The work consists of specific A&E services for a continuing care retirement community to include, but not limited to, feasibility study, concept design, plans and specifications, construction cost estimates, field engineering investigation, new building and renovation work, construction management and bridging documents for design/build for the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH). The work will be for a base period of 12-months, and three (3) 12-month option periods, to begin on 05/01/2025 pursuant to FAR Part 6.302-1(b)(1)(i). See attached draft performance work statement (PWS) for additional requirements.

Fiscal Service will consider written responses received no later than 10:00a.m. ET on Monday, January 13, 2025. Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows the vendor is capable of providing continuing work on AE Works Ltd’s existing A&E design services for AFRH-W. If no written response is received that clearly demonstrates the vendor’s ability to meet all of the salient features of the requirement, then Fiscal Service shall proceed with an award on a sole source basis to AE Works Ltd.
