CONTRACT INFORMATION: Architect-Engineer services are required for a Firm Fixed Price contract for preparation of Design/Build Requests for Proposals (RFPs), including charrette/concept designs, schematic designs, planning, programming, site investigati ons, surveying and geotechnical investigations, space planning, interior design, parametric and construction cost estimating, and other engineering services and construction phase services for the subject project. Construction phase services may include re view of contractor-prepared design documents, shop drawing and construction submittal reviews, site visits, technical assistance, commissioning support, and startup service assistance. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. Final AE selection and award of the Phase 1 contract is anticipated in September 2005. If a large business is selected, a subcontracting plan with the final fee proposal will be required, consistent with Section 806 (b) of PL 100-180, 95-907, and 99-661.

The selected firm will be utilized for all three (FY07-09) phases. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: This project will be located at Schriever AFB, CO. The project includes computer simulation and operations centers, sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) areas, soundproof rooms, special-purpose areas, administrativ e offices, loading dock, storage space, remote mail facility, kitchenettes, and mechanical/electrical/electrical/communications support rooms for high reliability utility support. Other features are intrusion detection systems, fire protection and alarm systems, extensive communications backbone, and connection to the Base energy monitoring and control system. Supporting facilities include all associated utilities, access roads, parking areas, walks, storm drainage, communications duct bank, fencing, and other site improvements. All required antiterrorism and force protection (AT/FP) measures will be provided. The design team will utilize the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. A LEED Score of 26 out of a p ossible 69 points is required for this project. Construction cost estimates will be prepared using the US Army Corps of Engineers' Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (M-CACES) (software provided by Government). Access for the handicapped will be provid ed. Comprehensive Interior Design (CID) services are required. Specifications will be produced in SPECSINTACT using Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). Design review comments and their responses will be performed on US Army Corps of Engineers Review Management System ProjNet/Dr-Check s. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-e is primary.
