MARCH ARB, CA 92518-1716

SUBJECT: Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Architect-Engineer (A&E) Services for Repair Runway Project PDPG26-0103, Survey and Report pavement present conditions for airfield at March Air Reserve Base, CA

1. This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) based on the capabilities and experience related to efforts necessary to manage and execute A&E services for the Government's planned Repair Runway Project PDPG26-0103, Survey and Report pavement present conditions for airfield at March Air Reserve Base, CA. The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to the most highly qualified A&E firm in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.602-4(b) for A&E services. The Government anticipates this acquisition to be set aside for 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns with a NAICS code of 541330 "Engineering Services." The annual small business size standard for this NAICS code is $25.5 million. A full design team is required to complete this project. SF 330 submissions must be valid for 120 days after the response due date.

The Government will select the three most highly qualified offerors ranked in order by their qualifications applicable to the terms and conditions of the contract. Proposal preparation instructions and proposal due date will be specified in the contract Request for Proposal (RFP). An RFP will be issued to the most highly qualified firm to perform the required services. If a reasonable negotiated price cannot be attained, then an RFP will be sent to the next most highly qualified contractor.

Notice to Offerors: This is a Request for Qualifications and is not to be confused with a Request for Quote or Request for Proposal (RFP). This is a request for Standard Form (SF) 330 Architect-Engineer Qualifications packages only. All information needed to submit SF330 documents is contained herein. No solicitation package, technical information, or bidder/plan holder list will be issued. This RFQ is strictly used by the Government to conduct market research to determine the 3 most highly qualified contractors for this contract.

Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this RFQ or subsequent RFP until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this RFQ or subsequent RFP either before or after the closing date for receipt of responses. In the event the Government cancels this RFQ or subsequent RFP, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs.

2. The planned services in this contract include the following:

A&E services include the development of a 35% design document package, including drawings, outline specifications, design analysis, and a cost estimate, issued for the Government's review and approval. The design will address major maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) needs identified in the Statement of Work (SOW) and Airfield Pavement Condition Index Survey Report, which includes designing repairs for Asphalt Concrete (AC) and Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) airfield pavements. Expected design solutions will cover mill and overlays, complete reconstruction, selective slab replacement, localized full-depth patching, crack sealing, and joint seal replacements across the runway, taxiway, and apron network.

3. The Government intends to hold discussions with at least three of the most highly qualified firms to clarify the Contractor’s proposed execution method and capacity for this contract. Offeror response to discussions will be considered in making the contract selection decision.
