The Department of Energy (DOE), National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has a need for consolidation and modernization of office and administration buildings, light laboratory buildings, and parking facilities and is investigating the possibility of realizing cost and schedule savings through the development of common building designs based on standard commercial practices that will meet a variety of needs across its 8 sites in the continental United States. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36 "Architect-Engineer Services" applies to this RFI/SS. The NAICS code is determined to be 541310, "Architectural Services" with a standard size established as $8M, and NACIS code 541330 "Engineering Services" with a standard size established as $16.5M. This RFI/SS is issued as a means to conduct market research to identify interested A&E business firms who are licensed, registered, and certified to provide a complete range of A/E services, (aka: Title I and Title II services including incidental related work associated with design for construction and repair of real property, common core conceptual design[30%, 60%, 90% complete], final designs, and construction phase design and engineering services) within the continental United States and its territories (Puerto Rico and Guam, etc.). Anticipated projects may require multi-discipline engineering services in the design of approximately 20 buildings estimated to be 15,000 to 20,000 square feet within a five year period of performance. Types of buildings include commercial office and administrative buildings, commercial light laboratory buildings housing laboratory and bench spaces without special building modifications, and parking garages. Design of buildings should be "standard" to approximately 8 sites (Site locations: California, New Mexico, Tennessee, Nevada, South Carolina, Missouri, and Texas) and scalable depending on specific site requirements with optional bays to be added as required. In accordance with FAR 36.204, this requirement’s magnitude will be more than $10,000,000.00 for the anticipated five year period of performance. A follow-on contractual instrument to this requirement is a possibility. Work may include miscellaneous general construction engineering and architectural services (architecture, mechanical, electrical, structural, civil, sanitary, geotechnical, environmental, telecommunications, arctic/cold regions engineering and coastal engineering). Other services that may be obtained are assessment of existing conditions, review of project designs, analysis of alternatives, sustainable design recommendations for cost effective alternatives, development of final designs, and construction contract documents. Work may take place in restricted and/or secure spaces where a Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) and/or security clearances may be required. The method of procurement will be determined upon completion of this market research (National, or regional awards where some sites may be grouped together). It is anticipated, however, that awards could be through task orders awarded with a single firm fixed price (FFP) contract line item number (CLIN) from an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a performance period of one (1) base year, and possibly four (4) one year option periods (option periods are at the sole discretion of the Government). THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME AND THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOASAL. This RFI/SS is being used solely to determine business interest and their capability. A Statement of Capability (SOC) is being requested in this RFI. Submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary to include the submission of a SF 330, if desired. The Government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. Solicitation issuance is planned for early winter or spring of 2020.
