MARKET SURVEY.

This market survey is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to perform professional services for engineering studies, and the preparation of designs, specifications, schedules, and cost estimates for a large range of repair/minor construction and sustainment restoration and modernization type projects. Designs and details will involve architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, fire protection, electrical, and environmental engineering disciplines. The Government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey. The Government plans to issue a Synopsis/Request for Qualification (RFQ) that will result in a Single Award (SA) Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) task order contract. The ordering period is anticipated to be a base year plus seven (7) option years from date of award. The estimated maximum dollar ceiling/value, including the base period and all option periods, is anticipated to be roughly $30,000,000.00. Task orders will typically range between $25,000 and $1,000,000. The Government makes no representation as to the number of task orders or actual amount of work to be ordered; however, during the term of the contract, a minimum is guaranteed to be ordered from the awardee under the performance period of the contract. Contractors are not guaranteed work in excess of the minimum guarantee. Task Orders are for work at Arnold Air Force Base (AFB), TN. The Product Service Code (PSC) for this acquisition is C219 and the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 541310 with a small business size standard of $12.5M.
