The solicitation will be for a firm-fixed-price, Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build, Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) for electrical construction services utilizing NAICS Code 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction in support of the Washington Aqueduct (WA). It is the Government's intention to structure the SATOC as a three year base with (2) two option years for a maximum possible award total of eight million dollars ($8.0M) over a five year period. The Government plans to solicit a single solicitation resulting in the award of a single SATOC. The purpose of the contract is to provide electrical design improvements and upgrades to WA facilities to increase their reliability and improve their function. The Washington Aqueduct serves the National Capital Region by directly providing potable water to its three wholesale customers - DC Water, Arlington County and Fairfax County, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Washington Aqueduct's water supply also serves the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery and Reagan National Airport.
