Seeks A-E services for efforts consisting of engineering and design work pertaining to the operation and maintenance of complex facilities, systems analysis, and investigative reports. The types of facilities include both military and civil works, and military work could include both CONUS and OCONUS locations. The A-E will be required to perform systems analyses in connection with the development of operation and maintenance (O&M) documentation and training requirements; review facility criteria, construction drawings, specifications, vendors' data, and equipment O&M data and develop system equipment and maintenance requirements; develop systems operations and maintenance manuals; provide professional services in the identification and development of technical logistics data requirements; and provide professional services in specifying and developing Master Equipment Lists (MEL) based on design drawings, specifications, and vendor data. The A-E will also be required to provide professional services in developing service contract procurement document (SCPD) scopes of work for the procurement of service contracts which are intended to be used as an operation and maintenance contract option to construction contracts, as well as estimating the cost of O&M services for a period of two years after beneficial occupancy for new projects. SCPDs will be developed for a period of up to five years for existing projects. The A-E will also provide professional services for facilities and facility mechanical/electrical systems/equipment condition assessment/report, life safety deficiencies tabulation report, and Joint Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO) compliance inspection and the designs associated with these services. Since engineering design may be required under this contract, responding firms must be capable of providing design drawings on a computer-aided design and drafting system (CADD). All final drawings will be computer generated, plotted, and provided in a format and medium that will permit their loading, storage, and use without modification or additional software on the Huntsville Center graphics system. The Huntsville Center graphics system consists of INTERGRAPH Corporation supplied workstations and personal computers running Microstation 95 or higher, Project Architecture, Project Layout, Inroads, and MGE software with data input required on a compact disk (CD). The A-E must possess or have the ability to obtain a secret clearance. However, the contract will not require the generation, storage or transportation of classified materials. This proposed contract will be a fixed-price indefinite delivery order contract with an estimated annual amount of $1,250,000 per year. In addition to the basic one (1) year contract, the contract will provide for two (2) additional option years at the same yearly ceiling.
