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

studies, all associated engineering services, and all post construction
award services. The abovementioned work will be performed on projects
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. There is
likely to be a variety of civil design and engineering services
projects added to this contract. The A&E must be able to demonstrate
his qualifications (and consultants) (with respect to the published CBD

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 recent experience in design of civil
alteration/repair projects and new facilities; (b) experience with
designing facilities using the metric system of measurement; and (c)
their experience and knowledge of local codes, laws, permits and
construction materials and practices of the geographical areas of the
contract 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 design 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; (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 5 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 the following (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 priorDOD
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
Business (SB) -- 62% Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) -- 12%;
Women-owned Small Business (WOSB) -- 5%; Historically Black Colleges
and Universities/Minority Institutes (HBCU/MI) -- 5%. Large Business

to prepare the cost estimate utilizing the NAVFAC "SUCCESS" system in
work breakdown structure (WBS), the specifications in the SPECSINTACT
