C -- PRE-DESIGN, PLANNING, DESIGN, AND PRE THRU POST-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR THE RENOVATION OF BUILDING 10, NIH, BETHESDA, MD SOL 263-99-P(HB)-0122 POC Sandra Jackson, Contracting Officer, 301-435-4327 SOLICITATION NOTICE: The National Institutes of Health, DHHS, plans to enter into an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Pre-design, Planning, Design, and Pre thru Post-construction services for the renovation of Building 10. CONTRACT INFORMATION: Total contract performance period shall be 10 years, with a base award of 3 years, three 2-year options, and a final one-year option. Contract will consist of individually negotiated fixed price delivery orders ranging in value from $50,000 to $10,000,000. Maximum aggregate ceiling will not exceed $35 million for the possible 10-year period of performance. The estimated contract award date is September 1999. If funds are available, the first delivery order is also anticipated to be awarded in September 1999. Full and open competition is solicited. The successful offeror SHALL NOT be eligible for the subsequent AE contract for design development and construction document production. If the successful offeror is a large business, a subcontracting plan will be required to achieve at minimum the following goals based on the total contract ceiling: 13% with small businesses (excluding small disadvantage businesses and women-owned businesses); 5% with small disadvantaged businesses and 2% with women-owned businesses. Standard Industrial Code (SIC) 8712 is applicable to this requirement. PROJECT INFORMATION: Background: The National Institutes of Health is embarking on a 15 year multi-phased program to renovate the entire Building 10 Clinical Center Complex (CCC) while maintaining its operations. NIH requires the services of an ARCHITECT/ENGINEER/PLANNER/CONSTRUCTION MANAGER to provide integrated PRE-DESIGN PHASE -- ANALYSIS, INVESTIGATIONS, PROGRAMMING, STANDARDS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, AND DESIGN PHASE -- CONCEPTS AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN AND PRE THRU POST-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES in support of this effort. The existing building is approximately 2.5 million gross square feet of space housing clinical and biomedical research laboratories, vivarium facilities, hospital functions including inpatient care, surgery, outpatient clinics, diagnostic and treatment, hospital support, office and administration, food service, retail, public areas, and administrative support. A new facility, the Clinical Research Center (CRC) presently under construction to the North of the CCC, will house approximately 800 thousand gross square feet of inpatient care and clinical research laboratories. These functions will be moved from the existing CCC when the project is completed in 2003. This relocation will provide vacant space within the existing building that will define the first phase of a multi-phase program to renovate the Clinical Center Complex. SERVICES: 1. PRE-DESIGN -- ANALYSIS, INVESTIGATIONS including: INFRASTRUCTURE: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, telecommunications, structural, architectural, site and site utilities, environmental/hazardous materials, vertical transportation, energy conservation, as-built documentation and security, LIFE SAFETY AND CODE: Occupancy separation requirements, interior finishes, means of egress, fire suppression system requirements, fire detection/alarm requirements, smoke exhaust/control requirements, emergency power and accessibility for the disabled, CONSTRUCTABILITY: Maintenance of utility systems during construction, CRC transition issues, effect on existing ongoing research programs, construction access and logistics, construction safety, construction phasing/schedule and impact on occupied spaces, and estimated phasing and program costs, ZONING: Circulation, functional zoning, and blocking and stacking, CRC TRANSITION: Utility interface, circulation and impact on existing programs. 2. PRE-DESIGN PROGRAMMING (MACRO) AND STANDARDS including: PROGRAMMING: Departmental and functional program requirements at a macro level, space assignments, space utilization and relationships, public and support requirements including operating procedures/materials management, and phasing, SPACE STANDARDS AND PROTOTYPICAL DESIGNS: Spatial requirements and standards for all functions, standards for materials and finishes, building systems. Prototypical designs for laboratories, vivarium, office, administrative, and common functions, with engineering criteria developed appropriate to these requirements, 3. PRE-DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION PLANS including: CRC TRANSITION AND COORDINATION PLAN: A plan to renovate areas directly supporting CRC construction and renovation of the CCC including circulation and interface, phases of construction, design and construction schedules and costs. PHASING AND LOGISTICS PLAN: Detailed phasing and logistics plans addressing space assignments at each construction phase including permanent, swing space and surge space with alternative scenarios. Define pre-renovation work and requirements necessary to maintain and interface with existing building systems. Provide a detailed schedule for phases of construction and move-in, project cost and management of effort. UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE DISTRIBUTION PLAN: Major equipment, vertical and horizontal distribution plans, alternative options able to adjust to dynamic program requirements, and total demand loads for utilities. ENERGY CONSERVATION PLAN: Mechanical, electrical and architectural criteria including sustainable design concepts for a comprehensive energy conservation plan. QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN: QA plan for upcoming design and construction phases including commissioning. 4. DESIGN PHASE -- CONCEPTS AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN including: CONCEPTS AND ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT: Concepts and renovation approach which integrates the CRC Transition and Coordination Plan, the Phasing and Logistics Plan and the Utility Infrastructure Plan into a maximum of 3 alternatives for the full renovation (all phases) approach to the project. Each alternative will have an associated project cost and schedule. SCHEMATIC DESIGN DOCUMENTS: Based on a selected alternative for the overall renovation approach, development of schematic design documents based on NIH Design Policy and Guidelines requirements with associated project cost and schedule. Schematic design shall be for the initial construction phases only. 5. DESIGN PHASE PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES including: Design Reviews, Constructibility reviews, Commissioning, Program and Feasibility Studies, Implementation Plan Updates, Transition to Design Phase services, Value engineering, Project Cost Estimating and Scheduling, and Design of projects outside the scope of the follow-on design AE contract for the CCC Renovation. 6. CONSTRUCTION AND POST CONSTRUCTION SERVICES including: Construction quality management, inspections, cost estimating and scheduling, activation, commissioning, relocation and move services. SELECTION CRITERIA: Selection criteria shall be in a two part format, A) for the 254 and 255 evaluation and B) for the presentations by the firms shortlisted from the 254 and 255 evaluation.
