Tasks that may be ordered under this contract will require the successful offerors to utilize the following computer programs/applications during performance: Cube, TransCAD, Synchro, Sidra, Highway Capacity Software (HCS), CORSIM, VISSIM, SimTraffic, MicroStation, AutoCAD.

The DD Form 1391 documentation is prepared in the Navy’s Electronic Project Generator (EPG) and includes cost valuation, surveying, soil borings, concept sketches, site sketches with utility points of connection and may require enhancement of previously prepared documentation, including economic analysis and recommendations for potential utility impacts and sustainable features.

AE firms are required to prepare cost estimates utilizing the MCACES MII estimating system, specifications in the SPECSINTACT program, design-build RFPs utilizing NAVFAC Design-Build Masters, and drawings in AutoCAD (2018 or higher) or Revit (2018 or higher) utilizing the National CADD Standards format with NAVFAC specified modifications. 3D renderings and BIM modeling may also be required. AE firms or others under contract or providing services to NAVFAC may request software installation packages from NAVFAC Atlantic CI Cost. The AE is to send an email to NAVFAC-CI-Cost@navy.mil with the following in the Subject Section "MII License Request". Software is generally distributed to AEs free of charge; however, accompanying database licenses must be purchased and licensed as appropriate by the user.

All engineering and design services shall comply with the most current edition of FC 1-300-09N Navy & Marine Corps Design Procedures, and other requirements as indicated on the Whole Building Design Guide Web Site (www.wbdg.org). Selected AE firm is required to have online access to web-based support programs and email via the internet for routine exchange of correspondence/information.

Solicitations for individual task orders, therefore, will require awardees to notify the Contracting Officer of contractual relationships with other entities (agencies) when responding to solicitations. IDIQ contract awardees that have contracts with entities (agencies) at time of task order solicitations may be disqualified from award of such task orders absent submission of an acceptable plan to minimize any Organizational Conflict of Interest. Such mitigation plans will be required to explain how the A/E plans to avoid potential bias of advice, products and services. The Contracting Officer will review mitigation plans and determine whether or not a conflict of interest exists that cannot be avoided or mitigated.

The restrictions described herein shall apply to the awardees and their affiliates, consultants and subconsultants under this contract. If the Contractor under this contract prepares or assists in preparing a statement of work, specifications and plans, the Contract and its affiliates shall be ineligible to bid or participate, in any capacity, in any contractual effort which is based on such statement of work or specifications and plans as the prime contractor, subcontractor, consultant of in any similar capacity. The Contractor shall not incorporate its products or services in such statement of work or specifications unless so directed in writing by the Contracting Officer, in which case the restrictions shall not apply.

This contract shall include this clause in its subcontractor’s or consultants’ agreements concerning the performance of this contract.

Criteria (5) through (6) are slightly less important than criteria (1) – (4) and equal among themselves; Criteria (7) is the least importance and will be used as a tie-breaker among technically equal firms . Failure to provide requested data or to comply with the instructions in this notice could result in a firm being considered less qualified or eliminated from consideration. Specific evaluation criteria are as follows:

1. Specialized Experience

2. Professional Qualifications and Technical Competence

3. Past Performance

4. Quality Control

5. Program Management, Capacity and Location

6. Commitment to Small Business

7. Volume of Work

All projects submitted in the SF-330 must have been completed by the office/branch/regional office/individual team member actually proposed to manage and/or perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from evaluation. To enable verification, firms should include the DUNS number along with each firm name in the SF330 Part 1, Section F, block 25, “Firm Name” Include a contract number or project identification number in block 21. Include an e-mail address and phone number for the point of contact in block 23(c). In block 24, include in the project description the contract period of performance, date of project completion (MM/DD/YEAR), award contract value, current contract value, define professional service role and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above. For projects performed as a subcontractor or a joint venture involving different partners, specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

Clearly define role and responsibilities for the demonstrated project. Product and services provided for each project.

Note: If the offeror is a joint venture (JV), information should be submitted on projects performed by the JV.

If the JV has not performed relevant projects, information should be submitted for each JV partner, although not to exceed a combined total of five (5) projects.
