Multiple Award AEP IDIQ Services Contracts

The District of Columbia Courts (DC Courts) has issued a Special Notice (Solicitation No. DCSC-25-RFP-044) seeking to award two Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for Architectural, Engineering, and Planning (AEP) services. The solicitation is specifically targeted at supporting the Capital Projects and Facilities Management Division (CPFMD) of the DC Courts. The contracts will have a base period of two years with three additional one-year option periods, potentially extending the total contract duration to five years. Each IDIQ contract will have a minimum guaranteed value of $25,000 and a maximum yearly task order limit of $3 million, with a total contract capacity of $15 million over the entire contract period. The procurement is open to architectural and engineering firms capable of providing comprehensive AEP services for the DC Courts' facilities.

The primary objective of this solicitation is to establish two IDIQ contracts that will provide flexible, on-demand architectural, engineering, and planning services for the DC Courts' facilities. Contractors must submit their proposals by March 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, with a mandatory pre-proposal briefing scheduled for March 6, 2025, at the H. Carl Moultrie I Courthouse. The services will encompass a wide range of activities including pre-design services, facilities planning, space programming, schematic and concept design, technical investigations, construction document preparation, cost estimations, and construction administration support. Evaluation of proposals will focus on past performance (30 points), team organization and key personnel (30 points), task order delivery approach (20 points), and past performance references (10 points). While there is no specific set-aside for this procurement, contractors must comply with various requirements such as drug-free workplace certification, ethics in public contracting, and non-discrimination policies. The DC Courts will conduct a shortlisting process and may request oral presentations before making final contract awards.
