Repair Base Steam Traps

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 repair of the Repair Base Steam Traps.

BACKGROUND: Eielson AFB currently operates a 37 mile long utilidor system that transports steam to various facilities throughout the base. The base estimates that the utilidor has roughly 1000 steam traps throughout the steam distribution network. Eielson does not currently have any records of numbers or locations of steam traps located within the utilidor system. The investigation will help determine the current state of the steam traps and help build a repair project to get the system unified and functional.

This is a competitive selection process in which competing offerors' 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.
