- INDEFINITE DELIVERY INDEFINITE QUANTITY (IDIQ) CONTRACT FOR ARCHITECT-ENGINEER (A-E) SERVICES FOR MEDIUM-WAVE (MW) AND TELEVISION (TV) DESIGN/INSTALLATION SUPPORT ACTIVITIES AT INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING BUREAU (IBB) TRANSMITTING STATIONS. The Broadcasting Board of Governors, International Broadcasting Bureau (BBG/IBB), Office of Contracts (M/CON), has a requirement for Architect/Engineer Design and Installation services to support RF Medium-Wave (MW) and Television (TV) broadcasting operations at various IBB Transmitting Stations (e.g., Greenville, NC; Delano, CA; Greece, Germany, Kuwait, Botswana, Sao Tome, Morocco, Sri Lanka, CNMI, the Philippines, and Thailand) and other locations. Projects will be of a general nature involving the design, installation, testing, and/or inspection of various MW and TV broadcast systems. The selected A-E firm may be required to perform inspections, conduct engineering analyses, compare alternatives, recommend solutions, prepare technical reports, and perform construction support services (e.g.; on-site inspection, installation services, verify as-built conditions). The BBG/IBB will evaluate each Offeror for this proposed A-E work in accordance with the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.602-1, entitled "Selection of Firms for Architect-Engineer Contracts, Selection Criteria", using the following nine below evaluation criteria [note: criteria number 2 is significantly more important than the other eight criteria, which are weighted equally]: (1) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of the required broadcast engineering design services; (2) Specialized technical experience in: (a) design, installation, testing, and/or inspection of MW antenna systems, (b) RF propagation analysis, (c) design, installation, and testing of TV broadcast systems, and (d) EMI RADHAZ analysis; (3) Capacity to accomplish work in the required time-frame; (4) Past performance on U.S. Government and private sector contracts in areas of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with standards and performance schedules; (5) knowledge/experience to accomplish A-E work in various overseas geographic areas; Other evaluation criteria are: 6) Recent experience (during the last 5 years) in the design of MW antenna and TV broadcast systems; 7) Experience in the design and adjustment of high power (up to 1000 kW) MW antenna systems; 8) Experience in calculating electromagnetic radiation hazard levels/zones; 9) Capability of performing required services in-house. An indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is anticipated, with each task-order being individually negotiated for a firm-fixed price (FFP). None of the above-stated work or locations represent IBB's firm requirements, but the selected A-E firm must be able to perform engineering investigation/analyses, detailed design, installation, testing, inspection, and/or construction support services for the above-stated project types and at the above locations in order to qualify for this proposed A-E contract. The estimated dollar amount for all tasks is not expected to exceed $300,000 for any single year with a minimum annual contract amount of $15,000. The contract will include four (4) unilateral Government 1-year options beyond the base-year with the same minimum and estimated maximum contract dollar amounts per year. This proposed A-E contract is being solicited, and will be awarded, on an unrestricted (full and open) competitive basis following FAR Subpart 36 procedures for A-E evaluation, selection, and award. Firms desiring to be evaluated for this proposed A?E design and related services work are required to submit: (1) a Standard Form 254, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire; (2) a Standard Form 255, Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire for Specific Project; and (3) any data demonstrating the firm's capabilities in the above-stated A/E evaluation criteria (e.g., reference listing of previous customers, listing of professional recognition/awards, and staff resumes) not later than 2:00 pm EDT, Thursday, June 3, 2004 to the BBG/IBB Office of Contracts, Switzer Building, Room 2519, 330 "C" Street, SW, Washington, DC 20237.
