Description

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FOR PROCUREMENT OF ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING (A/E) SERVICES: This is a request for Standard Form 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications only. A-E Services are being procured in accordance with the Selection of Architects and Engineers Statute (Public Law 92-582), formerly known as the Brooks Act, and implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 36.6. All submissions will be evaluated in accordance with the below selection criteria. The Government will not pay, nor reimburse, any costs associated with responding to this request. The Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. Firms will be selected based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. Any resulting award for the proposed A/E services will be procured under a negotiated Firm-Fixed Price contract. The NAICS Code for this acquisition is 541690, Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services, and the applicable Small Business Size Standard is $15.0 million annual revenue. During performance, the selected A/E firm will be required to attend meetings and conduct studies/evaluations in person, on site, at the Hampton VA Medical Center, Hampton, Virginia. Therefore, the area of consideration is RESTRICTED to a maximum 250-mile radius of the Hampton VA Medical Center, 100 Emancipation Drive, Hampton, Virginia 23667 in which either the A/E firm s Primary or established Auxiliary/Satellite office must be located. NOTE: The 250-mile radius will be measured by one or more of the nationally recognized commercial free on-line mapping services from the Primary or established Auxiliary/Satellite Office Address to the above VA address (shortest driving distance option). Proximity of the firm s assigned office, to the project site, including within the 250-mile radius, is one of the criteria on which selection of the most highly qualified firms will be based. Interested parties shall ensure current licensing to provide engineering services in accordance with the State regulations of Virginia, and shall have a current registration in: (1.) the System for Award Management (SAM) database at https://www.sam.gov, (2.) and the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database at http://www.va.gov/osdbu, if applicable, and (3.) have submitted the current cycle VETS-4212 Report at http://www.dol.gov/vets/programs/fcp/main.htm (for contracts in the amount of $150,000.00 or more). Failure of a proposed (SDVOSB or VOSB to be certified by the CVE, in the VIP database) at the time the SF 330 is submitted shall result in ineligibility for evaluation preference under VAAR provision 852.215-70 and VAAR provision 852.215-71. PROJECT INFORMATION: Project No. 590-18-105 HRSD Infiltration and Inflow Project Hampton VA Medical Center 100 Emancipation Drive Hampton, Virginia 23667 **SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT OF WORK. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The A/E services contractor shall provide engineering services for Project 590-18-105, HRSD Infiltration and Inflow Project. The project requires use of an existing GIS database, and a Preliminary Flow, Pressure and Rainfall (FPR) Monitoring Plan being procured separately, to complete Milestones 3 through 8 of the HRSD Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) Compliance Milestones for the Hampton VA Medical Center (Hampton VAMC) in Hampton, Virginia. All work will be carried out in compliance with the Federal Facility Technical Standards and the Infiltration/Inflow Order (I/I Order) issued by the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) to the Hampton VAMC. The estimated time to complete all work, given the milestone due dates set by HRSD, is anticipated to be 720 days from issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP) work under the contract. **SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT OF WORK. DESIGN COSTS: FAR 52.236-22 Design Within Funding Limitations, is not applicable to this contract requirement for engineering services. There is little or no design effort involved in this project related to construction of real property and no construction project is anticipated directly related to any designs originating under this project (see FAR 36.609-1(c)(3)). The scope of this project does not include the development of any specific design(s) to construct or modify real property. SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE: This request for A-E firm qualifications packages is 100% set-aside for small business concerns under FAR subpart 19.5. The rule of two was not met during market research, for a set-aside under the Veterans First Contracting Program (38 U.S.C. 8127 and 38 U.S.C. 8128), or other socioeconomic set-aside categories prioritized above small businesses. LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING: In accordance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting and 13 CFR 125.6(a)(1), for services (except construction), a small business agrees that, in the performance of the contract, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern. SDVOSBs or VOSBs claiming evaluation preference under VAAR 852.215-70 (see below and VAAR 852.215-71, also below) shall comply with the requirements of 13 CFR 125.6(b)(1). VAAR 852.215-70, SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED AND VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS EVALUATION FACTORS: In an effort to achieve socioeconomic small business goals, depending on the evaluation factors included in the solicitation, VA shall evaluate offerors based on their service-disabled Veteran-owned or Veteran-owned small business status and their proposed use of eligible service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses and Veteran-owned small businesses as subcontractors. Eligible service-disabled Veteran-owned offerors will receive full credit, and offerors qualifying as Veteran-owned small businesses will receive partial credit for the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned and Veteran-owned Small Business Status evaluation factor. To receive credit, an offeror must be registered and verified in Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database (https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov). Non-Veteran offerors proposing to use service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses or Veteran-owned small businesses as subcontractors will receive some consideration under this evaluation factor. Offerors must state in their proposals the names of the SDVOSBs and VOSBs with whom they intend to subcontract and provide a brief description of the proposed subcontracts and the approximate dollar values of the proposed subcontracts. In addition, the proposed subcontractors must be registered and verified in the VetBiz.gov VIP database (https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov).

