The structures will include a 57,100 sf Station Building, a 15,000 sf Vehicle Repair/Electronics Facility, 1000 sf dog kennel, 3,500 sf enclosed parking/vehicle storage, as well as washing and fueling facilities for vehicles. Additionally, the site must be designed to accommodate approximately 750 parking spaces. The estimated total cost for construction is $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. The scope of A-E Services for this Firm Fixed-Price Contract may include but is not limited to the following: pre-design programming; site investigation (including geo-technical surveys and analyses, topographical and boundary surveys), design concepts, complete architectural and engineering design services, preparation of specifications and CADD drawings for construction documents, cost estimating, space planning, exterior and landscape design, comprehensive interior design, value engineering, post construction phase services, and other related supplemental services if so requested by the Government. The project will be delivered either through Design-Build or the traditional Design-Bid-Build process. Base services will likely include associated design efforts up through Bridging Documents (approximately 50% Construction Documents). Dependant upon the final procurement strategy selected, the Government may exercise the option for the A/E to proceed with 100% Construction Documents, as well as assist in the bidding and construction phases. The A-E selection will be completed in two stages as follows: STAGE I: This phase will establish the Design Excellence capabilities of the A-E design firm and its lead designer. The ?lead designer? is the individual of design studio who will have the primary responsibility to conceive the design concept and the building?s architecture. This individual or studio is employed by the ?A-E design firm?, that is, the A-E firm, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity, which will have contractual responsibility for the project design. In the first stage, a short list of a minimum of three (3) Architect-Engineer firms will be selected based upon the firms' submittals in response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Qualifications submitted by each firm will be reviewed and evaluated based on the evaluation criteria listed below. In addition, the A-E design firm shall submit a firm profile that is no longer than two (2) typewritten pages that describes the overall history of the firm, general design philosophy to projects, and the firm?s organizational make-up that supports the design process. The A-E firm shall also submit a typewritten description (maximum two pages) and relevant 8-1/2? x 11? graphics (maximum three per project) of up to five (5) comparable building design projects completed within the last ten years. The narrative shall address the design approach and salient features for each project and discuss how the clients? design, economic, and operational objectives were satisfied by the design. The following items will serve as EVALUATION CRITERIA in order of importance: (1) PAST PERFORMANCE ON DESIGN: The A-E design firm shall submit a portfolio of up to five outstanding projects completed by the firm within the past ten years. Include a maximum of two typewritten pages per project describing design objectives, approach, results, project significance, key features, and awards and up to three illustrations (no larger than 8-inches by 10-inches each) for each project to indicate visual evidence of design quality.

Formal LEED certification (as outlined by the U.S. Green Building Council) may be pursued, dependent upon the project budget. Nonetheless, LEED 2.0 criteria will still be used as one of the tools in developing a successful design solution for this project.

STAGE II: In this stage, the entire project team, including each A-E design firm selected in Stage I, its designated lead designer, and all the consultants who will work on the project will be interviewed and evaluated.

This entity must be in place at the time of contract award. Although this procurement is open to large businesses, small and minority A-E firms are encouraged to participate.
