A multiple schedule Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Type (IDIQ) contract is anticipated. a.

Multiple awards are anticipated for Schedule A with two or more contract awards set-aside under the authority of Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C 637(a) for qualified 8(a) cont ractors.

METHOD OF SELECTION OF AWARDEES: For Schedules A and B described above, THE ALASKA DISTRICT CORPS OF ENGINEERS plans to select from 8(a), and large and small offerors (Schedule A only) using the best-value source selection method. The planned factor s for selection of awardees include the following non-price factors, listed in descending order of importance for both the Construction and Design team members (to include credentials of proposed design team members): Past performance, key personnel, expe rience. Other factors to be considered are organization and management, and small-business subcontracting plan where applicable. Price/cost shall be evaluated using proposed management personnel and key personnel hourly rates, direct overhead rate applic able to management and key personnel, labor burdens for tradesmen exclusive of those required by the applicable Davis-Bacon rates and General & Administrative overhead rate for the base period and each optional period. Costs will be evaluated for realism a nd affordability by comparing to the Independent Government Estimate and the costs of the other offerors. When selecting an awardee for a contract under either schedule, the price/cost element of the proposal is planned to be less important than the combi ned non-price factors in determining the best value to the Government. The offers that present the best value to the Government non-price factors and price/cost considered shall receive an award using the Best-Value Source Selection method. 5.
