STATEMENT OF WORK

GENERAL ARCHITECT-ENGINEER (A&E) SERVICES

INDEFINITE DELIVERY, INDEFINITE QUANTITY (IDIQ)

CONTRACT

National Institute of Standards and Technology Office of Facilities and Property Management

November 15, 2024

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Gaithersburg, Maryland campus is a Research and Development (R&D) facility with 52 buildings located on a 578-acre campus. Other facilities are located within Montgomery County, Maryland.

Most R&D buildings are technically sophisticated laboratory facilities with specialized environmental and utility systems required for research and experimental activities. Laboratory facilities typically utilize specialized controls such as uninterrupted power, compressed gas systems, clean-room technologies, and tight-tolerance air temperature control systems for the conduct of research and experimental studies.

Utilities are distributed to the individual buildings by underground pipe and electrical distribution systems from central plant services owned and operated by NIST.

Existing buildings are 3-60 years old and generally steel superstructure with block and brick wall construction. Several facilities have specialized layouts with below grade concrete sub-basements and/or combination window/panelized storefront façade. Facility interior and exterior rehabilitation and renovations are continuous as buildings and systems age, or scientific projects require new layouts to accommodate on-going research.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinity Quantity (IDIQ) contract is to provide professional A&E services via the issuance of Task Orders. The IDIQ contract will have a total aggregate value up to $9,800,000 for up to a five (5) year period with a base award of one (1) with up to four (4) additional one-year periods.

The IDIQ contract will be used to execute multiple individual Task Orders ranging in value from $10,000 up to $2,000,000. Task Orders will be offered to be competitively bid by the General A&E IDIQ contract holders as per FAR 16.505.

Place of Performance Montgomery County, Maryland – NIST

Regular Business Hours Regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 6:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern Time, excluding Federal holidays and NIST closures.

Period of Performance The period of performance of this IDIQ shall be for five (5) years. Individual Task Orders will have their own period of performance.

III. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Specific requirements shall be detailed at the Task Order level.

IV. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

General A&E services for NIST will be detailed by a Statement of Work within each individual Task Order. Task Orders under this contract may include the evaluation, design and engineering services for building architectural renovation, additions, reconfiguration and repairs within the NIST Gaithersburg campus and other facilities located in Montgomery County, Maryland. Selected offerors shall employ professionals with qualified credentials for each task being completed.

Tasks Deliverables provided under this contract may include but are not limited to reports, basis of design, drawings, specifications, cost estimates, calculations, and schedules associated but not limited with the following tasks:

· Evaluation and feasibility studies to include engineering modeling and simulation

· Demolition of NIST structures, utilities, and infrastructure

· Repair and/or repair by replacement, modification/reconfiguration, building additions, and upgrades to NIST facilities (e.g., laboratories/scientific research, office, industrial). Including but not limited to architectural, mechanical, electrical, communications, structural, fire protection, and building enclosure (e.g., roofs, windows, foundations).

· Repair and/or repair by replacement, modification/reconfiguration for campus utility systems and supporting underground structures

· Comprehensive historical assessments for the preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration of historic property

· Interior design services consisting of programming and space assessment, fit plans, and office furniture to enhance aesthetics, comfort, efficiency, and workplace safety.

· Cost estimating for different levels (e.g., concept, detailed program, project)

· Life cycle cost analysis identifying cost elements from initial concept through operations, support, and disposal

· Hazardous material survey and risk assessment (e.g., asbestos, mold, lead paint)

· Roofing and waterproofing services such as visual inspections and existing conditions surveys, failure investigation, and design for repairs.

· Commissioning design including assistance of development Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR), design document reviews, development of commissioning specifications and or initial commissioning plan

· Program of Requirements (POR) development by meeting with campus personnel and confirming design intent for building and/or major systems (e.g., mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, controls, security, fire alarm, etc.)

· Value engineering analysis to achieve design goals while lowering life cycle costs and maintaining the required performance, quality, reliability, and maintainability.

· Record drawings development from compiled as-built set.

· Surveying (e.g., ALTA/ASCM, boundary, topographic, construction, site planning)

· Roads/sidewalks repairs and replacement

· Evaluation of items requiring earthwork such as excavation, grading, ponds, drainage, foundation, and footings

· Landscaping design

· Gates, fencing, and related engineering necessary to support a campus environment

· Permit applications submission to regulatory authorities based on specific project requirements. To be coordinated with COR and or AHJ for acceptance and or approval

· Environmental compliance (State or Federal) conforming to laws, regulations, standards, and other requirements

· Construction quality management to include but not limited to submittal reviews and commissioning services

Architect/engineering drawings prepared by the A&E shall be prepared using a computer aided drafting system with AUTODESK AUTOCAD 2025.

Government Furnished Property (GFP) NIST will furnish applicable hazardous material information to the contractor on each Task Order. Any other Government furnished property, material, equipment, or information will be detailed at the Task Order level.

Inspection & Acceptance To be determined at the Task Order level.
