- Description
- Fiscal Year 2024 Updated�Prequalification of Sources List For American River Common Features (ARCF) 2016,�Sacramento River and American River Erosion Construction Contracts For the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District The attached Updated PSL will be available for use while other acquisitions are underway for similar requirements. The PSL will be reviewed annually to ensure a legitimate need exists. Presently, the Government anticipates one (1) Sacramento River project and one (1) American River projects in the next year. �The PSL will be used as a vehicle to solicit several stand-alone �C� type construction contracts where the high-end of any single contract is not expected to exceed $100M at this time. This, however, does not preclude the Government from soliciting and awarding a contract in excess of this amount if determined to be in the Government�s best interest. �After the PSL is established, the Government intends to proceed by issuing solicitations using FAR Part 14 procedures (i.e., Invitation for Bid (IFB)). However, the Government reserves the right to issue solicitations using FAR Part 15 (i.e., Contracting by Negotiation (i.e., Best Value using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable up to and potentially including Trade-Off)) when determined to be in the Government�s best interest. The SPK projects that are likely to be constructed under stand-alone contracts that will be advertised to the firms on the PSL for levee improvement bank protection/bank stabilization construction within the Sacramento Valley with a particular focus on levee improvements on the Sacramento and American Rivers. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for procurements offered to firms on the Prequalified Sources list is 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Construction, which has a small business size standard of $45.0M. Bonding Requirements: Pursuant to the Miller Act, Performance and Payment bonds shall be provided for each project awarded under the PSL. Notice to Proceed (NTP), will not be issued until after the successful bidder or offeror provides sufficient bonding to cover the work required as communicated under the project solicitation. Solicitation Process: 1.� The Government will provide all of the firms on the Prequalified Sources List notification of its intent to advertise a requirement via a Presolicitation Notice. The purpose of this notice is twofold. In addition to signaling the Government�s intent to advertise a requirement, this notice will also be used for subcontracting opportunities. The notification will include a brief summary of the requirement, and a request for each firm to provide the Government with a positive or negative statement of interest in proposing on the project. 2.� The firms will be provided a closing date by which they must respond positively or negatively to their interest in competing on the specific project. In addition to indicating an interest in the project, small businesses on the Prequalified Sources List must also provide proof of sufficient bonding capacity. If the solicitation is issued as a small business set-aside (see para. 3 below), then proof of bonding capacity will have been used to demonstrate that the small business concern can responsibly compete. 3.� After the specified closing date for receipt of interest, the Government will consider whether the �rule of two� is met per FAR 19.502-2(b) to determine if the project must be set aside for the small businesses on the list. If the �rule of two� is met, then an IFB solicitation will be issued and if proceeding as a small business set-aside, only prequalified small businesses would be eligible for a contract award. 4.�Per FAR 36.103(a), Contracting Officers shall use sealed bid procedures for a construction contract if the conditions in 6.401(a) apply. Therefore, the Government will consider if: � � a.� Time permits the solicitation, submission, and evaluation of sealed bids; � � b.� The award will be made on the basis of price and other price-related factors; � � c.��It is not necessary to conduct discussions with the responding offerors about their bids; � � d.��There is a reasonable expectation of receiving more than one sealed bid. 5.� SPK expects that these conditions will be met for most, if not all, contract actions contemplated for use with the PSL. However, in the event that one of these conditions is not met; or if it is determined to be in the Government�s best interest to consider entering into discussions with offerors, then the Government reserves the right to issue Requests for Proposals (RFP) and follow procedures prescribed in FAR Part 15. 6.� As it is expected that most if not all contemplated projects will proceed as FAR Part 14 acquisitions, the date of bid opening will generally be 30 days after issuance of an IFB. 7.� The bid results will be made available to all bidders (i.e., those contractors on the PSL that actually submitted a bid � but not those contractors on the PSL that did not bid). 8.� Upon identification of the apparent-low bid, the bid will be reviewed for conformity to the solicitation requirements (i.e., responsiveness) and contractor responsibility must be considered. 9.� After an affirmative determination of contractor responsibility is made per FAR 9.104, the Government will proceed with contract award.
