<DESC>1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: A-E services are expected to be required for a variety of projects, aerial surveying and mapping in nature. The type of contract proposed is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC). These services are procured in accordance with PL 92-582 (Brooks A/E Act) and FAR Part 36. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) will be negotiated and awarded with a base period not to exceed one year and two option periods not to exceed one year each. The amount of work in each contract period will not exceed $750,000. The option period may be exercised when the contract amount for the base period or preceding option period has been exhausted or nearly exhausted.
