A&E Post Design Services for Electrical Vault 11 Transformer and Switchgear Replacement

Reference Sources Sought Notice that was posted under Reference Number HHS-NIH-ORF-SBSS-15-0001, this pre-solicitation notice provides information with regards to the Office of Research Facilities (ORF), NIH intent to issue a solicitation to WFT Engineers as described in the attached Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition for Post Design Architectural and Engineering Services. The A/E of Record, MW Design, a Joint Venture, was performing Post-Design services under Contract HHSN29220070009I, Order HHSN29200040. MW Design has notified the Government that effective September 30, 2015 MW Design would cease to exist. Hence, the task order was terminated. The ORF Program is seeking a reasonable path to obtain Post Design services immediately or as soon as possible since this complex, technically difficult, multiple phase electrical infrastructure replacement project has been awarded and is underway. Submittals and RFIs have begun to arrive; however, no A/E of Record is available to provide responses. Based on this, the ORF has suspended the construction pending the post design award. It is essential that Post-Design services be continued throughout the construction performance. The project will provide for a continuation of Post Design services, under a new contract, after September 24, 2015.
