CANCELATION-Design Services for Elevator Lobbies & Common Spaces Modernization

Solicitation 19C02026Q0029 is a negotiated request for architectural and engineering professional design services to modernize the elevator lobbies and common areas of the U.S. Embassy Compound's Main Chancery Building in Bogota, Colombia. The project aims to address outdated conditions, including insufficient lighting, worn finishes, and a lack of cultural heritage elements, by creating a contemporary diplomatic workspace. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive architectural and interior design, cultural heritage conservation, and multi-disciplinary engineering services covering structural, mechanical, electrical, and fire and life safety systems. Key deliverables include site and demolition plans, existing conditions reports, reflected ceiling plans, and a signage plan, all adhering to IBC, NFPA, and ADA/ABA standards. The government intends to award a firm fixed price contract, with additional services potentially provided on a time-and-materials basis, to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. Prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management and submit a two-volume proposal consisting of a technical proposal and a detailed price proposal by September 11, 2026. Performance is scheduled to begin in January 2027, with milestones ranging from program verification and schematic design to the final submission of construction documents and permits by August 2027. Contract administration will be managed by the Civil Engineering Post Manager, and payments will be processed through the embassy's electronic invoice portal based on the acceptance of specific deliverables.
