This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. A firm-fixed price contract will be negotiated. Award of the contract is anticipated to be in July 2009. Target date to complete design documents for Phase 1 is September 2010. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The project requires the preparation of plans, specifications, design analysis, and cost estimates for the US Army Pacific Command and Control Facility Complex. Primary facilities are comprised of several structures to meet the operational and functional requirements of various USARPAC Directorates and Staff Offices. Notional floor plans, building envelopes, building footprints, and an overall site plan are currently being developed and will be provided to the successful offeror as a point of departure. Building systems include sensitive compartmented information facilities, telecommunications, intrusion detection, energy monitoring control, redundant mechanical and electrical systems with backup power for designated areas, fire protection and alarm. An electrical substation, parking structure, and central utility plant are also part of the primary facilities. Comprehensive interior design, antiterrorism measures, and sustainable design development (SDD) and EPAct05 features are required. LEED-NC Gold is the target for this project. Supporting systems include site improvement work, utilities and connections, exterior lighting, paving, walks, curbs, gutters, storm drainage, culverts, landscaping, signage, fencing, and other related improvements. Deliverables will include a separate design package for each phase for solicitation and construction award in the appropriate fiscal year. Design packages are required to be coordinated with each other for pragmatic linkage with preceding and subsequent construction phases. Specific computer-aided drafting (CAD) equipment, format of CAD products, and compliance with A/E/C standards will be required. The Government will provide limited geotech and top survey data. The geotech work is not yet awarded and will be provided to the selected firm. The Government has no information on soil stabilization requirements. The notional plans are not completed as of this date but will be provided to the selected firm. The CAD standard for this project is Microstation V8. Microstation is the requirement for the entire design. Final CAD files are required to be in Microstation V8. A Microstation CAD file will be required prior to final stage to check that the file complies with the A/E/C standards. There are no specific security clearances required. If a firm desires the name of the notional designer, it must be requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The project requirement is to provide the design for all 4 phases. The estimated construction cost is between $250,000,000 and $500,000,000. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The PRIMARY selection criteria listed in descending order of importance are: (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion) (a) Specialized experience and technical competence.
