The antinipated range for each task order is between $25,000 and $2,500,000, with most tak order falling in the range of $25,000 -- $500,000. After award of the initial contracts, the three successful offerors will compete for tak orders based on either Best Value to the Government or Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. The successful offerors will be encouraged to submit technical and price proposals on all future task orders. Lack of participation may result in the Government not exercising the option for extending the contract. Participation in the pre-proposal conference or site visits for future task orders will be the responsibility of the offeror and are not directly reimbursable by the Government. Task orders will require multi-disciplined design services in all aspects of general building construction for new and renovation projects includingcomprehensive interior design, lead and asbestos abatement. Projects will also require incorporation of sustainable features. Multiple design teams may be proposed to satisfy a variety of building types projects to be awarded during the term of this contract. Professional registration or certification is required in the state where the projects are located (Florida and Mississippi) as needed to obtain construction environmental permits and to comply with agency regulations. All lead designers must be registered/certified in their discipline. For example, Fire Protection Engineers must be registered in the discipline of Fire Protection Engineering.
