The use of the MATOC will provide the Government with a construction product delivery method that can accommodate quick and straight-forward projects, as well as some small but complex projects, and can help minimize design effort and related overhead expenditures, as well as handle compressed schedules. The Government will evaluate and select, for contract award, two (2) or more qualified Offerors, whose Proposals are determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with consideration given to both the technical evaluation factors and price. Task Orders will primarily address new construction, design-build or design-bid-build, general building renovation, road and airfield pavement repair, utility work to include water, sewer, electrical, and gas, and general environmental work including, but not limited to, incidental minor construction, excavation, plumbing, demolition, electrical, structural, mechanical, concrete work, and environmental remedial work. Project work may also include Force Protection type projects. This solicitation will cover the geographical area of Italy, which includes all U. S. Government Facilities throughout Italy. In accordance with FAR 36.3, Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures, a two-phase source selection process will be used to evaluate the contractors for award. Those contractors who are considered most qualified during Phase I (not to exceed five (5) contractors) will be requested to submit the proposal requirements for Phase II. Specific evaluation criteria will be provided in the solicitation documents. The estimated cost of the MATOC is not-to-exceed US$49,999,995.00 for the life of the contract, which will consist of one (1) base year period and four (4) one(1)-year option periods. The Contract will end upon completion of the five (5) one (1) year periods (if all options are exercised) or upon attainment of the US$49,999,995.00 capacity. Individual projects issued under the MATOC will contain their own estimated values. There will be no limits on the number of task orders awarded/issued in any year. The minimum guarantee shall be $5,000.00. This amount shall cover the duration of the entire contract (Base Period and Option Periods).
