Kennedy Space Center, Procurement, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899DescriptionDesign, Engineering, and other Professional Services Required to Develop a Central CampusComplex at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida.This synopsis specifies the Government's requirement. It is a combined synopsis andsolicitation. There is no separate solicitation package.In accordance with FAR 52.216-1, Type of Contract (APRIL 1984), NASAs Kennedy SpaceCenter (KSC) contemplates award of a single Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity(IDIQ) contract. The awarded contract will have a base five year ordering period withfive one year option extensions to the ordering period. Work will be accomplished asindividual task orders under the IDIQ contract.PROJECT DESCRIPTION - The Central Campus Complex project is KSCs plan for revitalizingthe KSC Industrial Area by consolidating multiple facilities into a more compact campusstyle setting through new construction, deconstruction, and potential renovation to theexisting infrastructure. The Central Campus Complex is based on new construction and theprogressive deconstruction of targeted facilities and potential renovation of otherfacilities (see Attachment 1). The total project is to consist of approximately 620,000square feet of new facilities and deconstruction of approximately 720,000 or more squarefeet of existing facilities and associated utilities. A previous facility study todevelop the Central Campus Complex concept is provided as part of thissynopsis/solicitation (see Attachment 2). The study is for informational purposes onlyand not to be considered as a basis of design.The primary task of the A&E Firm will be to develop a master plan and design for themulti-phased construction of the Kennedy Space Centers Central Campus Complex. The KSCHeadquarters Building (M6-0399) is the geographic center of the new complex due to theutility infrastructure. This project will incorporate multiple other facilities in theindustrial area to create a unified Central Campus Complex. Each design and constructionphase shall be a stand-alone project that integrates the overall Central Campus Complexwhile maintaining overall aesthetics without dependency on future phases. The totalconstruction value is expected to exceed $200 million. A major goal of the project willbe to minimize the impacts to center employees during construction and to minimize thenumber of personnel moves required for new facility occupation. The size of the projectand its impacts to multiple facilities will require significant changes to the localinfrastructure, including, but not limited to, reconfiguration of roadways, electricaldistribution, water distribution, waste-water collection, storm water conveyance, naturalgas, telecommunications, fire suppression, chilled water, and potential environmentalsite decontamination. A list of facilities to be incorporated into the Central Campus Complex follows:1. Headquarters Building (Bldg # M6-0399, approx 430,000 SF)2.
