The work associated with this Indefinite Quantity Contract (IDQ) for Miscellaneous Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) Design with associated multi-disciplinal architectural and engineering support services includes various studies, master plans, and the preparation of construction documents via traditional and alternative documentation methods, (such as Design-Bid-Build plans and specifications and Design-Build), ready for bidding for various projects at various locations throughout the continental United States with emphasis in the Engineering Field Activity Chesapeake Region ? District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland. Work may also be performed for other Federal entities. It is anticipated that work associated with this contract will include the designs, studies, and master plans for AT/FP oriented projects. Work will be facility and installation type projects that require repair, alteration, renovation, new construction, or a combination thereof. Work will include architectural and engineering services for facility/installation related anti-terrorism/force protection systems, security systems, information/communications systems, electrical distribution systems, lighting systems, fire protection and alarm systems, mechanical systems, plumbing systems, and utility and site improvements. Potential AT/FP projects may include, but are not limited to: perimeter surveillance and intrusion detection, fencing/walls, vehicle crash protection systems, guard booths, entrance gates, building hardening and security systems, progressive collapse retrofits and designs, window retrofits and designs, interior and exterior public alert systems, waterfront intrusion detection, signal processing, database systems, vehicle and personnel inspection systems, smart gates, vehicle identification systems, master plans, technical reports, existing facility assessments, vehicle approach analysis, etc. Work may also require knowledge of seismic design, stormwater management, landscaping, parking and traffic management, facility programming, interior design, historic preservation, economic analysis, etc. The possibility of hazardous materials, i.e., asbestos, lead, lead paint, PCB's, and other hazardous materials may exist at various project sites. Petroleum containing soil may exist at various project sites. If these materials or other similar types of material are encountered, the A/E Contractor may be required to conduct hazardous material removal surveys, including testing and sampling, provide design removal procedures and prepare construction documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to such materials. All hazardous materials licenses and/or accreditations necessary for the locality of the project site are required by the A/E firm or their subcontractors. The selected firm must have a proven knowledge and competency in the application of all Federal (Department of Defense, Department of Navy, State Department, etc) Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) and facility construction requirements. The firm shall propose two teams with the same Project Manager.

All clearances must be current and valid for a minimum of one year from date of application. Team 2 - For other proposed projects, the firm?s propose team does not require clearances or a Facility clearance. Familiarity with Sustainable Design through an integrated design approach is required. Interior design services may be required ? familiarity with mandatory sources of procurement, i.e. Federal Prison Industries (FPI), GSA schedules, etc. is required. Coordination with the National Capital Planning Commission, The Commission of Fine Arts, the Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commissions and other commissions, depending upon the project location, may be required. The preparation of comprehensive storm water management plans for the State of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia and other jurisdictions may be required. Familiarity with the Success Cost Estimating System is required. All relative project requirements must be Y2K compliant. Familiarity with the metric system of measurement is required. The general intention is to provide for such design and engineering services as necessary to support the procurement of this contract. For the Government to retain maximum flexibility in the interest of their clients, various services/products, such as technical reports, studies, site investigations, programming of client requirements, concept designs, construction documents for design-bid-build and design-build, parametric construction cost estimates (PCE), complete construction cost estimates, surveys, assistance in source selection technical panel reviews (Design Evaluations Teams), shop drawings reviews, construction consultation and inspection, Title II, preparation of construction record drawings, and O&M manuals, may be required at any time up to final acceptance of all work. The selected A/E contractor for the contract will be required to provide overhead, profit, and discipline hourly rates initially to the Contracting Officer within 10 days after receiving notification. In addition, the selected A/E contractor will be required to participate in orientation and site visit meetings (when requested) within ten days of notification for each project and provide a fee proposal for each project within ten days after receiving the Request for Proposal and Scope of Work. Service for each project will be a firm fixed price A/E contract. The total contract amount will not exceed $25 million over five years.

This goal of not less than 5% also applies to women-owned small business concerns. A subcontracting plan is not required from firms classified as a small business. Effective 1 October 1997, A/E contractors are now required to register their firms in the Central Contractor Registration database prior to receiving a contract award. This database provides basic business information, capabilities, and financial information to the Government and complies with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, which requires Federal agencies to have the Taxpayer Identification Number of every contractor and to pay every contractor through electronic funds transfer. A/E contractors will only have to provide this information once with annual updates or as key company information changes occur. Registration can be accomplished through the World Wide Web at http//www.acq.mil/ec; through any DOD Certified Value Added Network; or a paper may be obtained by calling the DOD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. Provide SF 254 and SF 255 packages to: Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Engineering Field Activity Chesapeake (Attn: Code CH2A - Randolph Jones), Washington Navy Yard, Building 212, 1314 Harwood St., SE, Washington, DC 20374-5018.
