- Description
- This requirement is to provide the Department of Commerce (DOC) and other Government Agencies with a full range of professional architectural and engineering services including project management, facility programming, planning, facility condition surveys, facility commissioning/recommissioning, project cost estimating, value engineering, various types of engineering studies and analyses, architectural and engineering design services, construction management, and construction inspection services. The AE shall provide the personnel, equipment, and materials needed to support the Government in its responsibilities of conducting the AE services in the areas listed above for its worldwide facilities. It is anticipated that the primary emphasis of the effort accomplished under this contract shall fall in the technical discipline areas of architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, civil, computer, environmental, landscape architecture, interior design and structural engineering. Other technical disciplines (examples: environmental, geological, value engineering, commissioning, cost estimators, acoustical engineers, laboratory consultants, etc.) could be required to a lesser degree in support of the primary disciplines. The following describes requirements to accomplished under the proposed contract: Project Management and Planning, Facility Surveys, Cost Estimating, Value Engineering, and Miscellaneous Studies and Analysis, Architecture and Engineering Design, Construction Management, Observation/Quality Assurance and Facility Commissioning / Recommissioning. The contract will consist of a 12-month base period from the date of contract award and four, 12-month option periods. Services will be implemented through individual task orders, with a total contract amount not to exceed $9.5 million over the five-year contract life.
