Disciplines and services may include, but are not limited to: architecture, electrical, mechanical, structural, civil, and geotechnical engineering, elevator, life 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 17 different site locations in the North Central Region are comprised of two prison complexes, several institutions, satellite camps, and two hospitals. Projects at select institutions may involve issues of national security.
Given the close coordination needed between the successful firms and the Regional Office, selection of firms will be limited geographically to those located within a 50 mile radius of the North Central Regional Office which is located at 400 State Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

The maximum amount of any task order is $5,000,000. Services will be required for a one-year base period with four one-year option periods for a total of up to 60 months.
The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code applicable to this requirement is 541310 with a corresponding small business size standard of $7.5 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.
