The Government intends to issue an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract consisting of one 12 month base period, with four 12 month option periods.

A minimum of $1,000.00 in fees paid is guaranteed for the base period of performance. No specific minimum amount is guaranteed in any of the option years. This is a 100% small business set aside. The prime firm's principal expertise shall be of an architectural nature. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 541310. The small business size standard is $7,000,000. An Architectural firm is considered a small business if its annual receipts over the past three years have averaged less than $7.5 million.

The scope of services required includes, but is not limited to: multi-discipline architectural and engineering services for various facilities at CDC. A&E services for architectural, security, laboratory, interior design, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, cost estimating, and civil disciplines to perform design and construction document production, studies, investigations, and evaluations, construction phase services, and other related services as defined in each Project Task Order (PTO). Projects will vary by type, scope, and complexity, requiring the use of various and multiple facility design disciplines and related technical services. Project and building types predominately may include renovations and additions, with a small potential of new construction. Design experience should include phased renovations, laboratories, offices, and other supporting facilities, with emphasis on construction document production. All members of the A-E team are required to have the ability to produce all documents on AutoCAD Release 2015 format, of the design and master facility database drawings, utilizing the CDC standard layers. Projects may occur at all CDC locations; although, the majority of the work is presumed to be in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
