Description

Subject to availability funds, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico (SNL/NM) intends to contract for Construction Management (CM) Services for the Microsystems and Engineering Sciences Applications (MESA) project. The MESA Project will create a new unique cleanroom facility, light labs and workspaces to support integrated microsystems R&D and production. The preliminary cost estimate for the construction of the facilities is approximately $125M and approximately $117M for process tool purchases and installations. The complex is anticipated to consist of approximately 377,000 gross square feet (gsf) of space to house approximately 650 people to perform research and development activities. The MESA complex is anticipated to comprise of the following: Microsystems Fabrication (microFab) of approximately 95,000 gsf of microelectronics class 10 cleanroom and cleanroom support space to accommodate semiconductor process tools. Microsystems Laboratory (microLab) of approximately 128,000 gsf of microelectronics light laboratory and workspaces. Weapons Integration Facility (WIF) of approximately 153,000 gsf of light electronic laboratory and computational/visualization laboratories, and workspaces. Upgrades to selected mechanical support systems in the existing Building 858 Cleanroom. Infrastructure, Mall, Landscaping, Roads, Parking Lots, Utilities. Installation of new and relocation of existing semiconductor process tools (approximately 191 tools). Post construction activities including occupancy. The scope of the construction management services under the proposed contract includes CM design review services during the design phase and construction management services during the construction phase and post construction phase of the MESA project. CM design review services include; review of Title I and II design for constructability issues, review proposed construction schedules & activities, attend Title I and II Quality Assurance (QA) meetings, provide review comments, provide value engineering suggestions, assist in development of special commissioning/testing specifications, provide cost estimating checks of Architectural and Engineering (A/E) estimates and review design analysis. Title I design is anticipated to commence in the 2nd quarter FY2001. Construction phase and post construction phase services include coordination of regular construction meetings, maintaining of construction records including daily logs, logs submittals, monthly reports, and records management support during both design and construction phases, reviewing and recommending feedback on Request for Information (RFIs), providing cost estimating support, verifying as-built drawings and documents, providing construction scheduling support, facilities commissioning support, and other required supplemental services. The services requested of the CM shall cover a wide range of design and construction activities. The CM must maintain a team with the expertise and capability to manage and coordinate the timely and orderly development and construction oversight of the proposed project. The CM shall be required to assign, as needed, a team consisting of architectural, civil, structural, mechanical and electrical reviewers; cost estimators; schedule analysts, and administration support staff. Firms submitting proposals must have demonstrated CM experience with facilities of similar type and scope. Experience must include: microelectronics cleanroom facilities, hazardous occupancies, computational and advanced scientific visualization laboratories, general purpose chemistry/electrical/laser laboratories, vibration sensitive structures, dynamic interactive environments for work, meeting and teaming spaces, integrated energy efficient building systems and sustainable design, energy management control systems (EMCS), state-of-the-art communications systems, integration of multi-level flexible security systems, and facilities commissioning. Award of this CM contract will be based on Best Value Criteria. All interested firms should submit a letter of interest, which includes demonstrated capability of meeting the qualifications in this announcement, together with fifteen (15) copies of their proposal. The proposal is limited to 100 single-sided pages. The proposals for CM services will be evaluated and scored by a committee of SNL personnel based on the following best value criteria: (the best value criteria is listed in order of importance) 1) Similar Experience by the CM Team -- Project specific relevance to MESA, 2) Experience of Team Members -- Professional Designation/Certification/Education, Construction and Technical Experience (It is expected that team members identified in the proposal will perform the work and will be involved throughout the MESA project), 3) Management Plan and Approach -- Project Manager, Discipline Leads and Key Support Personnel roles, responsibilities and interfaces, including project team organization and overall management plan, 4) Methodology and Performance of Cost Estimating, Schedule, Cost Control, Constructability, Value Engineering, RFI and Change Order Reviews, Facilities Commissioning, and Records Management, 5) Quality Management -- Internal QA Process and External QA Interface and Document Control, 6) Participation by New Mexico companies, 7) Electronic Management and Media -- Experience with the software that will support the MESA Project, including MicroStation (CADD) and proven internet based communication capabilities. All proposals must be submitted in writing, organized and tabulated per the best value criteria sequence. No telephone or fax proposals will be accepted. Proposals are due by 3:00 p.m. MST, Tuesday, November 21, 2000. Proposals and any questions should be directed to Sandia National Laboratories, Attention Erlinda Silva-Sweeney, mail stop 0222, 1515 Eubank SE Albuquerque, New Mexico 87123-0222.
