Background: • The current A/E Contractor was issued a task order to provide design, post-design and commissioning services for the defined project, which is currently on-going. They received the NTP on January 23, 2009 and were scheduled to complete the work on December 12, 2012. • The project is under construction at this time, and due to some unforeseen or hidden conditions additional work and time extension shall be required. • During the construction, the current A/E's contract expired and additional funds and extension of time could not be offered without an extension to their contract. • The current A/E Contractor created 100% drawings and is familiar with NIH issues pertaining to the field conditions and Institute constraints and documentation developed to date. They also have the design intent knowledge that was developed during the ongoing preparation of the construction documents and has spent hundreds of man hours getting familiar with the drawings, the building, and the client. • They have provided commissioning services for the entire renovation of 1st & 2nd floors (100%).
