The Government will reserve an option to negotiate final plans, specifications, cost estimates, related studies, all associated engineering services, and all post construction award services. The contract includes the preparation of cost data using the NAVFAC "SUCCESS" system in work breakdown structure (WBS), DD Forms 1391, Witness Data and site plan preparation formatted in a preliminary engineering documentation. The work may also include surveying, soil borings, hazardous materials identification, and energy computations. The preliminary engineering document forms the basis of cost and scope programming for Congressional submission or budget adjustments. The anticipated start date is December 2001 with a design completion date by March 2003; post construction services, if required, start in December 2003 and be completed by December 2005. The project includes construction of a new 3.5 MGD reverse osmosis water treatment facility. Work includes a 3200 SF treatment building that will house the pretreatment chemical feed systems, high service pumps, cartridge filters, membrane trains, greensand filter units, air stripping units, and post treatment chemical feed systems. Demolition of the existing water treatment plant is also included.

Firms are required to prepare the cost estimate utilizing the NAVFAC "SUCCESS" system in work breakdown structure (WBS), the specifications in the SPECSINTACT system format, and all drawings shall be submitted in an AutoCAD compatible format. The design contract scope may require evaluation and definition of asbestos materials and toxic waste disposition. Fee negotiations would provide for laboratory testing and subsequent preparation of plans and specifications may require definition of removal and/or definition of disposal process. Firms responding to this announcement must be prepared to accept the aforementioned as a part of their contract responsibility. The A&E must demonstrate his and each key consultant's qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors for all services.
