Description

The United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division (AMD) intends to negotiate a firm fixed price contract, on a sole source basis, with Summer Consultants, Inc. for the procurement of Post Construction Award Services (PCAS) for the building 302 Major Equipment Replacement project.� The statutory authority for this sole source acquisition is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 6.302-1. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Central Utility Plant, Steam Boilers 5 and 6 have exceeded their useful life and need to be replaced.� Emergency repairs completed during the last few winters took the boilers out of service, leaving no backup steam generating capacity.� Replacement of the boilers will restore the reliability of the Central Plant steam generating capacity and ensure there is adequate backup steam generating capacity in the event of equipment failure. In 2018, NIST solicited proposals from all mechanical and electrical Architect-Engineer (A-E) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) awardees, the scope of which includes providing specialized mechanical and electrical design for the Central Utility Plant, to perform design services for the replacement of steam boilers in the CUP; the solicitation also included an option for PCAS services.� Technical evaluations and award recommendations were made based upon the entire scope of work which included optional PCAS services.� As a result of that competition, a NIST Contracting Officer awarded Task Order SB1341-14-CQ-0023/1333ND18FNB190267 to Summer Consulting, Inc., UEI# FQSENZ2KJDZ8.� Through that task order, the Contractor performed A-E design services and prepared plans and specifications to be utilized by a construction contractor however, due to funding limitations, NIST did not award a construction contract and the design Task Order was closed out prior to exercising the option for PCAS services.� Now that funds have become available, the OFPM requires an A-E firm to provide PCAS during construction that will rely upon the design prepared by Summer Consultants, Inc. and provided to NIST under Task Order No. SB1341-14-CQ-0023/1333ND18FNB190267.� The State of Maryland requires Professional Engineers to stamp/seal and sign drawings, and because Summer Consultants, Inc. is the designer of record, NIST seeks to contract with them to source to provide the required PCAS services.� The PCAS Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials and expertise needed to perform the required services which includes:� On-site construction observation and inspection. Resolving design issues that may arise during construction.� Attending bi-weekly construction progress meetings. Reviewing �submittals, shop drawings, material samples, test reports and manufacturer certifications. Providing consultation (Field and In-Office) to the appointed Contracting Officer�s Representative (COR). Providing draft responses related to construction Requests for Information (RFI�s), along with cost estimates as may be requested by NIST. Preparing drawings and specifications related to possible contract modifications.� Traveling associated with the field visits to the construction site. Performing field inspections and submitting reports. Performing inspection services and preparing punch lists as necessary. Supporting and coordinating the commissioning of steam boilers. Preparing and submitting as-built record drawings. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541330 and the size standard is $25.5 Million. No solicitation package will be issued.� This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all responsible sources interested may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by established due date/time set forth in this notice. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to richard.stevens@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored.�� A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
