The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB, SDVOSB, or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 541330, Engineering Services, and the small business size standard is $15 million. KSC is contemplating awarding two indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contracts with five year ordering periods valued at approximately $20 million. SCOPE OF WORK These contracts will involve essential and substantial effort in electrical systems for facilities and GSS. The professional services required will include, but not be limited to, conducting field investigations and surveys, preparing engineering reports with recommended actions, preparing trade studies, environmental permitting support, cost estimating, preparing final design drawings and specifications suitable for competitive bidding of fixed price construction contracts, and providing construction site inspection and engineering support during construction. Project work includes, but not limited to, power substations, power generation facilities, institutional facilities, offices, electronics and chemistry laboratories, clean-rooms, test and integration sites, launch support facilities, infrastructure upgrades, underground and overhead utilities, and information technology/computer work areas. Firms having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit capability packages, appropriate documentation, and references. CAPABILITY STATEMENTS It is requested that interested business firms having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed all aspects of the effort described herein, submit to the contracting office a capabilities package demonstrating ability to perform the services listed above. The capability package shall be no more than four (4) pages in length and printed in not smaller than 12 point type. The capability package shall reference this Sources Sought Synopsis and be titled: NNK16SLW01 Electrical design and other professional services necessary to rehabilitate, modernize, and/or develop new electrical systems for NASA facilities and ground support systems at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida; Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida; and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The capability package shall include, as a minimum, the following: 1.Company name, DUNS number; address, and a primary point of contact (E-mail address and phone number). 2.Specifically state whether your firm is a large or small business in NAICS Code 541330.

Relevant work for the purposes of this Notice is defined as, but not limited to, the following: Specialized experience in electrical engineering analysis and design of ordinary and complex electrical systems and equipment: Low voltage power distribution and associated equipment, medium voltage power distribution and associated equipment, high voltage power distribution and associated equipment, emergency power generation and automatic/manual transfer scheme(s) and associated equipment, data/control centers and associated equipment (e.g., uninterruptible power supply), renewable energy technologies (e.g. photo voltaic and wind systems), lighting systems, surge suppression, lightning protection, fire alarm and detection systems, electronic security systems, electrical control systems (e.g., elevators, doors, gates, cranes, lighting), heating ventilation and air conditioning controls design experience, and centralized networking and monitoring control systems. Specialized experience developing electrical power system analysis (short circuit, coordination, load flow, motor starting), and arc-flash hazard and electrical safety/hazard analysis using specialized electrical engineering analysis software. Specialized experience in producing sustainable, energy efficient, environmentally friendly designs that enable new construction or major renovation projects to be certified under the guidelines of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System. Specialized experience in producing design packages in Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Engineering software and development of project specifications utilizing SpecsIntact. Specialized experience in different project phases: Planning and feasibility studies, Preliminary Engineering Reports, Final Design, Environmental Permitting, Construction, and Activation/ Commissioning. Specialized experience performing alternative studies: Including cost-benefit analysis and life cycle costing; study or report compilation; parametric cost estimating; detailed take-off cost estimating and subsequent estimating performance against bids received. Capability packages must be submitted electronically, via e-mail, to Sharon White, NASA Contracting Officer, at the following email address: Sharon.L.White.nasa.gov on or before January 15, 2016.
