This proposed contract is being solicited on a 100% set-aside basis for small business concerns. The Small Business size standard classification is North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code 541310, Architectural 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 Number N62478ACQ33FY2107 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 (SBVOSB) 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 architectural design and engineering services expected to be performed under this contract include, but are not limited to the execution and delivery of Functional Analysis and Concept Development (FACD) workshops/Concept Design Workshops (CDW)/Design Charrettes; Military Construction (MILCON) project documentation (DD Form 1391); Design- Build (D-B) Request for Proposal (RFP) construction documents; Design-Bid-Build (DBB) RFP or Final Design construction documents; engineering investigations/studies; cost estimates; and Post Construction Award Services (PCAS). PCAS consists of technical consultation during construction, including, but not limited to, review of Design-Build (D-B) DOR documents, review of construction submittals, response to RFI’s, site visits, operations and maintenance support information, record drawing review, and other miscellaneous services.

1. Specialized Experience

2. Professional Qualifications

3. Past Performance

4. Program Management and Capacity

5. Quality Control Program

6. Sustainable Design

7. Firm Location

8. Volume of Work (tiebreaker)

Criterion 1 – Specialized Experience (SF330 Part I, Section F and Attachment (1)):

Firms/Offerors will be evaluated on specialized experience in performance of services of recent relevant projects that are similar to those anticipated under this contract. Firms/ Offerors must demonstrate design experience as a Design-Bid-Build (DBB) Designer of Record (DOR) on an A-E contract or as the A-E DOR for a Design-Build (D-B) construction contract in “Recent Relevant Projects”.

(1) Projects involving new construction and/or repair/renovation, for any of the following facility types: bachelor quarters/apartments, fire stations, fitness centers, dining facilities, auditoriums/theaters, exchange/retail stores, headquarter buildings, administration/training facilities, child development centers/pre-school facilities, laboratories, aircraft hangars, distribution warehouses, and/or armories/ammunition storage. Other facility types not listed here may be submitted for consideration in the evaluation.

(2) Each project’s Construction Cost shall be approximately $20 million or less.

1. Design experience in more types of “Recent Relevant Projects” to show a diverse range of experience.

2. Design experience in repair/renovation projects may be given more favorable consideration than new construction projects.

3. Design experience in “Recent Relevant Projects” located in Hawaii and other tropical regions similar to Hawaii. Tropical is defined as being located between the tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer, excluding arid and high elevation areas. Tropical Regions are hot and humid and require special attention in the design of shore-based facilities subject to highly corrosive environments.

Note: For projects in areas such as Florida, the Gulf Coast, Okinawa, as well as other areas north of the Tropic of Cancer, firms must clearly demonstrate that the project’s location deals with environmental concerns for all elements of a tropical environment subject to highly corrosive environments.

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.

NOTE: If the firm is a Joint Venture (JV), projects performed by the JV should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the JV, projects may be submitted for either JV partner, not to exceed a total of five (5) projects for each JV partner.

FIRM/OFFEROR WAS A SUBCONSULTANT ON A PROJECT, DO NOT SUBMIT THE

CPARS FOR THE PRIME A-E; INSTEAD SUBMIT A PPQ FOR THE FIRM/OFFEROR.

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 is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the response date set forth in this notice, firms should complete and submit with their responses the first page of the PPQ (Attachment (3)), which will provide the Contract information (Blocks 1 - 4) for the respective project(s). Firms/Offerors 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. Firms/Offerors should follow up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of the PPQ. If requested by the client, PPQs may be submitted directly to the Government's points of contact, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Hawaii, Code ACQ33, Attn: Ms. Alice Mende via email at Alice.S.Mende.civ@us.navy.mil and Ms. Brittney Takata (Alternate) via email at Brittney.A.Takata.civ@us.navy.mil, prior to the response date.

Firms/Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their response PPQs or CPARS previously submitted in response to other A-E services procurements. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Firms/Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Criterion 1, Specialized Experience. Firms/Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues. Such information shall not exceed one single-sided page in total and will not be counted towards the SF330 page limitation. Include the information immediately after each evaluation that is associated in Section F.

The PPQ shall be from the contracting agent and/or their representative responsible for the construction contract administration or from the facility owner/user.

PPQs will be considered if it is prepared and signed by the project owner’s/client’s representative, i.e. someone who is authorized to provide an evaluation or feedback on the A-E’s performance to show the client’s satisfaction. If the Firm/Offeror was hired as a sub-consultant to a Prime A-E, that Prime A-E who hired you cannot provide a PPQ;

rather, that Prime A-E’s client or their representative must be the one to provide the PPQ. Past performance information not related to the projects described to meet Criterion 1 will not be considered.

Do not submit awards, letters of commendation, certificates of appreciation, etc. They 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 access past performance information such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and inquiries with previous customers/owners.
