(a DD Form 1391 Plus is preparation of basic project documentation
including the DD Form 1391; a PCE is enhancement of basic
documentation, and includes economic analyses of alternatives and
estimated utilities impacts), plans, specifications, cost estimates,
related studies, all associated engineering services, shop drawing
review, as-built drawing preparation, Quality Assurance Plan (QAP)
preparation (provides construction contract inspection requirements),
Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI), construction
inspection and engineering consultation services during construction
for Industrial/Operational Facilities and Utilities Projects in North
Carolina. The Government will reserve an option to negotiate final
plans, specifications, cost estimates, related studies, all associated
engineering services, and all post construction award services.
Thecontract includes the preparation of cost data using the NAVFAC
"SUCCESS" system in work breakdown structure (WBS), DD Forms 1391,
Witness Data and site plan preparation formatted in a preliminary
engineering documentation. The work may also include surveying, soil
borings, hazardous materials identification, and energy computations.
The preliminary engineering document forms the basis of cost and scope
programming for Congressional submission or budget adjustments.
Projects can be categorized as Industrial/Operational Facilities and
Utilities and shall include, but not be limited to: aircraft
maintenance hangars, aircraft control towers, vehicle/aircraft
maintenance facilities, warehouses, and public works shops to perform
functions such as vehicle and equipment maintenance and repair;
fabrication of metal components painting, stripping, corrosion control,
blasting and finishing; maintenance, calibration and repair of
electronics, pipefitting/rigging, carpenter shops, etc.; utility
improvements; waste treatment facilities; and electronics facilities.
Firms responding to the announcement must show a range of experience
consistent with this description and consistent with the evaluation
factors provided below. Firms are required to prepare the cost estimate
utilizing the NAVFAC "SUCCESS" system in work breakdown structure
(WBS), the specifications in the SPECSINTACT system format, and all

importance and will be used as "tie-breakers" among technically equal
firms. Specific evaluation factors include: (1) Specialized Experience
-- Firms will be evaluated in terms of: (a) their past experience with
regard to the design of (1) Aircraft Stripping/Cleaning facilities, (2)
air traffic control towers, and (3) other industrial/operational
facilities such as maintenance hangars, warehouses, electronics
facilities, maintenance shops, industrial waste treatment facilities,
chemical processing facilities and utility support systems; (b)
design/construction experience and knowledge of local codes, laws,
permits and construction materials and practices of North Carolina; (c)
experience with designing facilities using the metric system of
measurement as required by the NAVFAC Metrication Conversion Policy for
Design, Planning andDesign Criteria, and NAVFAC Guide Specifications;
(d) the firm's experience in providing construction phase services
(shop drawing review, as-built drawing preparation, Quality Assurance
Plan (QAP) preparation, construction inspection services, and OMSI);
and (e) their past experience in the preparation of design/build
contracts; (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 including
registration 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 provide qualified backup staffing
for key personnel to ensure continuity of services and ability to
surge to meet unexpected project demands; and (d) organization and
office management as evidenced by management approach (management plan
for this project), and personnel roles in organization; (3)
Sustainable Design -- Firms will be evaluated in terms of their
knowledge and demonstrated experience in applying sustainability
concepts and principles to facilities and infrastructure problems
through an integrated design approach; (4) Ability to perform work to
schedules and capacity to accomplish a variation of 5 taskings
simultaneously -- Firms will be evaluated in terms of impact of this
workload on the design staff's projected workload during the contract
period; (5) Past performance -- Firms will be evaluated in terms of one
or more of the following (with emphasis on projects addressed in factor
number one): (a) the process for cost control and the key person
responsible; and (b) performance ratings/letters of recommendations
received; (6) Quality Control Program -- Firms will be evaluated on the
acceptability of their internal quality control program used to ensure
