The services of qualified engineering firms are required to support this effort. The following disciplines are required: •· Structural Engineering •· Blast Design •· Geotechnical Engineering •· Cost Estimation The types of work required may include, but not limited to, the following: •· Preparation of seismic hazard reports and evaluation of existing buildings (including historical buildings). •· Risk Assessment and Risk Analysis to determine the seismic risk of Government owned and leased facilities. •· Two and three dimensional computer modeling and analysis of seismic effects/events. •· Engineering peer reviews on projects designed by others. •· Pre-design and pre-purchase surveys. •· Analytical Evaluation of primary systems and non-structural components. •· Preliminary design, recommendations, and the preparation of reports for repair and strengthening of various buildings. •· ATC 20 post disaster assessment experience and firm availability to respond to an event. •· Blast resistance design, including progressive collapse analysis. •· Assessment of earthquake related geotechnical hazards and recommendations to limit risk. •· Cost Estimating. All work shall be performed by, or under the direct supervision of a registered professional engineer. Services may also include assisting GSA staff in in-house design and collaboration with scholars in recognized academic institutions. Design services may include the preparation of working drawings and documents. Project design and contract documents, including drawings, specifications and calculations may be prepared in both metric (SI units) and English (I-P units) systems of measurements. Buildings under consideration may be located in any of the 50 states, as well as US Trust Territories and Possessions. It is also anticipated that other GSA Regions, along with other Federal and DOD Agencies, will be designated as Ordering Offices under these contracts, as well. Award is targeted for the Spring of 2011. The type of contracts will be Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). Contract term will be a base year and four consecutive one year options. Maximum order limit will be $1,000,000 per contract, per year, with an aggregate total of $5,000,000 per contract for five (5) years of service. Minimum order will be $5,000 per contract, per year. Up to three (3) contracts may be awarded. A Small and Disadvantaged Business subcontracting plan may be required if the awardee is not a small business. To be eligible for consideration, a firm must have an active and functioning engineering/design office in GSA Region 9 (California, Arizona, Nevada or Hawaii) for five (5) years preceding the closing date of this announcement. Interested firms are invited to submit original and five (5) copies of the SF 330 Architect-Engineer Qualifications, Part II, and a completed, current Standard Form 330 for each proposed consultant. Interested firms with more than one(1) office must indicate on their SF 330 the staffing composition of the office in which the work will be performed. Late responses are subject to F.A.R. Provision 52.214-7. Selection factors, in order of importance, are as follows: •1. Professional Qualifications and Experience of Firms and Key Personnel: (40 points) •· Professional Qualifications and relevant team and individual experience; •· Unique knowledge in the field of structural/blast and •· Geotechnical engineering, and •· Time commitment of key members to projects. Blast designer qualifications: Contractor's personnel shall have formal training in: •· Structural dynamics, the effects of blast on structural systems and engineering analysis. The Contractor shall: •· be familiar with and be capable of using GSA's computer programs WINGARD Version 5.5.1 or later •· have a minimum of five (5) years of blast resistant design for the lead blast consultant. •· have demonstrated experience in performing work of a similar nature and scope within the past two (2) years. •2. Technical Competence: (30 Points) •· Familiarity with GSA, Federal, NEHRP and national seismic codes, standards and guidelines, •· Familiarity with dynamic response of buildings to seismic forces, and •· At least five (5) years demonstrated experience of design of new high rise buildings, and •· Experience with existing (historical) buildings in regions of high seismicity, and •· Familiarity with the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) Security Criteria, and •· Familiarity with blast resistant design, including, but not limited to, progressive collapse analysis and calculations. •3. Past performance: (20 points) •· Past performance in providing Supplemental Seismic/Structural/Blast design services with respect to the team's responsiveness to client's needs for GSA, other Federal Agencies such as VA, DoD, FAA, and private firms. •· Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time, and •· Evidence of previous project management performance, quality control, coordination, scheduling and cost control.
