The pool must also be able to accept 5 training sessions for all air station pilots and aircrew to complete required training throughout the year.Facility Requirements: The pool facility must be at least 25 yards with a depth of at least 8 feet. If the pool facility is indoors, it is not required to be heated. If the pool is outdoors, it must be heated. The pool must be able to accommodate rescue swimmer gear & equipment including a rescue litter, parachute and a Shallow Water Egress Chair (SWET). The SWET chair is a 6' x 4' cage that is placed in the water to simulate a helicopter crash. The aquatic facility must have doors large enough to move the SWET chair through.Parking Requirements: The facility must have adequate parking in close proximity of the street due to the size and amount of gear needed for wet drills, shallow water egress, and water survival training.Period of Performance: Base Year: 10/1/2016 - 9/30/2017Option Year One: 10/1/2017 - 9/30/2018 (if exercised by the Government)Option Year Two: 10/1/2018 - 9/30/2019 (if exercised by the Government)Option Year Three: 10/1/2019 - 9/30/2020 (if exercised by the Government)Option Year Four: 10/1/2020 - 9/30/2021 (if exercised by the Government) Place of Performance: Contractor's FacilityCLAUSESThe full text of FAR clauses may be accessed electronically at: http://www.acquisition.gov/far/The full text of HSAR clauses may be accessed electronically at: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/VFHSARA.HTMThe following contract clauses apply to this acquisition:1.

Department of Veterans Affairs, Detroit VAMC | Published February 11, 2016 - Deadline July 29, 2016

The consultant shall provide all necessary architectural and engineering (A-E) design services as required to prepare complete contract drawings, specifications, technical reports, and cost estimates, including services throughout construction for Upgrade Automatic Transfer Switch System, Project # 506-16-101 at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, 2215 Fuller Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105. Work shall include all site work, utility connections, communication wiring and connection as well as any disruptions to existing systems. a.	Project will upgrade or replace the ATS system throughout the Medical Center. Resulting upgrades will include total network capability, total isolated bypass, and replacement of older ATS units that are not capable of being upgraded, installation of central monitoring capabilities, and other upgrades necessary to bring the system up to the latest standards. 2.	The selected firm will be required to fully evaluate the existing and present conditions. They will be required to review any background documents, asbestos survey and lead assessments of the existing area, original drawings, and other information in the VA engineering office for information related to their design. The firm is welcome to make copies at the engineering office of any documents and drawings. The engineering section will transfer any electronic documents to a FTP type site the AE has set up. Many times drawing files are too large to transfer via email. It is the intent of the Department of Veterans Affairs to have the A-E survey the existing conditions and not rely solely on old background drawings for their design. The VA makes no guarantee to the accuracy of background drawings, as most of the drawings are copies of original construction drawings and not "As Built" in nature. The VA does complete regular asbestos and lead assessments and believes these to be accurate. The AE will have full access to these surveys. Note: A/E shall be responsible for conducting site visits for the purpose of data gathering, investigation and documentation of all existing conditions. Perform such investigations as required to accurately verify all existing conditions. Do not rely solely upon "as built" drawings. VA personnel will provide assistance with investigating the project site where prior experience with equipment and utilities will produce an appreciable advantage. In accordance with FAR 36.204, the estimated magnitude of the resulting construction price range is estimated to be between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. Prospective firms are required to address all selection criteria within submitted SF330 packages using additional pages as required. Selection criteria shall be in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36.602-1 and VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) Part 836.602-1 as follows: (1) Professional Qualifications: the qualifications of the individuals which will be used for these services will be examined for experience and education and their record of working together as a team. The specific disciplines which will be evaluated are architectural, engineering, and estimating. (2) Specialized Experience and Technical Competence: specific experience and technical skill in the type and scope of work required, including, where appropriate, experience in energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, and the use of recovered materials. (3) Capacity to Accomplish the Work: the general work load and staffing capacity of the design office which will be responsible for the majority of the design and the ability to accomplish the work in the required time will be evaluated. (4) Past Performance: the past performance of the firm on contracts relevant in scope to the advertised project that were accomplished with the Department of Veterans Affairs, other Government agencies, and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules will be examined. Project past performance references older than 5 years will receive a lesser score than those references for projects accomplished within the past 5 years. (5) Location of Design Firm: the geographic proximity of each firm to the location of the VA Medical Center will be evaluated. This criterion will apply to the office from which the majority of the design services will be performed. Firms within 350 miles of the medical center will receive a maximum score. Firms more distant than 350 miles will receive a zero score for this criterion. (6) Claims and Terminations: record of significant claims against the firm or terminated contracts because of improper or incomplete architectural and engineering services will be examined. (7) Reputation in A-E Community: reputation and standing of the firm and its principal officials with respect to professional performance, general management, and cooperativeness. (8) Specific experience and qualifications of personnel proposed for assignment to the project: and their record of working together as a team.
