1 and 24.
