396-0910 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contracting Officer. Please,
smithkl@efanw.navfac.navy.mil. Firm fixed-price Architect-Engineering
(AE) services are required for a regional indefinite quantity type
contract for the design and preparation of plans and specifications for
the purpose of bidding and construction of mechanical and electrical
projects at various locations serviced by the Engineering Field
Activity Northwest including, but not limited to, the states of
Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, and Nevada. Projects may require
preparation and/or evaluation of design-build requests for proposals
(RFPs) or preparation of conventional full-design packages. Major
importance will be attached to functionally integrating new designs and
equipment into existing facilities implementing sustainable design
methods. Typical types of work ventilation, exhaust, heating,
air-conditioning; lighting and electrical power distribution and
transformation; airfield lighting and control; power conditioning,
uninterruptible power supplies, and emergency generators; cathodic
protection, electrical grounding mats,and energy monitoring controls
for various systems; plumbing, boiler plants, building level and campus
level steam distribution; fire protection and alarm systems; water
treatment and hazardous containment facilities; underground storage
tanks, jet fuel storage and distribution; intrusion detection systems;
waterfront utilities. Projects may involve facility alterations that
required analyses/design regarding architectural building features,
life safety, HVAC, fire protection and alarm systems, power and
lighting, and communication systems. The work may also require various
engineering services including, but not limited to, construction cost
estimating, project scheduling, field investigation, surveying,
geotechnical evaluation, design concept and analysis, fire protection
engineering, seismic and/or wind load analysis, and inspection of
cranes. During the performance of this contract a number of
environmental concerns may be encountered including, but not limited
to, stormwater quality, sediment control, hazardous materials,
pollution abatement, lead removal, asbestos abatement, toxic air
emissions, and ground water contamination. The AE shall be required to
prepare cost estimates, using current-year R.S. Means, Inc.
Construction Cost Data, that have been reviewed and approved by a
professional cost engineer. The AE may be required to use SUCCESS (U.S.
Cost, Inc.) cost estimating software. The AE shall be required to
prepare as-built documentation at the time of construction in both
electronic media and hard-copy. Electronic files shall be submitted in
AUTOCAD or INTEGRAPH Microstation-compatible computer drawing format.
The AE shall be required to prepare computer automated specifications
using (SPECSINTACT) software. SELECTION CRITERIA, in descending order
of importance, are: (1) Recent specialized experience and technical
competence of the firm (the office/branch actually accomplishing the
work) including consultants, in the preparation of mechanical and
electrical design packages for building level and campus level
plumbing, boiler plants, and steam distribution; lighting and
electrical power distribution and transformation; and exhaust, heating,
ventilation, and air-conditioning and related monitoring controls.
Design-build experience is preferred and may result in an increased
rating for this criteria. Do not list more than fifteen (15) projects
in Block 8 of the SF-255; projects listed shall have been substantially
completed within the last three years. Indicate which consultants from
the proposed team participated in each of these projects. In the
project descriptions, provide (i) evidence of experience in site
planning and design of environmentally responsible and sustainable
facilities integrated across all engineering disciplines and (ii)
examples of experience delivering products in Standard International
(SI) metric units from planning stages through design and construction.
Extra credit may be assigned for each project cited which involves the
sustainable design approach. (2) Professional qualifications of the
staff to be assigned to this contract, including subconsultants, in
conducting mechanical and electrical engineering and related value
engineering studies and cost estimates, life cycle analyses,
sustainable design utilizing recovered materials, and construction
analyses, and applicable sketches for building level and campus level
plumbing, boiler plants, and steam distribution; lighting and
electrical power distribution and transformation; and exhaust, heating,
ventilation, and air-conditioning and related monitoring controls.
Design-build contracting qualifications are preferred and may result in
an increased rating for this factor. List only the team members who
actually performed the major tasks for these projects. Key personnel
must have professional registration in their discipline. Qualifications
should reflect each individual's skills and abilities to contribute to
the successful completion of task orders on this contract. A
registered fire protection engineer shall be a required member of the
team. In Block 4 of the SF-255 (Personnel Discipline) show the entire
proposed team and professional registration credentials by listing
personnel employed by the prime in the blanks provided and personnel
from consultants to the left in parentheses. In Block 7 of the SF-255,
indicate branch office location of each team member, including key
consultant personnel. (3) Design Quality Control (QC) Program. Provide
a copy of the firm's corporate QC program. Also provide a sample QC
plan prepared for a prior project. The sample should show how
individual subconsultant quality control measures were integrated into
the firm's overall QC program for the design team. It should identify
and describe key procedures to ensure effective coordination of all
project data and of the team's effort to partner with the construction
contractor. (4) Past performance on projects for the types of work in
the Description above, with special emphasis on building level and
campus level plumbing, boiler plants, and steam distribution; lighting
and electrical power distribution and transformation; and exhaust,
heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning and related monitoring
controls. Identify and describe fully, in terms of quality of work,
cost control and compliance with performance schedules, a minimum of
three(3)/maximum of five(5) examples of construction projects completed
successfully within the last three years. Projects listed shall be
those completed by the office/branch that will be accomplishing the
work under this contract. Indicate cost control measures taken and
other proactive procedures used to ensure projects are within cost
limitations. List recent awards, commendations and other performance
evaluations received by the team proposed for this project, for
projects similar to those listed within this factor. (5) Capacity.

task orders concurrently (i.e., the impact of this potential workload
on the firm's permanent staff and anticipated workload during the
contract period along with the firm's history of successfully completed
work in compliance with performance schedules and providing timely
submittals). Indicate the firm's present workload and the availability
of the proposed team members (including consultants) for the specified
contract period. (6) Demonstrated success in prescribing the use of
recovered materials and achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency
in facilities design. Indicate familiarity with energy sustainability
design and specification as well as EPA Comprehensive Procurement
