PACKAGE TO DOWNLOAD.

This procurement will result in one Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for multi-discipline Architect-Engineer (A-E) services for design and engineering projects, specifications, cost estimates and other related services within the State of Hawaii, but may also include work worldwide. These services will be procured in accordance with 40 USC Chapter 11, Selection of Architects and Engineers, as implemented by FAR Subpart 36.6. The IDIQ contract will be for a base period of one year and four one-year option periods (if exercised).

The options may be exercised within the time frame specified in the resultant contract at the sole discretion of the Government subject to workload and/or acceptable A-E performance under the subject contract. There will be no future synopsis in the event the options are exercised. The total fee for the contract term shall not exceed $15,000,000. The guaranteed minimum for the contract term (including option years) is $10,000. Firm-fixed price task orders will be negotiated for this contract. There will be no dollar limit per task order and no dollar limit per year. No other general notification to firms for other similar projects performed under this contract will be made. Estimated start date is October 2018.

This proposed contract is being solicited on a 100% set-aside for small business concerns basis. The Small Business size standard classification is North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code 541310, Architectural Services ($7.5M in average annual gross receipts for the past three years). The Government seeks the most highly qualified firm to perform the required services, based on the demonstrated competence and qualifications, in accordance with the selection criteria. For this contract, the lead discipline shall be a registered Architect.

The market research study Sources Sought Announcements OPHA1FY170001 and OPHA1FY170002 conducted by NAVFAC Hawaii included an assessment of relevant qualifications and capabilities of potentially qualified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms. As a result of the market research analysis, there was not the minimum number of qualified WOSB or SDVOSB firms to perform the type of work solicited, and a determination was made to set aside this procurement under the Small Business Program as a 100% small business set-aside. The NAVFAC Hawaii small business office concurs with this decision.

The type of design and engineering services expected to be performed under this contract are specifications, cost estimates, Request for Proposal (RFP) documentation for Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) projects and other related services at various locations under the cognizance of NAVFAC Hawaii. The scope of work focuses on alterations, repair of buildings, structures and minor construction of various base development facility types.

All contractors are advised that registration in System for Award Management (SAM) Database is required prior to award of a contract. Failure to register in the SAM Database may render your firm ineligible for award. For more information, check the SAM Web site:

https://www.sam.gov.

The awarded contract will be subject to specific provisions addressing the avoidance of organizational conflicts of interest, including NFAS 5252.209-9300, Organizational Conflicts of Interest. The prime firm for this contract will be required to perform throughout the contract term.
