The IDIQ contract will be for a base period of one year and four one-year option periods (if exercised). Additionally, a six-month option to extend services, pursuant to FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, will be included and may be exercised. The total fee for the contract term shall not exceed $20,000,000.

The guaranteed minimum for the contract term (including option years) is $3,000. 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 start date is April 2026.

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 ($25.5M in annual receipts over 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.

The market research study conducted by NAVFAC Hawaii included an assessment of relevant qualifications and capabilities of potentially qualified firms. As a result of the market research analysis, a determination was made to solicit this procurement under the Small Business Program as a 100% small business set-aside. The NAVFAC Hawaii small business office concurs with this decision.

For this acquisition, the Government is seeking a Prime A-E firm or Prime JV whose primary discipline shall be in mechanical engineering within the Prime. The types of mechanical design and engineering services expected to be performed under this contract include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Functional Analysis and Concept Development (FACD) workshops/Concept Design Workshops (CDW)/Design Charrettes;

• Design-Build (D-B) Request for Proposal (RFP) construction documents;

• Design-Bid-Build (DBB) RFP for Final Design construction documents;

• Engineering studies and reports; and

• Post Construction Award Services (PCAS). PCAS consisting of technical consultation during construction, including, but not limited to, review of D-B DOR documents, review of construction submittals, response to Request for Information (RFI), site visits, operations and maintenance support information, record drawings, and other miscellaneous services.

Interested firms are advised to ensure System of Award Management (SAM) registration is current at time of offer submission and at the time of award. For instructions on registering with SAM, see the SAM website at https://www.sam.gov/. (Note: Submitting the SF330 is not considered an offer or quotation because pricing is not included, thus the A-E firm is eligible to submit their SF330 even if they have not registered in SAM.)

The awarded contract will be subject to specific provisions addressing the avoidance of organizational conflicts of interest. The prime firm for this contract will be required to perform throughout the contract term.

No contract for the construction of a project shall be awarded to the selected firm, its subsidiaries or affiliates that designed the project or its subsidiaries or affiliates, except with the approval of the head of the agency or authorized representative. This includes the selected firm, its subsidiaries or affiliates preparing a concept design, which includes preparation of project programming documents (DD1391), facility siting studies, environmental assessments, or other activities that result in identification of project scope and cost.

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.

12. Above ground/below ground Mogas/Diesel fuel storage/distribution systems

13. Petroleum/Oils/Lubricant (POL) receiving, storing, distribution and dispensing systems for aviation and marine diesel fuels on military land-based facilities.

Firms do not need to demonstrate experience in all 13 project types above but must minimally demonstrate experience in eight (8) out of the 13 types. Each feature listed above does not have to be in a single project scope. If a single project has multiple relevant features, the firm must provide the construction dollar value of each relevant feature and must meet the specified construction cost thresholds individually.

“Specified Design/Engineering Services” include the following three (3) types:

1. Preparation of drawings/specifications for the purpose of a Design-Bid-Build (DBB) construction contract and/or for a Design-Build (DB) construction contract as the Designer of Record (DOR) for “Relevant Projects”.

2. Preparation of Design-Build (D-B) Request for Proposal solicitation documents utilizing the NAVFAC Design-Build RFP Six-Part Master Format for “Relevant Projects”.

3. Preparation of Engineering Studies and Reports for “Relevant Projects”.

“Specified Design/Engineering Services” shall have been completed or substantially completed within the past ten (10) years as of the closing date of this notice. Services that are on-going will not be considered. Services (i.e. DBB or D-B RFP) shall be exclusive of Post Construction Award Services (PCAS).

Firms do not need to demonstrate experience in all three (3) types of “Specified Design/Engineering Services” (i.e. DBB, D-B RFP, etc.). In order to be evaluated as having minimally met Criterion 1, firms must clearly demonstrate that they have sufficient mechanical design experience in “Relevant Projects” from any of the projects that the firm submits. Firms must clearly demonstrate experience in at least preparation of drawings/specifications (as a DBB DOR on an A-E Contract and/or as a D-B construction contract DOR).

NOTE: Only experience performed by the firm in the capacity/role as the Prime A-E or as a sub-consultant will be considered. Experience from a firm’s sub-consultant(s) will not be considered, except for experience in “POL receiving, storing, distribution and dispensing systems for aviation and marine diesel fuels on military land-based facilities”. Firms will only be allowed to submit project(s) for “POL receiving, storing, distribution and dispensing systems for aviation and marine diesel fuels on military land-based facilities” that were performed by either the firm itself or the firm’s sub-consultant to demonstrate experience for this criterion. Projects not meeting these requirements will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation.

Favorable Items: Firms may be considered more favorably by demonstrating the following, which are not listed in any order of preference:

1. Experience in more types of “Relevant Projects”.

2. Experience in more types of “Specified Design/Engineering Services”.

3. Experience with preparation of NAVFAC Six-Part Design-Build RFP documentation.

4. Experience with Functional Analysis and Concept Development (FACD)/design charrettes.

5. Experience in Department of Defense (DoD) projects (e.g. NAVFAC, USACE, Air

Force, NGB, etc.).

6. Experience in “Relevant Projects” designed and constructed in Hawaii and 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. Highly corrosive environments have Environmental Severity Classifications of C4 or C5 as defined in UFC 1-200-01 (DoD Building Code).

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.

