Architectural-engineering services required are primarily architectural in nature but a strong full service team is required. Special emphasis is placed on the capabilities of the structural (seismic), mechanical and electrical team members in the renovation of existing facilities. Contract term will be a one-year Base Period with options for four (4) additional one-year periods. Each period will be one year from date of contract award/exercise of option or until award of the annual maximum of $1,500,000, whichever occurs first.

Professional services are required to support the Navy's family housing construction and renovation program. Support is required in the area of building, landscaping, and infrastructure construction and renovation.
