Indefinite Delivery & Indefinite Quantity
For more than twenty-five years, many federal agencies such as The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, The Army Corps of Engineers, The United
States Postal Service, The General Services Administration, and The Federal Bureau of Prisons have engaged design professionals under terms of
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts. Municipal Governments, Colleges/Universities, and Commercial/Industrial enterprises with
large facilities have also recognized the inherent advantages of ID/IQ contracts.
ID/IQ Contracts
- Qualifications-based selection
- Reduced turn around time
- Elimination of the time and expense of issuing Requests for Proposals (RFPS) for routine projects
- A uniform set of professional service contract terms and conditions
- A single point of contact and management for all A/E work
- Direct client control of the scope of work and associated costs without reliance on intermediary outside agents
- A dedicated team of design professional having a growing, in-depth familiarity with your facilities
- Billing rates established in advance, without built-in risk factors (inherent in one-shot engagements), thereby resulting in extremely economical resource
