Architect-Engineer (A/E) services are required for a regional IDIQ contract for the design and preparation of marine/waterfront construction plans and specifications for activities serviced by Engineering Field Activity NW, including, but not limited to, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and Utah, with the preponderance of work anticipated to be within the state of Washington. A/E services required are primarily marine/waterfront in nature but a strong multi-discipline team is required. Services shall be accomplished in the contractor?s office with the exception of field investigations and field surveys as required at the project site. ALL INFORMATION NEEDED TO SUBMIT SF 254 AND SF 255 DOCUMENTS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. NAICS Code for this procurement is 541310. The annual size standard is $4,000,000.00. Contract term will be for a one-year period of 365 calendar days or until the maximum dollar limit is reached, whichever occurs first. The maximum fee limit may not exceed $5,000,000 aggregate total. The values of individual contract task orders executed under this contract are $2,500 to $1.5M. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar delivery schedules, requiring overlapping work/delivery dates. The minimum guarantee for the total contract shall be $5,000. Estimated start date for this contract is June 2004. The work under this contract may include, but is not limited to designs and/or studies for construction, renovation, and maintenance of various Navy waterfront facilities, including utilities. Primary work will be the preparation of plans and specifications for design/build or fully designed contracts to accomplish either renovation or new construction projects. The work may also include engineering design, field investigations, fire protection, surveys, sub-surface investigations, construction support services, cathodic protection systems, identifying environmental concerns, economic analysis, technical feasibility assessment, design analysis, structural evaluation, geotechnical evaluation, surveying, cost estimating, construction support consultation, and seismic analysis of existing structures using current DOD seismic criteria. During the performance of this contract, asbestos, hazardous materials/waste or pollution abatement may be required. In addition, engineering services, mechanical, electrical, architectural, civil/structural, geotechnical, and environmental disciplines may be required under this contract.
