Description

This project is being solicited on an unrestricted basis. (The small business size standard North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is ?541310?, $4.0 million annual average.) The work includes Architectural and Engineering Services necessary for the preparation of Design-Bid-Build plans and specifications to renovate Michelson and Chauvenet Halls located at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland. Design effort may be phased over multiple fiscal years. The existing Halls were built approximately 30 years ago. The Michelson-Chauvenet Halls together create an 82,300 GSM (270,000 GSF) academic complex consisting of laboratories, classrooms and offices. The existing complex is configured as twin office/classroom towers sharing a common laboratory function at ground level. The project includes complete renovation, including architectural, mechanical, electrical, information/communications, fire protection, and plumbing systems, and incidental structure work, elevators, laboratory equipment, minor site work, etc. Michelson-Chauvenet Halls include the complete renovation of the 32,000 GSM (105,000 GSF) laboratory ground floor spanning the length of the complex as well as partial renovation of the office/classroom towers which contain floors 1 through 3. The project also includes renovation of approximately 12,200 GSM (40,000 GSF) of swing space in adjacent Nimitz and Rickover Halls connector wing. All relative project requirements must be Y2K compliant. Familiarity with Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) requirements is required. Familiarity with Sustainable Design through an integrated design approach is required. Interior design services are required -- familiarity with mandatory sources of procurement, i.e., Federal prison Industries (FPI), GSA schedules, etc. is required. Familiarity with the metric system of measurement is required. The possibility of hazardous materials, i.e., asbestos and lead paint may exist at the project site. If these materials or other similar types of material are encountered, the A/E Contractor may be required to conduct hazardous material removal surveys, including testing and sampling, provide design removal procedures and prepare construction documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to such materials. 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. For the Government to retain maximum flexibility in the interest of their client(s), various services/products, such as technical reports, studies, site investigations, programming of client requirements, concept designs, alternative construction document methods, cost estimates, Parametric Cost Estimates (PCE), surveys, assistance in source selection technical panel reviews (Design Evaluations Teams), shop drawings reviews, construction consultation and inspection, and preparation of construction record drawings, may be required at any time up to final acceptance of all work. The selected A/E firm for this contract will be required to participate in an orientation and site visit meeting (when requested) within ten days of notification and provide a fee proposal within ten days after receiving the Request for Proposal. This will be a firm fixed price A/E contract. The duration of the contract will include the design and construction support periods of the project (approximately 5 years). The estimated start date is February 2002. Architectural and engineering services for these contracts will be subject to the availability of funds. Project construction costs are in the range of $60,000,000 to $65,000,000, divided into 2 phases of approximately $30,000,000 to $32,000,000 each. Design and construction periods will relate to requirements associated with the USNA academic calendar. 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.a. 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 design and engineering services for the design method and project requirements described herein. b. Knowledge and demonstrated experience in applying sustainability concepts and principles to facilities and infrastructure through an integrated design approach. c. Knowledge and demonstrated experience in applying Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection techniques; 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 plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates; 4. Preferences: a. Preference will be given to firms with the demonstrated capability of using CAD, SPECSINTACT, and the Success Cost Estimating System. 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.

Because this contract could eventually result in an award over $500,000.00, a subcontracting plan will be required by large business concerns. The small disadvantaged business goal in that subcontracting plan shall not be less than 5% of the subcontracted work. This goal of not less than 5% also applies to women-owned small business concerns. A subcontracting plan is not required from firms classified as a small business. Effective 1 October 1997, A/E contractors are now required to register their firms in the Central Contractor Registration database prior to receiving a contract award. This data base provides basic business information, capabilities, and financial information to the Government and complies with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, which requires Federal agencies to have the Taxpayer Identification Number of every contractor and to pay every contractor through electronic funds transfer. A/E contractors will only have to provide this information once with annual updates or as key company information changes occur. Registration can be accomplished through the World Wide Web at http//www.acq.mil/ec; through any DOD Certified Value Added Network; or a paper may be obtained by calling the DOD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414.
