N62470-10-R-2039 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract for Architect-Engineer or Engineering Services for Design of Pavement, Utility, and Civil Design, and GeoTechnical Engineering Services in the NAVFAC AOR Description: ALL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR INTERESTED PARTIES TO SUBMIT A STANDARD FORM (SF) 330, ARCHITECT ENGINEER QUALIFICATIONS IS CONTAINED HEREIN. THERE IS NO SEPARATE RFP PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD. Architect-Engineer or Engineering Services for design of pavement, utility, and civil design, and geotechnical engineering services are required for one (1) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract for projects located primarily within or near the Atlantic and Gulf Coast States, with an emphasis on the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, and Florida. However, an order could be issued for projects located in other CONUS (continental United States) and OCONUS (outside the continental United States) locations. Specific services to be provided include, but are not limited to, design of pavements (predominantly at airports) for repair and/or replacement and various types of site development and utility services, and civil design and engineering projects with emphasis on the following work: Preparation of DD Form 1391 Plus and Parametric Cost Estimate (PCE) documentation (a DD Form 1391 Plus is preparation of basic project documentation including the DD Form 1391; a PCE is an enhancement of basic documentation, and includes economic analyses of alternatives and estimated utilities impacts); Design-Build Requests For Proposal packages (DB RFP packages); plans; specifications; cost estimates; related studies; all associated engineering services; shop drawing review; as-built drawing preparation; Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) preparation (provides construction contract inspection requirements) and Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI) for several civil design and enginee! ring projects. On occasion, engineering services involving investigations, studies (and technical report preparation), consultation on, or the inspection and evaluation of materials or site conditions during the design, during the construction, or after the construction will be required. The general intention is to provide for such engineering services (applying sustainability concepts, including low impact development and DoD criteria), as necessary to support the construction and maintenance of facilities. Firms are required to prepare cost estimates utilizing the NAVFAC "SUCCESS" system in work breakdown structure (WBS), prepare specifications in the SPECSINTACT system format, and submit drawings in an AutoCAD compatible format. The design contract scope may require evaluation and definition of asbestos materials and toxic waste disposition. Fee negotiations would provide for laboratory testing, and subsequent preparation of plans and specifications may require definition of removal and/or definition of the disposal process. Firms responding to this announcement must be prepared to accept the aforementioned as a part of their contract responsibility. The Government will reserve an option to negotiate DB RFPs, final plans, specifications, cost estimates, related studies, all associated engineering services, and all post construction award services for all projects. The primary tasks anticipated under this contract will be civil engineering discipline oriented and will include: (A) Design of new and resurfacing of existing airfield pavements, roads, and parking lots; (B) Inspection of airfield (and other) pavements and preparation of Pavement Condition Reports using "Paver 6.0" pavement management software; (C) Design of installation security fencing, lighting and other force protection measures; (D) Design of installation and repair of shoreline erosion control measures; (E) Design of replacement and upgrade of deteriorated sanitary collection and treatment systems, potable water supply and distribution systems, storm water drainage systems, airfield lighting, and other infrastructure systems; (F) Performance of property and topographic surveys; (G) Design of facility site work to include demolition, layout, site preparation utilities and grading and drainage to include erosion control and obtaining storm water management and erosion control permits; coastline impact and other related permits.
