ARCHITECTURAL & ENGINEERING (A&E) SERVICES

INDEFINITE DELIVERY CONTRACT (IDC)

IN SUPPORT OF THE

MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAM

26 February 2019

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Objective

The objective of this indefinite delivery contract (IDC) is to provide the full spectrum of facility engineering and architectural services exclusively in support of the Ballistic Missile Defense System Mandatory Center of Expertise (BMDS-CX1), U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville and its customers. Task orders will be issued which will describe the scope of work (specific objectives, goals, and deliverables to be fulfilled) for each requirement. The contractor is expected to provide all labor, materials, logistical, and administrative support in the performance of the task orders awarded under this contract and will perform and deliver all work in keeping with commonly accepted practices, quality, and professional standards for the Architect-Engineer industry and in keeping with all applicable local, installation, state, federal, and host-nation requirements.

1.2 Location of Work

This acquisition will require the firms to have the capability to respond to multiple task order requests for work in diverse locations throughout the Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, US Territories and possessions; USACE Transatlantic Division (TAD), North Atlantic Division (NAD), and Pacific Ocean Division (POD) such as Europe, Asia, and Australia; and other Missile Defense Installations. No other locations shall be added to the base IDC after award.

Excluding site visits for fact-finding, consultation, and information gathering, all work Outside of the United States and Outlying areas (as defined in FAR 2.101) will be at the Firm's United States Place of Performance.

1.3 Background

(MD-CX) Engineer Regulation 1110-2-8163 outlines roles and responsibilities for the new CX.

Huntsville Center (then Huntsville Division) stood up in 1967 with the primary mission of supporting Sentinel/Safeguard. Since that time, the Center continues to adapt to the changing needs of the country and to expand its portfolio – always maintaining technical expertise in Missile Defense. Due to that expertise, and the proximity of Huntsville Center to the Missile

1 Throughout this document the terms "ballistic missile defense" and "missile defense" are used interchangeably.

Similarly for the terms BMD and MD as acronyms for these terms.

Defense Agency's location on Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, MDA requested establishing a formal CX, and Headquarters, USACE approved the CX in 2016. The MD-CX provides standard USACE support and technical expertise to missile defense agencies, and ensures standardization of design where applicable; maintains technical expertise; leverages technical knowledge; and assures consistency and efficiency in delivery of MD facilities and infrastructure. This acquisition will provide contract capacity to support this center of expertise.

1.4 Spiral Design Considerations

Because the missile threat changes quickly, the Department of Defense needs maximum flexibility for in this execution of this unique program. In order to successfully achieve the goal of deployment, facility designs required by this contract and weapons system designs (prepared by others) must run concurrently. Various elements of facilities designs are likely to be completed prior to the completion of system designs within these facilities. The strategy is to proceed under basic engineering parameters that will minimize the impact on the criteria and ultimately the facility design. Facility criteria may be technically complex or atypical due to the specialized needs of the missile defense weapons system. In addition, the spiral development concept being used to develop the missile defense systems result in frequent technology and criteria evolution, requiring maximum flexibility in the support facilities design.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

2.1 Facility Types

This contract will provide technical support for the design of new facilities and sites in support of the deployment of MD sites for the Government.

5.2 Project Manager

The contractor must designate a Project Manager for each task order awarded. The Project Manager is responsible for the coordination and execution of all work under each task order to include work provided by sub-contractors and consultants.

5.3 Contractor Key Personnel Replacement

The contractor shall not replace any personnel without the written concurrence of the KO. Prior to utilizing other than previously specified personnel in awarded task orders, the contractor shall notify the Government KO and the COR for that task order. This notification shall be no later than 10 calendar days in advance of any proposed substitution and shall include justification (including resume(s) and labor category of proposed substitution(s)) in sufficient detail to permit evaluation of the impact on task order performance. Substitute personnel qualifications shall be equal to, or greater than those of the personnel being substituted. If the Government KO and the COR determine that the proposed substitute personnel is unacceptable, or that the reduction of effort would be so substantial as to impair the successful performance of the work under the contract, the contractor may be subject to default action as prescribed by FAR 52.249- 8, Default (Fixed-Price Supply and Service).

5.4 Organizational Conflicts of Interest

The work to be performed may create an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest on future acquisitions. Contractors should refer to FAR subpart 9.5 – ORGANIZATIONAL AND CONSULTANT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. An organizational conflict of interest can arise when a contractor possesses an economic incentive that renders it unable, or potentially unable, to provide impartial assistance or advice; or an unfair competitive advantage in obtaining a contract as a result of access to nonpublic information about a competitor or procurement. When an organizational conflict of interest arises it can have serious implications for the contractor that can range from disclosure obligations to disqualification from an award. Contractors should also refer to FAR subpart 36.209 -- Construction Contracts With Architect-Engineer Firms. “No contract for the construction of a project shall be awarded to the firm that designed the project or its subsidiaries or affiliates, except with the approval of the head of the agency or authorized representative.”

