ARCHITECT-ENGINEER, TITLE I & TITLE II

SERVICES IDIQ

1. SCOPE OF SERVICE:

a. The Architect-Engineer (A-E) shall perform Title I, DESIGN SERVICES, and/or Title II, INSPECTION SERVICES, as may be ordered by the Contracting Officer. Such services shall consist of architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental, landscape, fire protection, communications, planning and topographical cadastral, geotechnical surveys and utility surveys of existing conditions or facilities and field surveys for topographic or locative purposes; development of documentation and reports for conceptual solutions, area development plans (ADP), planning charrette reports (PCR) or concept report, comprehensive/master plans, aviation airspace plans, Dormitory Master Plan, pavement condition inspections (PCI), design criteria, environmental assessments, and impact analysis; producing economic analysis, detailed cost estimates, construction drawings and specifications, bid schedules, color boards and renderings, and any other documentation necessary to execute a maintenance, repair, alteration, and/or construction project. These include services of an architectural or engineering nature or services incidental thereto (including studies, investigations, surveying and mapping, tests, evaluations, consultations, comprehensive planning, program management, conceptual designs, development of design criteria, and other related services) that logically or justifiably require performance by registered architects or engineers or their employees. The area of work shall include, but not be limited to, Nellis and Creech Air Force Bases and portions of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR).

b. The A-E shall perform other A-E services that are not Title I Services as ordered by the Contracting Officer.

Such services may include, but not be limited to, review of contract submittals, review of shop drawings, and preparation of change orders, fact-finding studies, surveys, investigations, developing design criteria, interior design, and preparing base comprehensive plans (BCP), and other professional A-E services not necessarily connected with a specific construction project. Environmental work may include remediation projects and hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) studies. Testing to determine environmental work needed for a project may be included in scope of work.

c. Work may include developing Requests for Proposals for design-build projects or developing more extensive designs to be used in design-bid-build contracts. In a design-build project, A-E would provide a 15% or 35% design package along with a detailed project Scope of Work for bidding by design-build contractors. In a design-bid-build project, A-E would provide a 65%, 90%, or 100% design package along with a detailed Scope of Work for bidding.

d. Work may also include planning documents such as Charrette Reports Charrette reports would include documents such as: cost estimate, 15% conceptual layout and drawing set, design considerations and recommendations, maps and siting information, meeting minutes, briefings and other information and requirements gathered, all tabs in support of the Department of Defense Form (DD Form) 1391; facility space and mission requirements analysis; facilitation of planning workshops, economic analysis and, parametric and programmatic cost estimates, as well as the documentation and validation analysis leading up to a fully developed DD Form 1391 aligned with service department processes and protocols.

e. Work may also include planning documents such as Area Development Plans (ADP) and District Plans that develop the installation into logical increments for efficient and focused planning efforts; create Sustainability Component Plans (SCPs) for the different districts to provide an executable plan to reduce the impacts on energy, water, waste, storm water, etc. to allow the installation to meet present mission requirements without compromising its ability to meet future requirements. As part of the Installation Development Plan, installations shall develop District Plans for all districts on installations. Regular Air Force and AFR installations shall update applicable information in the Comprehensive Planning Platform. District Plans shall address the planning strategies outlined in UFC 2-100-01. At a minimum, District Plans will include the following elements: Regulating Plan, Alternatives Analysis, Illustrative Plan, Execution Plan, and Capacity Plan. District plans bridge the gap between installation-wide planning and site-plans. Planning at the district level focuses efforts on areas needing planning attention due to mission requirements or command priorities. An installation is divided into districts in the Installation Development Framework. A District Plan designates assigned real estate to allocated discrete geographic areas within each installation. UFC 1-200-01, Installation Master Planning, uses the terms District Plans and Area Development Plans (ADP) interchangeably; the AF has refined the scope of District Plans and the two are no longer synonymous. The AF uses the term “District Plan” because it is more accurate in describing the plan’s scope and it allows the term area planning to be used generically as any plan that is limited in scope between the installation-wide IDP and the project-specific Site Plan.

