- This is a sources sought announcement, NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP). This announcement is intended solely to investigate the breadth of the small business, architect firm community and identify those small business architect firms that have the capability of performing as the lead firm in various architect-engineer projects for the National Park Service. The National Park Service (NPS) Denver Service Center, 12795 W. Alameda Parkway, Denver, Colorado seeks to determine the availability and capability of SMALL BUSINESS SOURCES (to include Certified 8(a), Certified HubZone, Certified Service Disabled Veterans, and Woman-Owned Business Sources) for the following work: Multi-Disciplinary Architect-Engineer Design Services under an Indefinite Quantity contract for a variety of projects within areas of national significance at locations throughout the Midwest Region (primary area) which includes the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The secondary area of coverage is nationwide, i.e., design work may be performed for projects throughout the United States, its possessions, and territories, provided the individual professional state's licensure and registration requirements can be met. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 541310 with a corresponding size standard of $7.5 million gross receipts, averaged over the preceding 3 years. The size of a small business firm includes all parents, subsidiaries, affiliates etc. see 13 CFR 121.103 and 13 CFR 121.108. All firms should be certified in SAM https://www.sam.gov. The requirement in this sources sought inquiry is that for a firm to be in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.219-14, LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONRACTING, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance shall be performed by small businesses. The 50 percent limitation will be based on the total amount paid to all small business concerns. This includes amounts paid in subcontracting arrangements with other small businesses. The National Park Service will encourage demonstration of prime/sub-consultant relationships in response to the upcoming Request for Capabilities announcement, which will be formally advertised. This announcement does not specify or require any particular teaming/subcontracting relationship. All services will be provided under an Indefinite Quantity contract. The base contract period will be for one year with options to extend for four additional one-year periods. Work will be ordered by issuance of firm fixed price or not-to-exceed type task orders. The maximum ordering limitation will be $10,000,000.00 for the life of the contract. The $10,000,000.00 maximum may be realized in a single year or spread out over the life of the contract including all option years. Each task order will not exceed $1,000,000.00. The guaranteed minimum for the life of the contract, which includes the base period and all options exercised, is $25,000.00. The lead firm(s) selected for contract award will be predominately an architecture firm specializing in contemporary and/or historic architecture and landscape architecture and with in-house and/or sub-contracted multi-disciplinary engineering support.
