C--ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE STUDY AND DESIGN OF PROJECT TITLED "REPLACE OFFICE AND LABORATORY BUILDING 4481"

ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE STUDY AND DESIGN OF PROJECT TITLED - REPLACE OFFICE AND LABORATORY BUILDING (4481) Architect/Engineering services to be provided under this procurement consists of preliminary planning, field investigations, final designs, specifications, cost estimating, construction support such as design drawing and specification interpretation and submittal review and approvals, and other architect/engineering services for the replacement of MSFC Space Science Laboratory Building 4481. The replacement of Building 4481 will total approximately 120,000 square feet and provide office space for approximately 315 MSFC employees. This facility will provide general office space, various laboratories, clean rooms, computer rooms, data and communication rooms, conference rooms, break rooms, restrooms, and other general office areas to be determined. Standard facility requirements include, but are not limited to, HVAC systems, electrical systems, mechanical systems, and architectural and structural systems. Building access with sidewalks, parking, landscaping, and truck dock for receiving supplies and materials is required. Special facility requirements include, but are not limited to, 10K clean rooms, auxiliary power system, uninterruptible power system, oxygen detection system, various bottled gas lab feeds, cryogen lab feeds, and isolated floor slabs. The architect/engineer (A/E) will: (1) Produce a study document through preliminary planning by developing specific requirements interfacing with user groups; (2) Perform field investigations; (3) Prepare a construction bid package consisting of design drawings, calculations, specifications, and basis of design information; (4) Develop a construction cost estimate; and (5) Provide shop drawing review services necessary to accomplish the project design and construction. The study, design, and construction effort will require architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, civil/site work, landscaping, construction specification development, and construction cost estimating disciplines. Registered licensed professionals will oversee all work under this contract. All design drawings produced will require the stamp of a registered licensed professional for each respective discipline. Only those firms having expertise in the disciplines of architectural, structural, civil, electrical, mechanical, specifying, and estimating need apply. Firms responding to this announcement must have registered professionals on staff in the disciplines of architecture, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, and must have the following number of in-house personnel in these disciplines: Architects - 3, Civil Engineers - 2, Structural Engineers - 3, Mechanical Engineers - 4, and Electrical Engineers - 4. Also the firms responding to this announcement must have the following minimum number of either in-house or consulting personnel in these disciplines: Interior Designers - 1, Landscape Architects - 1, Cost Engineers/Estimators - 2, and Specification/Technical Writers - 2.
