"Notice to Offeror(s)/Supplier(s): Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date for receipt of proposals. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs."

The 354th Contracting Squadron is seeking qualification packages and past performance information from vendors interested in providing professional architect and engineering services at Eielson AFB, AK to design the replacement of the complete HVAC system in Building 1138.

BACKGROUND: Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB) is located approximately 23 miles southeast of Fairbanks, AK. Building 1138 was original built in 1959 and has undergone an addition and numerous interior projects. It is home to several Red Flag contractors. Building 1138 is sitting on or within the buffer zones of two contaminated soil sites (DP044 and SS530). The HVAC system is in poor condition. This project will repair building 1138's HVAC system by replacement so the building may be properly heated and ventilated. The domestic water heating system is in poor condition as well. This project will repair building 1138's domestic water heating tank/system by replacement. The Building is a historical building and every effort shall be taken to not affect its exterior appearance. Asbestos has been abated with previous projects, but some is still present throughout the building. Presence of lead based paint should be expected.

This is a competitive selection process in which competing offeror's qualifications will be evaluated in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 36.6 to determine the most highly qualified firms. The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed-Price contract.

IAW FAR 36.603(b): To be considered for architect-engineer contracts, a firm must file with the appropriate office or board the Standard Form 330, "Architect-Engineer Qualifications," Part II and when applicable, SF 330, Part I. Responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this posting; all costs associated with responding will be solely at the interested parties' expense. Failure to respond to this post does not preclude participation in the subsequent technical evaluation so long as a firm's SF 330 is currently on file with the 354th Contracting Squadron. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement.
