Miller at: (402) 221-4176. Request a correction to the CBD synopsis. The solicitation which read: DACA45-95-B-0036 should be corrected to read: DACA45-95-R-0036. This amendment makes the following changes to the original solicitation which appeared in the CBD issue of February 16, 1995: (1) Delete the CONTRACT INFORMATION section in the original solicitation and substitute the following: CONTRACT INFORMATION: A-E services are expected to be required for the design of this type of project within the Omaha District. Services required may include site investigations, studies, reports, concept design, final design, and construction phase services. A separate firm-fixed-price contract will be negotiated for each project. A list of most highly qualified and technically equal firms for this type of project will be established based on evaluation criteria (a) through (c). When a project of this type is authorized, the list will be ranked in order of qualifications based on evaluation criteria (d) through (g) and negotiations will begin with the top ranked firm. Firms awarded contracts under this solicitation will not be considered for ranking again until all firms on the list of most qualified firms have been offered contracts. Firms will be selected for this type project from the list established under this solicitation for the next 12 months. No projects of this type are currently authorized for design and funds are not presently available for any contracts (see FAR 52.232-18). The Omaha District may establish a design partnership for any projects awarded under this solicitation. If a design partnership is to be established, the A-E will attend a one-day partnering meeting prior to negotiation to define Omaha District expectations of the A-E, create a positive working atmosphere, encourage open communication and identify common goals. Greater emphasis will also be placed on the A-E's quality control proceedures. The District will not review Quality into the design. The A-E selected for an individual project under this solicitation must submit for approval a project-specific design quality control plan as a condition of contract award. This plan is not required with this submittal. If a large business is selected for a project under this solicitation, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to contract. This plan is not required with this submittal. The subcontracting goals for this contract are that a minimum of 28% of the contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), and 8% be placed with SDB. (2) Delete item (e) in the SELECTION CRITERIA section of the original solicitation and substitute the following: (e) Location and knowledge of the locality of the project. (3) All other information remains unchanged, including the closing date of March 20, 1995. (0052)
