Contracts awarded as a result of this announcement will be administered (1) by Savannah District for use on civil and military projects under its jurisdiction or (2) by Directorate of Public Work/Base Civil Engineer offices at specific Army and Air Force installations within GA, SC and NC. Contract limits and contract size will be determined at the time of selection. Typically, each contract will consist of a base ordering period and two option periods, each period not to exceed one year, for a total of three years. The ordering period will be for one year or whenever the Contracting Officer determines the ordering period is over and any dollar amount not consumed by task orders issued during the ordering period may be carried over to the next ordering period.

The total amount of each contract over the three year ordering period may not exceed $3,000,000. ***Multiple contracts will be placed for work at specific installations which will be administered by the installations. Multiple contracts will also be placed for work throughout Savannah District's area of jurisdiction which will be administered by Savannah District. Assignment of individual task orders to the contracts with identical scopes of work will be based upon disciplines as follows: (1) architectural design will be assigned to a prime architectural design contractor, (2) Mechanical/electrical design will be assigned to a prime mechanical/electrical contractor, (3) Civil/structural/topographic survey will be assigned to a prime civil/structural/topographic surveying contractor, and (4) When all disciplines are equally involved, orders will be assigned to a full service design contractor. Generally, task orders will be assigned by disciplines. However, other factors such as proximity of the firm to the project site and familiarity with design criteria/codes and construction methods used at that locality, current capacity of the firm to accomplish the task order in the required timeframe, equitable distribution of work among identical contracts and performance and quality of deliverables under the current IDIQ contracts must be considered.*** This announcement is open to all firms regardless of size.
