Donald, Code 210.1 (904) 542-0087 through 92, ext. 256 E-MAIL: kdonald_at_ pwcoa@jaxmail.navy.mil, kdonald_at_pwcoa@jaxmail.navy.mil. This procurement is for one solicitation resulting in the award of three Indefinite Delivery Construction Contracts to the responsible proposers whose proposals, conforming to the RFP, will be most advantageous to the Government resulting in the Best Value, cost or price and other factors considered. The Government reserves the right to award one contract convering only the project identified in the RFP if the minimum guarantee of funds are not identified for three awards. The work is for renovarion, alteration, and repairs and minor construction at various locations including but not limited to Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi. Projects assigned to these IQ contracts will use the Solution Order Concept (SOC) approach to scope and price the work. After award of the initial contract to the three contractors, they will compete for delivery orders based on either best value or low price technically acceptable to the Government through Government/Contractor Team Cooperative scoping of the work. The work will be renovation and repair of facilities, including but not limited to barracks, administrative and personnel facilities with some minor construction and incidental alteration/construction work. Each contract will be for one year with two one-year options. The total 3 years (inclusive of options) estimated construction cost for all three IQ contracts is $15 million. Construction schedules will be determined for each project at the issuance of each delivery order. The three best value contractors will be selected for the award of either the seed project or the award of one of the two contracts with a minimum guarantee. The first IQ construction contract of the three will be awarded with a firm-fixed price, 100% design and the seed project. The initial award will be based on technical factors including as a minimum (1) Experience, (2) Past Performance, and (3) Technical Approach. As part of the pricing, the Contractors will be required to participate with the Government if requested an on-site scope meeting/pre-proposal conference for the proposed project. The minimum guarantee will be met for the first of the three IQ contracts when this proposed project is awarded. The second N68931-97-R-0028 and third N68931-97-R-0029 will specify a minimum guarantee and will be awarded based on the same evaluation criterial as the first selection. All three contractors will competitively bid/propose on subsequent task orders. These subsequent projects will be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design or may provide for full plans and specifications. They will be scoped by the Government/Contractor team and may not have traditional plans and specifications but may include sketches, and requests for catalog cuts or other submittals. The salient requirements of the Task Order will be scoped by the Government/Contractor team in order to develop a mutually agreed upon Statement of Work. Award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements of each Task Order. The awarded Task Order will be a performanced scoped, firm-fixed price task with a specific completion date. Should the second and third IQ Contractor be unable to competitively secure a task order to meet the minimum guarantee, award factors may be modified in order to ensure each participating contract is awarded Task Orders meeting the minimum guarantee. All three contractors will be required to participate responsibly in walk throughs and submit proposals. Failure to participate responsibly in walk throughs and submit proposals on Task Orders may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract for an additional year. Only the three selected Contracts will be permitted to propose on Task Orders. Proposals from other contractors will not be accepted. A minimum of two proposals will satisfy the competitive requirements of SOC and preclude the necessity of soliciting for a replacement contractor if for any reason on of the contracts is terminated or one of the proposers is not able to participate in the process. Failure to participate responsibly in the task order process may result in forfeiture of the minimum guarantee amount.
