The requirement is to provide A/E design services to include any combination of field investigation, management plans, survey reports, verification of requirements, conceptual design, contract documents & construction phase services, and post-construction services for projects (delivery task orders) yet to be defined with by the VA Medical Centers located in Seattle, American Lake, and Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Roseburg, and White City, Oregon or other medical facilities located within VISN 20 as designated by a Contracting Officer. Task orders will be for AE services for construction, maintenance or repair projects at these locations. Services may involve a single discipline or be multi-discipline with a combination of architectural, interior designing, civil, electrical, landscape, HVAC/mechanical, structural, industrial hygiene, and other engineering services. Other specialty engineering consults may be required, for mechanical, electrical, structural and civil. Requirements will vary with each task order. Work may be in preparation for design-build or design-bid-build projects. IDIQ Contracts resulting from this announcement will be for one base year from the date of award with four one-year options periods. It is anticipated to award multiple IDIQ contracts for AE Services for the facilities in located Washington and Oregon. Negotiations will be conducted for hourly rates for each discipline required, overhead, profit and other cost elements, which are particular to the contract. For each project, the VA will issue a request for fee proposal that includes a scope of work. The fee proposal shall be based on pre-negotiated unit prices. Each specific delivery order shall be negotiated based on the A/E effort involved. Individual task orders shall not exceed $750,000 and the minimum task order amount is $2,000. Each IDIQ contract will have a maximum capacity of $3,750,000 over the life of the contract, base and option years included. In accordance with FAR Part 36.602-1, the following evaluation criterions are listed in descending order of importance: (1) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services. Provide resumes for key personnel. Key personnel are defined as lead designers for key disciplines, Project Manager and Quality Control Manager to be assigned to this contract. Key personnel proposed are required to be licensed or certified professionals, as applicable. The evaluation will consider education, training, registration, overall and relevant experience and longevity with the firm. It is expected that the individuals identified as key personnel will be the individuals performing these positions under the resulting contract. Any changes to the proposed key team members after submission of qualifications MUST be approved by the Contracting Officer. Also provide information on proposed sub-consultants for all A-E disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, civil, structural, environmental, architectural, and interior design, sustainable design and cost engineering. (2) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, including, where appropriate, experience in energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, and the use of recovered materials.

(5) Location within the geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project provided, that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project.
