- Description
- NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for A&E Study and Design of aProject Titled, 'Architect-Engineering (A/E) Services for the George C. Marshall SpaceFlight Center, Alabama and Support Facilities.' The Architect/Engineering (A/E) services to be provided under this procurement consist ofdesign services for facility modifications, repairs, new construction, and maintenancework at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), Alabama and supportfacilities.The required services will include these disciplines: Architects, Civil Engineers,Structural Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Cost Estimators, andSpecifications Writers. Other disciplines may be needed (depending on the project).The MSFC campus has over 200 facilities. Most of these facilities support space systemsresearch and development for NASA. The facilities include laboratories, test facilities,and clean rooms, office buildings (and others).The A/E services can be divided into two project categories: 1.) Construction of Facility(CoF) projects with funding greater than $1,000,000 and 2.) Locally-approved projectswith funding less than $1,000,000. Projects may range in construction value from $10,000to $50,000,000.The A/E Services may include, but are not limited to:Field investigation.Research of existing building drawing files.Engineering studies that include criteria development and feasibilityassessments.Construction documents.Calculations.Cost estimates.Preparation of designs that interface with the existing MSFC building automationsystem.Preparation of designs to meet the requirements of the United States GreenBuilding Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. Certification level for new construction to be Silver.Registered, licensed professionals will oversee all services and will stamp all preparedconstruction documents. Historically, there have been approximately 60 task ordersexecuted over a 5 year period.A/E fees have varied (per task) from $2,000 to over$900,000.The following criteria will be used in the preliminary screening of the A/E firmsresponding to this announcement. Proposing firms must meet all of these criteria to befurther evaluated:1.Must submit a fully completed, current Standard Form 330.2.Must have experience in designing LEED projects.3.Proposing firms office must be located within 200 miles from Huntsville,Alabama.4.Must have registered licensed professionals in these disciplines:a.Minimum of 2 architectsb.Minimum of 2 civil engineersc.Minimum of 2 structural engineersd.Minimum of 2 electrical engineers (these engineers must be from the proposingfirms office located within 200 miles from Huntsville, Alabama)e.Minimum of 2 mechanical engineers (these engineers must be from the proposingfirms office located within 200 miles from Huntsville, Alabama)5.Must have a minimum of 30 employees located at the proposing firms lead office.A/E firms may propose using some personnel from other branch offices, a joint-venturepartner, and subcontractors personnel. However, at least 50% of the services must beperformed by the proposing firms office located within 200 miles from Huntsville, AL(except for joint-ventures). Reference FAR 52.219-14(b) At least 50 percent of the costof contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of theconcern.A/E firms will be evaluated during the selection process based on the following factors(100 maximum points):1.Previous NASA contracts within the last 10 years (5 points). A/E firms that havenot had previous NASA contracts will receive more points (in this category) than A/Efirms that have had previous NASA contracts,2.Geographic location of the proposing firms office to the MSFC (5 points). Theproposing offices proximity to the Marshall Space Flight Center is important since allmeetings and design reviews will be held at this location,3.Past performance on similar design services in terms of cost control, quality ofwork, and compliance with performance schedules. (20 points),4.Professional qualifications of key personnel listed to perform the requiredservices (20 points). Submit data for only those key persons that will be providing theproposed services,5.Capacity to accomplish the work (10 points), and6.Specialized experience and technical competence of the staff in providing A/Eservices for projects involving repairs, alterations, and modifications as well as newconstruction projects involving new administrative buildings, structures, industrialbuildings, and complex test facilities. (40 points).The following Additional Information shall be addressed in section H of the Standard Form330: (1) Provide a list and brief description of previous NASA contracts (within thelast 10 years); (2) Provide information describing the proposed teams capacity toaccomplish the provided services; (3) Provide a detailed management plan thatspecifically addresses the organizational staffing breakdown of all required services. If services are to be provided by personnel from a source other than the proposing firmslead office, describe the services each team member will provide. Also, describe theproposing firms previous experience working with these personnel; and (4) Describe theproposed teams experience in providing design services that include energy conservation,pollution control, waste reduction, and the use of recycled materials.The Example Projects provided in Standard Form 330 should include appropriate informationregarding the overall cost control processes used, the Owners assessments of the qualityof the services provided, and discussion of the issues that affected the schedule. Alsostate if any of the projects are either certified or registered to be certified with theLEED program and state if the projects are for clients that the firm has providedservices for in the in the past.A/E firms must have Past Performance provided by previous clients. For each projectlisted in the 'Example Projects' (Section F of Standard Form 330), an 'A/E PastPerformance Report' must be prepared. Report (with instructions) is attached.The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541330 and $4.5 respectively.An ombudsman has been appointed.
