ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING (A-E) SERVICES AT EIELSON AFB, AK.
"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. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs."
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 renovate the existing Munitions (Muns) Inspection facility (Bldg 1324) to divide inspections operations for the F-35A aircraft via construction of a blast-protected wall, as well as renovate existing admin space to meet the requirements of new and existing programs.
BACKGROUND: Eielson AFB was chosen as the preferred alternative for the F-35A mission beddown. The current munitions inspection facility has one open bay for munitions inspections, and blast protection consists of a wall separating maintenance personnel and the munitions inspection bay. However, due to the increased capacity needed for munitions inspection capability for the F-35 beddown, the maintenance bay must be divided to allow for multiple airframe munitions inspections. Also, some interior walls in the existing office space must be reconfigured to make room for the 12 incoming full-time personnel dedicated to F-35A and current mission munitions inspections. If not constructed, there will be negative impacts on aircraft readiness, inability of the installation to sustain F-35A operations, and direct impacts to mission objectives supporting stability and security in the Asia-Pacific region. Said renovations would ultimately aid in the success of the new F-35A program at Eielson Air Force Base.
This is a competitive selection process in which competing offeror's 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.
