- Description
- The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Rocky Mountain Region announces an opportunity for design excellence in the mechanical engineering professions. Highly qualified firms who are committed to the principles of engineering in design, development, and utilization of machines, materials, instruments, structures, processes, and systems are invited to compete as prime engineering professional or as a sub-contractor/consultant to a prime engineering professional on one or more of the “short-listed” teams. Brooks Act (PL 92-582) “qualifications-based” procedures and FAR Part 36 will be used in these contract procurements. This is not a request for proposal. GSA intends to award up to three (3) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Mechanical-Engineering (M-E) contracts for use in issuing subsequent contract delivery orders for projects located within the Rocky Mountain Region, covering Colorado, Montana, Utah, South Dakota, North Dakota and Wyoming, but will primarily consist of projects along the Colorado Front Range. All procurements are set-aside for Small Business concerns. A “Small Business” for and engineering is defined as one in which average gross receipts for prior three years does not exceed $14.0 million.” The prime contract M-E Firm must have an active production office located within the geographic area in which it seeks contract award at least 90 days prior to the date of this Notice and be a fully licensed business entity in the state of Colorado. “M-E Firm” is defined as the legal entity having prime contractual responsibility to GSA for delivery of services. At least one of the firms must satisfy this geographic area requirement for a production office in order to qualify for consideration if the M-E Firm is a partnership, association, joint venture or other legal entity comprise of more than one firm. “Active production office” is defined as “an office where M-E services are routinely and regularly provided - not a marketing or construction site office.” In developing the complete team of consultants required for this solicitation, those offerors selected for the short list are advised that the mechanical engineers must also be located within the state of Colorado. Each contract will consist of a one (1) year base contract period and four (4) consecutive one-year contract renewal option periods. Each of the one year options may be unilaterally exercised by GSA. A guaranteed minimum fee of $1,000 shall apply to the base contract year. There is no guaranteed minimum fee for contract option years. The maximum total annual fee from all delivery orders issued under each contract shall not exceed $1 million per year. Projects designed under delivery orders to these IDIQ contracts will typically have a construction cost below the Prospectus limitation ($2.7 million for FY2013). GSA’s program objectives for these contracts are to: 1) provide M-E services for repair and alteration (R&A) projects within the Region 8 states; 2) supplement GSA’s in-house technical staff by using the contract M-E as an extension of GSA’s staff; and 3) provide GSA access to expert consulting services for a variety of tasks and building projects. GSA will require the use of Masterspec, which is the authorized master guide specification for GSA, Public Building Service. Each awardee will be required to purchase the latest update of Masterspec, including those divisions written specifically for GSA at their firm’s expense. The type of building design and construction projects on which the services of these contracts are contemplated to be used includes: roofing repairs or replacement; window repairs and replacement; masonry re-pointing, caulking and cleaning; installation, repair, or replacement of HVAC equipment; installation, repair or replacement of electrical systems; installation, repair or replacement of water supply and drainage systems; installation, repair or replacement of energy management systems, electronic security and fire alarm systems; installation, repair, or modification of fire sprinkler systems; installation, repair or replacement of elevators and escalators. Other services and deliverables which may be contracted for using these contracts include the provision of advise, preparation of feasibility studies, program development studies (PDS), building evaluation reports (BERs), preparation of preliminary and final plans and designs, provision of technical services during the construction or installation phase, inspection and evaluation of engineering projects and related services. The M-E Firm shall include on its team the following design disciplines: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, structural engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering, construction engineering, and engineers’ office.
