Only Regions 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are authorized to utilize these IDIQ contracts. This acquisition will result in multiple contract awards divided across each state. General Contractors (GC) will be eligible to submit for more than one (1) state, but no more than three (3) states. Services will include, but are not limited to: interior and exterior building renovations; heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, to include controls; electrical; mechanical; plumbing; fire suppression; fire and security systems; communications; site-work; millwork; landscaping; fencing; masonry; concrete; asphalt paving; storm drainage; asbestos and lead abatement; mold and limited soil remediation, ancillary design and other related work. All work to be performed under the awarded IDIQ contracts will be in accordance with individual task order requirements, including specifications and drawings provided for each project. It is anticipated that multiple contract awards will be made as a result of this procurement. The contract will be for one base year, with four (4), one-year options that may be exercised at the sole discretion of the Government. Once an IDIQ contract is awarded, task orders will be issued for specific projects. Projects may occur on tribal or tribal reservation land and require Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance (TERO) compliance. This procurement action is being solicited as a small business cascading set-aside. Task order awards resulting from this procurement action will be solicited using the following cascading set-aside order of preference: 1) In accordance with FAR Subpart 19.13, award will be made on a competitive basis first to responsible, eligible HUBZone small business concerns that submits a fair and reasonable price. (Refer to Section I, Clause 1.2, 52.219-3, Notice of Total HUBZone Set-Aside. This clause is applicable only to this tier of the solicitation, not the solicitation in its entirety. 2) If the price from the HUBZone is not considered to be fair and reasonable, award consideration will be made in accordance with FAR Subpart 19.14, to a responsible, eligible Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. (Refer to Section I, Clause 1.2, 52.219-27, Notice of Total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside; and 3) If a fair and reasonable price cannot be obtained from either a HUBZone small business concern or a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, consideration will be to make award in accordance with FAR Subpart 19.5, to a responsible small business concerns that submits a fair and reasonable price. (Refer to Section I, Clause 1.2, 52.219-6, Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside. For purposes of determining a fair and reasonable price, a 10% factor will be used. For example, if a Service-disabled Veteran-owned Business and a Small Business submit a lower overall quote but the difference is 10% or less compared to a HUB Zone Business, then the HUB Zone Business would be awarded the contract. To be awarded the contract, the Small Business would have to be more than 10% less than both the HUB Zone and Service-disabled Veteran-owned Business. These contracts are for the execution of a broad range of maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, demolition, and minor construction (non-complex) and design. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes under the IDIQs will include the following codes: Subsector 236 - Construction of Buildings (size standard $39.5 million); Subsector 237 - Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (size standards $39.5 million), Non-Complex New Construction i.e., but not limited to garages, driveways, porches, fencing, etc.; Subsector 238 - Specialty Trade Contractors (size standards $16.5 million); and as required Architectural Services (NAICS code 541310 - size standard $7.5 million), Landscape Architectural Services (NAICS code 541320 - $8.0 million), and Engineering Services (NAICS code 541330 = $16.5 million). It is expected there will be a guaranteed minimum of $500.00 for the life of the contract. The maximum ordering limitation per contract per year will be $4,000,000.00. A bid bond will not be required with offer submissions, however, a performance and payment bonding will be required at the task order level when applicable. As such, each offeror may be asked to provide a signed letter from their bonding company, which shows the maximum amount the firm can be bonded per project, and the firm's maximum aggregate bonding capability as part of the proposal submission.
