Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) basis. The level of design work may be Type A, Type B/Title I, Title II or any combination of these as described in section 3.1 of this document.

Specific project requirements will be outlined in the individual task order and in subsequent pre-design meetings.

1.2. The A-E shall be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and the coordination of all designs, drawings, specifications, and other services furnished under this contract. The A-E shall, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors or deficiencies in its design drawings, specifications, and other services. The design of architectural, structural, mechanical, fire protection, electrical, civil, corrosion control, or other engineering features of the work shall be accomplished by – or under the direct supervision of

– architects and engineers licensed within their respective disciplines.

1.3. The A-E shall be responsible for performing and/or preparing the following: site visits and investigations, confirm program requirements, design and economic analysis, construction drawings and specifications, geospatial (GIS) drawings, cost estimates, color boards, bidding schedules as required, color renderings of designs, surveys of facilities for asbestos containing materials (ACM) and lead coatings including sampling, testing and abatement design in order to provide a complete set of contractual documents associated with construction for maintenance, repair, and alteration of existing and new construction of base facilities and infrastructure systems. The A-E shall provide investigative and conceptual design services for engineering studies and inspection and construction supervision services for designated construction projects. The projects may require multidiscipline engineering designs and services be provided. All projects will require hard copy and electronic submittals as described in Section 4 of this SOW.

1.4. The A-E shall complete all individual tasks in accordance with the general design guidance and standards contained in the most current version of the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications

(UFGS).

1.5. The contract will run for 365 calendar days from the date of signing the first task order. The Air

Force reserves the right to extend or not to extend, at its option, the length of the contract for four additional option years. (Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS)

(C10) 36.691-2).

1.6. All designs, drawings, specifications, notes and other works developed in the performance of this contract shall become the sole property of the Government. The Government shall be considered the “person for whom the work was prepared” for the purpose of authorship in any copyrightable work under 17 U.S.C. 201(b). With respect thereto, the Contractor agrees not to assert or authorize others to assert any rights nor establish any claim under the design patent or copyright laws. The Contractor for a period of three (3) years after completion of the project agrees to furnish all retained works on the request of the Contracting Officer. Unless otherwise provided in this contract, the Contractor will have the right to retain copies of all works beyond such period. (DFARS 252.227-7023)

2. General Information:

2.1. The A-E shall be an individual or firm, or any duly authorized representative(s) thereof, professionally engaged in the practice of architecture and/or engineering, qualified by registration and experience, and licensed within their respective disciplines to perform all work necessary to fulfill the requirements of the services hereinafter specified.

2.2. The Base Civil Engineer Design Manager (DM), the Contracting Officer (CO), or their official designated representatives shall be those individuals authorized to act on the Government’s behalf for the purposes of this contract. For the purposes of this contract, the DM shall be an employee of the Base Maintenance Contract (BMC) contractor and may be different for each task assigned under this contract.

2.2.1. The contract will be administered by the designated CO within the Base Contracting

Office, AFNWC/PKOC. All questions of a contractual nature shall be addressed to this office. It should be noted that changes to the scope of any given design task order must be processed through the CO as a change order to the contract task involved. The A-E shall not proceed with any change in design scope until receiving a notice to proceed from the CO. The CO has the sole authority to direct the A-E to proceed with any design task or change in design scope.

2.2.2. The designated representative of the Base Civil Engineer for this contract, and all tasks made on it, will be the assigned DM identified in each task description unless otherwise specified within the individual task order. All questions of a technical nature shall be addressed to the DM.

2.3. Key personnel shall be included in the SF 330 when submitted by the A-E. Any changes in key personnel throughout the length of the contract must be submitted in writing to the CO within thirty (30) calendar days.

2.4. The project’s Programmed Amount (PA) shall be clearly stated in each delivery order. If the A-E firm determines the project ‘s PA to be too low, they shall alert the government no later than the Preliminary Design (35%) submittal stage. All design fees will be negotiated prior to beginning work on the design task order. This agreed upon fee will be a firm fixed price for the individual design task order and shall be final. The A-E shall complete the design, as described in the task order, for the negotiated fee- so long as the scope of the design task effort is not significantly altered- regardless of any subsequent escalations in the estimated construction cost.

2.5. The Air Force reserves the right to alter the scope of the design task order. All additional design fees will be renegotiated through the CO prior to any work beginning on the revisions.

3. Services Required:

3.1. Services of all Architectural or Engineering disciplines may be required in the performance of this contract. Design services shall be broken down into the following performance types:

3.1.1.

Whenever it is necessary to use a manufacturer’s name to describe a type of product, at least three manufacturers shall be named, if possible, and shall include the words “or approved equal.” When “brand name or equal” descriptions are necessary, specification must clearly identify and describe the particular physical, functional, or other characteristics of the brand-name items that are considered essential to satisfy the requirement. Materials, components, and equipment shall be designated for submittal to the Contracting Officer for approval. The term “Contracting Officer” shall be used in all specifications sections in place of reference to

“owner” or “Architect/Engineer.”

3.8.1. SDSFIE Data Standards/Structure: All geospatial and associated data must comply with the latest version of Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment

(SDSFIE) available from the CADD/GIS Technology Center at http://tsc.wes.army.mil/products/TSSDS-TSFMS/tssds/html/. These data will be organized using the most recent SDSFIE specifications for entity naming conventions, attribute fields, domain names, and topology.

3.8.2. Surveys: Global Position Systems (GPS) or comparable traditional survey methods will be used to collect geospatial data (e.g., northing, easting, and elevation above or below the

Earth's surface) for all contract activities where geospatial data is involved. For construction purposes this data will be obtained at the time of construction and prior to burial in the case of underground utilities. Survey methods must meet accuracy standards for actual results. All data must be collected within submeter accuracy, except for utilities underground data, which must be collected at survey grade accuracy of 1 foot or less.

3.8.3. Database Design/Topology: The database design must be reviewed, approved and provided before data capture begins. The utility data must have topology, with defined relationships between features and be a true network. Linear features must be connected.
