Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-53. It is the contractor's responsibility to be familiar with applicable clauses and provisions. Clauses and provisions can be found at http://www.acquisition.gov/far. The solicitation number is P11PS23410, and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation. The NAICS code is 531190 with an associated small business size standard of $7 million. This solicitation is a 100% total small business set-aside and will result in award of a single firm-fixed price contract for one base year plus four option years to the vendor determined to be responsive and responsible. The Government will consider past performance in determining responsibility. DESCRIPTION: The National Park Service, Olympic National Park, has a requirement to board approximately 15 head to 20 head of mules during fall/winter months through early spring, because the park does not have adequate facilities to provide shelter and caretaker year-round. STATEMENT OF WORK: (1) At least 30 acres of dry pasture and shelter from the weather. Shelter shall consist of heavy tree cover and/or barn, or other structure adequate to provide covered protection; (2) A constant source of clean water. (3) An adequate supply of stored hay to feed 16 mules during times when pasture must be supplemented such as inclement weather or temperature; (4) Make daily welfare checks for each mule and immediately notify the COR in the event of injuries, accidents or health issues; (5) Fencing with secure gates so that third parties cannot gain access through a fence or gate, protecting the park-owned mules from being exposed to outside stock; and (6) Contractor shall be located within hour drive of Port Angeles. The reason for the close proximity to Port Angeles is to ensure that the Olympic National Park trail crew staff can make routine trips to the contractor's land for attending to the mules, such as trimming feet, responding to reported illness or injury, and/or addressing any other problems the contractor has notified the COR about, as well as ensure mules are being cared for in the manner described above with regards to food, water, and general welfare. PRICE SCHEDULE. Prices for the Base Year and Four Option Years shall be negotiated as firm-fixed prices at time of award. The Government guarantees boarding of all park-owned mules, which may vary from 15 head to 20 head year to year. Performance period begins the date mules are delivered. The performance period is guaranteed for 150 days. Performance period is typically from mid to late October through March each year. OPTION: The Government, at its option, may extend the boarding period an additional 10 to 15 calendar days at the same rate of compensation per mule per day as awarded. If the boarding period exceeds 150 days the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) may extend the boarding period with written notice to the contractor or contracting officer within 3 days, either before or after, the extension. The actual price paid shall be reflected for the actual number of mules boarded. A significant number of issues found during inspections shall constitute a reasonable basis for the Government not exercising an option year.
