NAICS Code for this procurement is 541310 and the annual size standard is $4,000,000.00. Two firms may be selected from the responses received from this synopsis. Architectural-engineering services required are primarily architectural in nature but a strong full service team is required. Special emphasis is placed on the capabilities of the structural (seismic), mechanical and electrical team members in the renovation of existing facilities. Contract term will be for a Base term with options to extend for four (4) additional performance periods. Each performance period will run 365 calendar days from date of award/exercise of option or until the maximum limit is reached, whichever occurs first. The maximum fee limit may not exceed $l, 500,000 per performance period. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar delivery schedules requiring the selected firm to provide services with overlapping work/delivery dates. A minimum of $25,000 is guaranteed for the initial performance period and for each option period if no work is ordered after contract/option award. Specific projects will be identified at a later date but will likely include an emphasis on adminstration/academic or light industrial type facilities. Notice: If the selected firm prepares the statement of owner's requirements for Design/Build procurements, the firm is prohibited from competing during the subsequent design/construction procurement state. Primary work will be in two areas: (1) assessment of existing military facilities and infrastructure to develop a comprehensive renovation plan (including a budget) which may extend a number of years and (2) the preparation of plans and specifications (use of SPECSINTAC software program is required) or statements of work requirements for design/build contracts to accomplish major repair/renovation projects in existing military-owned facilities. Similar services are required for the design phase of new construction. Facilities addressed will range from small/limited scope renovations to renovations of large complex structures such as classroom/lab facilities, administration buildings, aircraft operations support facilities or troop housing. New construction requirements may address a wide range of facilities as well. Additional services which may be required by this contract include cost estimating (both budget level and detailed) during design feasibility studies including economic analysis, preparation of various engineering studies supporting the budget process or design phase, inspection of existing conditions with and provision of recommendations for renovation work to be accomplished to preserve assets, preparation of seismic analysis of existing structures using current DOD seismic criteria to determine the extend of retrofit necessary to significantly prolong the life of a facility, inspection to identify presence and scope of hazardous materials (primarily asbestos and lead based paint), preparation of documents defining existing conditions, preparation of topographic surveys, accomplishment of sub-surface investigations, preparation of utility studies, provision of planning services, provision of interior design services, provision of construction support services, and participation in coordination efforts with the State Historical Preservation Office. Estimated start date for this contract is May 2001. The selection of the firm for this contract will be based on the following criteria. Numbers (1), (2) and (3) are the most important criteria and are of equal importance. The others are shown in descending order of importance.
