Description

NA 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: Up to two Indefinite Delivery Contracts will be awarded for Architect - Engineer (A-E) services for a period of one year with options for two additional years each. The contract(s) will be primarily for A-E studies and design on support for others and military projects within the Albuquerque District boundaries, which include Southern Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Southwest Texas. However, the Contractor may be required to perform work outside this area. The successful firm( s) may be utilized for complete projects or in support of in-house efforts. Services during construction to include construction inspection, shop drawing review and as-built drawing preparation may be required. These contracts will be procured in accorda nce with Pl 92-582 (Brooks A-E Act) and FAR Part 36. Work will be negotiated and initiated by issuance of delivery orders, which will not exceed $3,000,000 over the life of the each contract. The anticipated award dates are February or March 2004. Thi s procurement is unrestricted. Where the Government has multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts for identical services, delivery orders will be issued to the various firms based on similar project experience, expertise, workload, and performance on previou s projects. All things being equal, the intent is to equally distribute the work. The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22.10) performing under this contract must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act. In accordance with Public Law 95-707, large business firms are reminded that a subcontracting plan will be required which provides for subcontracting work to small and small disadvantaged firms to the maximum extent practicable. I f any of the work is to be subcontracted, the Albuquerque District goal is for 61.4% of the subcontracted dollars to go to small business with 9.1% of those dollars going to small disadvantaged business, 5.0% of those dollars to woman owned business, 1.5% of those dollars to HUB-zone small business, and 3% of those dollars to service disabled veteran owned small business. To be eligible for contract award, a firm or Joint Venture must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Registe r via the Internet Site at http://www.ccr.gov. 2.
