- Description
- Architect-Engineer Services at Stennis Space Center NASA Stennis Space Center (NASA/SSC) intends to issue a single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to an Architect?Engineer (A/E) Firm that will be selected to perform multidiscipline tasks under task ordering procedures. The minimum dollar amount the Government will be required to order will be $25,000.00 with an anticipated maximum amount of $2,000,000.00. The duration of the contract will be for one (1) base year plus four (4) option years from the date of the original contract award. The options may be exercised in the resultant contract at the sole discretion of the Government subject to workload and/or satisfaction of A/E performance under subject contract. A. REQUIREMENTS A.1 The services required will include feasibility studies, conceptual designs, preliminary engineering reports, development of environmental assessment and route location documents in compliance with the Federal Highway Administration Requirements, Right-of-Way acquisition surveys and documents, and designs for alterations, new construction and repair projects, and preparation of construction drawings and specifications. The types of projects at SSC vary considerably from new buildings to major renovations of varying sizes. Due to the nature of the anticipated work, a multidiscipline firm is needed with the following capabilities: 1. Architectural Space planning and office layout Conceptual building renderings Roofing replacement New building design Existing building modifications and additions 2. Civil Engineering Geotech Roadway Environmental Water supply/distribution systems Wastewater collection and conveyance systems Storm drainage systems 3. Electrical Engineering Low voltage High voltage Fire alarm and detection systems Fiber optics 4. Mechanical Engineering Ambient piping Cryogenic and high pressure piping and systems HVAC EMCS Plumbing Fire Protection 5. Structural Engineering Facility modifications New buildings 6. Design/Constructability Reviews 7. Cost Estimating 8. CADD Support AutoCAD Pro-E 3-D Modeling A.2 The place of performance is Stennis Space Center, MS. A.3 This acquisition is for architect-engineer (A-E) services, and is procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in Subpart 36.6 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. A-E firms meeting the requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit: (1) a Standard Form (SF) 330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications, Parts I and II, and (2) additional information requested by this synopsis. A.4 NASA Policy Directive 8820.2C requires incorporation of sustainable design principles to the maximum extent possible to reduce life-cycle costs, implement pollution prevention principles, and minimize facility impacts on natural resources while maximizing occupant health, safety and productivity. All projects may not require the application of this directive; however, where it is appropriate, these design requirements will be met through application of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) approach. A.5 Offeror?s responses to SF 330 Section H ?Additional Information? shall include at least three references that are familiar with the offeror?s skill level and professional development in LEED design and documentation. A.6 Additionally in Section H, offerors shall provide a brief narrative for their cost estimating approach and should include any unique factors in the estimating approach for performing work in the MS Gulf Coast area, specifically SSC. A.7 Firms that have capability in environmental disciplines shall submit information in Section H ?Additional Information? on their compliance record (civil and criminal) for the past five years regarding any Notices of Violations, Consent Orders, and/or Administrative Penalty Assessments (fines) issued or currently pending to the offeror or subcontractor from the federal EPA, the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Mississippi Department of Health (MDH) Asbestos Programs Branch, or from any other environmental regulatory body in Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida. Provide date, location, brief discussion of the circumstances of each non-compliance, and date of final disposition of the matter or current status. A.8 Firms that do not have LEED projects certified or LEED projects submitted for certification shall submit a development plan as Appendix A ?LEED Development Plan? with the submission of SF 330. The purpose of the plan is to explain how the offeror will ensure its staff can meet the LEED project design milestones and mitigate risks associated with limited experience in LEED concepts. The plan must be detailed and demonstrate specifically what steps the offeror will take to develop its LEED capability. It must include a time table of steps the offeror will take and how progress will be measured to develop its knowledge and skills. The plan shall be incorporated into the contract if selected for award. On projects requiring LEED concepts, the offeror shall be required to demonstrate increased knowledge and skills for LEED design as per the approved Development Plan. B. EVALUATION Firms responding to this announcement before the closing date will be considered for selection based on the following selection criteria as stated in FAR 36.602-1 to determine the most highly qualified firms. Evaluation of past performance and experience may include information provided by the firm, customer inquiries, Government databases, and publicly available sources.

Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time; (5 points) 4). Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules; (10 points) 5). Location in the general geographical area (Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama) of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project; provided, that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project; and (20 points) 6.) Other evaluation criteria established for this procurement are: (30 points total) a.) Experience with design considerations unique to the gulf coast such as high humidity, wind, soil type, subsidence and flood potential; (5 sub-points) b.) Experience with designs incorporating Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) special provisions and requirements; (5 sub-points) c.) Previous LEED design projects or LEED development plan as required in Section H ?Additional Information?; (10 sub-points) d.) An effective approach to cost estimating; (5 sub-points) e.)
