Special competencies will be required for any work involving membrane roofing, asbestos abatement, PCB removal and/or elevator work. The Government will award up to 5 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts under this solicitation. Each award will be for one year. There will also be four additional one year options. The award of a firm-fixed price task order will result from Phase II of this solicitation. It is anticipated that future projects will be awarded on a task order basis to the one contractor (of the five awardees) who offers the lowest lump sum price. This is a competitive negotiated acquisition. Proposals will be evaluated using a Two-Phase process. Phase I will be technical evaluations; Phase II will be f or pricing. The Government intends to use the "greatest value concept" in makin g selections. The "greatest value concept" is a method of evaluating price and other related factors specified in the solicitation, with the goal being to sele ct the proposal that offers the greatest value to the Government in terms of performance and other factors. Phase I, Request for Technical Proposal (RFTP), contains Construction Contract Clauses, Labor Standards, Solicitation Provisions, Proposal Submittal Requirements and Evaluation Factors. This RFTP will be issued on or about 01/10/97. All requests for the RFTP must be in writing. There will be a Pre-Proposal Conference on or about 01/20/97. Proposals shall be received in this office on or about 02/10/97. Specific date and time shall be specifie d in the RFTP. Only one proposal may be submitted by each offeror. There will be a short list of technically qualified contractors published in the CBD on or about 03/14/97. Offerors shouldsubmit proposals that are acceptable without add itional explanation of information, as the Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal's acceptability solely on the basis of the initial pro posal submitted. The Government may proceed to Phase II without discussion. Ho wever, the Government may request additional information from offerors that it considers having a reasonable chance of being selected to participate in Phase II and may discuss proposals with the offerors. The Government will evaluate Phase I submissions to establish those within a "competitive range". Only those fir ms within the competitive range will be invited by the Government to provide Phase II submissions, consisting of pricing (a lump sum price) and any special requirements defined in the specifications. Two factors will be considered: a technical evaluation factor and price. The elements that make up the technical evaluation factor, in order of importance, are: (1) Experience and Past Performance of the Firm, (2) Qualifications and Key Personnel, and (3) Management and Technical Approach. The price factor is not as important as the technical evaluation factor. As proposals become more equal in technical merits, price becomes more important. Phase II, Specifications (Bidding Documents) will be available from the General Services Administration at no cost. Technical questions should be directed to the Contracting Officer, Michael J. Vrobel, at (202) 708-7853, extension 412. The proposed procurement listed herein is set aside for small business. (0355)
