Full Service Architect - Engineer (A-E) Design IDIQ   3

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. A solicitation is anticipated to be issued in the Spring of 2023.

Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD) operates as part of the Office of Federal Lands Highway, serving the transportation engineering needs of Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMA) such as the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management and State and Local Agencies. These roadways are typically maintained by the local county, state DOTs, or FLMAs (not CFLHD).

This work will be associated with Federally funded road projects with the majority of work being funded through the Federal Lands Transportation Program (FLTP) and Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)(Public Law 117-58), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).

Projects are typically located in environmentally sensitive areas that necessitate context-sensitive design techniques and processes. Project topography type and climatic zones vary greatly including coastal, mountainous, desert and plains regions. Projects will primarily involve improvements to low-volume and low-speed roadways ranging from 3R (resurfacing, restoration and rehabilitation) to full reconstruction (4R). Projects will also include roadway bridges, multi-use trails, and parking lots. The geographic jurisdiction of CFLHD includes, but is not limited to, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Engineering services will include all pertinent highway and bridge work needed to conduct planning, scoping, preliminary and final design to prepare contract documents in support of several federally funded programs administered by CFLHD.

CFLHD anticipates awarding two or more Full-Service Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract(s) for architect-engineer (A-E) services that will be for five years and will have a maximum combined not-to-exceed five-year total shared capacity of $60.0 million.
