The Small Business size standard is $14M. Small businesses are encouraged to team with other businesses. The A-E firm must be capable of responding to and working on multiple task orders concurrently. As a result of this announcement, the Wisconsin National Guard intends to award a minimum of two (2) individual Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide A-E services in support of Wisconsin Air National Guard (ANG) and Wisconsin Army National Guard (ARNG) mission requirements. These are not requirements contracts. These contracts will consist of a Base Award Period of one (1) calendar year, and four (4) one-year option periods.

The minimum total fee guaranteed to each contract awardee is $1,000, within the base period of one (1) year. There is no guaranteed minimum for the option years. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed price task orders. Task orders will be primarily for projects with a construction value typically between $300,000 and $3,000,000 dollars; however, as required, larger and/or smaller projects will be executed under this contract. Projects to be designed are not yet determined and funds are not presently available. Selection of A-E firms is not based upon competitive bidding procedures, but rather upon the professional qualifications necessary for the performance of the required services. All A-E firms are cautioned to review the restrictions of FAR 9.5 Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest and 36.209 Construction Contracts with Architect-Engineer Firms. Any A-E firm that prepares a Design-Build Request for Proposal for a particular project will be restricted from participating in any contract or task order for the Design-Build of that particular project. All interested Architect-Engineers are reminded that, in accordance with the provisions of PL 95-507, they will be expected to place subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent consistent with the efficient performance of the contract with small and small disadvantaged firms. Large business firms that intend to pursue an IDIQ contract must convey their intent to meet the minimum small business goals on the SF 330, Section C. by identifying subcontracting opportunities with small businesses.
