This procurement is for one solicitation resulting in the award of three Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) 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 work is for new construction, renovation, alteration and repairs for Area of Responsibility (AOR) for NAVFACENGCOM, Southdiv Field Office, Charleston Area including Naval Weapons Station, Charleston, SC; Naval Hospital, Charleston, SC; Naval Base, Charleston, SC; Shortstay, Moncks Corner, SC; Charleston Air Force Base, Charleston, SC; Shaw Air Force Base, Sumter, SC; US Coast Guard, Charleston, SC; National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Charleston, SC and other locations within this AOR. Projects assigned to these IDIQ contracts will use the Solution Order Concept (SOC) approach to scope and price the work. After award of the initial contract to three contractors, they will compete for future task orders based on either best value or low price technically acceptable to the government through Government/Contractor Team cooperative scoping of the work. Only the three selected contractors will be permitted to compete on future task orders. Each contract will be for one base year with two, one year options. The total 3 year (Base Year and Two Option Years) estimated construction cost for all IDIQ contracts is $15,000,000.00. The minimum guarantee will be met for all three IDIQ contracts with the award of three seed projects. Each of the 3 selected IDQ contractors will be awarded one of the three seed projects. The initial award will be based on technical factors including (1) Experience (2) Past Performance (3) Technical Approach, & (4) Small Business Subcontracting Effort. All contracts will be awarded at the same time with selection based on the same criteria. Each contractor will submit only one technical proposal which addresses all items contained under each of the four (4) technical factors and one price proposal which includes pricing on all three seed projects. As part of the pricing, the Contractors may be required to participate with the Government in a pre-proposal conference for the proposed seed projects. One technical competitive range determination will be made and one price competitive range determination will be made for this solicitation. For evaluation purposes only, the Government will calculate the total price proposal as the sum of each of the three (3) seed projects. After this competitive range determination is made, a best value award decision will be made based on the individual seed project amount in the following order: 1. N62467-97-R-0765, Panel Replacement, Bldg. 1602, NS, Chasn, SC 2. N62467-97-R-0768, Panel Replacement, Bldg. 1603, NS, Chasn, SC 3. N62467-97-R-0769, Panel Replacement, Bldgs. 1620/1621, NS, Chasn, SC The successful proposer for N62467-97-R-0765 will not be considered for contracts N62467-97-R-0768 and N62467-97-R-0769. Similarly, the successful proposer for N62467-97-R-0768 will not be considered for N62467-97-R-0769. The award for all contracts will be made simultaneously. If discussions are required, they will be conducted with each proposer in the competitive range. Only proposals within the competitive range will be considered for award of any of the seed projects. The subsequent projects will be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design. The value of each task order is anticipated to be between $35,000 and $3,000,000. This range is for information purposes only and may vary. They will be scoped by the Government/Contractor team and may 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, however pricing will weigh heavily. The awarded task order will be a performance scoped, firm fixed price task with a specific completion date. All Contractors will be required to participate in all SOC on-site scoping meetings. Failure to participate responsibly in on-site scoping meeting and submit proposals on task orders may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract for an additional year to that contractor. Only the selected Contractors will be permitted to propose on the 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 a contract is terminated or one of the proposers is not able to participate in the process.
