The overseas post facilities are either owned or leased by the Department and include embassies, office buildings, warehouses, maintenance shops, and housing. Each contract shall consist of a one-year base period with four one-year optional service periods. The Government guarantees a minimum of $100,000 in task orders over the life of each contract. The total amount of orders issued under each contract shall not exceed $5,000,000 per year. The contract is for support services including, but not limited to, preparing facility assessments and comprehensive maintenance plans, architectural and engineering studies, interior design and graphic design studies, master plans, site utilization studies/plans, planning and feasibility studies, construction specifications development, design and construction contract work statements, cost estimates for design and construction, construction environment profiles, business assessment validations, operation and planning support services, data integration, CADD CD-ROM and site data archive services, R&D efforts related to building technology, QA/QC initiatives including training, the review of design documents prepared by others, studies and analyses, and facility, project and construction management. On occasion, projects may be required to be performed within the OBO offices, or at a designated job site. Although no complex interdisciplinary services are required under this contract, limited physical and security design for security and surveillance systems and special forced entry, ballistic resistant construction, and communication centers and their associated systems may be required. The following disciplines are required, at a minimum: architecture (including historic preservation and landscape), interior design and signage graphics, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, structural (including blast/seismic design), civil/geotechnical engineering, planning, cost estimating, facility management, project management, and construction management. Firms responding to this announcement must have demonstrated management experience coordinating the participating disciplines, working with U.S. Government requirements and other applicable U.S. and foreign laws, codes, and standards (e.g. preparation of design documents in metric units and the submission of construction documents in the latest AutoCAD version). In order to be eligible to perform under this contract, the successful offeror must possess or be able to obtain a Department of Defense (DOD) Secret Facility Clearance (FCL), with Secret safeguarding capability, issued in accordance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, DOD 5220.22-M. Personnel requiring access to classified information or Controlled Access Areas (CAA) at DOS locations must possess a Secret personnel security clearance issued by the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office. Subcontractors requiring access to classified information or CAA spaces must also possess a Secret FCL. Offerors already possessing the necessary FCL should submit their appropriate Commercial and Government Entity Code with their proposal. If a selected offeror does not possess an interim or Final Secret FCL, the Department of State will sponsor the uncleared firm for an FCL. Sponsorship does not guarantee that the firm will receive the clearance. A period of six calendar months from the date of selection for award will be allowed for the uncleared firm to obtain the necessary FCL. After this period, the Government may, at its discretion, consider awarding the contract to another firm or awarding fewer contracts. Firms which form joint ventures must also comply with the above FCL and personnel security clearance requirements. Each entity comprising the joint venture must be issued an FCL, as well as the joint venture. Firms responding to this announcement on or before the closing date will be considered for selection using the following evaluation criteria - 100 points maximum: a) Specialized experience and technical competence in preparing facility assessments and maintenance plans; architectural and engineering studies, planning, master plans; design and construction contract statements of work; studies and analyses; cost estimates for design and construction; review of design documents prepared by others; facility, project, and construction management. Experience in R&D, training, and QA/QC. Experience in energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, and the use of recovered materials.

Although previous performance of a similar U.S. Government contract is not required, if such a contract has been performed, the contractor must have performed satisfactorily. Briefly describe internal quality assurance, coordination, schedule, and cost control procedures, and indicate effectiveness by citing its successful use on no more than five recent projects.
