- CONTRACT INFORMATION: This contract is being procured in accordance with the Brooks A-E Act (PL 92-582) as implemented in FAR Subpart 36.6. Firms will be selected for negotiations based on demonstrated competence and qualifications for the required work. The services will consist of construction and engineering services to support the development of various projects within or assigned to the Huntington District, US Army Corps of Engineers, Great Lakes and Ohio River Division and work for others through the Department of Energy (DOE). Up to two indefinite delivery contracts will be negotiated and awarded with a base year and four option years. The contract amount will not exceed $12,000,000.00 over the life of the contract. Work will be issued by negotiated firm-fixed price task orders. The first contract is anticipated to be awarded in March 2010. One of the two contracts will be awarded initially. The remaining contract may be awarded within 12 months depending on workload and contracting requirements. The remaining contract, if awarded, will also have a base period not to exceed one year with up to four additional option periods not to exceed one year each. The criteria to be used in allocating task orders among the contracts will be based on the following: (1) contract minimums - task orders will be distributed to assure the guaranteed minimums are met; (2) past performance on previous task orders - the quality and timeliness of work delivered on prior jobs under the current contract; (3) current capacity to accomplish the task order in the required time; (4) unique specialized experience; and (5) equitable distribution of work among the contractors. This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a large business is selected for this contract, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of the work it intends to subcontract.
