The work includes Architectural and Engineering Services necessary for the preparation of construction documents for the renovation of Heritage Hall Hangar #1 located at Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, DC. Construction documents will be full plans and specifications. The renovation would create an all-weather indoor ceremonial hall, provide for a permanent display of Air Force Heritage, and accommodate multiple office and meeting functions simultaneously. The renovation includes upgrading the building envelope with regard to energy conservation and acoustic treatments. The exterior of the building will be modified as little as possible in order to maintain the historical integrity of the building. The mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems will be entirely replaced from the point of entry to the building providing new systems consistent with current energy conservation guidelines and sustainable building design. A new ceremonial entrance will be added to the facility. Seismic requirements and Force Protection, based on established requirements, site conditions and building use will be incorporated. Lead paint and asbestos abatement will also be integral to this renovation. All relative project requirements must be Y2K compliant. Familiarity with Sustainable Design through an integrated design approach is required. Interior design services are required -- familiarity with mandatory sources of procurement, i.e., Federal prison Industries (FPI), GSA schedules, etc. is required. Familiarity with the metric system of measurement is required. The possibility of hazardous materials, i.e., asbestos, lead, lead paint, PCB's, and petroleum-containing soil may exist at the project site. If these materials or other similar types of material are encountered, the A/E Contractor may be required to conduct hazardous material removal surveys, including testing and sampling, provide design removal procedures and prepare construction documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to such materials. All hazardous materials licenses and/or accreditations necessary for the locality of the project site are required by the A/E firm or their subcontractors. For the Government to retain maximum flexibility in the interest of their client(s), various services/products, such as technical reports, studies, site investigations, programming of client requirements, concept designs, alternative construction document methods, cost estimates, Parametric Cost Estimates (PCE), surveys, assistance in source selection technical panel reviews (Design Evaluations Teams), shop drawings reviews, construction consultation and inspection, HVAC Commissioning, and preparation of construction record drawings, may be required at any time up to final acceptance of all work. The selected A/E firm for this contract will be required to participate in an orientation and site visit meeting (when requested) within seven days of notification and provide a fee proposal within ten days after receiving the Request for Proposal.

This set-aside goal of not less than 5% also applies to women-owned small business concerns. This does not apply if the prime firm is a small business concern.

Effective 1 October 1997, A/E contractors are now required to register their firms in the Central Contractor Registration database prior to receiving a contract award. This data base provides basic business information, capabilities, and financial information to the Government and complies with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, which requires Federal agencies to have the Taxpayer Identification Number of every contractor and to pay every contractor through electronic funds transfer. A/E contractors will only have to provide this information once with annual updates or as key company information changes occur. Registration can be accomplished through the World Wide Web at http//www.acq.mil/ec; through any DOD Certified Value Added Network; or a paper may be obtained by calling the DOD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414.
