This request is being solicited on an unrestricted base. This is an Architect-Engineer (A-E) service acquisition for a firm-fixed price indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for a base period of one year and two option periods of one year each. The NAICS Code is 541330. A-E services are required for the preparation of estimating and programming, development of plans, specifications and cost estimates suitable for bidding and repairs, renovations, alterations, upgrades, possible replacement (new construction), and associated demolition work for various projects at Dare County Bomb Range, Fort Fisher and Seymour Johnson AFB in NC. A-E services for these projects will be accomplished under Task Orders written against the IDIQ contract. Construction cost ranges for these projects vary; however, it is not contemplated that the cost range for any individual job will exceed $10,000,000. The selected A-E firm(s) will be required to participate in an orientation, scope of work and site visit meetings (when requested) within 7 calendar days after receiving the request for proposal for a project. The fees under the IDIQ contract will not exceed $750,000 for any base or option period with the maximum task order amount of $299,000. The guaranteed minimum for the IDIQ contract is $10,000. The work involved is multi-disciplined and includes, but is not limited to architectural, structural, civil, environmental, electrical, fire protection and mechanical requirements. Field surveying, landscaping design, and architectural rendering capabilities may be required. Familiarity with English and metric system of measurements is required. Disciplines and capabilities may be represented within the same firm or with consultants that regularly work with the primary firm. The firm(s) must provide part-time and/or full-time on-site project specific construction inspection, contract administration and field engineering services. The firms(s) must provide full and/or part-time on-site design and plan review by professional engineers and/or architects on an as-needed basis. All drawings must be formatted in AUTOCAD Release 2000 or higher. Documentation shall be furnished with each drawing file detailing level layer usage, and scale information for drawings. Each final drawing shall be provided on CD-ROM, formatted for the Windows operating system. The firm(s) shall also be able to obtain MaxView/SourceView software and convert drawing files formatted for electronic posting over the Internet. Each converted drawing file shall be provided on CD-ROM, formatted for the Windows operating system. Firms are reminded of the requirement in FAR 36.601-3(a), which states that the construction design specifications shall require the maximum practicable use of recovered materials considering the performance requirements, availability, price reasonableness, and cost-effectiveness. The possibility of hazardous materials, i.e., asbestos, lead paint, and other materials may exist at project sites. All hazardous materials licenses and/or accreditations necessary for the locality of the project site are required by the A-E firm(s) or their sub-contractors. The general intention is to provide for such design and engineering services as necessary to support the procurement of construction requirements/ acquisitions. For the Government to retain maximum flexibility in the interest of their clients, various services/products, such as technical reports, studies, site investigations, concept designs, cost estimates, surveys, shop drawings reviews, construction consultation and inspection, Title II, preparation of construction record drawings, and O&M manuals, may be required at any time up to final acceptance of all work. Because the IDIQ contract could eventually result in an award over $500,000, a subcontracting plan will be required by large business concerns.
