Architectural and Engineering Services
Introduction:
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is the U.S. Department of Energy's primary national laboratory for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development. NREL develops renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and practices, advances related science and engineering, and transfers knowledge and innovations to address the nation's energy and environment goals.
The Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC (hereinafter called "Alliance") has entered into Contract with the Department of Energy (hereinafter called "DOE"), an agency of the U.S. Government (hereinafter called "Government"), for the management and operation of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (hereinafter called "NREL"). All references to "NREL" in this notice shall mean the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC.
Synopsis:
NREL intends to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) within ninety (90) days of this pre-solicitation notice on www.FBO.com for Architectural and Engineering Services. Qualifying firms and/or teams will provide Qualification Statements for individuals and/or subcontractors that can provide A/E services in the following disciplines:
1. Architectural Services;
2. Civil Engineering;
3. Structural Engineering;
4. Mechanical Engineering;
5. Electrical Engineering.
Qualifications Statements must provide evidence that NREL's need for services provided by licensed and qualified individuals in all five (5) disciplines listed above will be met by the Respondent. Qualification Statements that exclude one or more of the disciplines listed above will not be considered for award.
NREL intends to award one (1) Task Ordering Agreement (TOA), to five (5) firms. Work effort will be evaluated by NREL for risk and awarded to the TOA holders using the process most appropriate for the risk level of the work. Work considered low risk (i.e. sketches, independent calculations, testing, inspections, observations, code reviews, forensic analysis, cost estimates, professional opinions, etc.) will be awarded using a simplified task order process. Work considered high risk (i.e. title I and II designs and construction administration services) will most often be awarded using a competitive (among the TOA holders) task order award process.
Each of the five (5) awarded TOAs is expected to extend one (1) twelve (12) month basic period with four (4) additional twelve (12) month option periods.
A Task Ordering Agreement is similar to a BPA (Basic Purchase Agreement) or IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) Contract.
Historically, NREL has annually awarded approximately $90,000.00 to $320,000.00 in total task orders under similar A/E oriented TOAs. No minimum level of funding is guaranteed at TOA award, as work and funding are committed at task order award.
Additional Requirements will be specified in the upcoming RFQ solicitation.
