- Description
- THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS OPEN ONLY TO UNITED STATES FIRMS OR TO JOINT VENTURES OF UNITED STATES AND HOST NATION FIRMS. 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION. This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6 Firms will be selected for negotiation based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The Government reserves the right to obtain updates to A-E Firms qualifications prior to issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP). Should the Government determine that a firms qualifications have degraded significantly when compared to SF 330 submitted in response to this notice, the respective A-E will be notified accordingly and the next most qualified firm will be queried for qualifications update. One (1) firm fixed-price contract for Architect-Engineer (A-E) services will be negotiated. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in August 2010. The Government will issue a Contractor Letter of Identification to the successful firm upon the A-E firms request after contract award. This letter entitles A-E personnel to enter into Japan to perform work under the contract. The successful firm and its subconsultants must also obtain all necessary country/base/installation security clearances and training for all personnel prior to entering Japan. To be eligible for contract award, the A-E firm must be registered in the DoD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Register via the CCR Internet site at http://www.ccr.gov/ or by contacting the DoD Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION. This contract requires A-E services to develop design-build request for proposal/scope of work (DB RFP/SOW) documents to construct a Consolidated Strategic Satellite Communications Earth Station (SATCOM) and Technical Control Facility (TCF) [42,000 SF] at Fort Buckner, Okinawa, Japan. The SATCOM/TCF facility includes space for operations and maintenance support areas, secure training areas, technical library, secure conference area, break area, storage area, loading docks, and antenna operating sites with cable trenches. This project also includes the construction of a standard design, medium Battalion Headquarters [16,400 SF]; one Company Operations Facility (COF) [4,990 SF]; and a Directorate of Information Management Facility [43,000 SF] all at Torii Station, Okinawa, Japan. The project will also require phasing, as the current facility on Fort Buckner (SATCOM) cannot cease operations until the new facility is operational. The project involves a multi-phased construction schedule in order to construct facilities on Torii Station first (that will allow personnel/equipment from Fort Buckner to relocate there) so construction can start for the SATCOM facility on Fort Buckner since the new SATCOM facility is on the site of the existing SATCOM facility. The estimated construction costs of the entire project is between $25,000,000 - $100,000,000. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA The Selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria a-e are primary selection criteria, and criterion f is a secondary criterion which will only be used as a tie-breaker among firms that are essentially technically equal: a.
