- Description
- Pursuant to the authority in FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) intends to negotiate an increase of $605,000, from $900,000 to $1,505,000, under Contract NRC-HQ-13-C-10-0035 ("the contract") with the contractor, Eighth Day Design Inc., 7653 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22043-2520. NRC uses this contract for its Architecture and Engineering (A&E) requirements for small and large scale construction projects at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. A significant, but previously unanticipated, large scale space renovation and construction project known as the White Flint Consolidation Project emerged and is now underway in order to conform to the new GSA federal space standard mandate. These new space standards are federal government-wide and require each agency to operate within a 120 square feet utilization rate. NRC has to work vigorously to meet this requirement by the end of 2015. The ceiling price on the contract has nearly been exhausted in the base year of the contract due in part to this unanticipated mandate. The NRC needs to increase the ceiling price on the contract to ensure sufficient ceiling price and scope to handle A&E requirements related to the unanticipated construction projects related to the GSA space mandate until such time that a new acquisition can be competed in the coming months to replace the contract. The unanticipated A&E services required will include: conducting engineer led field surveys, graphical surveys, analysis of existing work space and planned work space, preparing engineering studies, creating reports of recommended actions and /or design packages, developing program of requirements, cost estimates, test fits, space plans, design intent drawings (DIDs), construction documents (CD's), and project management. At the current contract utilization rate, the contract is estimated to exhaust its current ceiling price on or about September 1, 2014. NRC expects that it will take six or more months to conduct the follow-on competitive acquisition to replace the contract. Therefore, without an appropriate increase in ceiling price to the contract that would accommodate NRC's previously unanticipated needs for that period of time, it would cause significant disruption to NRC's ability to address GSA's new space utilization rate mandate that requires federal government agencies to reduce their footprint space standards, and it would also delay NRC's ability to relocate some of its staff before another federal agency is schedule to assume the lease for that space. The solicitation to replace the contract will be advertised in the coming months.
