- Description
- DESCRIPTION: Architect/Engineer (A/E) services are required for a regional firm fixed-price Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract primarily for architectural projects for various locations under the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest (NAVFAC NW) area of responsibility (AOR), but primarily in Washington State. The NAVFAC AOR includes the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska. However, on occasion, work may also be required in other areas of the United States. Required A/E services are primarily architectural in nature, but a strong multi-discipline team is required. For this contract the lead discipline shall be a registered Architect. Services shall be accomplished in the firm?s office with the exception of field/subsurface investigations and surveys as required at the project site. The maximum contract value may not exceed $5,000.000 aggregate total. The minimum guarantee for the contract shall be $10,000. The value of individual task orders executed under this contract may range from $1,000 to $1,000,000. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar completion schedules and overlapping delivery dates. Contract term is for a one -year base period with four one-year option periods. Each performance period will run one calendar year, or until the maximum dollar limit is reached, whichever occurs first. The government may unilaterally exercise the option periods. Per NFAS 17.208-100(c)(1), options for post construction award services may be negotiated on individual task orders for unilateral exercise. Estimated start date for this contract is August 2007. Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 36.6 (Brooks Act) selection procedures apply. This is an unrestricted procurement. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541310 and the annual small business size standard is $4M. The Government makes no representation as to the number of task orders or the actual amount of work to be ordered. Contractors are not guaranteed work in excess of the minimum guarantee. Firms that design or prepare specifications for construction contracts or task orders issued under the resulting contract are prohibited from providing the subsequent construction. This limitation also applies to subsidiaries/affiliates of the firm. STATEMENT OF WORK: Task orders are primarily for the preparation of design/build request for proposals (RFP) and plans and specifications for contracts to accomplish renovation projects, or for construction of new facilities. Other critical task orders are for the identification of customer project design requirements through the development of SF 1391 documentation. Projects may include new designs, evaluations, and/or studies for maintenance, construction, equipment installation, repair and replacement of a wide range of architectural facilities, but with an emphasis on administrative, commercial, industrial, training, recreation, dining halls, commissaries, exchanges, lodges, housing/bachelor quarters, reserve centers, fire station, public works operations, maintenance/repair facilities, light industrial/public works-type facilities, ordnance storage, aviation facilities, warehouses and high security facilities. Major importance will be attached to 1391 development and to integrating new designs with existing facilities and systems. Design and engineering services may also include handicapped accessibility (ADA/UFAS) renovations, interior design, code studies, analysis of existing structures using current DoD seismic criteria, seismic evaluation, field investigation, utility studies, design using Navy anti-terrorism force protection criteria, cost estimating, economic analysis, engineering studies, topographic surveys, sub-surface investigations, construction support, demolition, fire protection, repainting, re-roofing, adaptive re-use of renovated facilities, and cathodic protection. During the performance of this contract, hazardous materials/waste assessments or surveys may be required. Firms must be able to accept work that involves asbestos, lead paint, PCBs, and other hazardous materials. Recovered and recycled materials will be involved in all projects. Cost estimates shall be prepared by a professional cost estimator using R.S. Means, historical data, or Tri-Services Unit Price Book databases, and using SUCCESS cost estimating software (also available on the WBDG website in the CCB database). Computer drawing data shall be provided on electronic media compatible with Intergraph Microstation or AutoCAD, although all final documentation is to be delivered in AutoCAD. Specifications shall be prepared using SPECSINTACT software and will also be provided in .pdf format for posting to Government websites during solicitation. Design using Systeme Internationale (SI) Metric Units may be required. The work may also include other engineering services including cultural, natural and historical preservation requirements of the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) as well as customer activity Base Exterior Architecture Plans (BEAPs).