The SF 330 form may be downloaded from https://www.gsa.gov/reference/forms, and is also provided as an attachment to this notice. Completed SF 330 shall include the primary firms, subcontractor firms, and any consultants expected to be used on the project. Interested firms shall address each of the Eight (8) Selection Criteria in their SF 330 s and additional documents/submittals. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THERE ARE NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE. This is a request for SF 330, Architect/Engineer Qualifications packages only. Any requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. EVALUATION METHOD: Identification of the most highly qualified firms will occur by using the following rating methodology and the above selection criteria. The number of firms identified by the evaluation board as the most highly qualified will be determined based on the responses received. Where three (3) or more responses are received from qualified firms, a minimum of three (3) firms will be identified as the most highly qualified. If less than three (3) responses are received from qualified firms, then only those firms that are qualified will be considered, or the requirement may be re-advertised. SF330 packages rated as marginal or unacceptable (see below) for any one criteria, or more than one criteria, may be removed from consideration as that firm may not represent a qualified firm for the purposes of this procurement. The excluded firm(s) will not be counted towards the tally of three (3) responses, or three (3) qualified firms, described above. Each of the eight (8) criteria will be assigned one of the ratings shown below, based on a consensus rating of the board s evaluation of the response. The weights for each of the criteria are identified above. A total weighted score will be calculated by multiplying the individual criterion ratings by the criteria weights, and then summing the individual criteria scores. The highest possible total score is 300, excluding evaluation preferences. Outstanding: Criterion response suggests the firm has a high-level of demonstrated competence and/or qualifications relevant to the requirement, and/or the capacity to perform the work. For location, an outstanding rating will be assigned to a firm operating from within the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. This rating will be applied where no record of significant claims can be identified. An outstanding project management plan is one that addresses all planning requirements of each milestone, in the required format, and suggests a high-level of competence with regard to the work to be performed. Rating Value: 3 Good: Criterion response suggests the firm has a moderate level of demonstrated competence and/or qualifications relevant to the requirement, and/or the capacity to perform the work. For location, a good rating will be assigned to a firm within the required radius, but operating from outside the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. This rating will not be used regarding records of significant claims. A good project management plan is one that addresses all planning requirements of each milestone, in the required format, and suggests an average-level of competence with regard to the work to be performed. Rating Value: 2 Marginal: Criterion response suggests the firm has limited demonstrated competence and/or qualifications relevant to the requirement, and/or limited capacity to perform the work. For location, a marginal rating will not be used. This rating will not be used regarding records of significant claims. A marginal project management plan is one that does not address all planning requirements of each milestone, in the required format, and/or suggests a limited-level of competence with regard to the work to be performed. Rating Value: 1 Unacceptable: Criterion response suggests the firm is unqualified for this requirement, and/or lacks the capacity to perform the work. For location, an unacceptable response is one received from a firm operating from outside the required radius, identified above. This rating will be used when a record of significant claims has been identified. An unacceptable project management plan is one that is significantly deficient in addressing the format outlined in the criteria. Rating Value: 0
