Post construction award options such as shop drawing review/approval, consultation during construction and Title II inspection may be included. There will be no dollar limit per project. The total fee that may be paid under this contract (including one option year) will not exceed $1,000,000. The duration of this contract will be for one year from the date of the initial contract award with an option for one additional one-year period which may be exercised at the discretion of the Government subject to workload and/or satisfaction of A/E performance under the subject contract.

Initial Project: Provide professional marine engineering services for the preparation of contract drawings, specifications using the SPECSINTACT system, design analysis, cost estimates, and AutoCAD compatible disks to structurally repair Berth 11 which is a reinforced concrete deck / pile cap supported by steel H-piles, and replace the existing fender system at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, ME. Design support services will include civil, mechanical, electrical, and potentially architectural work. SF254/255 package must clearly address all of these design support services. This initial project will be the guaranteed minimum for this contract.
