factors provided below. Firms are required to prepare the cost estimate
utilizing the computerized CES, the specifications in the SPECSINTACT
system format, and all drawings shall be submitted in an AutoCAD
compatibleformat. The design contract scope may require evaluation and
definition of asbestos materials and toxic waste disposition. Fee
negotiations would provide for laboratory testing and subsequent
preparation of plans and specifications may requiredefinition of
removal and/or definition of disposal process. Firms responding to this
announcement must be prepared to accept the aforementioned as a part of

design of aircraft related facilities, hangars, airfield
infrastructure, runways, taxiways andaprons; (b) their past experience
in the design of airfield pavement using recognized tools such as
non-destructive testing, pavement condition indexes from PAVER,
computer prediction models, and geotechnical investigations; (c)
experience withdesigning facilities using the metric system of
measurement as required by the NAVFAC Metrication Conversion Policy for
Design, Planning and Design Criteria, and NAVFAC Guide Specifications;
(d) the firm's experience in providing construction phaseservices
(shop drawing review, as-built drawing preparation, Quality Assurance
Plan (QAP) preparation, construction inspection services, and OMSI);
and (e) knowledge of local codes, laws, permits and construction
practices of North Carolina and Virginiawith experience in preparation
of permits in these areas; (2) Professional qualifications and
technical competence in the type of work required: Firms will be
evaluated in terms of the design staff's: (a) active professional
registration includingregistration in North Carolina in order to sign
and seal permit applications; (b) experience (with present and other
firms) and roles of staff members specifically on projects addressed in
evaluation factor number one; (c) capability to providequalified backup
staffing for key personnel to ensure continuity of services and ability
to surge to meet unexpected project demands; and (d) organization and

for this project), andpersonnel roles in organization; (3) Ability to
perform work to schedules and capacity to accomplish a variation of 5
taskings simultaneously - Firms will be evaluated in terms of impact
