Specifications include, but are not limited to: A. Architectural & Engineering Services IDIQ Contracts Statement of Need Architectural & Engineering consulting services are needed to design new or renovated space in existing GSU buildings. Typically, GSU DCS will provide the Consultant with a program, scope of work, budget for construction, and floor plans for the project work area. The Consultant will prepare and deliver to DCS traditional architectural & engineering construction documents as well as provide construction administration services. Most projects will require the design of information technology, audio visual, and network systems and must be integrated by the Consultant into the construction documents. To this end, Consultants will be chosen for a one-year term, with the possibility of a one-year renewal, to be open-ended design providers. The Consultant will be on call to provide design and consultation on an as-needed basis. Typically, work required may be a part of a larger renovation project or may be the primary goal of the project. B. General Requirements The Consultant may propose as a single architectural firm with an engineering firm as a consultant, or as an integrated architectural & engineering firm. The Consultant will be expected to have appropriate professional staffing to accomplish the scope of work within the specified term of the assigned IDIQ contract package. Sustainability and environmental considerations will be an important aspect of all design efforts. The IDIQ Professional Services Contract will be with Georgia State University as an authorized agent of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (“Owner”). The Consultant will be responsive to both the Owner and GSU in complying with master planning formats and standards, complying with design standards, developing detailed plans both textual and visual, conducting reviews and design critiques, coordinating ADA, fire, and life safety aspects of design with appropriate state and local authorities, and providing periodic progress reports and meeting notes both oral and written. The term of the IDIQ contract is to be approximately 12 months. During the term of the IDIQ contract, the Consultant will be on call to provide design and consultation as needed for a specific project. The Consultant will be required to designate a highly qualified principal designer to function as the lead Project Manager for the duration of the project. The Owner reserves the right to designate other engineers or specialty consultants/sub-consultants to be used for each project.
