Description

The work includes Architectural and Engineering Services necessary for the preparation of construction documents to support the family housing program at Charleston Air Force Base. Construction documents will be prepared for Design-Bid-Build (full plans & specs). The type of work includes family housing improvements (repairs, renovations, alterations, upgrades), possible replacements (new construction), and associated demolition work. Work will include architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, and civil disciplines. Site work may include storm water management, landscaping, parking, sidewalks, bike paths, utilities, and other improvements. Familiarity with Sustainable Design through an integrated design approach may be required. Familiarity with English and metric system of measurements are required. The possibility of hazardous materials, i.e., asbestos, lead paint, and other materials may exist at project sites. All hazardous materials licenses and/or accreditations necessary for the locality of the project site are required by the A/E firm or their subcontractors. The general intention is to provide for such design and engineering services as necessary to support the procurement of these contacts. For the Government to retain maximum flexibility in the interest of their clients, various services/products, such as technical reports, studies, site investigations, concept designs, cost estimates, surveys, shop drawings reviews, construction consultation and inspection, Title II, preparation of construction record drawings, and O&M manuals, may be required at any time up to final acceptance of all work. The selected A/E contractor for the contract will be required to provide overhead, profit, and discipline hourly rates initially to the Contracting Officer within 21 days after receiving notification. In addition, the selected A/E contractor will be required to participate in an orientation, scope of work, and site visit meetings (when requested) within seven days of notification for each project and provide each fee proposal within 21 days after receiving the Request for Proposal. Each project will be a firm fixed price A/E contract. Architectural and engineering services for these contracts will be subject to the availability of funds. This is a multi-year family housing program. Work will be required through the duration of the Charleston Air Force Base family housing program. Construction costs range between $5-20 million per year. The estimated start is October 2001. This contract will be subject to a yearly limit of $750,000. The Architectural and Engineering firms shall respond directly to each of the selection criteria shown below. Selection evaluation criteria are included in relative order of importance. 1. Specialized experience and professional qualifications of the firm, including subcontractors, and the proposed project team (the team/office actually accomplishing the work) in providing complete architectural services with multi-disciplinal engineering support services for the design methods and requirements for multi-family/community housing design; 2.a. Demonstrated capabilities in accomplishment of work within established time limits. b. Status of the firm's and project team's present workload; 3. Past performance and process of the prime A/E firm (and their subcontractors) in their quality control/quality assurance program to assure coordinated technically accurate RFP documents, plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates; 4. Preference will be given to firms with the demonstrated capability of using CAD; 5. Geographical location and knowledge of the locality of the project, provided that application of the criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project. Each firm's past performance(s) and performance ratings will be reviewed during the evaluation process and can affect the selection outcome. Firms that meet the requirements listed in this announcement are invited to submit one copy each of the completed Standard Forms (SF) 254 and SF 255, U.S. Government Architect-Engineer Qualifications, to the office indicated below. Site visits will not be arranged during the advertisement period. This proposed contract is being solicited on an unrestricted basis. Interested firms are requested to include telefax numbers, DUNS number, and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) on the SF 254 in Block 1. Interested firms are also requested to include on the SF 255 in Block 10 why your firm is specially qualified based on the selection evaluation criteria. Also, use Block 10 to provide additional information desired by your firm. Only the SF 254 and SF 255 will be reviewed. Experiences identified in Block 8 should not be more than 5 years old. The A/E firm's primary person proposed to be the direct day-to-day contact with Charleston AFB throughout the contract work must be identified as the "Project Manager". Information in the cover letter and any other attachments will not be included in the official selection review process. Because this contract could eventually result in an award over $500,000, a subcontracting plan will be required by large business concerns. All contractors are required to be registered in the Central Contractor Registration database prior to receiving a contract award. Submit your SF 254 and 255 to 437th Contracting Squadron, 101 E. Hill Blvd., Charleston AFB, SC 29404-5021, by 4:30 p.m. Fax copies of the SF 254 and 255 will not be accepted. This is not a request for proposal. NAICS 541330 and 541310. =20
