99 -- INDEFINITE DELIVERY/INDEFINITE QUANTITY TASK ORDER CONTRACT FOR A-E DESIGN SERVICES, MULTIPLE PROJECT SOL 1999N00240 DUE 091699 POC Laurie Johnson, Contract Specialist, (770) 488-2617 Architect-Engineer services are required for the design of multiple projects for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Facilities will be located at the CDC's Chamblee Campus (Buford Highway) and the Edward R. Roybal Campus (Clifton Road) in Atlanta. Scope of work includes laboratory planning, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, structural, civil and any other required disciplines to perform pre-design studies, program development, investigations and evaluations, design and construction document production, cost estimates, construction phase services, building commissioning services, participation in an independent value engineering process, and other related services for the listed project types. The CDC provides the requisite support and service facilities to foster and maintain a state-of-the-art public health environment. Such facilities may include but are not necessarily limited to Bio-safety Levels II, III, and IV research laboratories and laboratory support functions, animal housing, office buildings, conference facilities including auditoria and food service, parking structures, campus utility and infrastructure, hazardous material storage facilities and central utility plants. Projects may include new construction and/or major renovation and modernization as follows: (1) Laboratory Support, Building 15, Roybal Campus; (2) Infectious Disease Lab, Building 18, Roybal Campus; (3) Scientific Communications Center, Roybal Campus; (4) Approximately 1 -- 12 Office Buildings with associated parking at the Roybal and Chamblee Campuses; (5) Environmental Health Lab, Building 110, Chamblee Campus; (6) Lab Support Building Modernization, Building 6, Roybal Campus; (7) Lab Modernization, Building 1 South, Roybal Campus; (8) Lab/Office Modernization, Building 1 Main, Roybal Campus; (9) Biosafety Level IV Lab Modernization, Building 15, Roybal Campus; (10) Office Modernization, Building 3, Roybal Campus; (11) Security Buffer Infrastructure, Chamblee Campus. These projects will range between $9,000,000 to $120,000,000 in construction cost. The government anticipates that the approximate construction cost of 50% of the projects may range in size from $9,000,000 to $25,000,000, 40% from $25,000,000 to $80,000,000, and 10% from $80,000,000 to $120,000,000. Architect-Engineer firms will be required to work with a Construction Manager (at risk) firm at the completion of the Schematic Design Phase stage. Architect-Engineer firms must agree to accept a relationship of trust and confidence and covenants with the Government to furnish the A-E's reasonable skill and judgement and to cooperate with the Construction Manager Contractor in furthering the interests of the Government. The purpose of this procurement is to select firms highly qualified to provide these architectural-engineering services. Due to the variety of projects anticipated, the selected firms must possess a wide range of professional services and experience in architecture and engineering for the research facilities and the general types of facilities listed above. Design teams will be required to demonstrate considerable experience in designing research laboratory facilities for infectious disease and for toxic and carcinogenic research and for office, conference, parking structures, and infrastructure related facilities. Experience must include an in-depth knowledge of related complex laboratory processes, scientific equipment, laboratory mechanical systems, containment laboratory design and must have a working knowledge of the CDC/NIH's Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) standards and the American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) standards. All members of the A/E team shall have the ability to produce all drawings and text documents using the most current CDC software standards. Currently drawings are produced using AUTOCAD release 14 using CDC layering standards; all text documents are produced using Corel WordPerfect 8; and all spreadsheets are produced using Excel 97. Firms will be evaluated based on the following criteria and associated weight factors: (I) Professional Qualifications (35%). Minimum response shall include, but not be limited, to the relevant experience and qualifications of key personnel related to the types of facilities noted above; and the experience of the proposed team members working together. (II) Firm's Past Performance on Similar Projects (25%). Minimum response shall include, but not be limited to: a. Past performance on similar contracts with Government agencies maintaining project schedules and project budgets. b. Past performance on similar contracts with private industry maintaining project schedules and project budgets. c. Demonstration of user satisfaction with quality of work. d. Demonstration of having successfully worked on similar projects with a Construction Manager at risk. (III) Proven Team Experience with Listed Building Types (20%). Minimum response shall include, but not be limited to: a. Team experience and technical competence including complex engineering concepts and innovative design. (IV) Organization of Proposed Team (20%). Minimum response shall include, but not be limited to: a. Organizational structure and demonstrated ability to organize and manage similar contracts. b. Management plan reflecting coordination of disciplines, quality control, and controls to maintain project schedule and construction costs. (V) Location: ONLY prime firms and their major consultants (architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, and MEP engineering), with the exception of the laboratory planning consultant, having established production offices within a fifty mile radius of Atlanta, Georgia will be considered for this procurement. Selected firms shall be required to possess the necessary permits, registration and licenses that may be required to carry out the tasks ordered under this contract. This is a multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity task order contract. Task orders will be competed among those firms obtaining contracts based on technical qualifications relative to the specific project. Award of this contract is anticipated approximately February 2000, for a base period of three (3) years with three (3) optional one-year extensions. The base 3 year period is estimated for $30,000,000 in fees and each one year option period is estimated at $10,000,000. The Government intends to make multiple awards. A guaranteed minimum amount of $10,000 will be ordered for each successful firm. Architect-Engineer selection procedures will be used in accordance with Part 36 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and selection will be non-project specific. Following an initial evaluation of the qualification and performance data submitted, interviews will be conducted, and three or more firms considered to be the most highly qualified will be awarded a contract.
