The current design contract is 100% complete but no longer has construction period services as part of the scope. The requirement is to provide engineering services for post award activities associated with the construction contract awarded for subject design project. The intent is to retain the A-E designer of record (i.e. Barry Davis Architects PC) for the Construction solicitation and for the duration of the Construction contract. The construction period of performance is currently 365 calendar days after issuance of Notice to proceed. This proposed contract is a follow-on of a previously descoped contract 36C24719N0732. Sole sourcing to the designer of record (DOR) will allow the Government to decrease lead times for award of the Construction project and ensure the DOR is readily available to provide expertise in relation to their own Design documents
Required AE CPS services include, but are not limited to, construction submittal reviews, responses to contractor Requests for Information (RFI’s), execution of design changes and potential design changes, and attendance at necessary site visits and construction related meetings in order to ensure the DOR’s design is properly executed, adjusted, and interpreted in order to deliver a complete and useable facility consistent with original design intent.
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS, no solicitation will be issued on SAM.gov, and no response to this notice is requested. However, any System for Award Management (SAM) registered firm that can meet the requirement may provide a capability statement or proposal which will be considered by the Contracting Officer and should include an explanation how the contractor would be able to complete the same CPS services as efficiently and effectively as the DOR. Any prospective design firm will need to possess working knowledge of all issues that may arise and will assume the liabilities associated with all aspects of the design. Responses must be provided by March 4, 2026, at 1:00pm EST.
A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement will be based on market research including responses to this notice. It is within the Government's sole discretion to decide whether the information received in response to this notice warrants development of an alternative approach. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. There will not be reimbursement to any firm for developing a response to this notice. The NAICS for this requirement is 541330 and the size standard is $25.5M.
