Cremer, Contract Specialist, (202) 219-8706. This project is for design and, at the option of the U.S. Department of Labor, construction administration services for the replacement of antiquated heating and cooling systems and upgrades of electrical services and distribution systems in Buildings 1, D-8 and D-9. All work is at the Clearfield Job Corps Center, in Clearfield, Utah. The GSF involved is approximately 293,000 gross square feet. The estimated cost range for construction is $1 million to $5 million and the maximum allowable time for design is 32 calendar weeks. Only those firms capable of design within this timeframe should apply. Minimum principal disciplines required for this project are: Architectural, Mechanical (plumbing and HVAC), Electrical, and Asbestos. Submission of the SF-254 and SF-255 is required for the prime firms, if applicable. (NOTE: The SF-254 and SF-255 have been revised as of 11/92.) The revised forms delete the obsolete definition of ``Architect/Engineer and related services'' and refer to the definition as stated in Part 36 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The SF-254's and SF-255's are required to be submitted even if they are currently on file. Facsimile copies will not be accepted. Only those firms which submit the required forms by the deadline above will be considered for review of qualifications. Failure to submit both SF-254's and SF-255's will render the submission unacceptable. Pertinent factors for consideration of qualifications, listed in order of importance are: (1) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services; (2) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required; (3) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time; (4) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. Applicants are required to include a list of three references with telephone numbers and names of contact persons with their submittal; and (5) Location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project. Preference for location is in the following descending order: (a) Local firms; (b) In-State firms; and (c) Out-of-State Firms. Applicants should include the solicitation number of the CBD Notice with the location/area name in Block No. 1 of the SF-255. Women-owned and Minority-owned firms are encouraged to participate. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The SIC Code is 8712 and the Small Business Size Standard is $2.5 million. The firm should indicate in Block No. 10 of the SF-255 that it is a small business concern as defined in the FAR. This is not a request for proposals. See Numbered Note(s): 1. (089)
