- Sources Sought/Request for Information-Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Design-Bid-Build (D-B-B) Construction and Design-Build (D-B) Construction, Japan. This is a market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. This is not a solicitation for proposals. The Government will not pay for any information provided as a result of this market survey. The U.S. Army Engineer District-Japan is planning to solicit a MATOC for D-B-B and D-B construction to suppo rt U.S. Government facilities in Mainland Japan (excluding Hokkaido) and a separate MATOC for the same services in Okinawa. ANY SOLICITATIONS PURSUED ARE INTENDED FOR LOCAL SOURCES ONLY. LOCAL SOURCES ARE THOSE SOURCES NORMALLY RESIDENT AND LICENSED TO C ONDUCT BUSINESS IN JAPAN. A MATOC is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract for construction services with multiple awardees. Actual work is awarded through the issuance of task orders. Multiple awardees generally compete with each other f or task orders. There are some exceptions to this rule, whereby competition may be reduced or task orders are issued non-competitively to one contract holder. The Government anticipates award of up to three contracts under each MATOC to experienced sourc es capable of performing a wide range of D-B-B and D-B construction projects including, but not limited to: grading, water lines, sewer lines, paving/repaving roadways, painting, roofing, renovation of interiors of existing buildings, new building constru ction, structural construction, Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems and components, refrigeration systems, fire suppression systems, fuel pipeline and storage systems, power and services supplies, distribution and utilization systems (including lighting), power generators and Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS), public address systems, fire alarm systems, telephone systems, asbestos, lead based paint, and petroleum-contaminated material abatement and disposal. Work historically (within the last two years) performed under the Mainland Japan MATOC generally fall under the category of maintenance and repair. Very few projects are termed new construction or are considered construction as defined by the type of work performed. Although the scope of work for these repair/maintenance projects may typically vary from year to year, specific types of work executed on Mainland Japan included: 32,400,000 YEN to replace domestic water distribution systems for multiple buildings - included replacem ent of underground primary water laterals up to existing fixtures in multiple-story facilities, demolition and capping of existing water lines, trenching, and pipe/valve installation; 64,800,000 YEN to replace an existing rooftop hospital cooling tower; 3 2,400,000 YEN to replace a medical clinic HVAC system; 21,600,000 YEN to repair and upgrade existing family housing playgrounds; 756,000,000 YEN to construct an unsheltered site (hardstands and steel structures) in order to situate various mechanical/elect rical equipment and administration and maintenance facilities - included earth berm construction, site and utility work, security shelters, road work and area lighting; 972,000,000 YEN to repair and upgrade multiple transient lodging facilities to current standards included interior renovations to living areas, baths, kitchenettes, various common use areas, and exterior work including roof and HVAC replacement, fire protection system upgrade, and security lighting installation; 140,000,000 YEN to construc t a single story administration/operational facility with associated site work (fencing, driveway, concrete pads); and 21,600,000 YEN to replace existing fluorescent ceiling mounted lighting fixtures in various hospital areas as an energy savings initiativ e. Work was performed on various U.S. Military Installations including Camp Zama, Yokota Air Base, Misawa Air Base, and Yokosuka Naval Air Base. Historical da ta for the Okinawa MATOC include various categories of work with the following ranges: 25,700,000 196,000,000 YEN for boilers, tanks, etc.; 2,500,000 130,000,000 YEN for HVAC repairs and installation; 4,500,000 96,900,000 YEN for civil works; 19,000 ,000 34,700,000 YEN for asbestos/lead paint abatement; 14,800,000 701,000,000 YEN for other new construction (multi-discipline); and 2,000,000 342,000,000 YEN for other maintenance/repair/renovation (multi-discipline). Each MATOC will consist of a on e-year base period and three (3) one-year option periods. The total maximum amount the Government will order under all three contracts combined is the not-to-exceed-amount of 1,620,000,000 Japanese YEN per period. The guaranteed minimum amount for each c ontracts base period and each option period exercised is 540,000 Japanese YEN. A performance bond will be required for individual task orders that are over the Japanese YEN equivalent of $100,000. Therefore, the Government intends to require contractors to demonstrate bonding capacity of 1,620,000,000 Japanese YEN. The minimum task order amount is 2,700,000 Japanese YEN. The maximum task order amount is 810,000,000 Japanese YEN. Task orders issued under these contracts will be D-B-B or D-B in nature. For D-B-B task orders, the Government will provide the contractor with full design. For D-B task orders, contractor may be required to produce engineering designs ranging from shop-drawings to full designs in accordance with Unified Facilities Guide Spec ifications (UFGS) depending on the complexity of the task order. The Government will provide the contractor with a project scope varying from a general scope of work with no drawings to a complete statement of work with design up to 90 percent. Contracto r designs will be conducted after award of a task order in accordance with both U.S. and Japanese design standards. Task order award will generally be based on any one, or combination of the following criteria, with weights to be stated in each task order request for proposal: A. Proposed price; B. Proposed schedule; C. Proposed technical details/solution; D. Past performance; and E. Innovation proposed in design.
