C -- A-E SERVICES FOR HOUSING PROJECTS AT MARINE CORPS COMBAT DEVELOPMENT CENTER, QUANTICO, VA; MARINE CORPS AIR STATION, CHERRY POINT, NC; & MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC SOL N62470-96-R-8033 POC Contact Miss Bayla Mack, 804-322-8271/Mr. Dean Koepp, Head, Contract Support Branch, 804-322-8270 Architect-Engineer, Planning and/or Engineering Services are required for projects relating to the revitalization of military family housing units and neighborhoods as part of the Military Family Housing Neighborhood of Excellence Program.ensive Neighborhood Plans (CNPs) will be developed for all neighborhoods at the Marine Corps Combat Development Center, Quantico, Virginia and at the Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, North Carolina; and an option will be negotiated for a CNP atthe Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The objective of a CNP is to provide a comprehensive analysis of all the Military Family Housing (MFH) areas of a base which will include both the housing units and the neighborhoods. It is theGovernment's intention to provide housing units comparable in design and amenities to contemporary standards and to those found in the private sector. The housing neighborhoods should be aesthetically pleasing, have appropriate infrastructure andfamily support facilities (such as community centers, self-help stores, etc.) and be consistent with the elements such as signage, color schemes, etc., that are either identified in a comprehensive base plan (such as the Base Exterior Architecture Plan(BEAP) or Activity master plan) or are compatible with prevailing architecture and styles of the surrounding private sector community (if the MFH area is located off base). When developing a CNP, consideration shall be given to future family populationestimates, expected demand for MFH, and family composition in order to adapt the inventory to future needs as much as practicable. The CNPs shall identify specific deficiencies and needs for the MFH projects. Based on the CNPs, the Bases will be ableto accurately program the projects necessary to bring their whole housing areas, both individual units and neighborhoods, up to contemporary standards. The types of services required for development of the CNPs include, but are not limited to:performance of inspections, selective site work, surveying, other related studies, cost estimates; development of planning documents and recommendations based on the foregoing; preparation of sketches, floor plans, elevations, site plans, landscapeplans, and renderings; technical plans and specifications and associated engineering services as may be required. The work may also include soil borings, hazardous materials identification, and energy computations. Options will be established fordesign of phased construction projects to implement the recommendations developed in the CNPs, and post construction award (PCAS) services including, but not limited to: shop drawing review and as-built drawing preparation. The options for designsdeveloped for construction contracts may include general building renovation work, i.e., repair/replacement of roofs, windows, doors; building alterations and additions, and construction of new facilities; and conduct of Life Cycle Cost Analyses andLife Safety Code Analyses. The Government will reserve the option to negotiate Quality Assurance (QAP) preparation (provides construction contract inspection requirements), and the preparation of Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI)after each construction contract award. The work includes the preparation of cost data using the Naval Facilities Engineering Command's (NAVFACENGCOM) Computer Estimating System (CES), preparation of DD Forms 1391, preparation of preliminaryengineering documentation; specifications shall be developed using the SPECSINTACT system format. The preliminary engineering document forms the basis of cost and scope programming for submission of projects for Congressional approval. DigitalGraphics database of any site survey will be required. Surveys, and all other drawings forming a part of this contract, shall be submitted in an AutoCAD compatible format, either .DXF or .DWG, on DOS high density floppy disks. The design option scopesmay require evaluation and definition of asbestos materials and toxic waste disposition. Fee negotiations will provide for laboratory testing, and subsequent preparation of plans and specifications may require definition of removal and/or definition ofdisposal process. Firms responding to this announcement must be prepared to accept the aforementioned as a part of their contract responsibility.
