C -- ARCHITECT-ENGINEER SERVICES CONTRACT FOR DESIGN TO UPGRADE BALLISTIC MISSILE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM, CLEAR AS, ALASKA SOL DACA85-96-R-0019 POC Administrative Inquiries: Ms. June Wohlbach, 907/753-5624 or Technical Inquiries: Mr. David Piening, 907/753-5600, Contracting Officer: Ms. Gail West 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for this contract, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan for that part of thework it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for this contract are a minimum of 60.3% of the contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with small businesses, 9.8% of that to small, disadvantaged businesses, and 2.9% to woman-ownedbusinesses. The subcontracting plan is not required with this submittal. All responders are advised that this project may be canceled or revised at any time during the solicitation, selection, evaluation, negotiation and final award. Contract award isanticipated for Aug 96. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The BMEWS will remain in operation until the phased array system has been constructed. The phased array system components are existing and the design and construction of their installation will becompleted by others. The new structure to house the phased array system will be located on top of building 101. This location provides for unobstructed radar coverage and utilizes the existing structure and utilities already in or near building 101.Utility capacity in building 101 is assumed to be adequate to support the phased array system, but there will be a period when both the BMEWS and the phased array system are in operation. The demolition of the existing mult-story BMEWS radar fencesill be designed under this project. Demolition of these fences shall occur as soon as possible after the phased arrays system is operational and accepted by the user. Additionally, demolition, to include asbestos abatement, in building 101 will bedesigned to provide for relocation of mission control functions. None of the BMEWS equipment, equipment support or mission control rooms can be utilized for the new phased array system. The structure to house the phased array system shall be designedto mount the radar faces and contain radar support equipment such as heat, cooling, power and rooms for other support equipment. The area underneath the new structure in the existing building 101 will house the mission control area and supportingadministrative functions. The mission control area will require security and intrusion secutity systems. The design must accommodate the technical requirement sof the phased array radar system. This includes; but is not limited to the following. 1.Ensuring the rigidity of the structure to prevent the distortion of radart images caused by building movement. 2. Sufficient power generation and transmission to operate the radar and not cause voltage fluctuation elsewhere on the site. 3. Cooling forthe radar elements via available cold water wells or by mechanical means. 4. Protection of interior building equipment and personnel from arctic climate. 5. Continuous operation of the BMEWS radar during construction and phase in of the phased arrayradar system. Hazardous material surveys will be completed for the asbestos, lead based paint, and PCBs. A member(s) of the design team shall be familiar with TEMPEST, HEMP, SCIF security systems and RF shielding techniques. This project is beingconsidered for design/build or conventional design. The estimated construction cost is greater than $10,000,000--LOCATION: Clear AS, Alaska. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The following selection criteria headings are listed in descending order ofimportance: (A) professional personnel in the following disciplines: (1) minimum in-house requirements is an architect with 5 years post graduate experience; (2) disciplines which may be subcontracted: mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, costestimator, hazardous materials, corrosion control, and fire protection.
