- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC), Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey, has a requirement for Architectural and Engineering Services, outlined in the attached Statement of Work (SOW), involving construction, shakedown, long- term operation and maintenance, Geographic Information System (GIS)/ system administration, and underground storage tank system monitoring/reporting. These services are needed to ensure that various sites located at the William J. Hughes Technical Center are compliant with both the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) standards and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandated schedules. The precise construction design/specifications and operation/maintenance parameters will not be known at the time of contract award. Hence, the FAA is contemplating the issuance of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with multiple contract line items. Orders for all line items, with the exception of Construction, will be issued on a cost plus fixed fee basis; orders for construction, on a firm fixed price basis. This is a full and open competition with the applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 541330; size standard, $4.5Million. Only firms licensed to practice or offer professional engineering services in the state of New Jersey shall be considered. The duration and cumulative value of this requirement shall not exceed ten (10) years. The commencement of services will begin on or about March 1, 2009. A single contract will be awarded based on best value, and will result from two phases: The first phase (this announcement) will include the submission of a Technical Proposal meeting six (6) minimum requirement criteria and an SF-330 "Architect Engineer Qualifications." Technical Proposals and SF-330's are only requested from prime contractors. Screening proposals shall be limited to 20 pages; SF-330's shall be limited to 50 pages. Technical Proposals must address the contractor's ability to satisfy the following six (6) criteria. Contractors that fail to meet all six (6) criteria will not receive further consideration for award.

(2) The offeror shall furnish documentation and proof that they have performed a hydro-geologic study and/or model of the Cohansey geologic formation or an equivalent geological formation at a National Priorities List (NPL) site that evaluated and made recommendations relative to the control of the movement of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) within said formation. The offeror shall furnish the name of the NPL (Superfund) site, the NPL regulatory project manager's name and phone number, a description of the hydro-geologic evaluation performed for the Cohansey or equivalent formation, and the recommendations that were made to control the movement of VOC's.

The facility at a minimum shall consist of ground water extraction; pH adjustment; chemical precipitation; flocculation; clarification and filtration; carbon treatment; and effluent discharge to injection wells. The offeror shall furnish the name of the NPL site where the facility was constructed,, the NPL regulatory project manager's name and phone number, the corporate or government name of the client* and the contract number, the capacity of the facility in gallons per minute, performance relative to meeting project deadlines, and a description of the treatment processes that were installed at the facility.

Offerors who have not met all six criteria specified above will be notified in writing of the down selection and will not be eligible for award. Debriefings will be accommodated upon written request after down selection. Offerors who have met all six criteria specified above will continue to be evaluated by the FAA Technical Evaluation Team. The Technical Evaluation Team will evaluate SF-330's utilizing the following evaluation criteria in descending order of importance: Factor I Relevant Corporate Experience and Past PerformanceThis factor indicates the relevant qualitative and quantitative aspects of each respondent's record of performing services or delivering products similar in size, content, and complexity to the requirements of the current acquisition. It provides the FAA an opportunity to evaluate the quality of products or services furnished by the respondent. Evaluation of this factor will include careful scrutiny of data compiled from FAA, other Government organizations, and private industry and will include both prime and subcontractor investigations. The scoring system will be adjectival.The evaluation team will evaluate the firm's past performance on similar contracts with Government agencies, and private industry, in terms of quality of work, estimating performance, and compliance with schedule. Factor II Key Personnel This factor indicates qualitative aspects of the respondent's essential personnel. The requirements for on-site and off-site personnel will differ for each delivery order. However, certain personnel shall be permanently assigned to the contract and are designated as key personnel. Key Personnel shall be required to have certain educational and/or work experience and in certain positions will be required to have certain professional qualifications. Respondents shall be required to submit the resumes of these key personnel in Block E of the SF-330, for evaluation against the criteria for each key position. Key Personnel shall not be replaced on the contract without the consent of the FAA. The scoring system shall be adjectival. Key personnel with required qualifications are specified in Section 7 entitled "Contractor Personnel and Qualifications" of the attached Statement of Work. Key personnel shall consist of the following: Project Manager/Principal (PM/P); Site Health and Safety Officer (SHASO); Quality Control Supervisor (QCS); Project Hydrogeologist; Project Geotechnical Engineer; Project Environmental Engineer; Operations Manager/Chemical Process Engineer (OM/CPE); and GIS/GPS System Engineer. The evaluation team will evaluate the individual team members' professional qualifications based on the following points:A)EducationB)Professional registrationC)Years of experienceD) Other items deemed beneficial, such as professional society activities At the conclusion of phase one, those firms deemed "not likely to receive contract award" shall be notified by the Contracting Officer. Debriefings will be accommodated upon written request after down selection. Those firms "most likely to receive award" will receive a Screening Information Request (SIR) and will be requested to submit a cost/price proposal. Those firms most likely to receive award may also, at the option of the FAA, be required to submit a technical approach in response to a mock task prepared by the FAA (Phase Two). The mock task will consist of a theoretical problem arising in the current superfund treatment system or its infrastructure (eg. monitoring, extraction, or injection well or facilities). Offerors will be asked to respond with a written solution to the problem. This response shall not exceed 25 written pages for the written solution plus an additional not to exceed 15 pages of associated cost information (total 40 pages). The FAA will evaluate written solutions based on the technical approach, technical understanding of the problem, materials used, the processes and methods used, and the detailed cost breakdown (labor, materials, subcontracting, and other direct costs) presented. Please note that the FAA reserves the right to award without requesting a response to a mock task. At the conclusion of phase two, the Contracting Officer will commence negotiations with the offerors most likely to receive award. Written questions on this request may be directed via e-mail only to sharon.spector@faa.gov. To receive consideration, offerors must complete and submit an original and four (4) copies of each SF-330 response. All documents shall be provided to: FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center, Engineering Services Acquisitions Sub-Team, AJP-7951, Attn: Sharon R Spector, Atlantic City International Airport, Pomona, NJ 08405 no later than 2:00PM, Monday, October 6, 2008.
