CONTRACT INFORMATION: A-E services are required for site investigation, planning, survey and geotech report (option), engineering studies, concept design, final design (option), and construction-phase services (option) for the subject project. Construction-phase services may include preparation of operation and maintenance manuals and shop drawing approval. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. A firm fixed-price contract will be negotiated. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in March 1997. If the selected firm is a large business, it will be required to submit a subcontracting plan with its fee proposal. For this procurement, a large business is a concern for which the annual average gross revenue taken for the last three (3) fiscal years exceeds $2.5 million. The plan must be consistent with Section 806(b) of PL 100-180, PL 95-507, PL 99-661 and FAR clause 52.219-9. If a large firm chooses to subcontract, it is recommended that 50 percent of the total planned subcontracting dollars should 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 Businesses (WOSB). WOSB's may not qualify as SDBs for federal contracts. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: This project will design an out-patient medical clinic, medical logistics facility, and War Reserve Medical (WRM) storage facility of approximately 8700 gross square meters (gsm) and demolish several existing substandard buildings. Supporting facilities include water, sewer, natural gas, HVAC, electric service, security, lighting, parking, storm drainage, communication and information systems, and general site improvements. Project will be designed in accordance with: MIL-HDBK-1191, DoD Medical and Dental Treatment Facilities Design and Construction Criteria; Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS); and Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Gidelines (ADAAG). The design will be prepared in the metric system of measurement. Construction cost estimates will be prepared on IBM-compatible personal computers using Corps of Engineers (COE) Computer-Aided Cost Estimating System (MCACES) (software provided by Government) or similar software. Design drawings will be produced in a format fully compatible with Mircostation 32 Version 4.0.3 or higher. Specifications will be produced in SPECSINTACT using COE Military Construction Guide Specifications. Responses to Government design review comments will be provided on the COE Automated Review Management System (ARMS). 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for general selection process. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each subcriterion). Criteria ''a'' through ''e'' are primary. Criteria ''f'' through ''g'' are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers between technically equal firms. a. Specialized experience and technical competence of the firm and consultants in: (1) Design of medical facilities. (2) Life safety and fire protection design of medical facilities. (3) Knowledge of locality of the project including geologic features, climatic conditions, and local construction methods. (4) Use of automated design systems described above (MCACES, CADD, SPECSINTACT and ARMS). b. Qualified professional personnel in the following key disciplines: project management; medical facility planning; architecture; mechanical, electrical, fire protection, structural, civil and communication engineering; cost estimating; certified industrial hygienist; medical equipment planning; interior design; and operation and maintenance systems. Registered professionals are required in the following disciplines: architecture; mechanical, electrical, fire protection, structural, and civil engineering. The evaluation will consider education, training, registration, overall and relevant experience, and longevity with the firm. c. Experience producing quality medical designs based on an evaluation of a firm's design quality management plan (DQMP). The DQMP should include an organization chart and briefly address management approach, team organization, quality control procedures, cost control, value engineering, coordination of in-house disciplines and subcontractors, and prior experience of the prime firm and any significant consultants on similar projects. d. Past performance on DoD and other contracts with respect to quality of work, cost control, and compliance with performance schedules. e. Capacity to complete the concept design (35 percent) by August 1997 and the final design by August 1998. The evaluation will consider the experience of the firm and any consultants in similar-size projects, and the availability of an adequate number of personnel in key disciplines. f. Extent of participation of small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, historically Black colleges and universities, and minority institutions in the proposed contract team, measured as a percentage of the total estimated effort. g.
