- Description
- The purpose of this announcement is to request updated and new Architect-Engineer (AE) qualification information for the USDA Forest Service Eastern Region, AE Short Selection List. WHAT IS THE SHORT SELECTION LIST USED FOR? The Forest Service utilizes the Short Selection List to award AE contracts, valued at less than the simplified acquisition threshold, in all states included within the Forest Service Eastern Region including the states of, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Although the primary user of the list will be the Forest Service, any USDA office located in the Forest Service Eastern Region boundaries may use the list. The shortlist will contain all of the unexpired submissions from previous announcements and all qualified, interested AE firms that respond to this announcement. Examples of the types of work that may be awarded using the short selection list include: bridge and large culvert design, road and trail bridge inspections, culvert inspections, low volume road design, design of small warehouses and offices, historic preservation, rehabs to improve energy efficiency and safety concerns, energy audits and studies, design of repairs to small dams and impoundments, design of photovoltaic and other renewable energy systems, LEED consulting, design of HVAC systems, design of electrical systems and lighting, water and waste water system design, performance of sanitary inspections for water systems, safety inspections for bridges and dams, construction inspection, drafting services, surveying (construction and property), geotechnical investigation, and environmental (RCRA, CECRLA, CWA, etc.) investigations, reviews, inventories, audits and coordination of RCRA and other waste disposal. This list is not all-inclusive. WHAT IS THE SHORT SELECTION PROCESS? The Short Selection Process utilizes the procedures set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36.602-5. For AE projects with an estimated total fee under the simplified acquisition threshold (see FAR Part 2.101), agencies may use current data files for eligible AE firms to perform a technical review and evaluation in order to determine the 3 most highly qualified firms for the project. Discussions are then held with the 3 firms to determine the best qualified firm for that particular project. A price proposal will be requested from the highest technically rated firm. If a reasonable price cannot be negotiated, discussions will be held with the second best qualified firm, and so on. AE data files will be maintained by State and NAICS code. The AE's professional qualifications for satisfactory performance of the required services (FAR 36.602-1(a)(1) and the firm's geographic proximity and knowledge of the local area (FAR 36.602-1(a)(5)) as identified on the AE's SF330 and supplemental information, will be used for the first preliminary screening of firms when a large list of potential firms exist. All acquisitions utilizing the short selection list shall be set-aside for small business concerns unless requirements cannot be met by a small business and the Contracting Officer obtains a proper waiver. WHAT DOES MY FIRM NEED TO SUBMIT TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY AND RECEIVE CONSIDERATION FOR FUTURE AE PROJECTS? All information shall be submitted on a CD/DVD capable of being read utilizing Windows 7 and 10 operating systems. Information shall be stored on the CD/DVD as a single *.pdf file no larger than 15 MB in size. Hardcopy or emailed data will not be filed or considered. Only the first thirty (30) pages of your proposal will be considered and retained. The following information shall be submitted as part of the thirty (30) page limit: 1. A cover letter should precede your other data. The letter should outline the work your firm specializes in and include a brief description of your firm's capabilities specifically related to the project examples stated above.
