ATTENTION 8(A) CERTIFIED FIRMS AND UNRESTRICTED FIRMS: The proposed contract described herein is reserved for competition among 8(A) certified firms (certified by the Small Business Administration). However, responses are being accepted from all firms. In the event that responses from 8(A) certified firms are not adequate to establish competition in accordance with the Brooks Act (3 or more qualified firms establishes adequate competition), the solicitation will become unrestricted and all responses will be evaluated. FAR Clause 52.219-14 Limits on Subcontracting applies to this acquisition. In part, the clause states that ".....at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern." A-E services are required in order for Navy and Marine Corps activities to meet their statutory compliance requirements for all of the applicable environmental laws and regulations pertaining to environmental studies and other support services for ongoing operations related to compliance with laws and regulations for air, water, hazardous materials, hazardous waste, solid waste, and petroleum, oils and lubricants (POL), and pollution prevention. The contractor shall provide these services at U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and other government facilities predominantly in California, to a lesser extent in Arizona, and to an even lesser extent in Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract not to exceed 365 days from the date of contract award. The government has the option to extend this contract for four additional option periods (365 calendar days for each option). The maximum quantity for the five-year contract is $40,000,000. A maximum quantity is not specified by year. However, for proposal evaluation purposes, an even distribution of $8,000,000 per year is assumed. The individual delivery order limitation is $1,000,000. The guaranteed minimum contract amount for the base year is $50,000. A/E selection criteria will include (in order of importance): (1) Specialized experience in California and Arizona of the firm and/or proposed consultants that was completed, or at least 80% completed, in the period between January 1997 to July 2000, in performing simultaneous projects for environmental studies and other support services relating to compliance with laws and regulations for air, water, hazardous materials, hazardous waste, solid waste, and petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL), and pollution prevention, associated GIS mapping, obtaining environmental permits, and interfacing with regulatory agencies (Federal/State/Local). Experience in California will be weighted more heavily than experience in Arizona. No more than 10 projects performed in California and no more than 2 projects performed in Arizona will be evaluated. No more than 12 projects in total will be evaluated. Disregard the SF 255 Part 8 limitation of 10 projects. (2) Professional qualifications and capabilities of the staff to be assigned to this contract. Include experience in California and Arizona from January 1995 to July 2000 in performing field investigations and preparing studies/analyses/plans relating to environmental studies and other support services relating to compliance with laws and regulations for air, water, hazardous materials, hazardous waste, solid waste, and petroleum, oils and lubricants (POL), and pollution prevention, associated GIS mapping, obtaining environmental permits and interfacing with regulatory agencies (Federal/State/Local).

Document recent awards and commendations (do not submit copies). (4) Location in general geographic area of Navy and Marine Corps installations in California and Arizona and knowledge of the locality in relation to Navy and Marine Corps installations in California and Arizona. Greater weight will be given to location in proximity to Navy and Marine Corps installations in California than in Arizona, but if proximity to installations in California were comparable with that of other firms, closer proximity to installations in Arizona would be an advantage. (5) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. Indicate the firm's present workload and the availability of the project team (including consultants) for the specified contract performance period; and indicate specialized equipment, particularly related to state of the art technology. (6) Use of the following types of businesses: list the small, small disadvantaged, woman-owned small businesses, historically black colleges and universities and minority institutions (if applicable), HUBZone small businesses, and locally owned (when applicable) small business firms used as primary consultants or as subconsultants.

Of this amount, the following minimum percentages apply: 5% to small disadvantaged business, 5% to women-owned small business, 5% to historically black colleges and universities and minority institutions (if applicable), 2% to HUBZone small business and, when applicable, 10% to locally owned small business (applies to BRAC projects and projects performed in remote locations in which the military base is the primary source of employment for the community). To qualify as a locally owned small business, the business must be located in the county that the work is performed or in an adjacent county. Those firms that meet the requirements described in this announcement and wish to be considered, must submit one copy each of a SF 254 and a SF 255 for the firm and a SF 254 for each consultant listed in block 6 of the firm's SF 255.
