THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY.

Response to this RFI is strictly voluntary and will not affect any corporation's ability to submit an offer if and when a solicitation is released. There is no bid package or solicitation document associated with this announcement. The requested information is for planning purposes and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. No entitlement to payment by the Government of direct or indirect costs or charges will arise as a result of the submission of contractors' information. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any improperly identified proprietary information.

The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE), Brooks City-Base, TX, is planning to contract with Architect-Engineer (A&E) firms to perform worldwide Title I, Title II, and other A&E services to administer, coordinate, and technically support Environmental, Military Family Housing (MFH), Military Construction (MILCON), and Sustainment, Restoration and Maintenance (SRM) programs of interest to the government. We anticipate multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts using NAICS code 562910. The small business size standard associated with this NAICS code is 500 employees. We currently anticipate awarding approximately 15-20 contracts to large and small businesses. All sub-categories of small businesses are being looked at during our market research phase. At this time, we are considering that task orders under these contracts will be negotiated as either Time & Materials (T&M) or Firm Fixed Price (FFP) depending on the nature of the requirement. Additionally, we currently anticipate that each contract will have a basic ordering period of five (5) years with three additional years for performance. Central Contract Registration (CCR) will be mandatory for these contracts (see CCR website at www.ccr.gov). BACKGROUND AND PROGRAM INFORMATION. These IDIQ contracts will serve to functionally replace and expand services contained within AFCEE?s existing Worldwide Planning, Program, and Design (4P A-E) contracts whose current ordering period will expire during the Jan - Jun 2008 timeframe. In general, the existing 4P A-E SOW scope remains applicable to services contemplated for the future. However, scope modifications are contemplated in the following areas: ? Expanded MFH Title I and II Services ? Expanded MILCON Title I and II Services ? New/expanded SRM Title I and II Services ? Continued General Information Management System Support Services (however, will eliminate procurement of Information Technology Systems) ANTICIPATED GENERAL SCOPE OF SERVICES To provide Title I, Title II, and Other A-E Services for environmental and traditional (Housing, MILCON, and SRM) projects. The anticipated scope includes support in the following existing and emerging program areas: ?

In addition, support includes technical oversight of environmental programs, laboratory quality assurance assessments, document reviews, and assistance in selecting remediation technologies ?

Major activities supported include A&E support on the Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP), natural infrastructure assessment and management, environmental management, natural and cultural resource programs, and comprehensive planning programs. In addition, support environmental impact statements, baseline surveys, forestry, wildlife, archeology, Native American consultations, transportation, air space and range management, and noise programs ?

Also, support the development, testing, and documentation of new project management acquisition and construction methodologies ? Plans and Programs: Major activities may include A&E support for defining housing market areas, detailed market research and analysis, development of housing requirements, pre-planning studies, detailed inspections and assessments of existing family housing and dormitories, development of programming guides for project scoping and the development of housing and dormitory investment strategies that integrate and prioritize, traditional housing construction and operations and maintenance (O&M) funding with private sector financing ?
