Mid-Atlantic's AOR includes Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The preponderance of work will be in the Hampton Roads, Virginia Area and may include parts of North Carolina. Projects can be categorized as civil design and engineering projects and shall include, but not be limited to: (a) Replace/upgrade deteriorated sanitary collection and treatment systems, potable water supply and distribution systems and stormwater drainage systems; (b) Install security fencing and gate facilities (to include, but not limited to: gates, pass offices, guard houses and pop-up barriers); (c) Install/repair shoreline erosion control measures; (d) Design of new and resurfacing of existing airfields, roads, and parking lots; (e) Perform property and topographic surveys; (f) Facility site work to include demolition, layout, site preparation utilities and grading and drainage to include erosion control, wetlands mitigation, and obtaining stormwater management, erosion control, and other environmental permitting; and (g) Preparation of Housing Site Engineering Investigations (SEI) ? SEIs are required to improve the accuracy of budget pricing on new family housing. The SEI concentrates on the cost areas, which historically have proven to be the most vulnerable to unforeseen cost changes during design. The SEI will look at subsoil conditions, topography, utilities, environmental mitigation, and special foundations requirements. Architect-Engineering and Engineering Services that may be required under this contract include DD Form 1391 documentation, plans, specifications, preparation of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for design/build projects, cost estimates, related studies, surveying, soil borings, hazardous materials identification, energy computation, life safety code studies, interior space planning/design, other associated engineering services, shop drawing review, as-built drawing preparation, Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) preparation, sustainable engineering design practices, Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI), and construction inspection and engineering consultation services during construction. The DD Form 1391 documentation is prepared in the Navy's Electronic Procurement Generator (EPG) and includes cost valuation surveying, concept sketches, site sketches with utility points of connections; and may require enhancement of previously prepared basic documentation, including economic analysis and recommendations for potential utilities impacts and sustainable features. Firms are required to prepare cost estimates utilizing the SUCCESS estimating system in Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), specifications in the SPECSINTACT program, Design/Build RFPs utilizing NAVFAC DB Masters, and drawings in AutoCad format utilizing the National CADD Standards format with NAVFAC MIDLANT required modifications. Firms will also be required to provide documents in pdf format. Final documents will require electronic signature using the Navy's DeSign signature software. Some projects may also require design in the metric system. The contract requires that the selection firm have on-line access to E-mail via the Internet for routine exchange of correspondence. As defined by paragraph 1-6 of UFC 3-600-01, Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities, this contract will require the services of a licensed fire protection engineer or consultant. The A&E must demonstrate his and each key consultant's qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors for all services. Evaluation Factors (1) through (6) are of equal importance; factors (7), and (8) are of lesser importance and will be used as tie-breakers among technically equal firms. Specific evaluation factors include: 1. Specialized Experience: (a) Past experience in the design of the above listed work in categories (a) through (g). (b) Experience with designing facilities using the metric system of measurement as required by the NAVFAC metrication conversion Policy for Design, Planning and Design Criteria, and NAVFAC Guide Specifications. (c) Firm's experience in providing construction phase services (shop drawing review, as-built drawing preparation, Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) preparation, construction inspection services, and OMSI). (d) Past experience in the preparation of design/build RFPs. (e) Knowledge of local codes, laws, permits and construction materials and practices of the contract area (country/State). 2. Professional Qualifications and Technical Competence of the Individual Design Team Members: (a) Active professional registration. (b) Past experience in the type of work required or evidence of similar relevant experience (with present and other firms) and roles of staff members specifically on projects addressed in Evaluation Factor 1. (c) Capability to provide qualified backup staffing for key personnel to ensure continuity of services and ability to surge to meet unexpected project demands. (d) Organization and office management as evidenced by management approach (management plan for this contract), and personnel roles in the organization. 3.
