The scope of work includes focus on general military construction such as military operations and administrative buildings but may also include other types of construction such as aviation and waterfront facilities, infrastructure improvements, firing ranges and living quarters. If asbestos or hazardous materials exist, the Architect-Engineer (A-E) contractor shall identify and provide for their disposal in the required documents in accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to such hazardous materials. The selected A-E may be required to participate in a pre-fee meeting within seven days of notification and provide a fee proposal within ten days of the meeting.



Evaluation and selection of the most highly qualified firm will be based on the following selection criteria, listed in descending order of importance:



Criterion (1).

Firm’s Specialized Relevant Experience (within five (5) years).



Firm’s specialized recent relevant experience in the preparation of plans, specifications utilizing the Department of Defense SPECSINTACT program, cost estimates utilizing the MII cost estimating system, Functional Analysis and Concept Development (FACD), Request for Proposal (RFP) documentation for Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) projects, MILCON engineering studies, and MILCON Region/FEC Team 1391 project documentation, in a tropical environment similar to Hawaii, Guam, Diego Garcia and Australia.

More favorable consideration may be given for:

(1) Submission of more variety of specialized recent experience;

(2) Projects demonstrated experience in Hawaii, Guam, Diego Garcia, and Australia;

(3) Specialized recent experience and technical competence of the prime A-E.







SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:



SF330, Part 1, Section F. For the proposed team, provide in Section F a maximum of ten (10) completed recent relevant projects along with description of correlated A-E support services rendered (Department of Defense SPECSINTACT program, cost estimates utilizing the MII cost estimating system, Functional Analysis and Concept Development (FACD), Request for Proposal (RFP) documentation for Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) projects, MILCON engineering studies and MILCON Region/FEC Team 1391 project documentation ). Professional services of relevant projects submitted must have been completed within five (5) years. If more than 10 projects are submitted for evaluation, the Government will evaluate the first ten projects and disregard any other project information after the first ten projects.





Section F, Block 24. Each project shall include (1) project title; (2) location; (3) year completed; (4) project owner; (5) point-of-contact name, e-mail address, and phone number; (6) contract number or project identification number; (7) contract performance period; (8) contract award amount; (9) estimated construction cost; and (10) description of project and relevance to this solicitation. A project is defined as either a stand-alone contract or a single task order in an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract and will only evaluate individual task order information.



The submission shall include a discussion of who executed the project as pertinent to demonstrating the firm’s specialized experience.

If a project was performed by a joint venture (JV), and all JV partners are not on the team proposed for this solicitation, the offeror should specifically address the work performed on the project submitted by the proposed JV partner(s). If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the proposed JV partner(s), the project will be evaluated less favorably. Likewise, if the proposed JV partner(s) worked as a subcontractor on a project, the offeror should specifically address the work performed by the proposed JV partner(s) on the project submitted. If a project does not provide requested data, accessible point-of-contact, or valid phone number, that project may be evaluated less favorably.

Note: If the A-E firm is a JV, information should be submitted for projects performed by the JV; however, if there are no relevant projects performed by the JV, submit projects performed by the individual partner entities of the JV. Failure to submit experience for all JV partners will be evaluated less favorably.



A-E subconsultant’s specialized experience on a Design-Bid-Build project will not be given the same level of consideration as the A-E prime contractor’s or JV partner’s. Specilaised experience of an A-E subcontractor to a construction contractor, serving as the Designer-of-Record on a Design-Build project, will be given the same level of consideration as an A-E firm’s for a DBB project.



Prime contractor-subcontractor/JVs/LLCs/LTDs with a demonstrated history of working together on prior projects will be considered more favorably than those without such history.



Criterion 2: Key Personnel’s Professional Qualifications, and Specialized Experience and Technical Competence.

For Cost Estimator, indicate years of experience, role in this contract, firm name and location, and education. Professional qualifications of personnel of the design teams other than the key personnel (e.g., Architect, Structural Engineer, Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Fire Protection Engineer, Environmental Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Topographic Surveyor, etc.) shall not be submitted, and if submitted, shall not be considered in the evaluation.

Do not use other company titles such as “Type I Engineer†where the discipline and role are unidentifiable.

A project is defined as either a stand-alone contract or a single task order in an IDIQ contract having the features described above. If more than five (5) projects are submitted, the Government will evaluate the first five (5) projects listed in Part I, Section E and disregard any other project information.

Experience in a role other than Project Manager or Project Architect and Cost Estimator for project submittal will not qualify as specialized experience and technical competence. If a project description does not clearly define the work performed by the Project Manager or Project Architect and Cost Estimator (including the specialized design and engineering service) or if a project does not provide the requested data, accessible points of contact, or valid phone numbers, that project may be evaluated less favorably or as not qualified.

The Government however, is not restricted to the information provided by the Offeror and may use other sources to assess past performance information such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and inquiries with previous customers/owners. PPIRS will be evaluated for the firm that will perform the work and search will be based upon the CAGE/DUNS number provided for the firm. If the A-E received any less than satisfactory past performance evaluations from customers/owners, it is incumbent upon the A-E to provide an explanation of the rating and what the A-E has done or will do to preclude less than satisfactory ratings on future contracts.



Letters of commendation or awards are not required, and if submitted, will not be considered in the evaluation.
