Note: Prior to the 100% design submission, the Contractor will submit a 35% and 65% design for Government review and subsequent approval to finalize the 100% design

d. Delivery Order (DO) – A DO is a document prepared by the Government and issued to the Contractor against the basic contract. Its purpose is to place an order for labor, materials and other associated items as necessary to complete the design and/or design-build/construction of a specific project. The DO requires the Contractor to submit cost proposal and design documents for a project. Following submittal of the proposal and at the Government’s discretion, discussions may be held with the Contractor to clarify and/or negotiate elements of the proposal. If a construct only DO is issued as a follow on to a previously awarded 35% design DO, the design costs will be deducted from the total amount of the costs of the construction DO if the construct award is made within 1 year of the design approval

f. Statement of Work (SOW) – A document prepared by the Government and issued to the Contractor as part of the DO. Included in the SOW are the specific technical requirements for the project.

Request for Proposal (RFP) – A package of documents issued to the contractor requesting a cost proposal for construction and design documents for a project based on the DO. Following submittal of the proposal and at the government’s option, discussions may be held with the contractor to clarify and / or negotiate elements of the proposal. The RFP will be issued on design or design-build DO’s

Invitation for Bid (IFB) – A package of documents issued to a contractor requesting a firm price for construction and the required design documents for a project based on the DO. Once submitted, no revisions to the bid are permitted. Award is made to the low bidder. The IFB will be issued on construct only DO’s when a design is already available.

Professional Certification – Professional certification will be required on all life safety plans, fire suppression plans and pre-engineered structures. If requested by the Contracting Officer, additional plans will be stamped for a pre negotiated fee for certain task orders. The process consists of affixing a seal or statement to a drawing or design document to indicate that the work to which it is affixed has been performed by a person licensed as a professional, in that area of expertise, in the state of New Mexico.

Conventional Design-Build – The process by which the same contractor provides both the design and construction services for a project, completing the design before construction activity begins.

Fast Track Design-Build – The process by which the same contractor provides both the design and construction services for a project, beginning construction at a mutually agreed point prior to completion of the design and construction drawings.

m. Color Board – A visual presentation consisting of samples of the various finishes, grouped together based on location within the project that may be required as directed by the Contracting Officer. Samples shall be of adequate size to show the full pattern, texture, and color of each item and shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer in the standard submittal format.

n. Design Costs – Those costs identified by the Contractor, not to exceed the 6% statutory limit, as part of the

DO process which represent the portion of the overall project cost attributed to preparation of the design for a construction project. If a construct only DO is issued as a follow on to a previously awarded 35% design DO, the design costs will be deducted from the total amount of the costs of the construction DO if the construct award is made within 1 year of the design approval.

o. Technical Representative of the Contracting Officer (TRCO): The Base Civil Engineer representative who performs technical surveillance and evaluation of the work under this contract. This designation in no way authorizes anyone other than the Contracting Officer to commit the Government to changes in the terms of the contract. Any site conditions that impact the construction of the project and indicate the need for possible changes to the SOW must be presented to the Contracting Officer in written format.

3. DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

a. An Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP) issued under this contract will be issued to all the contractors and will include a Delivery Order (DO) defining the project requirements. The project may ultimately require the contractor to produce a full design, partial design, or no design depending on the type of DO request. For example, a new project with no, or partial, previous design accomplished will be issued as an RFP and will include requirements to provide a 35% (minimum) design as part of the contractor’s bid or proposal.

Conversely, a project for which a 100% design is already available will be issued as an IFB and will only require a bid or cost proposal in the prescribed format. If awarded a Delivery Order (DO) for the project, the successful contractor will, as necessary, complete the design to the 100% level. A delivery order is a document prepared by the Government and issued to the contractor against the basic contract. Its purpose is to place an order for labor, materials and other associated items as necessary to complete the design and/or construction of a specific project.

For IFB's and RFP’s, the cost proposal will be submitted using the reports generated by the CPG. In addition, the DO may also include but is not limited to, the following, as applicable, based on the level of design required:

(1) Government prepared SOW, sketches, and any available as-builts, specifications, or design information.

(2) Design calculations requirements.

(3) Construction drawings requirements including professional certifications.

(4) Direction regarding fast-track vs. design-build.

(5) Timeframes for preparing the proposal, completing design work (if awarded), and completing construction.

(6) Contractor prepared specification sections and version required.

(7) Submittal requirements.

(8) Government Furnished Materials (GFM) or Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).

b. Proposals received in the RFP format will be evaluated based on compliance with the design requirements and the proposed price. The government reserves the right to enter into discussions with the contractor for the purpose of requesting minor revisions to the proposals. Proposals received in the IFB format will be evaluated based on low bid.

c. The contractor may be required to work within controlled or restricted areas. Refer to paragraphs 19 and 20 for additional information concerning security.

d. Occasionally, the government will have a need to establish a final price for a project which is not already funded but for which there is a reasonable expectation that funding will be received in the future. In that case, an RFP will be issued to the contractor for preparation of a 35% design (if not already designed) and a cost proposal.

The 35% design fee (not to exceed the 6% statutory limit of the programmed amount) shall be negotiated for those projects not already designed. The contractor must provide an acceptance period of 120 calendar days following establishment of a final price. If the project is awarded prior to 120 calendar day acceptance period, the contractor will be issued a DO to complete design work as needed and accomplish the construction. If the project is not awarded within the 120 day acceptance period following the establishment of a final price, the contractor will be paid the negotiated 35% design fee.

4. COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION AND COMPLETION OF WORK:

The contractor shall commence work and complete the project in accordance with the time frames established in the DO and NTP. At completion of project, the contractor shall fill out and submit a “Transfer and Acceptance of Military Real Property (DD 1354). The DD 1354 form can be obtained from http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/infomgt/forms/eforms/dd1354.pdf

5. DESIGN DOCUMENTS, GENERAL:

The design documents developed by the contractor shall comply with the following requirements:

a. The Contractor shall receive one (1) copy of the appropriate record drawings if available, with the DO. The Government does not guarantee the accuracy or adequacy of the existing record drawings. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to field verify all Government provided record drawings during preliminary site visits, planning of the project, and prior to issuance of each DO. The Contractor shall be responsible for the reproduction of these drawings if multiple copies are needed.

b. When design is required by the DO, the Contractor shall develop all drawings using latest version of Auto CAD computer aided drafting software and be prepared to utilize Standard D (24” x 36”) or Standard B (11” x 17”) drawing format. All drawings shall be in the same electronic format. The Holloman AFB cover sheet and title blocks shall be used. Templates for these will be provided to the Contractor on disk in Auto CAD. All drawings shall be drawn to Standard English scale as appropriate for the size of drawing. The Contractor shall submit three

(3) sets of Standard D and/or B size drawings in correct scale to the Contracting Officer with their proposal.

c. The Contractor shall prepare drawings, as specified in the DO, for Government approval prior to the start of construction or as indicated in the DO. It is not necessary for each drawing to be on an individual sheet; more than one drawing can be included on a sheet. Each sheet shall have an approved title block and border with professional certification when required by the DO. The title block shall contain project information including but not limited to Project number, DO number, Project Name, and date. Basic design criteria utilized for each discipline will be included on the appropriate drawings as required by the DO.
