Quick Summary
This Special Notice serves as an amendment to Solicitation 040ADV-26-R-0022 for A/E Design Services – Building A, 8th Floor Modernization by the Government Publishing Office. The amendment removes all cost/price proposal requirements and associated evaluation factors to ensure compliance with the Brooks Act.
Scope of Change
The amendment specifically modifies the solicitation's proposal preparation instructions (Section L) and evaluation factors for award (Section M). It removes the requirement for a Cost/Price Proposal (Volume 7) and the Price Evaluation Criteria. This change aligns the solicitation with the Brooks Act (40 U.S.C. § 1101-1104), which governs the negotiation of contracts for architectural and engineering (A/E) services.
Submission & Evaluation Impact
Offerors are no longer required to submit cost/price information. Consequently, the evaluation of proposals will not include a rating of price. Instead, the evaluation of price will focus on determining if the proposed price is fair, reasonable, and complete, relying on market forces and historical data. The Brooks Act mandates that compensation for A/E services be negotiated based on the scope, complexity, and professional nature of the services.
