The Government may place delivery orders for the development of project books/statements of work under this contract. The A-E firm awarded the contract for this Indefinite Delivery Contract will be ineligible to prepare both the project books/statements of work and the design services for those follow-on projects. If a Large Business concern is awarded this contract a subcontracting plan will be required in accordance with FAR 19.7. Prospective A-E firms will be evaluated on the relative order of importance as listed below: (1) PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS: The project team should include the following disciplines: Architectural, Civil, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical. Also, other beneficial disciplines include Environmental, Interior Design, Acoustical, Landscape, etc. The make-up of the proposed design team, to include outside consulting firms, will be evaluated. The qualifications and experience of the team members will be evaluated. Therefore, the anticipated design team should be identified. (2) SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: The nature of the contract is such that experience in designing/renovating military type facilities is highly desired. Therefore, experience and technical competence in designing these types of projects and preparation of project documents should be indicated. (3) CAPACITY TO DEVELOP PROJECTS WITHIN THE TIME LIMITS: The general capabilities of the firm to develop the design and prepare the project documents within the time limits set by the Government will be examined. The time limit for each delivery order negotiated under this IDIQ contract will be negotiated separately for each delivery order.
