Joint ventures and/or consulting arrangements will be considered and evaluated on the demonstrated interdependency of the team members to provide a cohesive quality design effort. The description, scope of work and location of individual projects will be stated in Task Order Request for Proposals issued by the USFS in accordance with the IDIQ contracts. The duration of the base contract will be one (1) year. The minimum guarantee for the base contract is $2,500. All contracts will include a clause for four (4) options, each of which could extend the contract for an additional year and may be exercised at the discretion of the Government. The maximum order limitation is $1,000,000 for the entire contract. The estimated start date is 1 July 2017. 2.0 Scopes of Work. 2.1.

Task Order Scope Professional services for task orders shall be overseen or performed by contractor individuals licensed in the relevant discipline with a current registration in the state in which the project's construction will occur as required. Task Orders will be will be negotiated on a firm-fixed basis. The majority of task orders issued under these IDIQ contracts are anticipated to have an estimated cost of construction at award (ECCA) of $250,000 or less. These task orders will require limited scope engineering and architectural services with defined deliverables and performance periods of 120 calendar days or less. Some task orders may require a full range of engineering and architectural services with extended budgets or performance periods.
