Description

The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) is soliciting offers under Request for Quote (RFQ) Number VA786-16-Q-0545 to remove accumulated soil and spoils debris from a retired soil disposal site for the Willamette National Cemetery. This acquisition is 100% set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The NAICS Code is 561730; Size Standard is $7.5 Million. Offers received from concerns that are not SDVOSBs shall not be considered. SDVOSBs must be verified for ownership and control and listed in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) at https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov prior to the due date for proposals. (See Provision 852.219-10 VA Notice of Total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside.) The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, and equipment to perform services to remove accumulated soil and spoils debris from a retired soil disposal site near Columbarium II at the Willamette National Cemetery (WNC), located at 11800 SE Mt. Scott Boulevard, Portland, OR 97086. Services shall be performed in accordance with the VA, Federal, State, and Local Codes and Requirements. Work includes but is not limited to the removal and disposal of soil and buried vegetative debris mixed in with the soil. Contractor shall thoroughly examine specifications, site, and conditions under which the work shall be performed before submitting a proposal. AMOUNTS OF CEMETERY SPOILS TO BE REMOVED ARE ESTIMATED. The contract period of performance is from October 1, 2016 (or effective date of award of contract), through September 30, 2017, with four (4) one (1) year option periods to begin on the first day of the fiscal year, if exercised. PRE-BID SITE VISIT: Potential offerors are urged and expected to inspect and investigate the performance site by observation. Offerors are also urged to submit Requests for Information (RFI) and responses through the Contracting Office to satisfy their understanding of the work to be completed as well as all general, local, and technical conditions that may affect the cost and feasibility of the proposal. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after award. There is only one organized site visit: 09/22/2016 at 11:00am. (PST). If you are not able to be there, you may do a self-guided visit. There will be no Cemetery Personnel available at that time to show you around and you must call the COR to make sure he/she knows you will be there. Please do not ask Cemetery Personnel questions if you do a self-guided visit. Cemetery POC(s): Cemetery Director: George Allen Telephone: 503-273-5250 Email: George.Allen1@va.gov Contracting Officer's Representative (COR): Douglas E. Carson Telephone: 503-273-5205 Email: Douglas.Carson@va.gov The Government intends to award a single, firm-fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose offer is evaluated as the lowest-priced and technically acceptable (LPTA). The total price shall include all labor, travel expenses (if any), materials, overhead profit, insurance, and all other expenses necessary to deliver and install the required items. No additional sums will be payable on account of any escalations in the cost of materials, equipment, or labor, or because of the Contractor's failure to properly estimate or accurately predict the cost or difficulty of achieving the results required by this contract. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the LPTA offeror. The following factors listed in descending order of importance will be used to evaluate offers: (1) Price, (2) Technical Capability; and (3) Past Performance. Past Performance and Technical Capability when combined are not more important than Price. However, TECHNICAL CAPABILITY AND PAST PERFORMANCE MUST BOTH BE SATISFACTORY FOR THE OFFER TO BE CONSIDERED "TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE." SIMPLY HAVING THE LOWEST PRICED BID DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY CONSTITUTE GROUNDS FOR CONTRACT AWARD. Electronic solicitations will be available for download from Federal Business Opportunities http://www.FedBizOpps.gov on or around September 19, 2016. Responses to the solicitation are due by 4:00 p.m. (EST) on or about September 27, 2016. The question and answering period commences on September 19, 2016 and concludes on September 23, 2016 by 5:00 p.m. EST. Email questions to anthony.hawley@va.gov. Offerors are advised that they are responsible for obtaining amendments to the solicitation which will be available at FedBizOpps. All proposals must be submitted through the Department of Veterans Affairs - Electronic Management System (eCMS) Vendor Portal website in order to be considered for award. https://www.vendorportal.ecms.va.gov. Please go to the VA eCMS Vendor Portal website at https://www.vendorportal.ecms.va.gov to register. Once on the webpage, proceed to the Vendor Portal Login Section located on the far left side of the webpage and click on 'Request a user account' to register. In the event an Offeror is unable to submit a proposal through the Vendor Portal Domain prior to the proposal closing date, contact the VAAS helpdesk at 1-877-634-3739, or via email at VA.Acquisition.Systems@va.gov. Submission of proposals through email will not be accepted. Proposal transmission/uploads must be completed by the date/time specified. Late or incomplete Proposals will not be considered. No telephone requests will be accepted. Any questions should be sent via email to anthony.hawley@va.gov.
