ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING (A-E) SERVICES AT EIELSON AFB, AK. "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 to renovate the existing Engine MX NDI facility (Bldg 1346) to provide x-ray radiation shielding and fire protection/suppression where needed, as identified in Section 4 of the Scope of Work. BACKGROUND: Eielson AFB was chosen as the preferred alternative for the F-35A mission beddown. The current Engine MX NDI facility's X-Ray room, when in use, does not allow for personnel to occupy the room directly above it due to lack of radiation penetration boundary along the ceiling in the X-Ray room. Also, when the X-Ray room is in use, personnel in the building must delineate themselves around a certain radius from the room's entrance due to the room's main door not having proper lining to prevent radiation penetration. When in use, operations inside the room can take up to a full typical workday. In another section of the building, there is no Fire Protection/Suppression in Rooms 109, 110 nor 111. Such systems must be installed in order for the building to be fire-safety-compliant with Eielson AFB and the DoD. If all of the above-mentioned renovations are not met, there could be negative impacts on aircraft readiness, inability of the installation to sustain F-35A operations, and direct impacts to mission objectives supporting stability and security in the Asia-Pacific region. Said renovations would ultimately aid in the success of the new F-35A program at Eielson Air Force Base. This is a competitive selection process in which competing offeror's 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.
