SPECIALIZED SERVICES

In the course of doing business with Architect/Engineering firms under contract with the NPS, the NPS occasionally needs to obtain specialized services from sub-consultants under the prime contract. In these instances, the majority of the work may be performed solely by the sub-consultant with little involvement of the prime contractor. Even though the work is performed primarily by the sub-consultant, NPS will ensure that the prime contractor is involved in all discussions and all correspondence is routed through the prime contractor. Prime contractors have indicated their concerns with the ceiling amounts and the effect these “pass-throughs” would have on the cap. This has been taken into consideration in establishing the maximum contract amount for this solicitation and the resultant contract(s). Prime contractors submitting statements of qualifications are advised that the NPS will continue to acquire such specialized services in this manner. The NPS does not allow the prime consultant an administrative handling or coordination fee on sub-consultant’s services.

QUALITY CONTROL

A documented internal Quality Control Program shall be applied to all services performed and shall be used by all sub-consultants. This quality control program should include a system that identifies persistent quality issues and reduces their incidence in subsequent submittals. This system shall include documentation that is reviewable by the Government upon request.

The contractor accepts ultimate responsibility, liability and duty to control the quality of the services provided to the Government as stipulated in the FAR, Part 36.609-2. The contractor shall be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and the coordination of all designs sub-consultants under the contract. The contractor shall, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors or deficiencies in its designs, drawings, specifications, and other services.

The firm shall demonstrate existence of a Quality Control (QC) system that will be used for all work submitted to the National Park Service. The QC system shall be utilized by the prime contractor and all subcontractors and shall, at a minimum, include the following:

1. Coordination of drawings and specifications within each discipline, and between all disciplines.

2. Verification that all documents to be submitted are accurate and correct.

3. Checklists for internal review of drawings, specifications, calculations, and cost estimates.

4. Verification, prior to submittal to the National Park Service, that all required documents for each submission are included and complete, per the contract requirements.

5. Verification that all required documents have undergone a QC review prior to submittal to the National

Park Service. The National Park Service requires documentation and submittal of all QC work performed.

6. Confirmation that National Park Service submittal standards including, but not limited to, formatting, utilization of drawing symbols, and font size requirements have been conformed to.

Further information on National Park Service governing laws and policies, standards, definitions, practices and guidelines can be found at http://www.nps.gov/dscw/information.htm.

UNIVERSAL DESIGN AND ACCESSIBILITY

The NPS is dedicated to making projects universally designed and seamlessly accessible to visitors and staff with disabilities. All planning, design and construction projects shall meet and exceed the requirements of the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS), Section 504 (program access) and Section 508 (electronic and information technology access) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The 2006 NPS Management Policies require that projects exceed these federal requirements and apply the tents of universal design to provide usable and inclusive experience for all. To meet the requirements of Executive Order 13548, “Increasing ‘Federal Employment of Individuals with Disabilities”, NPS assures visitor use areas and employee areas are accessible and provide the connectivity to all amenities so that employees with disabilities can fully participate in all programs.

Universal Design and Accessibility laws, regulations, checklists, best practices, training modules, standard drawings and specifications may be found at http://www.nps.gov/dscw/definitionsdc_u.htm#ufas and http://www.nps.gov/dscw/ds-universal-design.htm.

CULTURAL RESOURCES PROTECTION:

The NPS will protect, preserve, and foster appreciation of the cultural resources in its custody and demonstrate its respect for the peoples traditionally associated with those resources through appropriate programs of research, planning and stewardship.” (From the preamble to Part 5 of NPS Management Policies) Design work under the contract will involve rehabilitation, alteration, addition or improvement of sites and structures containing natural and cultural resources. Historic properties may encompass landscapes, structures, landmarks, and buried resources, requiring accepted treatment approach reflecting NPS stewardship principles and assuring the longevity of the property. Firms will be required to successfully identify and address resource values and issues, and effectively apply both the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and NPS Cultural Resource Management Policies (Directors Order #28). Design interventions must align with stewardship principles acceptable to NPS. Design must not jeopardize the historical or archeological integrity of a property or site.

Decisions or actions that would directly result in degradation or loss of historic character or fabric to the resource must be avoided.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

The U.S. Government has adopted sustainable design as the guiding principle (http://www.energystar.gov/ia/business/Guiding _Principles.pdf, for its planning, design and construction projects.

By definition, this means meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. In practice, sustainable design utilizes best available solutions within the design tradition and conserves global resources, utilizes energy efficiently, recycles materials and waste, and specifies ecologically responsible methods, practices, and materials in the construction and operations of Government facilities. Accordingly, the selected firm(s) must exhibit current credentials and demonstrated competency in sustainable design and “green” building systems. Firms shall validate their sustainable abilities and practices through completed LEED certified construction projects and green building awards and have LEED accredited professionals on staff as part of the firm.

Sustainability related executive orders, laws, regulations, best practices, and some recommended products may be found at http://www.nps.gov/dscw/ds-sustainability.htm http://www.nps.gov/dscw/information.htm http://www.nps.gov/dscw/definitionsdc_u.htm#ufas http://www.nps.gov/dscw/ds-universal-design.htm http://www.energystar.gov/ia/business/Guiding%20_Principles.pdf http://www.nps.gov/dscw/ds-sustainability.htm
