C -- ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR INDEFINITE QUANTITY CONTRACT FOR NAVY WATERFRONT FACILITIES IN THE PUGET SOUND AREA SOL N44255-98-D-9808 POC Joan Kaimikaua (360) 396-0262 DESCRIPTION: Indefinite Quantity contract is required to provide engineering services for concept studies, Design/Build Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and/or design services for Navy waterfront facilities including wharves and piers in the Puget Sound area. The initial (seed) project will be for engineering services and Design/Build RFP preparation for FY 01 MCON Project P-341, which is to demolish existing Pier D at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and to replace it with a pier 1310 ft long x 150 ft wide to support homeported carrier (CVN). This will include all pier utilities, utility tunnels, vaults and fendering as well as necessary shoreside utility and quay wall upgrades. All requirements of MILHNDBKS 1025/1 and 1025/2 will be addressed and will generally follow the guidelines and criteria set forth in the Pier D Concept Study, copies of which are available upon request at EFA NW. It is anticipated that the selected AE firm will perform necessary testing and field investigations, work with a Government Team to define requirements for the pier and utilities, establish design requirements, take design to appropriate level of detail, develop RFP package for Design/Build Contract, and provide technical support to the Government Technical Evaluation Team reviewing and evaluating the Design/Build Proposals. The budgetary cost estimate for the seed project construction is $56M. SELECTION CRITERIA: Prioritized selection criteria in descending order of importance are: (1) Recent specialized experience and technical competence of the firm (the office/branch actually accomplishing the work and including subconsultants) in the design of piers and waterfront structures and supporting utilities and specifically Navy waterfront facilities. Specialized waterfront experience shall include, but not be limited to site investigations, structural analysis, utilities engineering, waterfront engineering studies, waterfront designs, and cost analysis completed in the past five years. Design-build experience (experience as a member of the design-build team or the consultant preparing the RFP) is preferred, and may result in an increased rating for this factor. Do not list more than 10 projects in Block 8 of the SF255. Indicate which consultants from the proposed team, if any, participated in the work identified in Block 8. Address the history and previous working relationships with the consultants to be utilized. Teams that have successfully worked together on waterfront projects are preferred, and may result in an increased rating for this factor. (2) Professional qualifications of the staff to be assigned to this project, including subconsultants, and their respective experience in the study and design of piers and waterfront facilities and experience with Navy waterfront facilities. Design-build contracting experience and/or relevant experience producing design-build bidding documents is preferred, and may result in an increased rating for this factor. List only the team members who will actually perform major tasks under this contract, and indicate which of the members will perform major tasks under the seed project. Key personnel must have professional registration in their discipline. In block 4 of the SF 255 (Personnel by Discipline) show the entire proposed team by listing personnel from consultants to the left of the parentheses. In Block 7 of the SF 255, indicate branch office location of each team member including the consultant's personnel. (3) Knowledge of the locality of the project. Demonstrate knowledge of conditions and requirements for design and construction in the locality. (4) Capacity and management plan to accomplish the work in the required time limits. Discuss the impact of this workload on the firm's permanent staff, projected workload during the contract period, the firm's history of successfully completing work in compliance with performance schedules, and the firm's history of providing timely submittals. Indicate the firm's present workload and the availability of the project team (including consultants) forthe specific contract period. Provide an organization chart of key personnel to be assigned to the contract, and an organization chart of key personnel to be assigned to the seed project. ***Note: Criteria numbers (5) through (7) shall be used as secondary evaluation factors should the application of criteria numbers (1) through (4) result in firms being ranked as equals.*** (5) Location of the firm in the general geographic area, provided that the application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of firms given the nature and size of this project. (6) Use of small or small disadvantaged or women-owned business firms as primary consultants or as subconsultants. (7) Volume of work previously awarded by the DoD to the firm. This information shall be recorded in Block 9 of the SF 255 by listing the total amount of prime DoD fees awarded for the previous 12 months. INTERVIEWS: The most highly qualified firms will be selected for personal interviews to discuss the application of creative design-build approaches. The Government will provide these firms with a format for a presentation of their proposed design-build approach to the seed project, and will be looking for innovation, technical merit, feasibility and clarity. The discussion will be used to help demonstrate the technical competence of the firm, which relates to selection criteria #1. GENERAL INFORMATION: The contract period of performance shall not exceed a base plus two option years or a total contract value of $5,000,000, whichever occurs first. The contract minimum guarantee shall be $50,000. The estimated start date is Feb 1999. A small business/small disadvantaged business subcontracting plan may be required in accordance with FAR 19.702.
