C -- PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES REQUIRED TO DESIGN A SPACE EXPERIMENTS RESEARCH AND PROCESSING LABORATORY (SERPL) TO BE LOCATED AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL SOL R-136 DUE 011000 POC Roy M. Colvin, Contracting Officer, Phone (407) 867-3415, Fax (407) 867-2042, Email Mitch.Colvin-1@ksc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/EPS/bizops.cgi?gr=D&;pin=76#R-136. E-MAIL: Roy M. Colvin, Mitch.Colvin-1@ksc.nasa.gov. This synopsis specifies the Government's requirement. There is no seperate solicitation package. All firms capable of satisfying the requirements of this announcement are invited to submit a response. The professional services required for 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: Design of Laboratories used for life sciences, biologic research, and experiments processing, Architectural, Civil (with environmental engineering experience), Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and Communication Systems, and Project Management. This staff shall have combined experience in the design of offices, laboratory support areas and warehouse areas. The A&E shall have the computer capability to assist in engineering calculations and computer aided drafting. The A&E shall have experience in different types of wall/ roof/ floor construction, furniture layout, HVAC, plumbing, building control systems, industrial and institutional type electrical systems (low and medium voltage), grounding, lighting, lightning protection, fire detection and suppression systems, computer networks, energy conservation and constructibility with demonstrated experience in systems testing. The professional services required for this project may include, but will not necessarily be limited to conducting field investigations, topographical surveys, soil testing and analysis of existing and planned work and support systems and to prepare engineering reports of recommended action and/or design packages. The firm will be selected to develop complete design packages for the facility and to provide studies, surveys, reports, environmental permit applications, environmental certificates of compliance 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 design, advertisement and award period and construction. This may include review of shop drawings, resolution of problems, providing of inspection services in the post design phase of the project and record construction drawings. The A&E shall have knowledge of different types of construction methods and be responsive to changes in direction. The design effort for the proposed Space Experiments Research and Processing Laboratory (SERPL) may require site investigations, integrating project requirements, and proposing different construction methods. This facility is planned as a two-story building of approximately 100,000 square feet. The facility is envisioned to include offices, conference rooms, warehouse storage areas, laboratories areas, laboratory support areas, shipping and receiving areas, outside support areas, and parking. The design shall minimize construction impacts to the surrounding areas and to existing utilities. The final design will be utilized for the advertisement and award of a fixed price construction contract with a magnitude of greater than 10 million dollars. All packages prepared by the A&E firm will include detail cost estimates and schedules. The selected A&E firm will provide design services and technical assistance during bidding. 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 50, pages front side only. The 50 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 requirements or that exceed the 50 page limitation may not be considered for award. 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) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, compliance with performance schedules, responsiveness and success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design (Selection Weight, 40 percent). (2) Specialized experience and technical competence in the design of laboratory facilities and disciplines as previously mentioned (Selection Weight, 35 percent). (3) Professional qualification necessary for satisfactory performance of required services (Selection Weight, 10 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, 5 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. A 90% Preliminary Engineering Report is available upon request. A copy of the PER may be obtained by contacting Mr. Charles Gambaro, (407) 867-3688. Two copies of the Architect and Engineer's (A&E) response to this notice is required. Closing date for responding to this notice is close of business January 10, 2000. 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. Charles A. Gambaro (407) 867-3688. 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-136 when responding. See Numbered Note(s)24. Posted 12/02/99 (D-SN405220). (0336)
