C -- HIGHWAY DESIGN SOL DTFH71-94-R-00013 POC Mr. Colin Kelly, 703-285-0090 On May 1, 1995, Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, Federal Highway Administration, approved two standing shortlists under a revolving contract for the selection of Architect-Engineer firms to provide Highway Design Services under Solicitation No. DTFH71-94-R-00013 which was published in the September 16, 1994, Commerce Business Daily (CBD). Interviews of all shortlisted firms were conducted from February 22-24, 1995. One shortlist consists of 8 firms under open-competition, and the other shortlist consists of 4 emerging small business enterprises (ESBE) for those contracts that may be set-aside for ESBE's. The following is a listing of the two shortlists: Open-competition firms: Dewberry & Davis, Fairfax, Va.; KCI Technologies, Inc., Hunt Valley, Md.; Buchart-Horn, Inc., York, Pa.; Kimley-Horn & Associates, Carey, NC; Michael Baker Jr., Inc., Alexandria, Va.; HNTB Corporation, Alexandria, Va.; HDR Engineering, Inc., Virginia Beach, Va.; and Neel-Schaffer, Inc., Jackson, Ms.. Emerging Small Business Enterprises: A\E Group, Inc., Owings Mill, Md.; Nolan Associates, Inc., Ellicott City, Md.; Barbara H. Mulkey Engineering, Inc., Raleigh, NC; and Brudis & Associates, Inc., Ellicott City, Md.. As stated in the original CBD/RFP, the firms on the shortlists were to be eligible for selection on specific projects for a period of 24 months following the interview date, or until February 22, 1997. To date, only one contract has been awarded as part of this process due to changes in Federal funding. This is far less than the announced potential $8,000,000 volume of work. As a result of the decline in Federal funding, and in recognition of the cost and effort taken by the firms that participated in the solicitation process, the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division has elected to extend the eligibility for selection to the firms on the shortlists for an additional one year period, or until February 22, 1998.
