The purpose of this solicitation is to contract with multiple professional service firms that OMB

consultant to select one of the contracted firms as a subcontractor; or (3) allow the prime design
consultant to select its subcontractor.
Additional and supplemental services will be defined as required, and any additional professional
disciplines required for a project may be selected by the prime design consultant with agreement
from OMB. Construction administration and oversight services will be provided by OMB during
the project. Once a project is assigned the firm will provide an AIA G802-2017 Amendment which
outlines the scope of work to be provided for that specific project. To create a uniformity in the
contracts for all the projects assigned under this RFP, OMB does not intend to alter or modify the
Draft Contract or Attachments provided in this solicitation, other than information required for

Articles 1 and 13 of AIA B101-2017. This contract is the Fiscal Year 2027 and OMB will award to
multiple vendors and to renew the contract annually through Fiscal Year 2029.
