This is a sources sought notice for small business concerns, as identified in FAR 19.102, and is NOT a request for proposal. A solicitation is not being issued at this time, and this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. This advertisement is seeking interested certified architectural and engineering firms that qualify as small businesses. Large businesses please do not respond. This announcement seeks information from the industry, which will be used for preliminary planning purposes only. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this notice. The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, Special Programs Division, is seeking possible sources to provide Architect-Engineer services under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541310, Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services - Architectural Services. The size standard associated with NAICS 541310 is $7 million, which means that a company, including its affiliates, would be considered a "small business" if their average annual gross receipts does not exceed $7 million for the past three years. If a company has not been in business for three years, the average weekly revenue for the number of weeks the company has been in business is multiplied by 52 to determine the average annual receipts. Scope of Work : GSA proposes to award one (1) firm-fixed- priced contract to perform architectural/engineering and related services for a new marine facility to be built in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, to support the requirements of the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP), Office of Air and Marine (OAM). The project includes, but is not limited to, the design of a 3,760 s.f. administrative building, a covered boat storage area, exterior vehicular parking, and security fencing for the entire perimeter of the site. The project shall also meet the "Gold" rating in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. The scope of the project will include, but not be limited to, design concepts, design development, construction documents, and final design submissions. Other services that may be required are site/topographic surveys, soil borings, fire protection/life safety analyses, etc. The former base is considered a Superfund site. This parcel has some environmental issues that have been identified by Phase I and II Environmental Assessment (EA) reports. These studies revealed the presence of contamination and estimates the level at which contaminated soils can be found. Taking this into consideration, the design shall be conceptualized to avoid excessive excavation in order to avoid soils decontamination and disposal processes. Additionally, these buildings will be built on a flood plain. The contractor will be required to work with the U.S. Government and the local Puerto Rico Government to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements and codes. The new facility will include security measures; therefore, previous experience with Federal security standards is desired.
