LLIDA is seeking the services of a professional services architectural or civil engineering firm (the “Design Professional”) to assist with developing and implementing LLIDA’s ADA Self Assessment and Transition Plan. The Design Professional will provide the complete ADA Transition Plan. In addition, the Design Professional will provide situation analysis and analysis of physical and programmatic barriers. The successful Design Professional will be expected to contract with LLIDA in a timely manner. The offering firm shall be the primary contracting firm as the individual firm held responsible for fulfilling all contractual obligations. The primary contracting firm shall perform a minimum of 50% of the architectural or civil engineering design services (exclusive of specialty consultants) in-house. An associated firm (if necessary) may provide up to 50% of the architectural design services for a civil engineering firm or 50% of the civil engineering design services for an architectural firm, allowing two or more firms to share in the design effort on an equal basis. LLIDA does not intend to enter into “joint-venture” agreements with multiple design professional firms. In the event that two or more firms desire to joint-venture, one firm shall act as the primary firm. It is strongly recommended that one firm act as the official primary design professional firm with the remaining firm(s) serving as consultants to the primary. The resulting Projects will be constructed by one or more general contractor(s) to be selected and contracted with separately by LLIDA. It is expected the design professional will work closely with the selected contractor and any other consultants engaged by LLIDA and in the best interest of LLIDA and the project.
