Other services may include Comprehensive Interior Design (CID), total building commis sioning design and support, design of tenant improvements and support services, and startup services. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. All responders are advised that this requirement may be cancelled or revised at any time during the solicitation, evaluation, selection, and negotiation, final award date may vary, and final completion date may vary. 2. Two contracts are being procured in accordance with the Brooks AE Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Up to two firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. Two AE contracts are required for design of the two new medical projects at Fort Riley, Kansas, for the Kansas City District, US Army Corps of Engineers. One contract will be for the new Consolidated Soldier and Family Medical Clinic and the other contract for the Addition/A lteration of the Hospital. Designs are anticipated to start Jul 07 for the Clinic and Aug 07 for the Add/Alt. Construction on the clinic is anticipated to start Sep 07 in parallel utilizing the CM@Risk strategy, with design completion by Mar 08. Constr uction completion of the clinic is projected for Nov 08. Construction of the Add/Alter Hospital is anticipated to start Nov 08. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for these contracts, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for the Kansas City District are: (1) at least 61.2% of a contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with small businesses (SB), including small disadvantaged businesses (SDB) and women-owned small businesses (WOSB); (2) a t least 9.1% of a contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with SDB; (3) at least 4.5% of a contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with WOSB; and (4) 1% placed with HUBZone small businesses. The plan is not required with this submitt al. The small business standard for this effort is based on the average annual receipts of the concern and its affiliates for the preceding three (3) fiscal years. A business is small for this effort if its average annual receipts do not exceed $4 millio n. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under these contracts must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act, as determined relative to the employees office location (not the location of the work). To be eligible for contract award, a firm must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at http://ccr.edi.disa.mil or by contacting the DOD Electronic Commerce Info rmation Center at 1-800-334-3414. There is a new Federal Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) initiative called Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA). ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage, and viewing of many of th e representations and certifications required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations and previously found in solici tations. According to the language in FAR case 2002-024, vendors are required to use ORCA beginning 1 January 2005. Detailed information can be found in FAR Case, as well as by visiting the Help section of the website at http://orca.bpn.gov. The help secti on includes ORCA background information, frequently asked questions (FAQ), the ORCA Handbook, and whom to call for assistance. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION.
