PROJECT INFORMATION: The AEs selected would be required to have sufficient staff, flexibility, and capability to be available on an as-needed basis. Typical types of services to be provided are related to the study and design of new, renovations, repair, and modernization of mechanical and electrical systems to include: studies and designs of electrical power, communication, grounding, lighting and control systems; study and design of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration with DDC controls, utilidors and enclosed utility systems; performance of commissioning services (LEED both Fundamental and Enhanced); study and design of fire protection and detection systems (including aircraft hangar high expansion foam (HEF) fire suppression systems as well as standard wet, dry, and pre-action sprinkler systems); ; general building designs; the design of POL systems is incidental to facility design. The AE may also perform construction phase services, inspection and investigations or may development Design/Build RFPs. The AE and their subcontractors must have experience in cold regions design. Cold regions design is not considered to be a separate discipline that can be subcontracted. Rather, knowledge and experience in the design, construction and operation of facilities in arctic, subarctic, and cold region environments must be integral to all design disciplines. The AE may be required to participate in programming, value engineering studies, design Charrettes and project review conferences; participation may include facilitation, VE Study team, etc. The Government may require that designs be in metric and/or English systems of units. The firm must demonstrate the ability to; provide drawings in AutoCAD (version as required by the project); Have the capability to provide designs using building information modeling (BIM) software; use the latest version of M2 (cost estimating software furnished by the Government); provide a cost estimate in work breakdown structure (WBS); provide draft DD Form 1354, Transfer and Acceptance of Military Real Property; provide electronic bid set (EBS) documents; use SPECSINTACT, for all projects unless otherwise directed in the Task Order. The AE will be required to use Dr. Checks programs (permissions and passwords will be distributed on a project-by-project basis). Systems information required for Dr. Checks: Internet Explorer (Microsoft); the web site is: http:\\www.buildersnet.org\drchecks.

The Government may require the AE to provide the Government Construction Management and Design Staff with Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning Services for various projects. The Commissioning Services shall include individuals to serve as the Commissioning Authority on the project as described in the USGBC LEED Reference Guide 2009 Edition, Energy and Atmosphere Prerequsite 1 and Credit 3. These persons will support the Government in verifying contract compliance regarding the design, construction and initial post-occupancy phase of the project delivery as it relates to enhanced commissioning. The Government may require the AE to prepare and review energy models prepared by others using DOE approved modeling software in accordance ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G and UFC 3-400-01. 3.