7. Experience of the firm performed as the Prime A-E or Prime Joint Venture (JV) may be given more favorable consideration than experience performed by the firm as a sub-consultant.

8. Experience of the firm performed as Prime A-E DOR for a DBB contract may be given more favorable consideration than experience as a sub-consultant or as a D-B

DOR.

9. Proposed team with a demonstrated history of firms working successfully together on prior projects.

Submission Requirements:

Projects shall be submitted on the SF330, Part I, Section F and Attachment (A) Specialized Experience Supplemental Information. The projects indicated in Attachment (A) must match in the same order, the projects in Part I, Section F. Include Attachment (A) at the end of Section F.

Provide a maximum of ten (10) “Relevant Projects” with design and engineering services completed or substantially completed within approximately the past ten (10) years as of the closing date of this notice that best demonstrate specialized experience of the proposed team in the areas outlined above. If any of the design and engineering services are substantially completed, provide the substantial completion date and justify how the project is considered substantially completed in Block 24 “Brief Description of Project and Relevance to this Contract”. Sufficient information to determine the date of completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered. Projects with design and engineering services that are on-going will not be considered (Note: PCAS is not considered on-going design and engineering services.). If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted.

All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation. To enable verification, firms should include the Unique Entity Identifier number (UEIN) 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, award contract value, current contract value, and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above.

For projects performed as a subcontractor or a JV involving different partners, 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.

NOTE: If the firm is a JV, projects performed by the JV should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the JV, such as in the case of a newly formed JV, projects must be submitted for each JV partner, not to exceed a total of six (6) projects for each partner. Firms failing to provide projects from all JV partners will be considered to have not met the requirements of the criterion. If more than six (6) projects are submitted for each JV partner, the Government will only evaluate the first six projects in the order submitted and disregard any other projects thereafter.

Projects submitted on the SF-330, Part I, Section F and Attachment (A) shall be completed or substantially completed projects. Projects not completed or substantially completed will be excluded from evaluation consideration. For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract is considered a project, as is a stand-alone contract award. Do not submit an IDIQ contract as an example project. Instead, list relevant task orders or stand-alone contract awards that fit within the definition above. If a single project is executed over multiple task orders, provide all contract and task order numbers in the Part I, Section F from for that project.

The Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract. Examples of project work submitted that do not conform to this requirement will not be evaluated.

All information for Criterion 1 shall be submitted in the SF330, Part I, Section F and Attachment (A). The Government WILL NOT consider information submitted in addition to Part 1, Section F and Attachment (A) in evaluation of Criterion 1. (For example, information indicated for a project in Part I, Section E will not be considered in evaluation of the same project in Criterion 1.)

Criterion 2 – Professional Qualifications (SF330, Part I, Sections E & G and Attachment (B)):

Firms will be evaluated on professional qualifications, competence, and experience of the proposed key personnel in providing services to accomplish the tasks required under this contract, including participation in example projects as outlined in the SF330, Part 1, Section G.

SUBMIT ALL COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION(S) FOR EACH PROJECT UNDER

CRITERION 1. Submit all completed Interim and/or Final CPARS for the project when available. (Note: A “completed” CPARS does not mean a “Final” CPARS. A CPARS is considered “completed” when the Government Reviewing Official has signed the evaluation.)

IF A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment (C)) included in this notice is provided for the firm or its team members to submit to the client for each project included under Criterion 1, Specialized Experience. The PPQ must be signed by the client. Include the evaluation immediately after each project that it is associated with in Section F. The CPARS or PPQ provided in Section F will not be counted towards the SF330 page limitation. DO NOT SUBMIT A PPQ

WHEN A COMPLETED CPARS IS AVAILABLE. DO NOT SUBMIT CPARS FOR

PROJECTS FOR WHICH THE FIRM WAS NOT THE PRIME A-E. IF THE FIRM WAS THE

D-B DOR FOR A PROJECT, SUBMIT A PPQ FOR THE FIRM AND DO NOT SUBMIT THE

CPARS FOR THE PRIME CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR. IF THE FIRM WAS A

SUBCONSULTANT ON A PROJECT, DO NOT SUBMIT THE CPARS FOR THE PRIME

A-E; INSTEAD SUBMIT A PPQ FOR THE FIRM.

IF A CPARS 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 (C)), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Firms 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 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 Systems Command, Hawaii, Code CON33, Attn: Ms. Brittney Lazo via email at brittney.a.lazo.civ@us.navy.mil and Ms. Kris Nakashima-Wong via email at kris.e.nakashima-wong.civ@us.navy.mil, prior to the response date. Firms 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 may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Criterion 1 Specialized Experience. Firms may also address any adverse past performance issues. Information shall not exceed two double-sided pages (or four 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 with in Section F.

The performance information shall be provided by 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. 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 evaluation/feedback on the A-E’s performance to show the client’s satisfaction. If the firm was hired as a sub-consultant to a Prime A-E, that Prime A-E cannot provide a PPQ; rather, the Prime A-E’s client 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.

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

The Government is not restricted to the past performance evaluations provided in the firm’s SF330 and may use other sources to access past performance information such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) database and inquiries with previous customers/owners. 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 UEIN/CAGE.

Criterion 4 – Quality Control Program (SF330, Part I, Section H):

Firms will be evaluated on the strength of the quality control program proposed by the firm to ensure quality products and services under this contract, and means of ensuring quality services from their consultants/subcontractors.
