C -- CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES POC Paul Cataldo (301)975-6332, Pauline Mallgrave (301)975-6330 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposes to modify contract no. 50SBNB4C8051 awarded on October 25, 1993 to CRSS Constructors, Inc., 1300 N. 17th Street, Suite 600, Arlington, VA 22209 for construction management services associated with the design and construction of new and renovated laboratory space under the Capital Improvements Facilities Program (CIFP) in Gaithersburg, MD and Boulder, CO. The existing indefinite delivery - indefinite quantity contract was awarded with a $10,000 minimum/$10,000,000 maximum for the initial 3-year period of performance, a $5,000 minimum/$3,000,000 maximum for each of the seven 1-year option periods, and a $15,000,000 maximum over the life of the contract. The proposed modification will increase the contract ceiling to a $50,000,000 maximum over the life of the contract to fully satisfy NIST's requirements under its program. CRSS' background accumulated through performance of construction management services such as design and constructability reviews, cost estimating, master project scheduling, facility and space coordination, and move and occupancy planning during the design phase of the CIFP has provided them invaluable team experience and program knowledge which makes them uniquely qualified to perform the required services. Services are available from only one source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 and 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1). This announcement is not a request for proposal nor an invitation to submit SF254 and SF2544 forms. See Note 22. (0291)
