- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Engineering and Support Center (CEHNC) intends to award modifications to its Facility Repair and Renewal (FRR) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts which will increase each contracts c apacity and extend each contracts ordering period consistent with the terms identified within this announcement. The FRR program requirements are currently executed via firm fixed price and/or time and materials task orders which are placed against five ( 5) ID/IQ contracts in order to provide quick response for facility repair, renovation, conversion, alteration, additions, construction, equipment procurement / installation, and maintenance services on installed equipment/systems at Government installation s and facilities. All current contract awards were made under full and open competition procedures. One (1) of the five (5) contracts was awarded in fiscal year 2002 and the remaining four (4) contracts were awarded in fiscal year 2003. The ordering per iod for these contracts will expire in the next 6-9 months. As a result, CEHNC is developing its acquisition strategy and conducting pre-award functions for the follow-on FRR acquisitions, under NAICS code 236220. The solicitation(s) for the follow-on ac quisitions are anticipated to be released by Summer 2007 and the awards made in Spring 2008. Due to the lapse in coverage, it is necessary that the current contracts be extended to compensate for the period in which there would have been no contract cover age. Therefore, it is the Governments intention to modify the current FRR ID/IQ contracts to extend the ordering period by six (6) months with an additional six (6) month option period. Once the follow-on acquisitions are awarded, ordering against the c urrent contracts will cease. The Government will not exercise the additional six (6) month option should the follow-on acquisitions be awarded prior to the period in which the additional six (6) month option would be exercised. The programmatic capacity established at time of award of the current contracts was established at $355 million over a total possible five (5) year ordering period (one (1) base year and four (4) one-year option periods). This capacity was established pri or to the award of the contracts based on an analysis of the type of work required, anticipated workload, effects on competition, the capability of small businesses to compete for the required work, and upon historical FRR contract/program data. Due to u nforeseen hurricane response requirements, the FRR capacity was prematurely expended. As a result, it is necessary that the contracts be modified to allow for additional capacity to cover the extended ordering period. Based upon future anticipated requir ements and taking into consideration the predicted upcoming severe hurricane season, it is necessary that the Government modify the current contracts to increase the capacity of each contract by $20 million. The Government reserves the right to unilateral ly modify the capacity of each contract award, within the Governments sound discretion, in order to adjust for changes in performance capabilities. Upon award of the follow-on acquisitions, new task orders will not be placed against the current contracts despite any remaining capacity. The current contracts which the Government intends to modify consistent with the terms identified within this announcement are as follows: DACA87-02-D-0035 (BMAR and Associates), DACA87-03-D-0004 (RCI, Inc., 8(a) Small Business), DACA87-03-D-0005 (Global Engineering & Construction LLC, Small Business), DACA87-03-D-0006 (Vanguard Contractors LLC), and DACA87-03-D-0007 (Ameresco Solutions, Inc.). The original basic contract Scope of Work for each contract award will remain unchanged. The Government intends to award the modifications to these contracts consistent with the terms identified within this announcement upon the basis of the authority pro vided in 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) and implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy. Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agencys requirements would result given any other action due to current circumstances. Due to the unique prior FRR experience and involvement of the current contractors and the anticipated recurring need for facility repairs and renovations, the actions proposed within this announcement are justified. The Government will support the proposed a ctions by written justifications and obtain appropriate approval prior to proceeding. The Government will synopsize the contract modifications after award. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all capability statements received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Capab ility Statements submitted should demonstrate the offerors experience and expertise to provide the services identified above within the time frame required and without substantial duplication of cost to the Government. The statement shall include pricing information which includes profit rate, overhead rate, G&A rate, project management and support personnel rates; business size; ability to self-perform work; layers of subcontracting and associated mark-ups; and any other information indicating a legitimat e ability to meet these specific requirements. Statements should not exceed 5 pages in length. Statements and/or written inquiries may be directed to Ms. Donna Parker via email at Donna.L.Parker@hnd01.usace.army.mil or Ms. Glenda Humphrey via email at Gl enda.C.Humphrey@hnd01.usace.army.mil.
