There will be no limit to the amount paid on individual delivery orders and no limit on project size; however, the total cumulative delivery order amount shall not exceed $3 million in any one-year contract period. Projects, while there will be no limit on size, will generally involve repairs, alterations, and improvements in connection with existing buildings or properties, and may range in size from $25,000 to $20 million in estimated construction cost; however, the typical project range is $2 million. A/E firms will be evaluated in terms of their professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services, specialized experience and technical competence. Evaluation factors for the selection of the firm are as follows: Experience of the firm and consultants with regard to providing the types of services described above, and with regard to accomplishments of past projects including repqir and alteration work.

Management/Organization/Production/Quality Contract: Capability and past performance of the firm and consultants with respect to mobilizing, producing a high quality design, maintaining good working relationships; working with small repair and alteration projects, meeting schedules, providing accurate cost estimates, and tracking and controlling costs. Performance location: FAR 35.602-1 requires that GSA include location of the firm in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of locality of the project be used as one of the selection criteria. In order to receive the maximum score for this factor, the A/E firm must demonstrate that at least 35 percent of the architect-engineer services (based on total annual contract price) will be accomplished within the primary geographical boundaries of the project (which is South Texas, primarily the Houston, Texas area). The A/E firm may have up to 45 calendar days after contract award to establish this production capability within the general geographical area of the project. A firm-fixed price indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract will result from the upcoming solicitation, including profit, overhead, and hourly rates for anticipated disciplines and for use in negotiationg firm-fixed price delivery orders.
