"Notice to Offeror(s)/Supplier(s): Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date for receipt of proposals.

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 for FTQW 12-1012 Repair Black Start Generator (B6203) to investigate the repair/replacement options of the black start generator at the Central Heat and Power Plant (CH&PP).
BACKGROUND: Eielson AFB owns and operates the Central Heat and Power Plant (CH&PP), a coal-fired co-generation plant. The plant has six boilers; each originally rated at 120,000 pounds of steam per hour. It has five extraction-type steam powered generators with a total generating capacity of 25MW. In addition there are four auxiliary diesel generators, each rated at 1.5 MW, located adjacent to the plant. Finally, in the basement of the plant is the 2.5 MW diesel-powered, black start generator. The existing black start generator was manufactured by EMD and was installed in approximately 1987 as part of a major plant upgrade. Because of excessive emissions, Eielson's Air Permit includes operational limits for the unit. The generator is not allowed to consume more than 157,000 gallons of fuel in any rolling 12-month period. In addition, peak output is limited to 1,800 kW. The black start generator used to be used for peak load shaving, but due to the fuel and output limits, that practice is no longer possible.
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.
This acquisition will be a 100% Small Business set-aside. The NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) applies to this acquisition, with a small business size standard of $15M. The Disclosure of Magnitude for the subsequent construction project is not applicable to investigation services.
