AMENDMENT - Revised attachments posted. "Notice to Offeror(s)/Supplier(s): Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date for receipt of proposals. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs." The 354th Contracting Squadron is seeking qualification packages and past performance information from vendors interested in providing professional architect and engineering services at Eielson AFB, AK for FTQW 19-1003 Repair Parachute Shop (B1161) to investigate the possible design options of the parachute shop, B1161. BACKGROUND: The parachute shop (bldg. 1161) at Eielson AFB, Alaska is a 7,244 SF facility that houses Air Force functions that maintain parachutes and floatation devices. The facility was built in 1952, the parachute drying tower was extended in 1957 and an addition was built on to the building in 1992. The building has undergone other various renovation and repair projects as well. The parachute shop subsystems are antiquated and have reached the end of their life. The building's operations require humidification of 40% relative humidity at 70 F. Though the building has undergone renovations and repairs to mitigate the issues resulting from the high humidity levels in the winter, the building was not constructed to accommodate those conditions. A major renovation is required to repair the building to include a building envelope that can handle the required humidity levels year round. The building is sitting on known contaminated area SS521. This is a competitive selection process in which competing offerors' qualifications will be evaluated in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 36.6 to determine the most highly qualified firms. The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed-Price contract. IAW FAR 36.603(b): To be considered for architect-engineer contracts, a firm must file with the appropriate office or board the Standard Form 330, "Architect-Engineer Qualifications," Part II and when applicable, SF 330, Part I. Responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this posting; all costs associated with responding will be solely at the interested parties' expense. Failure to respond to this post does not preclude participation in the subsequent technical evaluation so long as a firm's SF 330 is currently on file with the 354th Contracting Squadron. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. This acquisition will be a 100% Small Business set-aside. The NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) applies to this acquisition, with a small business size standard of $15M. The Disclosure of Magnitude for the subsequent construction project is not applicable to investigation services.
