THERE IS NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD. ALL INFORMATION REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE SF330 DOCUMENTS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO KATHALEEN SCHOLLARD AT KATHALEEN.SCHOLLARD@USACE.ARMY.MIL. The Seattle District Corps of Engineers has a requirement for an Architect-Engineer Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for Electrical and Mechanical Design, Abbreviated Design, Electrical and Mechanical System Study, and Construction Support Services at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) and its Sub-Installations. This procurement will be evaluated using Brooks Act (PL-92-582) procedures and FAR Part 36. THIS IS AN UNRESTRICTED ACQUISITION OPEN TO ALL QUALIFIED BUSINESS CONCERNS. The scope and purpose of this IDIQ contract will be for the preparation of design-bid-build and design-build solicitations involving electrical and mechanical disciplines, new construction as well as renovation and repair projects, electrical and mechanical system studies, and related construction support services for Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) Washington and its sub-installations. Individual Task Orders to be assigned under this contract will identify specific requirements. (A) DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The Architect-Engineer (A-E) shall perform all or part of the following design services, as identified in individual Task Orders: 1. General Scope: Prepare full or abbreviated designs, drawings, specifications, preliminary studies, sketches, layout plans, surveys, reports, engineering calculations, and design-bid-build and design-build Request for Proposal (RFP) packages and cost estimates for a variety of projects involving the maintenance, repair, alteration and/or new construction of projects, mainly involving electrical and mechanical services at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and its sub-installations and projects assigned to Seattle District, USACE. Designs may also include design-build projects requiring preparation of material takeoffs and bills of materials. The Government may provide government designs, drawings, specifications, and standards for buildings, structures and other facilities as necessary to assist the A-E firm in meeting the requirements of the proposed project. The number of copies of the RFP packages, designs, studies, sketches, plans and reports to be furnished to the Government will be set forth in each individual Task Order. 2. Cost Estimates: A portion of the task orders may include designs with detailed cost estimates utilizing the Army Job Order Contract (JOC) Computerized Pricing Guide (CPG) WinEst. WinEst is a Windows based RS Means database program designed for IBM PC compatible computers. This CPG system has been selected for use as the cost basis for all work under the JOC and may also be used for negotiated orders under the JBLM Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC). The CPG contains more than 55,000 unit price construction line items for the description of work to be accomplished and for the unit of measure specified. Line item costs will be determined by multiplying the RS Means Bare Costs by the nearest available City Cost Index to localize the bare costs. The localized bare costs are then multiplied by the JOC or MATOC Contractor's coefficient. Cost estimates shall be automated utilizing the latest version of the automated pricing system. Multiple annual databases may be utilized depending on the date estimates are prepared or the terms of the individual JOC and MATOC contracts. Cost estimates not generated out of WinEst may also be required for designs that will result in award of a construction task order against a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) or sole source stand alone contract where negotiations with only one contractor will be required. As such, effort under Task Orders may also include supporting government project managers in their negotiations with contractors prior to award of construction Task Orders. 3. Types of Projects: Projects may consist of mechanical, electrical, fire protection, civil, and/or architectural design or analysis, landscape design, interior design, and incidental hazardous material abatement surveys and reports. Some examples of projects include: i. Repair and construction projects involving HVAC systems and components, lighting, wiring, communications, fire protection and alarm systems, intrusion detection systems, and CCTV systems. ii. Repair and construction projects involving electrical utility system improvements, including installation and coordination of protective devices such as relays, reclosers, and fuses or sectionalizers; updates/improvements to SCADA systems, and repair/replacement/upgrade of major system components such as feeders and substations. iii. Analysis of electrical and mechanical systems, including but not limited to arc flash analysis, protective device coordination, condition assessments and inventories, and commissioning of SCADA, DDC, and HVAC systems. iv. Construction support services (as described in Section 11. of this synopsis) to include evaluation of construction contractor proposals, designs, review and recommendation of material submittals, provision of random construction inspection, and design of contract modifications beyond the original scope of design services. 4. Electrical and Mechanical System Study Services: The A-E shall perform all or part of the following electrical and mechanical system study services as specifically identified in the individual task orders: i.Perform site visits and visual inspections necessary to obtain information and data, including installation of monitoring or measuring equipment to capture demand or utilization data. ii.Develop accurate electrical and/or mechanical system one-line diagrams to provide Government personnel accurate representation(s) of installed systems. iii.GIS mapping and updates to utility system databases, including map production, data interpretation and analysis, and standardization of information in database fields/tables/attributes. iv.Perform condition assessments and development of recommended maintenance and replacement schedules for electrical and mechanical system components and equipment, including creating photographs and drawings and creation of supplementary files for use with utility system GIS databases. v.
