Two contracts will be awarded to perform electrical-mechanical engineering services within the boundaries or assignment area of the Nashville District. 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION-Contract time period will be for one (1) year with a one (1) option year. Tasks will be directed by individually issued task orders. Groups with prime-sub relationships or joint ventures will be considered as well as firms having all disciplines in-house. Responding groups or firms must have demonstrated competence and experience in the electrical and mechanical engineering field. The total cumulative amount of all task orders, including the option year, will not exceed $500,000 with no one task order exceeding $150,000. The minimum award under each contract will be $10,000. The contracts are anticipated to be awarded in August 1996. Ordinarily, task orders will be placed to ensure an equitable distribution of work between the two contracts. However, a task order may be placed with the other contract if the primary contractor does not have the capacity to complete the order in the required time period or the primary contractor has performed unsatisfactorily on previous orders under the subject contract. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION - Tasks may include but are not limited to studies, reports, estimates, development of design criteria, plans and specifications for repair of existing facilities and design of new systems for the Nashville District's Civil and Military Works Programs. Task orders are typically small, operation and maintenance (O&M) type projects with emphasis on quick response. All CADD services must be compatible with Microstation Version 4.0 or later. 3.
