- Description
- THERE IS NO RFP PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD. ALL INFORMATION NEEDED TO SUBMIT SF-254 AND SF-255 DOCUMENTS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. Services include, but are not limited to the preparation of planning documents of various types normally used by the U.S. Navy, and technical services related to documents and software as may be requested by the Department of the Navy, PACNAVFACENGCOM. The primary tasks anticipated for the Architect-Engineer (A-E), are the originating and the updating of planning studies and documents. Additionally, the A-E may be assigned ancillary work to edit and rework incomplete or preliminary planning documents towards final completed products based on technical knowledge and skills gained by professional training and experience in the planning and maintenance of military and Government facilities and installations. Planning documents, as referred to herein, include but are not limited to any document relating to Master Plans, Capital Improvement Plans, Regional Shore Infrastructure Planning (RSIP) Overview and Functional Studies, Special Planning Studies, Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) Studies, Land Use Studies, Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Studies, Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection Studies, Military Training Studies, Space Studies (e.g., Administrative), Military Construction and Special Projects write-ups (normally on Department of Defense Standard Form 1391) with supporting documents (e.g., Cost Estimate, Site Plans, NEPA documentation, etc.), Engineering Evaluations (EEs), Facilities Requirements Plans (FRP), Basic Facility Requirement (BFR) justifications, Economic Analyses (EA), System Safety documents, Site Approval requests, Environmental Studies, Civil Engineering Support Plan, Land Inventory Analyses, studies, visual presentations, graphics, and/or any component or portion (not necessarily the entirety) of such documents. The work will also include the production of planning documents and studies over the Navy's intranet, including the programming of associated software necessary to or incidental thereto. Field verification survey work may also be an ancillary part of the planning process. Any preparatory work, visual presentation, briefing, study, or report, which may be required prior to the initiation of any planning document listed, is also included under this scope. Planning projects may include those for other U.S. Military Commands and Agencies (e.g., U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and other agencies) in the Pacific and Indian Ocean area, in addition to those of the U.S. Navy. The A-E shall provide all professional services required for the completion of planning documents, including researching data, conducting site surveys, preparing, reviewing, and editing technical text and graphics to ensure completeness and correctness of documents. When such services are required of the A-E for projects not wholly assigned to the A-E alone, the A-E must exercise professional judgment to verify the correctness and validity of the information, and the results and conclusions of the material the A-E is called upon to finalize. The A-E must analyze, coordinate, correlate, synthesize, correct, supplement, and finalize the work assigned. As an example of such an assignment, if the A-E is called upon to finalize the draft of a document or a particular graphic submitted by PACNAVFACENGCOM, the A-E shall rework such document or graphic until, in the A-E's judgment, the finished product is correct, complete, and reflective of the A-E's professional judgment and standards. The A-E shall provide electronic deliverables for the publication of planning documents and the integration of source data used or generated during the planning process into the Regional Shore Infrastructure Plan (RSIP-Link) information system. The primary purpose of the RSIP-Link System is to disseminate Regional Overview Plans, Functional Plans, and Other Studies/Documents to customer Activities via the Internet and to provide access to geospatial data through GIS interface.
