Contract N62472-00-D-1400 will be used primarily for work in NY and NJ. Contract N62472-00-D-1401 will be used primarily for work in PA and DE. Contract N62472-00-D-1402 will be used primarily for work in ME, NH, and VT. Contract N62472-00-D-1403 will be used primarily for work in CT and MA. Contract N62472-00-D-1404 will be used primarily for work in RI. However, work from other states may be added to any contract at the discretion of the Government. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command is moving towards Design-Build as the preferred method for acquiring capital improvements. Though Design-Bid-Build methodologies (with the preparation of 100% Plans and Specifications) will continue to be utilized, a significant number will likely require preparation of Requests for Proposal packages for Design-Build solicitations using abbreviated (0% -- 30%) design documentation. Packages would include elements of site/engineering investigation, architectural programming, and functional/performance specifications. The following services may also be required: facility planning which includes project programming documents (1391 development), development of requirements, preparation of engineering evaluations, project scope, and unit guidance or parametric cost estimating, development of alternatives and economic analysis; analysis of proposed sites for foundations, utilities, access, constraints and identification of environmental issues; facility design/construction packages, design-build RFP packages, government collateral equipment lists, project preliminary hazard analysis, obtaining permits and regulatory approvals, comprehensive interior design, review of the contractor's submittals, field consultation and inspection during construction, Title II Inspection, Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI), and as-built drawing preparation. The initial project will be determined at a later date. Projects assigned to this contract may include work in the following specialties: Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Protection, Architectural, Interior Design and Landscape Architecture. Phases and/or pre-priced contract options may be included and will be exercised at the discretion of the government for 0 35%, 35 100% design, and post construction contract award services. Contract award is contingent on availability of funds. Options are normally exercised within several months of completing prior work; however, delays of up to one year are possible. Some projects will require design in the metric system. As part of this contract, an asbestos and/or lead-based paint assessment may be required to determine the presence of hazardous material during removals/demolition or at utility points of connections. Firms must be able to accept work that involves asbestos, lead paint, PCB's, and other hazardous materials. Work will be prepared utilizing AutoCAD Release 14 or higher or Microstation Version 95 or higher depending on the location of the specific project. Specifications will be prepared using SPECINSTACT SGML program, and cost estimates using the "Success" estimating program in aWork Breakdown Structures (WBS) system format will be utilized. Selected firm will be required to provide documents in pdf format for posting to a Government web site during solicitation. Firms are advised that the selected firm, its subsidiaries or affiliates which design or prepare specifications for a construction contract cannot provide the construction services for the same contract. This includes concept design, which includes preparation of project programming documents (DD1391), facility siting studies, environmental assessments, or request for proposals for Design-Build projects, or other activities that result in identification of project scope and cost. The contract requires that the selected firm have on-line access to email via the Internet for exchange of correspondence/information. SIGNIFICANT EVALUATION FACTORS (in order of importance): 1. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE. Recent experience of the design team members individually and collectively as a total team (A/E, client, outside agencies) in the type of work required (as described above) and in: a) Performing facility planning studies which includes 1391 development, developing of requirements, preparing engineering evaluations, project scope, and unit guidance or parametric cost estimating. Project development will include development of alternatives and economic analysis. b) Analysis of proposed sites for foundations, utilities, access, constraints and identification of environmental issues. c) Designing and providing construction documents for various facilities, utilities, and site improvements, d) Designing projects to Navy, Air force or other DOD agencies criteria, e) On-site functional analysis and on-site schematics, space programming and budgetary or parametric cost engineering, f) Specialized experience for at least three DDC (direct digital control) projects greater than 10,000 SF conditioned space constructed within the past five years (provide references), g) Designs using AutoCAD, SPECSINTACT, and NAVFAC cost estimating, and, h) Evidenceof experience of both the firm and key personnel in comprehensive interior design, space planning, systems furniture, knowledge of the federal acquisition process and GSA schedules. i) Evidence of prior experience or of the skills needed in the preparation of design/build RFP packages. 2. PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS: Technical competence by discipline (education, registration and experience) of individual design team members. At a minimum, professional registration is required of one individual in each of the specified disciplines. The team shall include, in addition to the more traditional disciplines, an engineer registered in the discipline of fire protection engineering or a related engineering discipline and include 5 complete years of full time experience dedicated to fire protection engineering since 1994, a registered communications distribution designer (this is a new professional registration), an engineer or architect with a minimum of 10 years roofing and waterproofing design and construction experience, a registered landscape architect. 3.
