Site work for a mixed-use development in Fort Bliss, Texas. Conceptual plans call for site work for a power facility; military facility; and power facility.

Total contract duration is 1050 calendar days (Design of 330 calendar days and Construction duration of 720 calendar days. The anticipated value of this A-E contract requirement is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Projects consist of on-site power generation, distribution, and microgrid control systems capable of supplying the critical loads in their respective areas of the Fort Bliss installation for a minimum of 14 days. Combined, these projects are expected to provide approximately 20MW of prime-rated, natural gas-powered electricity generation, as well as undetermined capacities of PV solar electrical generation and battery energy storage system (BESS). These projects have varying requirements for interconnection with existing power systems, including communicating with the private utility provider's control systems to allow automated switching between grid and generator power, peak shaving, and other features. The only new buildings expected to be required are ancillary features such as small control houses. Projects will include advanced metering, SCADA, antiterrorism and cybersecurity measures, site improvements, extensions of utilities including natural gas lines, metering of natural gas, and integration into the existing Enterprise Energy Data Reporting System (EEDRS). A/E services will consist of the following activities: preparation of construction solicitations for design-bid-build (complete design) projects; site investigation/assessment of existing conditions; value engineering services; engineering services during construction (shop drawing review, site inspection, etc.); design of demolition or deconstruction; hazardous materials survey, analysis, and abatement methodology; sustainable design; construction cost estimates and schedules; technical studies/analysis in support of design for new construction and renovation. Additional A/E support services may include: civil site design; geotechnical studies; design for the renovation of existing facilities; environmental compliance; National Environmental Policy Act documentation; controlled waste and flammable storage design; asbestos, lead and PCB surveys and/or abatement; and utility investigations. Other A/E services beyond traditional design may include: site selection; DD form 1391 development; facility assessments; and value engineering workshops. Construction cost estimating will be accomplished for all design projects using the current generation and version of Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (MII) software (software and database is available from the Government for a nominal fee). This project is not expected to require design using BIM technology, which utilizes computer aided design (CAD) technology with information loaded within three dimensional models. However, if any BIM design is required by the scope of work, the A/E firm is responsible for the training and associated training costs for both primary and back-up BIM team members. BIM products will be produced in the current version of either the AECOSIM or Revit as specified in each task order. Traditional CAD deliverables, if required by this contract's scope of work, shall include Microstation (.dgn) or AutoCAD (.dwg) files as specified by the scope of work. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time. *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
