- Description
- The Defense Commissary Agency, Design and Construction Division (DeCA/CIED) will implement a follow-on Streamlined Construction Improvement Program (SCIP II) to optimize construction delivery of proposed projects in fiscal years (FY) 2007 thru 2016. For the purposes of this acquisition, the NAICS Code is 236220. The Business Size standard is $31,000,000. The primary tool to implement SCIP II will be award of approximately ten (10) multiple-award, firm, fixed-price, Indefinite Delivery /Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The contracts will be awarded in two categories. One category will cover Larger-Value National Contracts with estimated project values over $7.5 Million and another will cover Lower-Value National contracts with estimated project values under $7.5 Million. Approximately five contracts will be awarded in each category. The contracts will consist of a one (1) year basic period with nine (1) one year options. At this time, the magnitude of the five-year program consists of approximately 40 projects estimated over $7.5 Million and 90 projects estimated at below $7.5 Million. Since the requirements are indefinite, actual program dynamics may increase or decrease the number of projects over the life of the contract; however, the program maximum for all contracts combined shall not exceed $1 billion. The contract scope shall include design/build and traditional design/bid/build construction of new commissary facilities, addition/alteration (ADAL) to existing commissaries, new and ADAL to Central Distribution Centers & Retail Centers (Commissaries & Exchanges), in the United States to include Hawaii, and Alaska, and Guam and Puerto Rico, and other commissary locations where permitted by Host Nation agreements. Other alternative methods of project delivery may be utilized after award. The work will consist of providing all facility construction and equipment, including building equipment and operational equipment. Particular emphasis is placed on refrigeration and HVAC systems in these facilities. The abatement of hazardous materials will be a contract requirement on some projects, when such substances are present. Subject acquisition will include a partial 8(a) set-aside for the Lower Valued National Contracts; the remainder will be solicited unrestricted. In preparation for this acquisition, the government conducted a multi-step advisory process in accordance with the provisions of FAR Part 15.202, Advisory Multi-Step Process. After evaluation of initial responses, the government identified potential respondents considered to be viable competitors. Notwithstanding this presolicitation activity and advice provided by the government to potential competitors, the acquisition is now open to all offerors. The government anticipates it will issue the final Request for Proposals for this acquisition on or about August 17, 2006. Any questions and requests to be included on the distribution of the final Request for Proposal should be sent to the Contracting Officer, Mrs. Alice Allen, at alice.allen@randolph.af.mil not later than August 16, 2006. CBD Note 26 applies. Solicitation The government intends to issue a Request for Proposals for Lower-Value National Contracts and for Larger-Value National Contracts on or about 17 August 2006, in accordance with FAR Part 15. Closing date for receipt of offers will be approximately 29 Sep 2006. In the Government?s efforts to promote competition, two separate categories have been established for Lower-Value National projects estimated less than $7.5 Million and Larger-Valued National projects greater than $7.5 Million. Approximately five (5) basic contracts will be awarded per category for a total of approximately ten (10) separate contracts being awarded. Of the approximately five (5) contracts anticipated to be awarded under the Lower-Valued National Contracts, one (1) to two (2) may be awarded under 8(a) set-aside procedures with the remaining contracts awarded via unrestricted competition. All of the approximately five (5) Large-Value National Contracts will be awarded via unrestricted full and open competition. Offerors must be capable of performing at all DeCA facilities within the national category to which they propose. Be advised, however, that for the purposes of price evaluation, offerors will also be required to prepare a complete, firm, fixed-price offer on a sample task project for each category requested for consideration. Additionally, the Government?s intent is to award each sample task; therefore, offerors must have the bonding capacity in aggregate of the sample tasks proposed. Each Indefinite Quantity, Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract awarded will include a guaranteed minimum of $5,000 for the Lower-Value National Contracts. Individual task orders will range from a nominal $100,000 to an estimated $7.5 Million. The Large-Value National Contract task orders start at an estimated $7.5 Million and have the nominal upper limits for task orders indicated at $100 Million. The procurement will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15 and the Air Force Procedures for Source Selection, AFFARS Subpart 5315.3 and the Mandatory Procedures in MP5315.3. Proposals will be partially based on the sample task projected identified to the offerors for each category. The proposed sample task for the Lower-Value National category is for construction of an architectural and refrigeration upgrade to the commissary at Camp Pendleton, CA, including complete replacement of all product refrigeration systems, including storage and display equipment, upgrade of sales area lighting, and reconfiguration of sales area HVAC systems. The estimated price range for this project is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The proposed sample task order for the Large-Value National category is to replace commissary and exchange facilities that were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, August 2005. The estimated price range for this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. Special Congressional appropriations are being set aside to accomplish this work. This urgent and compelling project provides for design-build construction of a new retail shopping mall at Keesler AFB, MS to replace facilities damaged by Hurricane Katrina. The new facility includes a new 165,200 SF exchange shopping mall complete with main exchange, food court, vendor mall, and garden sales and a 4,200 SF pharmacy with drive up windows. The new facility also contains a new 97,000 SF full service commissary with a deli-bakery. The project will provide 1,430 new parking spaces with associated vehicular traffic circulation roads, truck receiving areas, patron walkways, and site utilities and landscaping. The project also includes phased demolition of the damaged facilities including the existing 151,000 SF exchange including the existing 4,200 SF pharmacy, the existing 97,000 SF commissary, and the 21,000 SF temporary commissary (former community club) to provide space for the new construction to take place. The project will be offered for proposals at a conceptual design stage (approximately 30 percent designed) and the offerors will be required to propose on complete, turnkey, design-build construction of the required facilities. The work will consist of providing all facility design, construction and equipment, including building equipment and operational equipment. Particular emphasis is placed on refrigeration and HVAC systems in these facilities. Subject to the availability of funds, it is the intention of the government to award the sample task projects to the best value offeror in each category as the first Task Order under the basic contracts. Unless specifically set-aside to meet 8(a) goals and objectives, or as provided in one of the exceptions listed in FAR Part 15.505, subsequent Task Order (TO) awards will be competed using the Fair Opportunity Clause provisions of FAR Part 16.505(b). The selection of individual project contractors for each TO will be determined by a government approved selection clause that will be incorporated into each basic IDIQ contract. The TO selection clause will include the criteria that will form the basis for contractor selection (e.g. past performance, schedule, capacity, price, achievement, or small business subcontracting goals, contractor and/or contractor and architect-engineer project team capabilities, technical proposals and other factors as may be defined). Selection for Task Orders may also include a multi-phased approach where the contractors selected under this acquisition in the applicable category, are initially considered on price considerations (rough estimates) and other considerations as appropriate for the task order such as proposed approach, opportunities for economy and efficiency, past performance, schedule considerations, architect-engineer team capabilities, and other factors as may be defined. After preliminary evaluation, the contractors most likely to submit highest value solutions may be selected for additional sessions with the government to increase their understanding of the requirements, provide suggestions for refining requirements and provide recommendations for risk reduction, among other considerations, prior to submitting final proposals. The government is using this notice to also inform of its intent to use Non-government advisors, as necessary, to provide their expertise in an advisory role in the Request for Proposal preparation and issuance thereof and to provide advisory support in the source selection evaluation of proposals. The contractor being utilized is Management Consulting Inc.
