- The Naval Research Laboratory has a requirement for architectural and engineering services and anticipates awarding one Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract as a result of this synopsis. It is anticipated that the maximum quantity required for each contract will be $500,000. The minimum value the Government will be required to order will be $25,000 and no single order will have a fee in excess of $500,000. Competition for this solicitation will be full and open with preference given to eligible Section 8(a) firms. If no Section 8(a) firms meet the minimum requirements set forth herein, award shall be made to the highest qualified firms regardless of their small business status. (The small business size standard is $4,500,000.) The contractor(s) shall be required to provide multi-disciplined design work with an emphasis on the architectural and engineering disciplines. Design skills must be demonstrated for the following building types: office buildings, industrial warehouses, and general laboratory space. Typical architectural and engineering support may include the following types of efforts: (a) renovation and replacement of HVAC systems, re-design of water systems (internal to the building), installation and extension of sprinkler systems, installation of restrooms, and installation and retrofitting of elevators in existing buildings; (b) modification of electrical systems and upgrading existing building power distribution systems; (c) studies relating to code research, space planning, cost analysis, structural analysis and architectural evaluation; (d) architectural and structural support services, which may include additions and/or significant renovation of existing spaces or buildings; (e) demolition of buildings including removal of hazardous materials and assessment of environment concerns. It is anticipated that the first order to be placed under this prospective contract will be to provide a design to renovate seven restrooms. Hazardous materials (asbestos and/or lead paint) may be present, remediation of such hazards will be required. Firms responding to this announcement must do so in accordance with the requirements set forth in Note 24 and the evaluation criteria listed at FAR 36.602-1 and DFARS 236.602-1, which are being presented below in descending order of importance: (1) The contractor shall provide specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, with significant emphasis on Architectural, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical disciplines, and Elevators. This proof of specialized experience and technical competence must include, where appropriate, experience in energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, and the use of recovered materials. The A&E firm must indicate past experience by citing examples of the work required. Responding A/E firms must address the potential project. (2) The contractor shall provide professional qualifications of personnel and proposed subcontractors for the project. Examples must be provided for similar projects performed by the proposed team and the duties performed by each of the team members. If the proposed team has not worked together before, the firm must provide experience of the individuals with their proven ability to work in a diverse team environment. (3) Each contractor must also provide convincing evidence of the firm's, as well as, the entire team's capacity to accomplish the work within the required time limits (usually nine weeks for the average projects plus Government review time). It is very important to demonstrate the firm?s ability juggle workload and to manage a number of projects at one time, such as would be required in an IDIQ type contract environment. (4) The contractor must provide past performance information on contracts with Government agencies and private industry, which demonstrates cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules. Demonstrating this should include, at a minimum, things such as letters of commendation/appreciation, a list of contracts, preferably IDIQ type contracts with multiple orders, the points of contact and phone numbers for references. (5) Contractors will also be evaluated on their location, which typically should be in the general geographic area of the project, provided that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project. Contractors must be sure to include the location of each of the proposed subcontractors. (6) Contractors must provide the volume of work previously awarded to the firm by the Department of Defense (for the last twelve months).
