Sourcewell has awarded an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction contract to F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC for general contractor services in Region 5 of Michigan. Effective May 7, 2025, the agreement features an initial two-year term with options for three one-year extensions. The contract establishes a framework for participating entities to procure general construction and trade-specific services, utilizing a Construction Task Catalog and specific adjustment factors for normal versus non-normal working hours and prevailing versus non-prevailing wage projects. The scope of work is governed by comprehensive technical specifications covering CSI Divisions 01 through 46, including requirements for concrete, masonry, metals, and asbestos encapsulation. Performance is measured through field tests and inspections at the project sites, with strict adherence to standards such as OSHA, NFPA, and ASTM. Contractors must comply with rigorous personnel security protocols, including mandatory background checks, drug screening, and the use of identification tags. While the contract emphasizes sustainability through Environmental Product Declarations and low-emitting material requirements, it operates as a cooperative purchasing agreement rather than a standard federal procurement, as it does not utilize FAR clauses or federal accounting identifiers.
