The airfield will remain in operation during the work and outages shall be held to a minimum. The work includes providing extensive repairs to the existing airfield lighting systems controls, replacement of the existing airfield lighting vault in a new location, and rerouting of airfield lighting circuits to the new location. The work will include vault upgrades, special voltage equipment and distribution, construction of underground distribution systems and miscellaneous incidental work. The new lighting vault will be required to meet seismic requirements, DOD standards, Base Architectural Standards, all necessary utilities, fire detection/alarm, HVAC, emergency generator and support equipment, site improvements, and pavements. The airfield lighting circuits rework includes extension of FAA control tower circuits, rerouting of airfield lighting circuits, and power circuits to the new location of the lighting vault. Project also includes the complete demolition of the existing lighting vault-2,324sf with LBP, asbestos abatement, and lighting control equipment disposal, and restoration of disturbed areas. The airfield will remain in operation during construction, which will require extensive coordination with airfield operations personnel. The Contractor will be required to complete work quickly, often during nights and weekends, shifting construction work location from one area to another to accommodate airfield operations. The Contractor will be required to leave major systems in operation at the end of every workday. The estimated value is between $4,140,000 and $4,600,000. The estimated days for contract completion are 425 calendar days from date of contract award. Proposals will be evaluated using source selection procedures that will result in award of a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible proposer whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is the BEST VALUE to the Government, price and technical factors considered. Utilizing a single-phase approach, the Government requires contractors to submit a price and technical proposal. Each proposal shall contain the offerors best technical proposal and best price. Award will be made to the offeror whose technical and price proposal offers the best overall value to the Government, without discussion of such offers. The technical proposal is equal to the price proposal and will be evaluated as set forth below. Proposals shall include sufficient detailed information to allow complete evaluation. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proof of acceptability rests with the offeror. Proposers will be evaluated on Technical Factors as follows: Factor A--Past Performance with Element 1-Design Team; Element 2?Construction Team; Factor B--Small Business Subcontracting Plan; Factor C--Technical Qualifications with Element 1?Design Team; Element 2?Construction Team; Factor D--Management Approach. PROPOSERS ARE ADVISED THAT THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO AWARD THIS CONTRACT WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors should not assume they would be contacted or afforded an opportunity to qualify, discuss, or revise their proposals. However, the Government reserves the right to clarify certain aspects of proposals or conduct discussions providing an opportunity for the offerors to revise their proposals. Firms submitting technical and price proposal will not be compensated for specifications. Large businesses competing for this project must comply with the FAR 52.219-9 Clause regarding the requirement for Subcontracting Plan on the part of the work that it intends to subcontract.

A firm that submits a plan with lesser goals must submit written rationale to support goals submitted. If award is not made on initial proposals, then a competitive range determination will be made for this solicitation which will be based on technical and price and include the most highly rated proposals unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency. For evaluation purposes only in determining the competitive range, the Government will calculate the total price proposal. After a competitive range determination is made and proposal revisions are received, a best value award decision will be made. If discussions are conducted, they will be conducted with each offeror in the competitive range. At the conclusion of discussions, each offeror will be given an opportunity to submit a proposal revision. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any or all offerors; to award the contract to other than the offeror submitting the lowest total price; or to award to other than the offeror submitting the highest technically rated or the lowest total price proposal; and to award to the offeror submitting the proposal determined by the Government to be the most advantageous BEST VALUE to the Government.
