Projects may include, but are not limited to new construction, alterations, and repair of buildings and structures in tropical environments similar to Thailand, Singapore and other South East Asia and Pacific Ocean Areas. Title II inspection and surveillance services during construction phase may be included. Title II services require qualified personnel and sufficient on-site expertise. If asbestos or hazardous materials exist, the Architect-Engineer (A-E) shall identify them and provide for their disposal in the required documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The selected A-E may be required to participate in a pre-fee meeting within seven days of notification and provide a fee proposal within ten days of the meeting. The selection interviews will be held in Thailand. The contract will be of the Indefinite Quantity type where the work will be required on an "as-needed" basis during the life of the contract. Each project will be a firm fixed price task order. The Government will determine the task order amount by using rates negotiated under the contract and by negotiating the effort required to perform the particular project. The contract shall not exceed twelve months or $250,000.00 total fee, whichever comes first. A-E fee per project shall not exceed $100,000.00. The Government guarantees a minimum amount of $3,000.00 for the contract. The Government reserves the option to extend the contract for four additional years. There will be no future synopsis in the event the options included in the contract are exercised. Estimated date of contract award is May 2001. Proposals may be subject to an advisory audit performed by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. The following selection evaluation criteria, in relative order of importance, will be used in the evaluation of A-E firms: (1) Professional qualifications of firm and staff proposed for the design, repair, alteration, and preparation of project engineering documentation and studies for buildings, infrastructure, and other shore based facility projects located in tropical environments similar to Thailand, Singapore and other South East Asia and Pacific Ocean Areas. (2) Specialized recent experience and technical competence of firm or particular staff members proposed for the design, repair, alteration, and preparation of project engineering documentation and studies for buildings, infrastructure, and other shore based facility projects in located tropical environments similar to Thailand, Singapore and other South East Asia and Pacific Ocean Areas. Your list of previous projects/contracts should include the names, telephone numbers and the POC representing the U.S. Government and/or private industry. (3) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. (4) Location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the projects; provided, that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the projects. (5) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. (6) Experience in sustainable design and quality control program. (7) Extent to which firms identify and commit to small business (SB), small disadvantaged business (SDB), women-owned small business (WOSB), historically underutilized business zone small business (HUBZoneSB), and historically black college or university and minority institution (HBCU/MI) in performance of this contract, whether as a joint venture, teaming arrangement, or subcontractor. (8) Volume of work previously awarded to the firm by the Department of Defense shall also be considered, with the object of effecting an equitable distribution of Department of Defense A-E contracts among qualified A-E firms and firms that have not had Department of Defense contracts. 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 other activities that result in identification of project scope and cost. The A-E firm and consultants selected for this contract will be required to perform throughout the contract term. The contract requires that the selected firm have on-line access to email via the Internet for exchange of correspondence/information. A-E firms which meet the requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit complete, updated Standard Forms 254, Architect Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire, and 255, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Project, to the office shown above. A-E firms utilized by the prime A-E must also submit completed Standard Forms 254 and 255. Only one copy of each form is required. IN BLOCK 10 OF THE SF255, INCLUDE A SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS IN NARRATIVE DISCUSSION ADDRESSING EACH OF THE ABOVE SELECTION EVALUATION CRITERIA. IF NECESSARY, CONTINUE ON PLAIN BOND PAPER. For selection evaluation criteria "(3)", the government will also evaluate each firm's past performance and performance rating(s) from the architect-engineer contract administration support system (ACASS) during the evaluation process which can affect the selection outcome. For selection criteria "(7)", the Government will evaluate firms by the government wide goals, therefore, offeror should identify each firm (prime and subs) by name, discipline, and size status. In addition, the offeror should provide information on past performance on the use of SB, SDB, etc. and/or any awards received for outstanding support of SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZoneSB, and HBCU/MI or other documentation. Documentation may include SBA awards, final subcontracting reports for individual contracts (SF294), copies of performance evaluations on the implementation of subcontracting plans or periodic compliance reviews, and/or information on existing or pending mentor-prot g agreements. The statutory Government wide goals for the total value of all prime contract awards per fiscal year are 23% to SB, 5% to SDB, 5% to WOSB, 5% to HBU/MI, and 2% to HUBZoneSB. Small Disadvantaged Businesses must obtain formal certification from the Small Business Administration to receive contract evaluation benefits reserved for Small Disadvantaged Businesses.
