Additional support may include Independent Technical Review (ITRs), Bid support, environmental documentation, permits, special studies, and other environmental activities as required by federal, state and local laws and regulations; feasibility studies, value engineering, explosive safety site plans (ESSP), other special studies, geotechnical investigations and topographical mapping services, programmatic support services, as-builts, engineering and design during construction, and construction phase services. In order to accomplish this objective Huntsville Center proposes to award a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). This SATOC will have a twenty-four (24) month base period and tee (3) twelve (12) month option periods, for a possible total period of performance of five (5) years. Individual Task Orders will be Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF), and Firm Fixed Price (FFP). CPFF Completion Form will be used for Geotechnical Investigation type task orders and CPFF Term Form will be used for construction and acquisition phase type services.

To be eligible for contract award, the submitting A-E firm must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), have an approved cost accounting standards (CAS) system, and have the professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of the required services.In accordance with (IAW) FAR 52.236-23, Responsibility of the Architect-Engineer Firm, the A-E Firm shall be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and the coordination of all designs, drawings, specifications, and other services furnished by the Firm under this contract. The Firm shall, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors or deficiencies in its designs, drawings, specifications, and other services. In accordance with DFARS clause 252.236-7009, Option for Supervision and Inspection Services, the Firm may perform any part or all of the supervision and inspection services for the construction contracts resulting from the A-E services, however, the A-E firm will not be responsible for the direct performance of the construction itself.2.0 PROJECT INFORMATION2.1 Description of Work.The BMD program is in support of developmental and rehabilitation designs of missile launch, test, evaluation, administrative, training, tactical support facilities and various other facilities that may be required; new and rehab road work, utility work, security systems, and building systems work. The designs require expertise in determining the facility/weapons system interface requirements and the follow-on design of missile launch, test, evaluation, administrative, training, tactical support facilities and various other facilities that may be required.This SATOC will provide advanced A-E designs for new Missile Defense Complexes (MDC.) Up to tee complexes may be designed under this contract. Each Missile Defense Complex is expected to be comprised of 20-Ground Based Interceptors (GBI) deployed in two 10 silo Interceptor Fields; two Readiness and Communications (R&C) Facilities; two In-Flight Interceptor Communication System (IFICS) Data Terminals (IDT) facilities; Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Communication Network (GCN;) supporting facilities; and power and other infrastructure which comprise the baseline CIS components. Each Missile Defense Complex design may also include an expansion to a total of 60 GBI, comprised of two additional 20 silo Interceptor Fields with additional supporting mission facilities. This mission requires continuity due to the facility designs being an extension of the weapon systems being housed in the facilities. The interoperability will require continuity among the east coast homeland defense facilities and existing sites. Designer should be flexible to accommodate changing facility requirements as the weapon system requirements may change during the facility design process.Improvements that occur as a result of the evolution of weapon system design may drive modifications to the existing sites to assure operational conformity. Work requirements will be defined in the base contract as well as in specific Scope of Works (SOW) included in subsequent Task Orders (TO). Specific requirements are expected to include, but will not be limited to the preparation of design criteria, architectural and engineering designs, specifications, design build request for proposals, design-related analyses and studies, economic analyses and cost estimates for missile launch, test, evaluation, administrative, training, tactical support facilities and various other facilities that may be required; new and rehab road work, utility work, security systems, and building systems work. Additional support may include Independent Technical Review (ITRs), Bid support, environmental documentation, permits, special studies, and other environmental activities as required by federal, state and local laws and regulations; feasibility studies, Value Engineering, explosive safety site plans, other special studies, geotechnical investigations and topographical mapping services, programmatic support services, as-builts, engineering and design during construction and Construction Phase Services.The firm shall be responsible for accomplishing designs and preparing drawings using computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) technologies delivering the tee-dimensional drawings in MicroStation software, electronic digital format, if applicable. However, if another format is required on a specific Task Order any additional costs would be negotiated at that time. Specifications shall be processed and delivered in SpecsIntact software configuration. Final drawings and specifications shall be delivered in a format compatible with Corps of Engineers electronic bidding system. The Government will only accept the final product that is fully operational, without conversion or reformatting. Cost estimates must be prepared using the Corps of Engineers Micro Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (MCACES, Second Generation (MII) version). Work shall be submitted in hard copy format as well as digital. Record drawings shall also be submitted in reproducible hard copy format.IAW FAR Part 16.505(a)(8)(ii) and DFARS clause 252.236-7009, Option for Supervision and Inspection Services, the Government may request that the Firm perform any part or all of the supervision and inspection services for the construction contract.In accordance with FAR 36.209, the A-E Firm and its subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants selected for award will not be considered eligible for DoD construction contracts that relate to any A-E Task Orders awarded under this contract.
