CONTRACT INFORMATION: Architect-Engineer (Civil) services procured in
accordance with PL 92-582 (Brooks A-E Act) and FAR Part 36, are
required for various military and civil works projects within the
Pacific Region. Work sites will primarily be within the State of
Hawaii, but may include other Pacific Region locations in the Pacific
Ocean Division (POD) Area. No award of task orders for work outside of
the Honolulu Engineer District will be undertaken without
authorization from the affected District within POD. An indefinite
delivery contract will be negotiated and awarded with a base period not
to exceed one year and two option periods not to exceed one year each.
The amount of work in each contract period will not exceed
approximately $1,000,000.00. Work will be issued by negotiated firm
fixed-price task orders, with a maximum amount not to exceed the task
order limit. The Government obligates itself to obtain no less than
$20,000.00 in services during the term of the base period and
$10,000.00 in services during the term of each option period. The
contract resulting from this solicitation may be administered along
with other existing indefinite delivery contracts of the same scope and
purpose. If so, the following will be considered in deciding which
contractor/indefinite delivery contract will be selected to negotiate
an order: current capacity to accomplish the order in the required
time, uniquely specialized experience, equitable distribution of work
among the contractors, and performance and quality of deliverables
under the current contract. The Government may exercise a contract
option before the expiration of the base contract period or preceding
option period if the contract amount for the base period or preceding
option period has been exhausted or nearly exhausted. The contract is
anticipated to be awarded in June 2000. This announcement is open to
all businesses regardless of size. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Work
