With respect to the production of plans and specifications (Title II design services), the maximum amount that can be paid to an A/E is 6% of the estimated cost of construction (41 U.S.C. 254(b)). This solicitation is set-aside for small business concerns. The NAICS Code is 541310. The Small Business Size Standard is $7 million. For the purposes of this acquisition, any concern will be classified as small business if its average annual gross revenue for the preceding three years does not exceed the small business size standard stated herein. 1.TYPES OF PROJECTS - Projects may include, but are not limited to architectural design services with respect to site planning and design for new construction or rehabilitation of NPS facilities such as: A.Visitor Centers/Interpretive Centers.

It will not be necessary for prospective firms to hold registrations within all the States that comprise the NPS, PWR (for the purpose of this solicitation, the States of California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana) at the time of submission of the SF-330, but the ability and willingness to obtain registration where it may be needed will be considered in evaluating qualifications. 3.

Work will be ordered by issuance of firm fixed-price task orders. The maximum ordering limitation will be $7,500,000.00 for the life of the contract. Each task order will not exceed $250,000.00.

The guaranteed minimum for the life of the contract, which includes the base period and all option exercised, is $25,000.00. 4. SUNSTAINABLE DESIGN - The Government has adopted sustainable design as the guiding principle for its planning, design and construction projects. By definition, this means meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In practice, sustainable design utilizes best available solutions within the design tradition and conserves global resources, utilizes energy efficiently, recycles materials and waste, and specifies ecologically responsible methods, practices, and materials in the construction and operation of Government facilities. Accordingly, the selected firm(s) must be familiar with the "Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings" and exhibit current credentials and demonstrated competency in sustainable design certifications and memberships in professionally recognized organizations that promulgate sustainable practices. 5. EXECUTIVE ORDER - In accordance with Public Law 100-418 and Executive Order 12770, as of January 1994, all federal design work will be done using the metric system of weights and measures. Work performed under this contract may be subjected to this requirement. 6. PRIMARY SERVICES REQUIRED - For the purposes of this Contract, the services to be provided will be primarily: A. Project Planning and Compliance Services B. Predesign Services: 1. Programming 2. Site Analysis 3. Supplementary Services C. Design Services: 1. Schematic Design 2. Value Analysis 3. Design Development 4. Construction Documents 5. Construction Support D. Construction Management Services 7. COORDINATION - The proposed work may extend over several fiscal years, involving projects at various stages, which will require that the selected firm(s) must be capable of providing and managing a multi-disciplinary team from within the firm or in conjunction with subconsultants. The A/E will need to have direct contact with Federal, State or local regulatory agencies to assure compliance with regulations, codes, and policies. 8. SPECIALIZED SERVICES - In the course of doing business with A/E firms under contract with the NPS, our office occasionally needs to obtain specialized services that may be provided by a subcontractor under the prime contract for A/E services. Where the majority of work may be performed solely by the sub consultant with little involvement of the prime contractor, NPS does not intend to approve or consent to the prime contractor receiving an administrative handling, coordination or related overhead charge for the sub contractor's services. Prime contractors submitting statements of qualifications should take this into consideration. 9.
