C -- INDEFINITE QUANTITY CONTRACT FOR ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SERVICES FOR MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL PROJECTS AT NAVAL AIR STATION, WHIDBEY ISLAND, OAK HARBOR, WASHINGTON SOL N44255-95-D-6187 POC Ms. Val Vitacolonna, Contract Specialist,(360)396-0267, Mr. Patrick Donnelly, Contracting Officer. DESCRIPTION: Firm fixed-price Architect-Engineer services are required for an indefinite quantity type contract to support the Public Works Engineering Division at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington for prepraration of engineering studies, analyses, reports and cost estimates as designated on individual delivery orders, preparation of final plans, specifications, and cost estimates for designated construction projects, and preparation of working drawings, cost estimates and descriptive text for projects to be accomplished by shop forces. This contract will be for mechanical/electrical projects. During the performance of this contract, asbestos, hazardous materials/waste, or pollution abatement may be encountered. The Government will require preparation of specifications using the ''SPECSINTACT'' or equivalent system and submission of the specifications shall be accompanied by electronic storage media. Drawings will be submitted in AUTOCAD Version 12 compatible format in accordance with Military Handbook 1006/7. SELECTION CRITERIA: Prioritized selection criteria in descending order of importance are: (1) Professional qualifications of the staff to be assigned to this project, including subconsultants, and their respective vocational background in the design of the types of facilities discussed in criteria (2) below. List only the team members who will actually perform major tasks under these projects. Qualifications should reflect the individual's potential contributions to the projects. In Block 4 of the SF-255 (Personnel by Discipline) show the entire proposed team by listing personnel employed by the prime in the blanks provided and personnel from consultants to the left in parentheses. In Block 7 of the SF-255 indicate branch office location of each team member including key consultant's personnel. (2) Recent specialized experience and technical competence of the firm (including consultants) in the past 5 years in repair, maintenance, upgrade, and alteration projects in the following work areas: (a) MECHANICAL DISCIPLINE: heating, ventilating, and air conditioning; exterior distribution of compressed air, steam, and natural gas; cathodic protection; fire protection systems; jet fuel storage and distribution; direct digital control systems; boilers; and air compressors. (b) ELECTRICAL DISCIPLINE: exterior electricity distribution, transformation, and protection (12.47KV and below); building interior wiring and lighting; fire alarm systems; airfield lighting and control; emergency generators; 400 cycle power generation and distribution; power conditioning; uninterruptilbe power supplies; and intrusion detection systems. It is estimated that the Indefinite Quantity contract will be split equally between mechanical and electrical projects. The first four work areas listed above for both the mechanical and electrical disciplines have equal weighting value. Projects may be located in aircraft hangars, barracks, training, administrative, specialized military facilities, and outside, subgrade, or above ground. Major importance will be placed on integrating new designs with old existing buildings and equipment. Experience with life safety codes, fire codes, hazardous waste abatement, environmental regulations and their relationships to mechanical and electrical design issues should be shown. Familiarity and routine use of CAD system compatible with AUTOCAD Version 12 should be shown. Do not list more than 10 projects in Block 8 of the SF 255; projects listed should have been completed within the last five years. Indicate which consultants from the proposed team, if any, participated in the design of each project. (3) Design Quality Control Program. Provide information describing the quality control program and key procedures including coordination of subcontractor's quality control program. Include documentation that demonstrates successful application of the quality control program for previous projects similar to those discussed in criteria (2) above. (4) Past performance on contracts of a similar nature, as discussed in criteria (2) above, with government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control and compliance with performance schedules. Show representative examples of bid prices compared to A/E estimates on recent projects from the planning stage to bid. Show cost control measures taken and office procedures used to ensure design is within boundary limits. List the results of 3 to 5 projects of the projects identified in response to criteria (2) above. List experience with line item cost estimates prepared using R. S. Means Company, Inc., Facilities Constrution Cost Data Manual. List recent awards, commendations and other performance evaluations. (5) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time limits of each project. Demonstrate the ability to complete several complex multidisciplinary delivery orders concurrently (i.e. the impact of this workload on the firm's permanent staff, projected workload during the contract period, the firm's history of successfully completing work in compliance with performance schedules, and the firm's history of providing timely submittals). Indicate the firm's present workload and the availability of the project team (including consultants) for the specified contract period. (6) Knowledge of the locality of the project. Demonstrate knowledge of the locality of the areas included in this contract. (7) Demonstrated success in prescribing the use of recovered materials and in achieving waste reduction and energy efficiency in facility design. *** Note: Criteria numbers (8) through (10) shall be used as secondary evaluation factors should the application of criteria numbers (1) through (7) result in firms being ranked as equals. *** (8) Location of the firm in the general geographic area, provided that the application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of firms given the nature and size of this project. (9) Use of small or disadvantaged or women-owned business firms as primary consultants or as subcontractors (10) Volume of work previously awarded by the DoD to the firm. This information shall be recorded in Block 9 of the SF-255 by listing the total amount of prime DoD fees awarded for the previous 12 months.
