C -- ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES -- JOINT COMPUTATIONAL ENGINEETING LABORATORY (JCEL) SOL PO 6954 DUE 042700 POC Julia de la Cruz (505) 844-9869 E-MAIL: jdelacr@sandia.gov, jdelacr@sandia.gov. Joint Computational Engineering Laboratory (JCEL). Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque New Mexico (SNL/NM) intends to contract for Architect-Engineering (AE) services, subject to availability of funds, to complete a Program Document, with the option of completing the remainder of Title I, Title II design and documentation for JCEL. This requirement was previously published in the CBD July 21, 1998, but due to funding not becoming available, SNL/NM did not proceed with an AE selection. Title I will include a Program Document, Schematic Design and Design Development and Title II will follow with Contract Documents. There is also an option to proceed with Title III (construction administration). Title I design is anticipated to begin in June of 2000. The JCEL facility will focus on research, development and application of leading-edge, high-end computational and communications technologies. JCEL will be the center for SNL's computational modeling, analysis and design community. JCEL's primary mission is to ensure the rapid development and application of high-end computing, modeling, analysis and design needed to achieve the objectives of DOE's Science-Based Stewardship and Management program. Qualified firms shall have demonstrated experience with the design of: high-end computational and communications facilities, computer operations facilities, dynamic environments for office, meeting and teaming spaces of computing organizations, integrated energy efficient building systems, high-functioning energy management control systems (EMCS), corporate standard and state-of-the-art communications systems, and multi-level, flexible security and building control systems. JCEL will include a multi-story office building with a mixture of single, double and management offices, support and teaming spaces, meeting rooms and computer labs. There will also be a one-story section with computer prototyping, multi-purpose and multi-media laboratory, office and support space. The building area is estimated between 50,000 and 60,000 gross square feet. The estimated cost of construction for the JCEL is $10 to $15 million. A fixed price AE services contract is anticipated. The project design is estimated to be approximately 5% civil, 15% structural, 30% architectural, 20% mechanical and 25 % electrical and 5% EMCS. AE firms submitting proposals must have a minimum experience of: projects with building areas of 40,000 s.f. or more, projects with construction budgets of $9,000,000 or more, projects of a similar building type and scope, and a proven capability of preparing CADD files in Microstation 95 or later. All interested firms should submit a letter of interest together with seven (7) copies of a proposal for AE services. The proposal should include standard forms SF254 and SF255 and should be submitted within 30 days of this notice. The proposal is limited to 40 pages including the SF254/255 but not including the letter of interest. The proposals for AE services will be evaluated and scored by a committee of SNL personnel based on the following specific criteria and best value procurement procedures. 1) Project Team Organization -- Project Manager and Discipline Leads roles and responsibilities, 2) Similar Experience by the AE Team -- Project specific relevance to JCEL, 3) Experience of Team Members -- Professional Designation/Certification/Education and Technical Experience (It is expected that team members identified in the proposal will perform the work and will be involved throughout the JCEL project), 4) Programming -- User Requirements and Building Concepts, 5) CADD -- Expertise in Microstation and Software to support the Project, 6) Schedule and Cost Control -- Schedule Tracking Procedures and Cost Estimating Methodologies, 7) Quality Management -- Internal QA Process and External QA Interface. All proposals must be submitted in writing. No telephone responses will be accepted. Responses and questions should be directed to Sandia National Laboratories, attention Julia De La Cruz, mail stop 0222, P.O. Box 5800, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185-0222.
