Description

The government contemplates making an award from this announcement to a Small Business Administration 8(a) Program Participant (known as 8(a)). This is for Architect-Engineer (A-E), Title I and Title II services, in accordance with PL 92-582 (Brooks A-E Act) and FAR part 36, for a firm-fixed price indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for a basic period of one year or less, with the Government's option to extend for four additional one-year option periods. It is the intent of the government to award one contract, however, the government reserves the right to award more than one or none. Architect-Engineer (A-E) services are required for design of miscellaneous operations and maintenance projects, and for other supporting services for the 50th Space Wing headquartered at Schriever AFB (SAFB), Colorado. Projects will be issued to the A-E by negotiated, firm-fixed price delivery orders as the need arises during the contract period. Individual delivery orders are not expected to exceed $499,000. Cumulative amounts for delivery orders in a fiscal year will not exceed $750,000. A minimum of $5,000 will be guaranteed to the A-E for the life of the contract (to include any exercised option periods). Contract award is anticipated in FY 07.

Firms are reminded of the requirement at FAR 36.601-3(a), which requires the architect-engineer to specify, in the construction design specifications, use of the maximum practicable amount of recovered materials consistent with the performance requirements, availability, price reasonableness, and cost-effectiveness.
