6.0 INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE

Department of Energy’s (DOE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) is America’s premier particle physics and accelerator laboratory that strives to solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space, and time for the benefit for all. Located in Batavia, Illinois, it is managed by the Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC (FermiForward) for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.

FermiForward’s Infrastructure Services Division – Engineering Department (ISD-ENG) is responsible for managing a wide variety of alterations, repairs, and new construction projects. This solicitation relates to professional Architectural and Engineering services and is anticipated to include but not be limited to smaller tasks for studies, repair and alteration, interiors, new construction (including underground work), and building code and life safety.

This is a Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) for a MATOC IDIQ for a pool of consultants to become pre-qualified to provide professional Architectural and Engineering services. Prequalified firms will be asked to respond with specific project proposals for requested task orders, and under those task orders the architect/engineering (A/E) subcontractors shall furnish the personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, and supplies necessary to perform the requested scope.

7.0 QUALIFICATION BASED SELECTION OF A/E SUBCONTRACTORS

Qualifications are requested for the selected offeror to provide services that will include all normal and customary professional services required of a qualified, licensed architect/engineering firm and its in-house or sub-tier subcontractors to support the performance of planning, master planning, and program support; A/E investigative and design services including development of construction documents;

construction support for projects consisting of primarily building alterations, repair, comprehensive interior design, new construction, building code and life safety as described in Section 15.0 – CATEGORIES OF PROJECTS. It is the intent of FermiForward to award IDIQ Subcontracts to at least one firm for each of the Categories of Projects.

See Section 16.0 QUALIFICATION SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS for further information on Qualifications.

In responding to this QBS, the offeror will choose which categories of work they believe themselves to be qualified for and wish to be evaluated. YOU MAY IDENTIFY MORE THAN ONE

CATEGORY. QUALIFICATIONS MUST BE DEMONSTRATED INDIVIDUALLY FOR EACH

CATEGORY SELECTED.
