NOTE: This is a CORRECTED publication of material previously advertised
between 6 Dec 95 and 13 Dec 95. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This is an
advance selection of at least two, but up to three, A-E's in
anticipation of upcoming projects. Work and services may consist of
design of Air Force Air Field Paving Work, Hydrant Fueling Systems
Work, and Various Utility Work in support of the Seattle District's
assigned military design program in various fiscal years. An option for
construction support services, such as drawing and submittal review,
may be included in each contract. The projects will generally be in the
states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. This will be the only
announcement for the design of Air Field Paving Work, Hydrant Fueling
System Work and Various Utility Work for the Seattle District during
the next 12 months, unless a project is identified during that time
frame which has significantly different features from what is described
below. NOTE: This is an advanced selection in anticipation of upcoming
projects. The selection will remain open for 12 months after the date
the selection is approved. A separate firm-fixed-price contract will
be negotiated and awarded for each project. A list of at least three
firms will be selected. When a design authorization for the first
project of this type is received, negotiations will begin with the top
ranked firm. When authorization is received for a subsequent project,
or if negotiations with a firm for a project are unsuccessful,
negotiations will begin with the next ranked firm that has not been
offered a project for negotiation. If the list of ranked firms is
exhausted, the negotiation cycle will begin again with the top ranked
firm. None of the projects have been authorized for design and funds
are not presently available for any contracts. This announcement is
open to all businesses regardless of size. All interested Architect-
Engineers are reminded that in accordance with the provisions of PL
100-180, PL 95- 597 and PL 99-661, they will b expected to place
subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent consistent with the
efficient performance of the contract with small and small
disadvantaged firms. If a large business is selected for a contract it
must comply with the FAR 52.219- 9 clause regarding the requirement
for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to
subcontract. Of the work to be subcontracted it is recommended that 50
percent of the total planned subcontracting dollars be placed with
Small Business (SB) concerns, 8 percent with Small Disadvantaged
Businesses (SDB), or Historically Black Colleges and Universities or
minority Institutions, and 5 percent to Women-Owned Small Businesses
(WOSB's). WOSB's may not qualify as SDBs for federal contracts. A firm
that submits a plan with lesser goals must submit written rationale to
support goals submitted. The detailed plan is not required to be
submitted with SF 255 but will be prepared for each contract prior to
award. However, this eventual requirement should be taken into
consideration when assembling the teams for the SF 255. This work will
include all architectural-engineering and related services necessary
to complete the design and related services during the construction for
these projects. PROJECT INFORMATION: These contracts may include the
design of air field paving, hydrant fueling systems and various utility
work. An option for construction support services, such as drawing and
submittal review, may be included in each contract. Some projects may
require design in the metric system. Firms must be able to accept
project related work that requires comprehensive asbestos-lead surveys
and provides a design that will support the removal, demolition and
disposal of these and other hazardous materials in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations. Firms must also have the capability to
deal with corrosion protection design (NACE certified), be
knowledgeable of possible environmental issues and construction-
operational permitting, and have access to surveying and geotechnical
disciplines. Partnering on some projects may be required. The estimated
construction costs per project range from $1,000,000 to $20,000,000.
The selected AEs will be required to provide drawings on mylar, as well
as electronic data and, or be compatible with vectorized Autocad format
(latest version). SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed
belw in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and
then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-d are primary. Criteria e-g are
secondary and will only be used as ''tie-breakers'' among technically
equal firms. a. Specialized recent experience and technical competence
in design of hydrant fueling systems, runways, ramps and roads, and
various utility systems utilizing Air Force criteria. b. Qualified
professional personnel in the following key disciplines: project
management, electrical, mechanical (including fueling experience),
structural, civil, estimating and corrosion engineering, fire
suppression and pavement-material experience. c. Past performance of
DoD and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work,
compliance with performance schedules and ease of negotiations. d.
Capability of the firm to accomplish work in the required time frame
including professional qualifications of firm's staff and consultants
to be assigned to the projects which are necessary for satisfactory
performance in the required services. The breadth and size of a firm
will be considered to match the complexity-simplicity of the proposed
project. e. Volume of DoD contract awards in the last 12 months. f.
