1.1 Short Description.

The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) desires to obtain the services of multiple Architectural- Engineering (A/E) firms to execute the scope of work provided herein. The AOC has used the A/E Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) procurement vehicle for critical architectural and engineering services in support of facilities management for the Capitol Complex to include House Office Buildings, Senate Office Buildings, United States Capitol Building, Capitol Grounds & Arboretum, Capitol Visitor Center, Library of Congress Buildings & Grounds, United States Supreme Court Buildings & Grounds, Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, US Botanic Gardens the Capitol Power Plant, and the Office of the Chief Security Officer. These services have allowed smooth delivery of critical design tasks which are later implemented in construction. This need still exists to achieve successful implementation of support services for the Capitol Complex. Jurisdictions have expressed interest and the need for continued A/E Design capabilities into the future. The IDIQ is a valuable and efficient procurement vehicle for delivery of the necessary architectural and engineering needs.

Construction costs for AOC projects are generally between $10 million and $20 million, with larger projects ranging up to over $50 million.
