- 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. One (1) firm fixed-price contract for Architect-Engineer (A-E) services will be negotiated. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in October 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 provide design documents for a new Health and Physical Training Center at Misawa AFB, Japan. The contract includes construction of a fitness center complex that includes a 10,009 Square Meter (SM) building, a 50-m indoor swimming pool (2,332 SM), an outdoor running track, an outdoor artificial turf football field, and an outdoor grass soccer field. The building will include a Health and Wellness Center (HAWC), visitor and spectator spaces, administrative areas, classrooms, support areas, locker rooms, gymnasium, group exercise areas, stretching areas, cardiovascular areas, free weight areas, fitness assessment rooms, indoor running track, and racquetball courts. Work includes all required documents to raise a standalone facility, including site preparation, foundation, concrete floors, concrete walls, landscaping, utilities, ATFP Physical Security Measures, pavements, communication systems, and all associated demolition. This project will comply with DoD ATFP requirements per Unified Facility Criteria. The facilities will support year-round unit and individual physical fitness programs to support and improve the fitness of base personnel and their families. Information provided to the selected A-E from which to develop design documents will include a completed DD1391 and planning phase documents (Requirements Document) which includes programming level cost estimates, site location and parametric floor plans. The estimated construction cost of this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. THE PROJECT IS LOCATED AT MISAWA AIR BASE, JAPAN. SITE VISITS AS WELL AS MEETINGS IN JAPAN ARE REQUIRED. Design criteria will normally be based on U.S. and DoD requirements, however, design deliverables must address local construction methods and materials that meet the intent of U.S. criteria in order to facilitate the use of local methods and materials. 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 through d are primary selection criteria, and e and f are secondary and will only be used as a tie-breaker among firms that are essentially technically equal: a. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE 1) Knowledge and experience in preparing U.S. funded design drawings, specifications, cost estimates, design analyses and studies for the repair/renovation, maintenance, and new construction of facilities on U.S. military installations. Experience in the preparation of design documents leading to the new construction or repair/renovation of Health and Physical Training Center facilities is highly desirable. (Note: Provide a minimum of two but not more than seven completed projects. Use a separate Section F for each project and clearly identify the companys role as prime or subcontractor for each completed project.) 2) Knowledge and experience with DoD design standards and criteria (including UFCs, MIL Handbooks, UFGS etc.) 3) Knowledge and experience with Japanese design and construction practices, materials, procedures, standards, criteria and codes. 4) The firms design quality management plan to include: management approach, coordination of disciplines and subs/consultants, quality control procedures (including project-specific quality control plans, detailed checks, independent technical reviews), and prior working experiences of the prime firm and any significant subs/consultants. The effectiveness of the proposed project team (including management structure; coordination of disciplines, offices and/or subcontractors; and prior working relationships) will also be examined. 5) Knowledge of sustainable design and development (SDD) practices including experience with implementation of federal mandates (including, but not limited to, EPAct 2005, EISA 2007, E.O. 13423, E.O. 13514), LEED documentation and LEED certification procedures and energy modeling analysis. Including at least one LEED Accredited Professional (AP) on the design team is highly desirable. The LEED AP may be a team member responsible for a design discipline but this person shall be the single point of contact for the government for SDD matters and shall be responsible for all SDD documentation of the contract. 6) Conducting and facilitating design charrettes to identify functional issues, achieve consensus on project requirements, develop facility and site layouts and develop schematic preliminary designs. b. PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS. Resumes of key personnel shall be indicated in SF330, Section E - RESUMES OF KEY PERSONNEL PROPOSED FOR THIS CONTRACT.
