E-MAIL: Lynn P. Southtage, lynn.southgate@msfc.nasa.gov. The Architect-Engineering (A-E) services to be provided under this procurement consist of field investigations, studies, final designs, specifications, and other engineering services to upgrade the HVAC and electrical systems in Building 4619 at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama. This synopsis is to solicit firms interested in performing a design for the upgrades to these systems. This project will require expertise in the following disciplines: building architecture, HVAC, electrical power distribution, electronic, direct digital control systems, and instrumentation and energy management. The A-E firm shall show evidence of extensive expertise in these disciplines and shall specifically show evidence of expertise in experience profile codes 001, 009, 015, 019, 023, 032, 043, 051, 061, 062, 079, 080, 089, 100, and 112. The design will include removal of existing HVAC and electrical systems, and the installation of new, up-to-date, energy efficient systems. The work will be awarded to a single firm. The estimated construction cost for this project is $1,460,000. This project is being synopsized in anticipation of selecting an A-E firm. Contract award for this project will be contingent upon project approvals. The A-E will do the following: 1. Perform field investigations including project criteria studies; 2. Prepare construction bid packages consisting of calculations, design drawings, and specifications; 3. Develop construction cost estimates to be used as the Government estimates for construction; 4. Provide shop drawing review services necessary to accomplish the project designs and construction; 5. Provide designs on and Intergraph or compatible CAD system. The following criteria will be used in the preliminary screening of the A-E firms responding to this announcement of the subject projects. In order for the responding A-E firms to be considered, they must: 1. Respond to this announcement of this solicitation; 2. Provide the latest versions of Standard 254 and Standard Form 255; 3. Have in-house expertise in the disciplines of architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, specifying, and estimating; 4. Have registered professionals in the disciplines of architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, and instrumentation and controls; 5. Have at least 10 years specialized experience and demonstrated capability in projects of this magnitude; 6. Have CAD capability completely compatible with NASA Intergraph System; 7. Have the following number of architects and engineers (all disciplines to be in-house): Architects -- 2 or more; Electrical Engineers -- 5 or more; Mechanical Engineers -- 10 or more; Structural Engineers -- 2 or more; Civil Engineers -- 2 or more; CAD operators -- 5 or more; 8. Be located 300 miles or less from Huntsville, Alabama. The services required are primarily engineering and this procurement is not set aside for small businesses. A-E firms that meet requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit a completed Standard Form 255, Architect Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Project, and appropriate data as described in Numbered Note 24 to the attention of GP31-M/Lynn Southgate at the address shown above, no later than 30 days from the date of this publication. Evaluation criteria and all other provisions of Numbered Note 24 shall apply to this notice except that that (a) in the sentence beginning "Selection fo firms for negotiations," the fourth additional consideration is changed to read "(4) past experience, if any, of the firm with respect to performance with NASA, other Government Agencies, and private industry;" and (b) in the last sentence, "National Aeronautics and Space Administration" is substituted for "Department of Defense."
