1.) SYNOPSIS: This announcement is open to small businesses. The proposed services, which will be obtained by negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contracts, are for a variety of Architect/Engineer services primarily for Army, Air Force and Civil Works projects District-wide, as well as Nationwide ERCIP and IIS projects. Projects outside the primary mission area may be added at the Government's discretion upon agreement of the A/E firm. Projects will be awarded by individual task orders. The maximum cumulative contract value for the total contract is $45,000,000. This is a five year contract, with no option years. The estimated construction cost per project is between approximately $1,500,000 and $10,000,000. A target of five firms will be selected, with the Government being able to select less firms or more firms depending on the number of Offerors. If necessary, secondary selection criteria will be used as a tiebreaker between Offerors considered as technically equal. Once selected, the following factors will be used in deciding which selected Offeror will be utilized for task orders: past performance, quality of deliverables, capacity to accomplish the work in the required time, and uniquely specialized experience. Estimated start date is May 2023. As a contract specifically procured by the Louisville District for the Army, Nationwide ERCIP, Air Force and Civil Works projects, the selected firms and relevant sub-consultants will be required to attend one two-day partnering workshop within 12 months of the award of the IDIQ contract. This workshop will require the attendance of representatives from project management, architecture, engineering and interior design disciplines to define the Government's expectations of the Offeror, create a positive working atmosphere, encourage open communication, and to identify common goals. Cost for these sessions will be borne by the selected Offeror. In accordance with FAR 36.604 and the supplements thereto, and upon final acceptance or termination, all task orders above $35,000 will receive a performance evaluation. A performance evaluation may be prepared for lesser task orders and interim performance evaluations may be prepared at any time. Performance evaluations will be maintained for use in future source selections for Architect-Engineer Services. 2.)
