A-E Services for Liquid Oily Waste System

HSCG87-10-R-PJT027 - A-E Services for Liquid Oily Waste Separator (LOWS) Facility Maintenance Project Design. The U.S. Coast Guard has a Liquid Oily Waste System processing facility (LOWS) located at Base Support Unit (BSU) Kodiak, Alaska. The facility was originally built in the mid-1990s, with various upgrades over the years. The system collects and processes used oil and oily water from Coast Guard cutters, various BSU operations, and other miscellaneous sources. The wastes are treated and separated into reclaimed oil which is used at the BSU, water that is discharged to the sanitary sewer system, and residual wastes that are shipped off island. The current LOWS facility process generates hydrogen sulfide which has caused significant deterioration of piping, tanks and equipment, and continues to cause worker safety concerns. The U.S. Coast Guard intends to conduct a Maintenance Project to repair the deteriorated facility in the future. The intent is to phase this project into two phases. The initial phase is Project Scoping (with possible supplemental studies, if necessary). The second (option) phase is for Project Design. These two work items will be negotiated separately. The design phase is optional at the sole discretion of the government. However, the A-E team for this project shall consist of all disciplines necessary for both the scoping and design work. The estimated performance period for the project scoping phase is late December 2009 to early January 2010 through mid-February to early March 2010. The exact schedule will be negotiated with the selected firm. Following a review and evaluation of qualification and performance data, negotiations will be commenced with the top-ranked firm on the selection list for this project. Selection of a firm for negotiation is through an order of precedence based on demonstrated competence and qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the type of professional service required, as determined by applying the following criteria: 1. Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of the required services; 2. Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, including, where appropriate, experience in energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, and the use of recovered materials; 3. Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time (include information as to the firm's current and projected workload and its capability to accomplish this project); 4. Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules (include names and phone numbers of references); 5. Location in Alaska and knowledge of the locality of the project; provided, that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project. The NAICS Code is 541330. This procurement is issued on an unrestricted basis. This is NOT a small business set-aside. Qualified firms desiring consideration shall submit a Standard Form 330, Parts 1 and 2, prior to the close of business (4:00 PM) on November 30, 2009.
