Approval #24-27 was approved by the Assistant Commander for Contracting on 11 September 2024 to increase the capacity by $81,000,000 to a maximum not-to-exceed value of $180,000,000.

The work under this A-E services IDIQ includes design and engineering services for various waterfront projects and other projects at various locations under the cognizance of NAVFAC Hawaii; however, on special occasions, work may also be required in other areas outside of Hawaii.

Specified design and engineering services for waterfront and other projects include, but are not limited to, execution and delivery of Military Construction (MILCON) project documentation (DD Form 1391);

Functional Analysis and Concept Development workshops/Design Charrettes; Design-Build Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation documents; Design-Bid-Build (DBB) Design contract documents;

SPECSINTACT program; cost estimates utilizing the MII cost estimating system; technical surveys and reports including concept studies, site engineering investigation, topographical survey, geotechnical investigation, hazardous material survey, Munitions of Explosive Concern survey, hydrographic survey, and others; Collateral Equipment Buy Packages; Comprehensive Interior Design including Structural Interior Design and Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment; and Post Construction Award Services (PCAS).

MN-BM HI is currently performing work under existing task orders issued under this A-E services IDIQ to support

It is anticipated this work will require mission-critical modifications with expected award amounts totaling as follows.

source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that are not expected to be recovered through competition and would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s requirements as implemented at FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) for the following reasons.

Through task orders awarded by NAVFAC Hawaii under this IDIQ contract, MN-BM HI, performs design and engineering services for

MN-BM HI has requisite knowledge and experience to provide design and engineering services to complete the above projects.

MN-BM HI has provided similar specialized designs for these types of facilities in other locations and has extensive experience at JBPHH, Navy Region Hawaii and PHNSY. Continuing to use MN-BM HI would result in only one interpretation of the designs, thereby ensuring continuity and integrity of the design intent towards the final designs. Using a different A-E will incur unnecessary, additional delays and costs, and potential quality inconsistencies, which may lead to the need for further normalizations. Failure to award these requirements timely will ultimately result in detriment to the mission to support our warfighters, as there are no other contracting tools available within NAVFAC Hawaii that will satisfy these time-sensitive and critical requirements. In addition, the start-up costs for other A-E firms to familiarize themselves with the projects and customer requirements are prohibitive and cannot be recouped through the qualifications-based A- E selection process. The start-up costs include meetings with end-users and other Government entities; site field investigations;

environmental assessments; reviews of studies; and a complete revalidation of the concept design.

Award of task orders under this IDIQ contract can be accomplished in three to six months, whereas a stand-alone competitive contract action is anticipated to take from ten to 13 months, depending on the estimated value. The associated administrative cost for Government personnel (acquisition and technical) to re-procure and re-administer this effort would also result in a substantial duplication of costs estimated at a minimum of $2,000,000 per project. Duplicative time required to verify the original assessment and design are estimated to be approximately six to eight months and would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Navy�s mission need dates.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors As Practicable.

A synopsis of the proposed contract modification was not published in Contract Opportunities (at SAM.gov), pursuant to the exception FAR 5.202(a)(11), where this proposed contract action is made under the terms of an existing contract that was previously synopsized in sufficient detail to comply with the requirements of FAR 5.207. A formal market survey was not conducted as it is not practicable for the reasons discussed in paragraph 5 above, for any firm other than MN-BM HI to provide the required follow-on work for additional design and PCAS services, due to the highly specialized nature of A-E services. The Government conducted market research by considering other A-E firms under existing current IDIQ contracts and A-E firms that have SF330s Architect-Engineer Qualifications on file with the NAVFAC Hawaii A-E Contracts Branch (Code CON33) as available sources to potentially solicit these design and PCAS requirements. After a technical evaluation of three firms� qualifications, no firms were identified or determined to be more highly qualified than MN-BM HI for the requirements for these projects. It is also believed that no other firm will express a serious interest in the work if that firm is required to assume responsibility and liability for a design that was prepared by another firm.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the services covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Action to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

NAVFAC Hawaii anticipates removing barriers to future competition through award of a new A-E IDIQ for Waterfront Projects, which will be solicited on a full and open competition basis with projected award in second quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2026.
