- Complete and submit Complete and submit SF 330 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT - ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES The University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which is operated under Prime Contract DE-AC02-05CH11231 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), intends to subcontract for Electrical and Mechanical Engineering services in support of the LBNL's Facilities Department construction projects and services. The subcontract will be a Master Task Agreement (MTA) with Task Orders. Berkeley National Laboratory is a large diversified research facility consisting of over 80 buildings spread over 130 acres of hilly terrain adjacent to the University of California, Berkeley Campus, as well as off-site facilities in the cities of Berkeley, Oakland and Walnut Creek. This is not a request for quotation. It is an announcement for subcontracting opportunities with the University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Interested architect-engineering companies are encouraged to submit qualifications as directed below. LBNL intends to enter into one or more Agreement(s) with electrical and/or mechanical design Architect-Engineering (A-E) companies to perform electrical and/or mechanical design tasks under the respective Agreements. The Agreement(s) term will be approximately 30 months. The University makes no guarantee that any Task Orders will be placed against any MTA. Individual Task Orders may be awarded on a lump sum or hourly rate basis and may vary in complexity or duration. The total dollar value of awarded Task Orders issued under each MTA is estimated to be approximately $500,000.00. Issuance of Task Orders will be contingent upon available funding. LBNL is free to assign and allocate electrical and/or mechanical design requirements with other architect-engineering companies that are under subcontract or may be selected in the future. In addition, the University retains the exclusive right to self-perform any or all portion(s) of the architect-engineering requirements. The architect-engineering company(s) and its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be excluded from the award of any construction subcontract that is based on the engineer's design. TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET ASIDE. This Requirement is a total small business set aside. Companies must meet the small business size standard in order to be eligible for award of a subcontract. The applicable size standard is that prescribed by the U.S. Small Business Administration for NAICS Code 541330 and the description is Engineering Services. Companies with average annual receipts averaging less than $4,500,000.00 for the preceding three completed fiscal years are considered small businesses. SCOPE OF SERVICES: Potential Task Orders may include but not be limited to, calculations construction drawings and specifications suitable for pricing and construction: Electrical Architect-Engineering Companies: >Perform electrical engineering work to a University provided scope and for design modifications to electrical power, control, signaling and communications systems within buildings and the Laboratory-wide electrical infrastructure. >Perform electrical system studies including but not limited to short circuit, protective relay coordination, steady and transient state voltage drop, transient/harmonic analysis, power factor corrections, arc flash protection (NFPA 70E), grounding step and touch potential using software by SKM Systems Analysis, Inc. Mechanical/Plumbing Architect-Engineering Companies: >Perform mechanical/plumbing system scoping & design including heat loads and pressure loss calculations, equipment sizing, ductwork & piping layout, equipment control schematics, and equipment schedules. Controls System Design Engineering Companies: >Perform energy management system scoping & design including advance metering requirement per EPACT 2005. Develop control schematics Requirements: In order to qualify, companies must meet the following requirement: a. Principal: The Principal of the awarded A-E company is required to be a registered engineer of the appropriate discipline (electrical or mechanical) in the State of California. The Principal will direct the work and be responsible for quality assurance. All work must be sealed by a CA licensed Engineer of the appropriate discipline. b. Documentation Compatibility: Each company must be able to generate, receive, or convert documents into Microsoft WORD, Microsoft EXCEL, Microsoft Project, and AutoCAD 2000. Selection Criteria: The following criteria shall be the basis of initial selection. The criteria are listed in descending order of importance. 1) Company Experience: The overall experience and technical competence of the company in performing similar work. The company must have specific experience within approximately the last five years involving upgrades, additions, alterations, modifications of laboratory, administrative, industrial and office buildings. The University desires that the selected company have previous successful experience working for the U.S. Department of Energy or for a National Laboratory. The projects shall be listed in the Standard Form 330, Section F, and include any other supplemental information necessary to address this criteria. The company should have experience in cost effective environmentally sustainable design. Experience will be evaluated on the basis of breadth and depth, similarity to contemplated projects at Berkeley Laboratory, as well as the overall quality of design services represented by the projects described. 2) Assignment of Personnel: Each company must identify principals and individuals to be assigned to work on projects under the subcontract. Designated individuals must have specific experience, within approximately the last five years, with projects involving upgrades, additions, alterations and modifications of laboratory, administrative industrial and office buildings. The University desires evaluated company to be familiar with NFPA 70E in design and construction, and LEED Accreditation in mechanical and electrical design. Personnel will be evaluated on the basis of the similarity of their experience to that expected to be required on work to be performed at Berkeley Laboratory and on the overall quality of their work as represented by the projects described. The resumes of key personnel proposed for the work shall be listed in the Standard Form 330, Section E, and include any other supplemental information necessary to address these criteria. 3)Past Performance: Companies must provide information about its past record in performing work for DOE, other government agencies, University of California, other universities and private industry.
