- NNK12CA05RR Architect-Engineer Services, Design, and Other Professional Services Required to Rehabilitate, Modernize or Provide Structural Systems for Existing or New Facilities at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida; Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida; and Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), California. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation prepared in accordance with FAR 5.207, Preparation and Transmittal of Synopses. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a separate solicitation will not be issued. NASAs John F. Kennedy Space Center intends to award an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for this effort. The IDIQ contract will have a minimum value of $10,000 which represents the minimum value of work the Government is required to order and the contractor shall deliver under each IDIQ contract. The maximum value of work the Government may order and the contractor may deliver will be $8,000,000. The awarded contract will have a five year ordering period. Work will be accomplished as individual Task Orders under the IDIQ contract. The individual Task Orders will be awarded beginning with the date of execution of the IDIQ contract. The Contracting Officer will solicit Task Order offers by issuing written requests for offers for specific projects. Task Orders will be awarded consistent with FAR 36.602. Individual Task Orders will be issued on a Firm Fixed Price basis. As determined by the Contracting Officer, performance of work under Task Orders issued against the IDIQ contract may extend for up to one year beyond the ordering period of the IDIQ contract. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/REQUIREMENTS SCOPE OF WORK The A&E professional services required for this project may include, but will not necessarily be limited to the following: design and analysis of test stands, launch structures, movable structures, ground support equipment, towers, other large frame structures, and large/ unique foundations. The A&E shall be capable of performing concrete based design, steel based design, and vibration and structural analysis utilizing software suites. The services may also include the study and design of new facilities, refurbishment of existing facilities, and demolition of existing facilities. These facilities may be large scale commercial office buildings, industrial facilities, and/ or laboratory buildings, with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building certification. The selected firm shall develop complete design packages and provide studies, detailed cost estimates, surveys, reports, environmental permit applications. Other tasks shall include cost-benefit analysis, life cycle cost analysis, parametric cost estimating, and detailed quantity take-off and cost estimating. The A&E shall demonstrate high performance in estimating project costs in comparison to the amount of awarded bid. The primary task of the A&E Firm will be to develop planning studies, environmental studies, permits, cost estimates, and contract documents for construction.
