Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition in lieu of full and open competition is in the Government’s best interest. This is not a solicitation but a Sources Sought only.

After review of the responses submitted, a solicitation announcement will be published in the Sam.gov website if the Government intends to continue with the procurement.

The Government intends to award a Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

Contract. Tasks orders issued against this contract are estimated to be between $50,000 and

$1,000,000.

The NAICS code for this proposed procurement is 541330 (small business size standard is $25.5 million). The procurement method will be in accordance with 40 USC, Chapter 11, Selection of

Architects and Engineers. If a solicitation is issued, the solicitation will consist of a base period of two years and three (3) one-year options totaling five (5) years of performance. The anticipated total work to be issued over the life of the contract via task orders (base period plus three one-year options) shall not exceed the estimated maximum amount of $15 Million.

The successful contractors to any forthcoming solicitation shall provide all labor, management, supervision, tools, materials, and all equipment necessary to perform the services listed below.

The preponderance of the work under this contract shall involve the accomplishment of work in the following major categories, including but not limited to:

1. Development and preparation of detailed cost estimates for complex facilities encompassing horizontal and vertical construction. This may include specialties such as dredging, hazardous and toxic materials remediation, unexploded ordinance location, waterfront facilities and contract modifications. This would be done using the latest DoD and NAVFAC approved software (MII, PACES, and RACER). This would be Class 1, 2 or 3 estimates for Design-Bid-Build or Design-Build projects

(Estimate classes as defined by the AACE International cost estimate classification system for the Building and General Construction industries.)

2. Development and preparation of concept and budget estimates for those types of projects described above. This would be done using the latest DoD and NAVFAC approved software. (Currently MII, PACES and RACER). These would be for Class

3, 4 or 5 for studies or 1391 development (Estimate classes as defined by the AACE

International cost estimate classification system for the Building and General

Construction industries.). This would also include rough order of magnitude estimates and alternative cost analysis.

3. Preparation of comprehensive DD Form 1391 documentation, which may include:

a. Planning deliverables: requirements definition, Basic facility requirement/facilities planning document preparation, and economic analysis for project justification.

b. 1391 Preliminary Design Charrette facilitation and report.

c. Field investigations deliverables: surveying and mapping, tests, evaluations, consultations, soil borings, hazardous materials identification.

d. Sustainable design deliverables: LEED Checklist or NAVFAC Sustainability and Energy Data Record Card, etc.

e. Cybersecurity Deliverables.

f. Design deliverables: MILCON Planning Checklist, Preliminary Collateral

Equipment list, related studies, multi-discipline conceptual designs, floor plan and site plan preparation cost estimates including Physical Security Equipment

(PSE) and or Electronic Security Systems (ESS) costs if required, energy computation, life safety code studies, interior space comprehensive planning/design, conceptual designs, and other associated engineering services.

g. Familiarity with and access to Program Administration DD form 1391 Processer system (PAX) is required.

4. Development of general and specific economic analysis, life cycle cost analysis, Total

Ownership Costs and other non-present value cost analyses. These should be done using either DOD’s ECONPACK software or other energy audit type analysis package.

5. Cost and Schedule Risk Analysis in accordance with FC 1-300-09N.

6. Construction schedule development including contract modifications and impact analysis in accordance with FC 1-300-09N.

7. Value Engineering Studies and Charrette facilitation.

8. Other cost engineering support services associated with facility construction and environmental remediation such as regional construction market analysis or economic evaluation.

9. Quality Reviews (QRs) and Constructability Reviews (CRs) consisting of a study by a multi-disciplined team of professionals. For QRs, the team will concentrate on coordination aspects of the design documents, rather than technical aspects of the design. For CRs, the team will concentrate on the appropriateness of the design documents, based on the proposed materials, project location, and current standard construction practices.

10. Reports and / or detailed regional cost studies to provide guidance on enhancing the accuracy of construction cost estimates for future projects at various locations under the cognizance of NAVFAC.

11. Cost estimating tool creation and data analysis.
