Lighting considerations shall be as follows: 3form manufacturer will coordinate with the lighting designer. Finishing considerations shall be as follows: Conference room panel finishes will be Markerboard. Other panel finishes to be determined. Brand Name Justification: This requirement to Washington Group Sales for the purchase of 3-form product material and directly associated services appears to meet the criteria for a Brand Name (other than full and open competition) acquisition for the following reasons. As a cost-saving measure, the architect factored this project into the design of the space. This project has been essentially completed in the design phase. This specific product was designed in by the architect, a potential change to another product may not allow for the successful completion. We expect that once the building permit issue is resolved, it will take approximately three (3) weeks to complete the construction. The building permit issue should be resolved in approximately 1-2 weeks. The area specified for the 3-form design need to be completed in order to pass final inspection and be ready for staff move-in within two weeks after completion. Delay in moving into the space as scheduled will have a major impact on other NIH components scheduled to backfill the space we vacate. The contractor shall deliver the products and services after receipt of award, the Government will evaluate based on F.O.B. destination, and acceptance at Bethesda, Maryland. Information provided must demonstrate the ability to meet the specifications described herein. Sources demonstrating the capability to accomplish the above shall provide pertinent information that is in sufficient detail to demonstrate their ability to perform within 5 days of this notice. Award will be made to the technically acceptable low offer.
