It interfaces with other PC based support modules and databases used by the Tri-Service Cost Engineering community. A-E Firms under contract or providing services to NAVFAC may request MII software installation packages from the cognizant NAFVAC Technical Discipline Coordinator (TDC). Contact the NAVFAC Design Manager to obtain the email address for the TDC. The AE is to send an email to the TDC with "MII license Request” in the subject line. The software is generally distributed to A E's free of charge, however, the accompanying database licenses must be purchased and licensed as appropriate by the user. AEs are to update cost estimates to the latest Cost book and regional equipment library. Use the NAVFAC Building Cost Index (BCI) for escalation, unless supporting market analysis dictates otherwise. Update the cost estimate at each submittal to reflect the current escalation. The NAVFAC BCI can be found on the WBDG website (https://www.wbdg.org/ffc/navy-navfac/cost-engineering-guidance-ceg). 1) Cost Data Escalation: used to escalate direct material, labor and equipment costs from the cost data source date(s) to the date of the cost estimate 2) Market Escalation: used to escalate the project from the date of the cost estimate to the mid-point of construction.

Sufficient information to determine the date of design completion of the project must be included in the project description, or the project will not be considered. Date of design completion is defined as the date of final design acceptance by client/customer. To meet the requirements of this criterion, at least one of the submitted projects must have a construction cost of $15M, at least one project must demonstrate experience with HVAC, at least one project must demonstrate experience with electrical systems design, and at least one project must include DB RFP development. If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate the first five (5) projects in the order submitted. Offerors must clearly define the professional service role performed by the offeror in relationship to the project owner. For Design-Build projects, state whether offeror performed as sub-contractor for Prime construction contractor in role of Designer of Record (DOR) or if not, the specific role. Only experience where firms prepare the design-build RFP package will be considered services similar to those anticipated under this contract.

For projects performed as a subcontractor or a joint venture involving different partners, specifically 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 joint venture, projects performed by the joint venture should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the joint venture, relevant projects must be submitted for each joint venture partner, not to exceed a total of five (5) projects. If a project was performed by a joint venture, and all joint venture partners are not on the team proposed for this contract, the Offeror/team should specifically address the work performed by the joint venture partner offering/teaming on this contract. Likewise, if the Offeror/team member worked as a subcontractor on a project, the description should clearly describe the work actually performed by the Offeror/team member and the roles and responsibilities of each 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 will be eliminated from consideration.
