Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded a contract to Wold Architects and Engineers for Architect/Engineering (A/E) Construction Support Services for a Roof Replacement project in Chicago, IL. This award ensures continuity for the construction phase of a design previously developed by the firm.
Scope of Work
Wold Architects and Engineers will provide essential technical expertise during the construction phase of the roof replacement. This includes addressing specialized inquiries regarding specifications and performing requisite construction oversight. The services are critical for a project aimed at remediating active water infiltration on the 6th floor, which has impacted the operational mission of the ATFE.

Justification for Award
This award was made to Wold Architects and Engineers on a sole-source basis due to their unique position as the original design firm. Engaging an alternative A/E firm was deemed unacceptable due to substantial risks, including increased fiscal costs, liability constraints (new firms refusing ownership of existing designs), significant operational delays, loss of institutional knowledge, and technical risks associated with a new team's unfamiliarity with prior engineering decisions. The urgency of the roof replacement, necessitated by active water infiltration, further supported this decision, as GSA cannot sustain further delays. Wold Architects and Engineers possesses the comprehensive background data, especially given the departure of original Government project personnel.
Additional Notes
The construction solicitation was previously publicized, but potential property disposition led to its cancellation and the expiration of Wold's original task order. This new award addresses the critical need to proceed with the roof replacement without further delays.
