*********This Synopsis has been replaced in its entirety 11 Feb 2020*************** 1.) SYNOPSIS: This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. The proposed services, which will be obtained by negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contracts, are for a variety of Architect/Engineer services for Air Force Reserve projects nationwide (including Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa). Projects outside the primary mission area may be added at the Government's discretion upon agreement of the A/E firm. Awards will be made as Firm-Fixed Price Task Orders during the period of performance. The total combined contract capacity under the umbrella contract is valued at $45,000,000 over a five year period. This is a five year contract, with no option years. The expected construction cost of projects designed as a part of this contract is between approximately $3,000,000 and $50,000,000. There is no limit on the value of individual task orders. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed-price task orders. Firm (s) that are selected for negotiation of a contract may be required to submit additional information at a later time for use in the evaluation of qualifications for specific Task Orders. The period of performance for task orders issued under these contracts may extend beyond the five year ordering period. Five firms will be selected to be a part of the umbrella contract. If the Contracting Officer determines during the selection process that fewer or more contracts should be awarded, based upon the selection criteria, the Contracting Officer has the discretion of adjusting that number, or awarding none at all. Once selected, the following factors will be used in deciding which selected firm will be utilized for task orders: (1) Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services; (2) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, including, where appropriate, experience in energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, and the use of recovered materials; (3) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time; (4) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules; (5) Knowledge of the locality of the project; (6) Other appropriate evaluation criteria specific to the task order requirement. Multiple task orders may be awarded with similar completion schedules and overlapping delivery dates. Estimated start date is July 2020. As a contract specifically procured by the Louisville District for the U.S. Air Force Reserve, the selected firms and relevant sub-consultants will be required to attend an annual two-day partnering workshop in Louisville, KY for the life of the contract. This workshop will require the attendance of representatives from the selected firms to define the Government's expectations, create a positive working atmosphere, encourage open communication, and to identify common goals. Cost for these sessions will be borne by the selected firms. In accordance with FAR 36.604 and the supplements thereto, and upon final acceptance or termination, all task orders above $35,000 will receive a performance evaluation. A performance evaluation may be prepared for lesser task orders and interim performance evaluations may be prepared at any time. Performance evaluations will be maintained for use in future source selections for Architect-Engineer Services. 2.)
