REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION
for
Architect and Engineering Services for Public Housing Portfolio
The Highland Park Housing Commission (“HPHC”) requests qualifications from qualified architect and engineer firms on an as-needed basis through the use of Task Orders. Each proposed team must demonstrate that it can provide Architecture and Engineering services including Architecture, Site and Land Planning, Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Cost Estimating and Construction Contract Administration. If the offeror does not provide all of the requested architectural and/or engineering services in-house, offerors are allowed to include sub-consultants as part of its team. The contract is expected to have an overall duration of up to two (2) years, which includes one (1) initial base year, and one (1), one-year extension option to be exercised at HPHC’s sole discretion.
Once an indefinite quantity task order contract has been established between the parties and HPHC identifies a need, the HPHC will prepare and request a scope of services, independent cost estimate of services and a request for Task Order Proposal from the firm. The firm will submit a detailed Task Order Fee Proposal usually within 5-10 calendar days as prescribed in the Request for Task Order Proposal to be issued by the HPHC, depending on the complexity of the scope of services. HPHC will review and negotiate the Not-To-Exceed Task Order Fee proposal (based on the original hourly rates established in the base contract) and come to an agreement with the firm. At this time the HPHC will issue a written Task Order Notice to Proceed identifying the Not-To-Exceed Task Order price and schedule.
The A/E Services may include, but not necessarily be limited to, the services set forth in Article A of the HUD Model Form of Agreement, HUD-51915 (See Attachment O) and as follows. Specific A/E services will be requested per task as needed in a Request for Task Order Proposal. Additionally, the A/E may be requested to provide professional A/E Services specifically related to ADA and Section 504/Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards.