f. Work may also include Facility Utilization Surveys (FUS). These surveys will consist of compiling a variety of data elements to include unit space allocations, authorizations and building utilization rates. Documents would include accurate, updated building floor plans based on assessments of the facility and unit telework analysis and plans.

g. Work may also include studies such as creating base or district wide utility, traffic or system analysis and preparing a 5-year roof or waterline replacement plan or a traffic report. Studies would include documents such as: data evaluated, existing system condition, computer models, maps and drawings, BUILDER/PAVER data sheets, Geospatial mapping data, load analysis, assumptions, recommendations for future repairs or new installations, economic evaluations, environmental or utility savings considerations, and cost/value tradeoffs.

h. Specific work requirements will be provided to the A-E by the Contracting Officer in the form of written Task

Orders issued as individual delivery orders to this contract.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION:

a. The A-E shall be an individual or firm, or any duly authorized representative thereof, professionally engaged in the practice of architecture and/or engineering, qualified by registration and experience to perform all professional engineering work necessary to provide the requirements of the services hereinafter specified.

b. Any topographic surveys, excavations, verifications of existing underground utility locations, soil borings, soil analysis, hazardous material tests, laboratory tests, pressure tests, electrical tests, corrosion and cathodic protection tests, and any other tests required for a complete design of each project will be the responsibility of the A-E. A-E shall obtain required permits for these tests/surveys and provide information to the Base Civil Engineer Project Manager (CENMP) through the Contracting Officer.

c. The contract will be administered by the Contracting Officer. All instructions to the A-E will be made by the

Contracting Officer who is the only individual authorized to direct work or make any changes.

d. The Government retains the right to continue to provide input and finalize the concepts up through the (35%) Design Stage. This applies when the nature of the input falls within the intent of the "Project Description and Criteria," is minor in nature, and does not increase, change, or modify the direction of major portions of the work. These inputs will be at no additional cost to the Government. Examples include, but are not limited to moving minor walls, adjusting exits, doorways and door swings, adding, changing or deleting finish materials, adjusting HVAC air flow, adjusting light fixture and electrical outlet locations, adjusting site features, increasing or decreasing facility footprint up to 20%, and complying with technical directives and regulations.

e. The A-E is responsible for addressing/resolving all design comments after each design review meeting with follow-up minutes. The outcome of all comments must be incorporated into the design before the next design submittal is due. All Government design comments shall be complied with or resolved with the individual who made the comment or their representative prior to proceeding to the next submission. If designs are submitted before all design comments have been resolved, or if submitted designs do not accurately reflect the agreed-upon changes, then the Government can reject submission of designs and A-E is responsible for making required changes and resubmitting at no cost to the Government.

3. PROJECT MANAGEMENT:

a. Upon issuance of written tasking to design a project, the A-E shall appoint a Project Manager for each project to serve as the single point of contact and liaison between the A-E and the Government. The A-E shall further advise the Contracting Officer in writing of the name of the individual so designated. The A-E’s Project Manager will be responsible for the complete coordination of all work required for the project.

b. The Base Civil Engineer (BCE) office will appoint a Project Manager (CENMP) for each project. The CENMP will provide technical support to the Contracting Officer and serve as the point of contact for the A-E on all technical matters; all work performed by the A-E will be coordinated with the CENMP through the Contracting Officer.

c. If available, the CENMP, through the Contracting Officer, will furnish the A-E limited as-built or record drawings for reference and other available information. The A-E shall be responsible for determining which, if any, record drawings will be required. Assistance in locating the record drawings will be provided by the CENMP. The A-E shall be responsible for the verification of all existing conditions, dimensions, and measurements. Utility maps of the project site(s) provided to the A-E are to be used for reference only.

d. The Government will notify the A-E at the beginning of the project design if the project involves “new construction” and is subject to the applicable statutory limit. As of February 2021, the cost limit for new construction is $2M x ACF (area cost factor). The current ACF for Nellis is 1.19. The Local Approval limit for design is (.9 X $2M X ACF). Repair, renovation, and sustainment projects typically do not have a set cost limit.
