Naval Facilities Engineering Command Mid-Atlantic Northeast Integrated Product Team (NAVFAC MIDLANT NE IPT) is seeking a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small businesses, certified HUBZone small businesses, and certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged businesses with current relevant qualifications, experience, personnel, and the capability to perform multi-discipline architect-engineering services in support of projects at Military Installations primarily in Maine and throughout the NAVFAC MIDLANT Area of Responsibility (AOR).



The projects are located in NAVFAC MIDLANT NE AOR primarily in Maine; but may include projects throughout the NAVFAC Atlantic AOR.

NAVFAC intends to award one stand-alone Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Architect-Engineering contract. The contract will be awarded not to exceed $15,000,000. The preponderance of projects envisioned for this contract is in the $1,000,000 to $40,000,000 range of estimated construction cost. Projects may include multiple disciplines or single disciplines, including but not limited to architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, fire protection, and interior design. Projects may include the following engineering and design services, but are not limited to, (a) Building construction and addition of Special Projects and MILCON facilities; (b) General building renovation work; (c) Development of Design-Bid-Build packages; (d) Development of Design-Build Request for Proposal (RFP) packages; (e) Conducting Life Safety Code Studies; (f) Interior space planning/design studies; (g) Engineering and design site work, paving, landscaping, communications, fire protection, energy conservation systems, and utilities; (h) Facility planning, which includes project programming documents (1391 development) which entails preparation of basic project documents of the DD Form 1391 in the Navy’s Electronic Procurement Generator (EPG); (i) Development of requirements and project scope; (j) Preparation of engineering evaluations; (k) Preparation of unit guidance costs or parametric cost estimating; (l) Development of alternatives and economic analysis; (m) Analysis of proposed sites for foundations, utilities, access, constraints and identification of environmental, sustainable design and anti-terrorism/force protection issues; (n) Government collateral equipment lists; (o) USGBC LEED Checklists and Sustainable Design Reports; (p) Developing building commissioning requirements; (q) Project preliminary hazard analysis, obtaining permits and regulatory approvals; (r) Review of contractor submittals, field consultation and inspection during construction; (s) Title II Inspection; (t) Operation and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI); and (u) Record document preparation.

Facility types may include, but are not limited to, personnel housing facilities (Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) and Bachelor Officers Quarters (BOQ)); office facilities; training facilities (operational, maintenance and classroom); and industrial maintenance facilities (Vehicle Maintenance Shops. Shore Intermediate Maintenance Activities, Aircraft Maintenance Hangars, Public Works Shops, Warehouses). The initial project(s) will be determined at a later date.



The Naval Facilities Engineering Command is presently using Design-Build as the preferred method for acquiring capital improvements. Though Design-Bid-Build methodologies (with the preparation of 100% Plans and Specifications) will continue to be utilized, a significant number will likely require preparation of Requests for Proposal packages for Design-Build solicitations using abbreviated (0% - 30%) design documentation.

Packages would include elements of site/engineering investigation, architectural programming, and function/performance specifications. Phases and/or pre-priced contract options may be included and will be exercised at the discretion of the government for 0 to 35% design, 35% to 100% design, and post construction contract award services. Options are normally exercised within several months of completing prior work; however, delays of up to one year are possible.



All projects will require design in the metric system, unless specifically exempted. As part of this contract, an asbestos and/or lead-based paint assessment may be required to determine the presence of hazardous material during removals/demolition or at utility points of connections.

Firms must be able to accept work that involves asbestos, lead paint, PCBs, and other hazardous materials. Work will be prepared utilizing AutoCAD 2010 or higher. Specifications will be prepared using SPECINSTACT SGML program, and cost estimates using the Success estimating program in a Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) system format will be utilized. Selected firm will be required to provide documents in PDF format for posting to a Government web site during solicitation. All design and engineering services shall comply with the most current edition of UFC 1-300-09N Design Procedures, and other requirements as indicated on the Whole Building Design Guide Web Site (www.wbdg.org). Firms are advised that the selected firm, its subsidiaries or affiliates which design or prepare specifications for a construction contract cannot provide the construction services for the same contract.

This includes concept design, which includes preparation of project programming documents (DD Form 1391), facility studies, environmental assessments, or request for proposals for Design-Build projects, or other activities that result in identification of project scope and cost. The contract requires that the selected firm have on-line access to email via the Internet for exchange of correspondence/information.



The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541330 (Engineering Services) with a Small Business Size Standard of $14.0 million. The proposed contracts will each be for one (1) base year with four (4) one-year options, resulting in the contract performance period of maximum five (5) years.



The estimated maximum total contract price is $15,000,000.
