If initial space planning has been done, how is that coordinated so that the customer agency does not pay for duplicate design services?
GSA will identify the specific design requirements of the federal agency requiring furniture design. In furniture systems projects, the successful vendor is responsible for converting the generic space plans and prototypicals of the requesting agency to their specific contract product. The number of hours required to perform this service vary depending on the accuracy of the agency-provided space plans; however, the process used to procure the furniture puts services on a competitive basis maintaining very reasonable costs far below the normal cost.
