Projects will primarily be located at DDJC, Sharpe and Tracy, California. A specific scope of work and services required will be issued with each task order. The end result of these studies/projects will be designs. This work will include all architectural-engineering (A-E) and related services necessary to complete the design, including A-E services during the construction phase and the operations and control phase. The NAICS code is 541310 with business size standard of maximum $4.0 million of average annual receipts for its preceding 3 fiscal years. The contract will be issued by the COE, Sacramento District; however, task orders may be issued and administered by DDJC. The contractor shall be responsible for design and drawings using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and delivering the two dimensional drawings in Autodesk AutoCAD CADD software, release 2000i. The Government will only accept the final product for full operation, without conversion or reformatting, in the Autodesk AutoCAD release 2000i format, and on the target platform specified herein. The target platform is a Pentium 200 HMz, 32 MB Ram, 8 GB Hard Drive with an NT 4.0 operating system.

More than one firm may be selected from this announcement, and multiple awards made. However, no contract will be awarded later than one year after the date that the responses to this synopsis are due. If more than one contract is awarded as a result of this announcement for the same or similar work, selection for task order awards will be made as follows: (1) All awardees will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order award in excess of $2,500. (2) In making selection of the awardee to receive a specific task order, the Contracting Officer will consider past performance of previous task orders, quality of previous task orders, timeliness of previous task orders, cost control, the firm's strengths and previous experience in relation to the work requirements and geographic location described in the scope of work for each task order. Details of the selection process will be included in the resultant contracts. Firm-fixed price indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts will be negotiated and the first is anticipated to be awarded in February 2002. Each contract will be for a one-year period not-to-exceed $250,000 for the basic year and two one-year options not-to-exceed $250,000 each. The options may be exercised at the discretion of the Government. At the discretion of the Government, the option years may be exercised early if the Total Estimated Price is exhausted or nearly exhausted. All pricing schedules (Base Year, and all Option Years) will be effective for one full year regardless of the early exercising of options. If the Total Estimated Price of the base year or any option year is not awarded within that year's 12-month performance period and the Government has elected to exercise a subsequent option year, the remaining unused dollar amount may be added on to the Total Estimated Price of the option period being exercised. Task Orders shall not exceed the annual contract amount. This announcement is open to all firms regardless of size. All interested Architect-Engineers are reminded that in accordance with the provisions of PL 95-507, they will be expected to place subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent consistent with the efficient performance of the contract with small and small disadvantaged businesses. If a large business is selected, it must comply with FAR 52-219.9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it plans to subcontract. The recommended goal for the work intended to be sub-contracted is 62% for small business. It further states that out of that 62% to small business, 10% is for small disadvantaged business (subset to small business) and 5% is for small business/woman owned (subset to small business). The firms selected for these contracts will be required to submit a detailed subcontracting plan at a later date. If the selected firms submit a plan with lesser goals, they must submit written rationale of why the above goals were not met. A detailed plan is not required to be submitted with the SF 255; however, the plans to do so should be specified in Block 10 of the SF 255. 2.
