GENERAL CONTRACT INFORMATION: This announcement is restricted to HubZone Small Businesses, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses and 8A firms.

The proposed services, which will be obtained by a negotiated Firm Fixed Price Contract, are for Architect /Engineer services for primarily military projects within the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division Mission Boundaries; however, some Civil works design may be required. Projects will be awarded by Individual Task Orders not to exceed $3,000,000 with the max imum contract value being $3,000,000 for each contract. The estimated construction cost per project is approximately between $100,000 and $20,000,000. The contract period is cumulative and ends three years from date of award.
