The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Southeast Regional Office (SERO) anticipates the need for a multiple award, indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ), firm fixed price contract for supplemental architect-engineer (A/E) services with a one-year base requirement and up to four option years. While the Government anticipates multiple awards, no more than two awards are expected.
The services will be for various BOP facilities in the Southeast Region to include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Puerto Rico. Disciplines and services may include, but are not limited to: architecture, electrical, mechanical, structural, civil and geotechnical engineering, elevator, life safety, fire safety, code-compliance, LEED certification, Section 106, hazardous material consultant services, life safety inspections, investigations, land surveys, materials testing services, comprehensive subsurface investigations, preparation of construction documents, estimates, bidding services, construction administration and/or assistance to BOP staff in the preparation of in-house designs or related work. Services may also include special studies, reports, programming, site evaluations, environmental assessment for remediation, and other associated work.
Most projects will take place in a fully occupied, fully operational, secure correctional environment. Most projects require complex design effort and detail along with extensive coordination between design disciplines, the institution, and the Regional Office during design and construction. Institutions, located at a total of seventeen (17) different site locations in the Southeast Region, are comprised of two prison complexes, several institutions and satellite camps. Projects at select institutions may involve issues of national security.
Given the close coordination needed between the successful firm(s) and regional office, selection of firms will be limited geographically to those located within a 50-mile radius of the Southeast Regional Office, located at 3800 Camp Creek Parkway, SW, Building 2000, Atlanta, Georgia 30331. Firms are to perform services as required by the issuance of individual task orders. The guaranteed annual minimum amount of each contract is $10,000.00 and the estimated annual maximum is $500,000. The maximum amount of any individual task order is $500,000.00. Services will be required for a one-year base period with four one-year option periods (if exercised) for a total of up to 60 months from the date of award.
The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code applicable to this requirement is 541310 with a corresponding small business size standard of $8 million average annual receipts for the firms preceding three fiscal years. Firms larger than this average will be considered large businesses and will be required to submit a small business subcontracting plan if selected to submit a proposal unless the services will be completed fully in-house by the firm for the entire contract duration.
Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. NAICS code 541310 must be included where applicable in registrations.
This requirement will be fulfilled pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FA) 36.6 and the Brooks Act.
Pursuant to FAR 36.209 and 36.606(c), for any firm(s) receiving award under this requirement, no construction contract may be awarded to the firm (including any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) that designs the corresponding project.
