- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD. ALL INFORMATION REQUIRED TO SUBMIT SF330 DOCUMENTS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. This is an announcement for a contracting opportunity under the Brooks Act for architect-engineering services. This procurement will be evaluated using Brooks Act (PL-92-582) procedures. Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 36.6 selection rules apply. PROJECT INFORMATION: The intent is to award a contract to provide cost engineering Architect/Engineer (A/E) services for projects within the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Seattle District boundaries (Seattle District boundaries are comprised of the entire state of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana). The following are the primary types of products (but not limited to) that the A/E will be tasked to prepare: preparation and/or review of current working estimates/control estimates, construction Gantt chart schedules and analysis, cost and schedule risk analysis, total project cost summary sheets, and Life Cycle Cost Analysis using TRACES software. The A/E will require preparation of cost engineering services in accordance with current Corps of Engineers standards, other agency standards, regulations, plans, specifications, design analyses, and other scopes of work as required for a variety of Cost Engineering products. All products shall be accomplished in the contractors office with the exception of such field investigations and field surveys as are required at the project site. The A/E cost engineers, as members of a project delivery team, may also be required to attend team meetings and give input in relation to construction costs, construction schedules, and cost risk. The Government will not provide any direct supervision of the A/E employees. The A/E will also be required to perform an internal quality control (QC) of all deliverables. All A/E cost engineering services work products will require review and approval by the Government. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria for this project are listed below in descending order of importance. Criteria (1) through (5) are PRIMARY criteria and will be evaluated for all firms. Criteria (6) through (8) are SECONDARY criteria and shall only be used as tie-breakers should the application of criteria numbers (1) through (5) result in firms being rated as technically equal. PRIMARY Criteria: (1) SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE and TECHNICAL COMPETENCE of the proposed firm(s). Provide representative examples of completed construction estimates, construction schedules, and cost and schedule risk analyses. Projects in the areas of military, civil works, Hazardous Toxic Radioactive Waste (HRTW), environmental and support for other (FAA, EPA, VA, etc.) projects will be rated more favorably for this criteria. Cost estimating experience shall include preparation of cost estimates utilizing the following estimating software: current version of Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (MCACES) MII Version for detailed or parametric estimates; or Parametric Cost Engineering System (PACES) for only parametric estimates. Experience preparing construction schedules, utilizing the latest version of Primavera Project Manager software, and preparing cost and schedule risk analyses, utilizing Crystal Ball software, shall also be provided. (2) PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS of key personnel that may be assigned to task orders under this contract, which are necessary for satisfactory performance of the type of work requirements listed in Criterion (1), as demonstrated by education and professional registration and/or certification, specific to cost engineering related to architectural and engineering disciplines, including: civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, environmental, architectural and interior design, and sustainable design. Resumes (Standard Form (SF) 330, Section E, Page 3; one Section E shall be completed for each key person identified) should emphasize experience in these disciplines, as this experience may be rated more highly for the purposes of this criteria. For proposed consultants, complete Section E, Page 3 RESUMES OF KEY PERSONNEL and Part II GENERAL QUALIFICATIONS. In the resumes under Project Assignments, use the same disciplines nomenclature as is used in this announcement. Key personnel desired are defined as journeyman level cost engineers with relevant education and professional registrations. Key personnel must have a minimum of 5 years of applicable cost engineer experience and should be certified cost engineers/consultant professionals. The evaluation is to consider education, training, registration, overall and relevant experience and longevity with firm. Provide an organization chart identifying each member of the project team. As a minimum, key personnel must be included. Indicate the branch office location of each team member. (3) PAST PERFORMANCE of the project team on similar projects by the proposed key personnel (as described in Criterion (2) above) in terms of quality of work, cost control, and compliance with performance schedules. Referenced projects that were performed by key personnel under the proposed team structure may receive a higher evaluation under this criterion. Representative examples of completed projects in the areas of military design and construction for projects such as military, civil works, and Hazardous, Toxic, Radioactive, Waste (HTRW) may be rated more favorably for this criteria. Examples of military projects should include barracks, company operations facilities, battalion complexes, family housing, child care centers, administrative faculties and maintenance shops, etc. Examples of civil works projects should include levee construction, dam construction and maintenance, bridges, roads, shoreline protection, pump stations, etc. Examples of HTRW should include any environmental clean up work, asbestos abatement, and lead contamination, etc. Past performance of the prime contractor will be evaluated using the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) databases. Government databases will be checked and previous customers may be contacted as references. All performance ratings in PPIRS for the past three (3) years shall be considered. Offerors are encouraged to review their PPIRS records by visiting http://www.ppirs.gov/. This website has information on obtaining access to a firms record, if they currently do not have access. (4) CAPACITY of the proposed team to accomplish the work of the required type and the dollar amount stated in a one-year period. The evaluation will consider the availability of an adequate number of personnel in multi-discipline engineering positions to support their respective area on the cost engineering team. Demonstrate the ability to complete three or more multidisciplinary contract task orders concurrently (i.e., the impact of this potential workload on the firms permanent staff, anticipated workload during the contract period, and the firms history of successfully completing work in compliance with performance schedules). Indicate the firms present and projected workload and the availability of the proposed team members for the specified contract period. Demonstrate how the prime contractor will manage and coordinate the work of its staff and its subcontractors to produce integrated, cost effective solutions to task order assignments. Demonstrate the ability to respond quickly and coordinate multiple tasks between USACE and its Activity customers.