Accordingly, some restrictions on the future activities of the contractor and its subcontractors may be required. And, these restrictions may include prohibiting the contractor or its subcontractors from participating in a contract or a task order. However, in future procurements, the contractor or its subcontractors may request a determination of its ability to participate in a particular procurement from the KO.

6.0 QUALITY CONTROL

The A-E Contractor is responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and coordination of all designs, drawings, specifications, and other work or materials produced and furnished by the A-E’s Contractor’s staff as well as that of any sub-consultants. The A-E Contractor must perform and deliver all work in keeping with commonly accepted practices, quality, and professional standards for the Architect-Engineer industry. All work must be accomplished with adequate internal controls and review procedures to ensure quality and technical adequacy of all deliverables in accordance with ER 1110-1-12 Engineering Quality Management. The A-E shall correct or revise any error or deficiencies in the work, regardless of review, approval, acceptance, or payment by the Government. The responsibility to assure product quality continues even after final payment is made to the A-E Contractor. Corrections and changes resulting from review of the submitted work are for the A-E Contractor to correct without additional compensation. The A-E Contractor may be liable for damages to the Government caused by negligent performance, pending a review of the situation. The submittals will be reviewed by appropriate Government agencies and entities to evaluate conformance and AE Contractor’s effective quality control. The A-E Contractor will conduct all project reviews in the Dr. Checks system. Dr. Checks is a part of the Projnet database and can be accessed at https://www.projnet.org. The A-E Contractor shall provide written notification of resolution actions for each comment in the Dr. Check system.

6.1 Quality Management Plans

Within 30 days of base contract award, submit a Quality Management Plan (QMP) for review and acceptance by the KO. The QMP shall broadly describe the processes by which the A-E Contractor intends to ensure quality with respect to broad product lines that may be required of this contract (discussed in para. 1.3). The QMP shall be written with sufficient detail as to determine fault, generate lessons learned, and recommend internal improvement in the event that a failure in quality occurs. The QMP shall be reviewed annually and resubmitted as improvements are made and submitted for acceptance by the KO.

A task order-specific QMP shall be written and submitted within 15 days of task order award. It will discuss the items described in the base QMP, but with details specific to how the A-E intends to ensure quality on the task order. Work will not begin until the task-level QMP is approved and accepted by the COR.

6.2 Government Review & Evaluation

The Government will review project submittals and work processes in accordance with each task order’s Work Oversight Plan (WOP). The purpose of this review is to evaluate the adequacy of the contractor’s quality control system as applied to the products and methods employed on each task order. No less than annually, and at the conclusion of each task order, the COR will evaluate the contractor’s performance though the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) in the following categories (as applicable): Management, Quality, Schedule, and Cost. Other factors may be evaluated as applicable.

The A-E shall implement, maintain, and control a system for identification, preparation, reproduction, distribution, and maintenance of all documentation, data, and information necessary for the A-E's internal management as well as Government management of this project.

Review minutes and materials and action identification shall be included in the Summary of Submittals.

The submittals will be reviewed by appropriate Government agencies to evaluate content and determine adequacy. The A&E Contractor will conduct all project reviews in the Dr. Checks system. The A&E Contractor shall provide written notification of resolution actions for each comment in the Dr. Check system. These comments will be discussed in detail during the presentation and review period. The A-E shall provide written notification of resolution actions for each comment in Dr. Checks. Intentions on noncompliance with any comment shall be substantiated in detail.

Each task order will define the submittals of draft, progress, and final deliverables that will be reviewed by appropriate Government agencies and entities to evaluate conformance and Contractor’s effective quality control to the task order. The A-E Contractor shall provide written notification of resolution actions for each comment in the Dr Check system. The time frame for

Government review varies however; this process is typically completed within 14-21 calendar days. The Dr Checks review process for a single submittal review is described in Appendix A of Section J. The A-E Contractor may choose to perform work, at its own risk, during the Government review and comment resolution period, however, comments resulting from that review must be incorporated into the design prior to the next submittal. In the event a subsequent design phase is not authorized, the A-E Contractor shall incorporate all available review comments into the design to complete the current phase. The lack of review or quality of review by the Government does not preclude the A-E Contractor from being completely responsible for the quality of all deliverables.
