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 Fuel Cell Maintenance Facility (Bldg 1344) for F-35A program requirements. BACKGROUND: Eielson AFB was chosen as the preferred alternative for the F-35A mission beddown. The current fuel cell maintenance hangar facility is utilized for F-16 and transient fuel cell maintenance. However, due to the two-squadron, F-35A mission beddown, there is an increased requirement for fuel cell maintenance personnel. The existing facility has adequate administrative space of approximately 6,500 square feet. However, the area must be reconfigured to allow for proper space utilization and facility circulation. Additionally, the locker room and shower/restroom areas are in need of renovation to meet current applicable codes and standards. 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.
