Various Designs/Studies utilizing disciplines such as Architectural, Mechan ical, Structural, Civil, Land Surveying, Geotechnical (Soils Engineer), Environmental, and Electrical Engineers, as well as Estimating, Plumbing, Communication, Fire Protection and Energy Management Controls, 3.

The government requests interested firms identify their interests and capabilities to meet the above requirements by submitting their Standard Forms (SF) 254 & 255. The documents shall be submitted in hard copy fo rmat to the Northern Regional Contract Center (NRCC), Installation Division ? Fort Lee, ATTN: George Herndon, 1830 Quartermaster Road, Fort Lee, VA 23801-1606. Telephone (804) 734-4985 and email: herndong@lee.army.mil no later than (NLT) 2:00 P.M. local ti me, 1 May 03. In addition the firms shall answer the following questions: Unique capabilities of the A-E: Volume of Work: Due to the funding cycle of the Federal Government, the regional tidewater DPW/DEL?s typically have the majority of their Operation & Maintenance Appropriation (OMA) designs (and construction) positioned and awarded during the 4th quarter (Jul-Sep) of th e fiscal year. For example, of the over $1M average of design services prepared each fiscal year through the tidewater regional contract, over 70% of the Task Orders are awarded during the 4th quarter, thereby making the start and completion dates for su ch projects running concurrently with each other. 1. Question: How would your firm intend to handle a workload surge of such magnitude (i.e. numerous projects at different Installations) with start and completion dates all within the same time period? 2. Question: How does your firm intend to allocate/develop/obtain the resources required to execute approximately $1M of design work for multiple Installations at the same time? Responsiveness: Often, the Tidewater Regional DPW/DEL?s require immediate assistance that demands instant responsiveness by the A-E (i.e., same or next day) to mission critical directives that might include a scope development meeting, investigation of a facility, concept design and cost estimate or some other action requiring A-E services. 3. Question: How would your firm respond to such an urgent request requiring immediate attention while maintaining ongoing project schedules? Please describe in detail how the Project Managers, Architects and Engineers for on-going projects will be distri buted to meet such requests. The Tidewater Regional A-E contract is a 3-year contract (1 Base Period + 2 Option Periods). Often, designs completed by the A-E are under construction while the A-E contract is ongoing, other times after the completion of the contract period. 4. Question: How does your firm view A-E liability during construction? Does your firm view it as a continuation of the design process or as a separate functional element of the Construction contract? 5. Question: How would your firm respond to differing site conditions and/or design deficiencies discovered during construction involving a design completed under the subject contract? 6. Question: What would be the process for corrective action? 7. Question: What are the processes in place for reviewing submittals during construction? Experience: The Tidewater Regional DEL?s typically execute (for construction) the designs completed under A-E contracts through various means. 8. Question: What is the your firms' experience with designing projects to be executed through: a. Job Order Contracting (JOC)? b. Corps of Engineers? c. Installation Contracting Offices?
