- ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING SERVICES ARE REQURIED FOR AN INDEFINTIE DELIVERY INDEFINITE QUANTITY (IDIQ) CONTRACT FOR SMITHSONIAN INTITUTION FACILITIES LOCATED IN HILO AND ON THE SUMMIT OF MAUNA KEA ON THE BIG ISLAND, HAWAII The Smithsonian Institution seeks interested contractors to establish an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Architect-Engineer (A/E) Contract that would provide design support for Smithsonian facilities located in Hilo and at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island, Hawaii. After award of an IDIQ contract, A/E services will be provided on a work order contract basis. It is anticipated that the contract will be for a period of one year with nine one-year options and that the contract may provide a maximum design effort of $1,000,000 per year, with individual work orders not to exceed $500,000 in total for Title I and /or non-Title I services. The NAICS code is 541310 with a small business standard of $4.5 million dollars. 1. PROJECT INFORMATION: Services to be provided include but are not limited to the following: architectural and engineering studies, testing and analyses; facility and project planning; conceptual design; facilities assessment; evaluation of projects; presentations for project review by various bodies including the Office of Mauna Kea Management; cost estimating for project proposals and detailed construction cost estimating; value engineering; code compliance and accessibility review; commissioning; development of contract documents comprised of drawings and specifications for architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, security systems and hazardous materials abatement for a variety of small projects. Firms unable to accept hazardous materials abatement projects need not apply. Typically the work includes minor repairs, building renovation, facility improvement projects, interior space planning, and a limited amount of new facility development. While the work may involve implementing portions of facility master plan projects developed by others, the greater number of work orders will be for smaller projects. Post design services may include construction bid and negotiation support, construction administration, submittal reviews and/or construction coordination, and preparation of as-built record drawings. A/E's will be expected to respond to Smithsonian requests for service with expediency, thoroughness and a high level of design quality. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. Minority owned firms are strongly encouraged to apply. 2. SUBCONTRACTING PLAN REQUIREMENTS: If the selected firm is a large business, a subcontracting plan consistent with PL 95-507, PL 99-661 and PL 100-656 will be required with the final fee proposal. A minimum of 23% of the total planned subcontracting dollars shall be placed with small business concerns. At least 8% of total planned subcontracting dollars shall be placed with Small disadvantaged businesses (SDB), including Historically Black Colleges and Universities or Minority Institutions; 5% with Women-owned small businesses (WOSB); 3% shall be placed with Hub-zone Small Businesses (HubSB), 3% with Veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB); and 3% with Service Disabled Veteran-owned small businesses (SDV). The subcontracting plan is not required with this submittal. Any prime or joint venture found to be officially notified of non-compliance on past contracts and the non-compliance is outstanding will not be considered for this project. Failure to adequately explain reasons for not meeting previous contract goals may result in a lower overall rating and ultimate non-selection. An approved small business-subcontracting plan will be required prior to award. 3.
