INDEFINITE QUANTITY ARCHITECT-ENGINEER CONTRACT FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS IN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA -- THERE IS NO RFP PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD. ALL INFORMATION NEEDED TO SUBMIT SF 254 AND SF 255 DOCUMENTS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. This solicitation is issued "unrestricted" for an Indefinite Quantity Firm Fixed Price Contract. . SIC Code for this procurement is 8712 and the annual size standard is $4,000,000.00. Architectural-engineering services required are primarily architectural in nature but a strong full service team is required. Special emphasis is placed on the capabilities of the structural (seismic), mechanical and electrical team members in the renovation of existing facilities. Contract term will be for an Base term with options to extend for four (4) additional performance periods. Each performance period will run 365 calendar days from date of award/exercise of option or until the maximum limit is reached, whichever occurs first. The maximum fee limit may not exceed $1,500,000 per performance period. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar delivery schedules requiring the selected firm to provide services with overlapping work/delivery dates. A minimum of $25,000 is guaranteed for the initial performance period and for each option period if no work is ordered after contract/option award. Specific projects will be identified at a later date but will likely include an emphasis on administration/academic or light industrial type facilities. Notice: If the selected firm prepares the statement of owner's requirements for Design/Build procurements, the firm is prohibited from competing during the subsequent design/construction procurement stage. Primary work will be in two areas: (1) assessment of existing military facilities and infrastructure to develop a comprehensive renovation plan (including a budget) which may extend a number of years and (2) the preparation of plans and specifications (use of SPECSNTAC software program is required) or statements of work requirements for design/build contracts to accomplish major repair/renovation projects in existing military-owned facilities. Similar services are required for the design phase of new construction. Facilities addressed will range from small/limited scope renovations to renovations of large complex structures such as classroom/lab facilities, administration buildings, aircraft operations support facilities or troop housing. New construction requirements may address a wide range of facilities as well. Additional services which may be required by this contract include cost estimating (both budget level and detailed) during design (use of SUCCESS cost estimating software program is required), preparation of feasibility studies including economic analyses, preparation of various engineering studies supporting the budget processor design phase, inspection of existing conditions with recommendations for renovation work to be accomplished to preserve assets, preparation of seismic analyses of existing structures using current DOD seismic criteria to determine the extent of retrofit necessary to significantly prolong the life of a facility, inspection to identify presence and scope of hazardous materials (primarily asbestos and lead based paint), preparation of documents defining existing conditions, preparation of topographic surveys, accomplishment of sub-surface investigations, preparation of utility studies, provision of planning services, provision of interior design services, provision of construction support services, and participation in coordination efforts with the State Historical Preservation Office. Estimated start date for this contract is 1 March 2000; estimated completion date (including construction support services) is February 2005.

Special emphasis is placed on experience of the mechanical and electrical team members in facility renovation work. Recent past experience in the design or preparation of statements of work for new construction is also valued, however, the emphasis of this contract is on renovation. Recent past experience in undertaking multiple task orders with similar delivery dates will also be evaluated. Recent experience is defined as work undertaken in the past five years.
