The Agreement for On-Call Architectural and Technical Design Services will have a three-year term and will have a contract limit of $5,000,000.00. Projects will be initiated by issuing task orders to the contract with the aggregate fee for all task orders limited to $5,000,000.00. The City reserves the right to issue Proposal Requests to multiple On-Call Consultant Teams for a single Task Order.

For specific task orders requiring specialty consultants under the On-call Professional and Technical Design Services: Category 1- Architectural Design Agreement (the “Agreement), the Design Consultant may solicit a proposal from a sub consultant who is not listed as a Consultant Team Member in the Agreement. Participation from specialty sub-consultants added at the Task Order level who are not listed as a Consultant Team Member in the Agreement can count towards the M/WBE goal if they have an M/WBE Certification with the City.
To assist in expediting design services for task orders, consultant teams are encouraged to include more than one sub consultant for disciplines/firms often experiencing a back-log of work. The City expects its On-Call Design Service consultants to provide responsive customer service as it relates to project needs and requirements. Please note the prime consultant is responsible for managing the approach to meeting the prescribed M/WBE goal associated with the Agreement.
State and local government facilities must follow the requirement of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 ADA Standards). Facilities that do not comply with the 2010 ADA Standards may prevent people with disabilities from fully and equally enjoying Denver’s services, programs, or activities and may constitute discrimination on the basis of disability. Any construction or alterations to Denver buildings and facilities by it or on its behalf will fully comply with the requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards. Consultants are therefore responsible for ensuring architectural designs for construction and/or alterations are compliant with the 2010 ADA Standards.
The Agreement is managed by Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, who has contract authority on behalf of the City. Department of Transportation and Infrastructure is contractually responsible for managing each task order, and a Project Manager within Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will be the Consultant Team’s direct point of contact for each task order issued. The awarded Consultant Teams shall ensure project communication between the Consultants and the End User is conveyed and managed through the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Project Manager. In addition, the City would like the Design Consultant to identify a consistent point of contact who will become familiar with the contract language, forms, and requirements set forth in the Agreement, as well as fully understand the City’s process of doing business as it relates to the task orders and On-Call Agreement
