Work could be added in other areas within the NAVFAC MIDLANT and NAVFAC Atlantic AOR including the continental United States, Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia. Work will include engineering services for the study and design of new construction, repair, replacement, demolition, alteration and improvement for primarily waterfront projects. Waterfront projects may included piers, wharves, quaywalls, drydocks, bulkheads, crane rail systems, fender systems, berthing and mooring, dredging, coastal and shoreline, condition assessment, underwater inspection, service-life modeling, geotechnical investigations, vessel collision analysis, waterfront related utilities including: steam, low pressure compressed air, fresh water, salt water, sanitary sewer, and oily waste water collection, high voltage to low voltage electrical, fire protection and alarm systems, control systems, lighting, communications (telephone, television, fiber optics, SCADA, and local area network). Waterfront projects may include associated civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, architectural, and geotechnical facilities engineering and services. Work may also include engineering services for the study and design of new construction, renovation, repair, replacement, demolition, alteration and improvement for structural projects (buildings, bridges, industrial structures, towers, foundations, retaining walls, failure investigation including destructive and non-destructive testing, seismic evaluation and design, progressive collapse analysis, blast resistant design, and structural engineering investigations). Work may also include engineering services for the study and design of new construction, renovation, repair, replacement, demolition, alteration and improvement for civil projects (airfields, roads, parking areas, railroads, utility systems including sanitary and storm, water systems, storm water management, sediment and erosion control, earthwork, coastal and shoreline, surveying, pavement design, and civil engineering studies). Architect-Engineering (A-E) and Engineering Services that may be required under this contract include facility planning (DD Form 1391 development), design and construction documents, plans, specifications, cost estimates, Design-Build Requests for Proposal (RFP) preparation, related studies, inspections, surveying, utility investigations, geotechnical investigations, soil borings, hazardous materials identification, environmental investigation, energy computation, permitting, project hazard analysis, other associated engineering services, FACD/Design Charrette/other design and construction related workshops and meetings, field consultation and inspection during construction, shop drawing review, as-built drawing preparation, Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI), special inspection, Title II services, and incorporation of sustainable engineering design practices. Facility planning and project development includes planning studies, project programming documents (DD Form 1391 development), developing of requirements, preparing engineering evaluations, project scope, unit guidance or parametric cost estimating, cost valuation surveying, development of alternatives and economic analysis, analysis of proposed sites for foundations, utilities, access, constraints, and identification of environmental issues, concept and site sketches, recommendations on potential utilities impacts, sustainable features, and may require enhancement of previously prepared basic documentation. DD Form 1391 documentation will be required to be prepared in the Navy's Electronic Procurement Generator (EPG). A-E firms are required to prepare cost estimates utilizing the SUCCESS estimating system in Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), specifications in the SPECSINTACT program, Design-Build RFPs utilizing NAVFAC Design-Build Masters, and drawings in AutoCAD (2006 or higher) utilizing the National CADD Standards format with NAVFAC specified modifications. 3D and BIM modeling may also be required.
