- Description
- This is a modification (Modification 2) to synopsis AE2-08 entitled, Engineering Services at George C. Marshall Space Flight Center's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, which was posted on January 4, 2008. The purpose of this modification is to revise the description of the services to be provided under the proposed procurement, shorten the period of performance for the basic contract from one to two years, increase the number of one-year options from three to four, and add information regarding organizational conflicts of interest. Accordingly, the information included in the "DESCRIPTION" portion of the synopsis is hereby revised to read as follows: "DESCRIPTION The Architect/Engineering (A/E) services to be provided under this procurement consist of planning, A/E design, project management, construction support and total building commissioning for facility modifications, repairs, construction, and maintenance at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center?s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans, Louisiana. The majority of the facilities at MAF are in direct support of MAF?s mission to manufacture complex space systems and include laboratories, flight vehicle manufacturing and test facilities and office buildings. MAF is undergoing a transition period wherein new NASA projects are initiating activities at MAF and other NASA projects are closing out activities at MAF. As such, the services below may be phased in based on service requirements and availability of contract funds. The selected firm will provide these services on-site at MAF. * The planning services include field investigations and the preparation of sketches, drawings, analysis, and narratives for facility requirements definition to support space utilization/real property, master planning, and Construction of Facilities (CoF) activities (Note: CoF projects are defined as projects having construction costs greater than $500K). * Space Utilization/real property support includes: (1) maintaining and updating the utilization floor plans; (2) providing office layout design support; and (3) personnel relocation planning. * Master Planning support includes: (1) conducting miscellaneous studies of facilities, land use roadways, and other infrastructure in support of planning of CoF efforts; (2) updating and maintaining master planning documents such as maps, plans, analysis, graphics, etc.; (3) updating and maintaining geographic information system data; (4) updating and maintaining the facilities data book; and (5) providing historical survey and documentation support. Planning support to the CoF program includes: (1) developing project programming data and cost estimates for the annual CoF budget process and out-year program plans; and (2) developing and maintaining strategic plans and integrating all planned and ongoing facility project activities. The Design Services include, but are not limited to, preparing architectural, civil, structural, environmental, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, building automation system, and multi-discipline project designs in support of local projects at MAF (Note: Local projects are defined as projects having construction costs less than $500K). Effort will also include development and checkout of programs for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) for manufacturing support systems and facilities and Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for utility controls. At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, design services may include project designs in support of the CoF program. Project designs include criteria development, construction drawings, calculations, specifications, and cost estimates. Cost estimating services will also be required in support of the CoF program. MAF has an energy management system that monitors and controls equipment and systems in the various buildings. Design services for the addition/modification of hardware due to addition or modification of HVAC or related equipment will be required. In addition to project designs, the selected firm will perform construction support, special studies and tasks, land surveys, geotechnical analysis, and as-built preparation (CoF and local projects). All facility projects will incorporate facility sustainability in planning, design, and construction. New construction will be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified. Construction Support includes: (1) providing construction management surveillance and inspection for all phases of construction; (2) providing test monitoring, construction inspection, and documentation to verify construction and maintenance projects are in accordance with the contract drawings and specifications; (3) conducting evaluations, reviews, and coordination of all required submittals for the project; *(4) the review and payment recommendation to the Government on contractor?s periodic pay requests; (5) providing technical support for disposition of all Requests for Information, Design Change Requests, and Change Items; *(6) chairing of weekly status meetings with the contractor, the subcontractors, and all pertinent personnel throughout construction; *(7) monitoring and reporting the status of the construction schedule; *(8) maintenance of all in-process construction project documentation and delivery to the Government upon project completion; *(9) coordinating the collection of appropriate documentation to obtain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED tm) on all new construction; and *(10) the collection, delivery, and execution of all warranties, guaranties, and pertinent documentation to the Government. Total Building Commissioning includes providing a building commissioning agent throughout the design and construction to provide technical support of total building commissioning for new buildings. The commissioning agent will also be responsible for supporting the commissioning of existing buildings. * Denotes the selected offeror will have primary responsibility for the identified activities during an interim period of time. Long term primary responsibility for these activities is intended to reside with the Manufacturing Support and Facilities Operations Contract (MSFOC) prime contractor. Although primary responsibility will transition to the MSFOC, the selected offeror may be requested to provide support to these activities. Transition of these responsibilities from the selected offeror to the MSFOC prime contractor will be predicated upon further direction from NASA MSFC. The magnitude of MAF?s annual local program is anticipated to include 5 to 150 projects having construction costs between $2K and $50K and 2 to 20 projects having construction costs between $50K and $500K. MAF?s annual CoF program is anticipated to include between $10M to $40M of building, structure, and utility system repairs, alterations, modifications, and construction. The annual CoF program historically consists of between four and eight projects each having a construction cost greater than $500K. The following is a listing of criteria that will be used in the preliminary screening of the A-E firms responding to this announcement. A-E firms must meet these requirements to be considered for the work: 1. Provide a completed Standard Form 330. 2. Submit proposals that include a management plan, including an organization breakdown showing the capacity to perform the work as listed above. Proposals that include a ?Partnering? approach with multiple branch offices, firms, consultants, etc. must show the division of labor between the partners. Proposals must address the ability to accommodate a contract funding profile that may vary depending on required contract services and available funds. 3. Demonstrate that the proposed contract Construction Managers/Inspectors (CMI?s) that will execute the construction phase services and value engineering are trained and experienced in construction management and inspection of industrial facilities. 4. Demonstrate that the proposed contract Commissioning Agent (CA) that will execute the total building commissioning services and is mechanical engineer and a Certified Energy Manager (Association of Energy Engineers) with experience in the design and commissioning of mechanical systems.
