(a DD Form 1391 Plus is preparation of basic project documentation
including the DD Form 1391; a PCE is enhancement of basic
documentation, and includes economic analyses of alternatives and
estimated utilities impacts), plans, specifications, cost estimates,
related studies, all associated engineering services, shop drawing
review, as-built drawing preparation, Quality Assurance Plan (QAP)
preparation (provides construction contract inspection requirements),
Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI), construction
inspection and engineering consultation services during construction
for several airfield related projects. The Government will reserve an
option to negotiate final plans, specifications, cost estimates,
related studies, all associated engineering services, and all post
construction award services. The abovementioned work will be performed
onprojects primarily in Italy; however, orders may be placed at any
Activity under the cognizance of Engineering Field Activity,
Mediterranean (Europe, North Africa and Southwestern Asia), the Azores
and Iceland. The A&E must be able to demonstrate its (and consultants)
qualifications (with respect to the published evaluation factors) to
perform the work noted above on airfield related projects. Projects may
include, but are not limited to: Avionics Facilities, Aircraft
Corrosion Control/Paint Facilities, Flight Simulator Facilities, and
Hot Pit Refueling Facilities. The A&E must demonstrate his and each key
consultant's qualifications with respect to the published evaluation
factors for all services. Evaluation factors (1) through (6) are of
equal importance; factors (7), (8) and (9) are of lesser importance and
will be used as "tie-breakers" among technically equal firms. Specific
evaluation factors include: (1) Specialized Experience -- Firms will
be evaluated in terms of: (a) their past experience with regard to the
design of the types of facilities listed above; (b) experience with
designing facilities using the metric system of measurement; (c) the
firm's experience in providing construction phase services (shop
drawing review, as-built drawing preparation, Quality Assurance Plan
(QAP) preparation, construction inspection services, and OMSI); and (d)
knowledge of local codes, laws, permits and construction materials and
practices of the contract area and in particular Italy; (2)
Professional qualifications and technical competence in the type of
work required: Firms will be evaluated in terms of the design staff's:
(a) organization and office management as evidenced by management
approach (management plan for these projects), and personnel roles in
organization, in particular, management's approach/plan to engage and
utilize in-country consultants to assure that the design utilizes
in-country materials and products, and is compatible with in country
standards and codes and in-country construction practices; (b) active
professional registration; (c) experience (with present and other
firms) and roles of staff members specifically on projects addressed in
evaluation factor number one; and (d) capability to provide qualified
backup staffing for key personnel to ensure continuity of services and
ability to surge to meet unexpected project demands; (3) Sustainable
Design -- Firms will be evaluated in terms of their knowledge and
demonstrated experience in applying sustainability concepts and
principles to facilities and infrastructure problems through an
integrated design approach; (4) Ability to perform the work to
schedules and capability to complete up to eight taskings
simultaneously (show current and projected workload with a plan and
schedule on how you propose to accomplish the work) -- Firms will be
evaluated in terms of impact of this workload on the design staff's
projected workload during the contract period; (5) Past performance --
Firms will be evaluated in terms of one or more of thefollowing (with
emphasis on projects addressed in factor number one): (a) the process
for cost control and the key person responsible; and (b) performance
ratings/letters of recommendations received; (6) Quality Control
Program -- Firms will be evaluated on the acceptability of their
internal quality control program used to ensure technical accuracy and
discipline coordination of plans and specifications -- list key
personnel responsible; (7) Firm location (provided that application of
this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given
the nature and size of the contract); (8) Volume of Work -- Firms will
be evaluated in terms of work previously awarded to the firm by DOD
with the objective of affecting an equitable distribution of DOD A&E
contracts among qualified A&E firms, including small and small
disadvantaged business firms and firms that have not had prior DOD
contracts; and (9) Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business
Subcontracting Plan -- Firms will be evaluated on the extent to which
offerors identify and commit to small business and to small
disadvantaged business, historically black college and university, or
minority institution in performance of the contract, whether as joint
venture, teaming arrangement, or subcontractor. The following are the
published SECNAV goals for small business subcontracting support: Small
