Clarifications: 1. All work required to produce design intent drawings and construction drawings shall be priced in the fixed price per r.s.f. rate. Construction administration, assisting with general contractor selection, and base building technical advising shall be priced in the IDIQ CLIN hourly rates. 2. Offerors must have an office in the Washington D.C. metro area' means there must exist an office as of September 12, 2001 within Washington D.C., Montgomery County (MD), Prince Georges County (MD), Alexandria City (VA), Arlington County (VA), Fairfax County (VA), Loudoun County (VA), and Prince William County (VA). 3.

The SEC reserves the right not to entertain any further questions. Due to the developer's inquiries regarding base building items, the SEC has an immediate and urgent need for architectural and engineering services. Any delay in responding to the developer's inquiries could cause detriment to the interests of the SEC. Therefore, the SEC is deviating from the time limits and certain other procedures of FAR Part 36 in procuring these services. Offerors interested in being considered for the SEC's Interior Design requirement must respond by Friday, September 21, 2001, 3:00pm local time.
