N62478-19-R-5032 was cancelled and is replaced with N62478-19-R-5034.

This procurement will result in one Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for multi-discipline Architect-Engineer (A-E) services for mechanical engineering projects 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 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. Estimated construction cost of project is between $300,000 and $30,000,000. Estimated start date is October 2019.

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 541330, Engineering Services. 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.

The market research study Sources Sought Announcements OPHA1FY190001 and OPHA1FY190002 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, 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 primarily for Request for Proposal (RFP) documentation for Design-Bid-Build (DBB) mechanical engineering projects with associated multi-discipline architect-engineering support services for new construction, alteration, repair, and installation of mechanical systems and associated facilities. Other design and engineering services may include, but not limited to, Design-Build (DB) RFP documentation, engineering investigations/concept studies, Functional Analysis Concept Development (FACD)/charrettes, and Post Construction Award Services

(PCAS).

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.

The selected firm and its subsidiaries or affiliates may be tasked to assist in the preparation of a statement of work, a plan, or a specification for a construction project. This includes concept design, which includes preparation of project programming documents (DD 1391), facility studies, environment assessments, or other activities that result in identification of project scope and cost. The selected firm, its subsidiaries or affiliates that design or prepare specifications for a construction contract cannot provide the construction services for the same contract.

Interviews may be scheduled with firms slated as the most highly qualified. Firms slated for interviews may be asked to clarify information contained in the SF330 submittal. Elaborate presentations are not desired.

FIRM/OFFEROR AND DO NOT SUBMIT THE CPARS/CCASS FOR THE PRIME

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR.

IF A CPARS/ACASS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your SF330. If the Firm/Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the response date set forth in this notice, the Firm/Offeror should complete and submit with their responses the first page of the PPQ (Attachment (1)), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Firm/Offeror may submit a PPQ previously submitted under a different Notice/RFP, such as NAVFAC or USACE Past Performance Questionnaires (legible copies are acceptable) as long as it is on the same form as posted with this Synopsis. Firm/Offeror should follow up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If requested by the client, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Hawaii, Code ACQ33, Attn: Ms. Alice Mende and Ms. Rika Delaunay via email at alice.mende@navy.mil and rika.delaunay@navy.mil respectively, prior to the response date.

Firms/Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues. Information shall not exceed one single-sided pages in total and will not be counted towards the SF330 page limitation. Include the information immediately after each evaluation that it is associated in Section F.

The Performance Survey shall be from the contracting agent and/or their representative responsible for the construction contract administration, or from the facility owner/user. It shall not be from the prime construction contractor on a design-build project nor shall it be from a prime contractor to a subcontractor. Past performance information not related to the projects described to meet Criterion 1 will not be considered. Past performance information provided in Section F for subcontractor’s or sub-consultant’s past performance will not be given the same level of consideration as the prime contractor.

Awards, letters of commendation, certificates of appreciation, etc. shall not be submitted and will not be considered in the evaluation.

The Government, however, is not restricted to the evaluations provided in the SF330 and may use other sources to assess past performance information such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and inquiries with previous customers/owners. PPIRS/CPARS will be evaluated for the prime A-E firm that will perform the work, and the Government’s search will be based upon the prime A-E firm’s DUNS number. PPIRS/CPARS of sub-contractors will not be evaluated.
