Z -- INDEFINITE DELIVERY INDEFINITE QUANTITY CONSTRUCTION OCNTRACTS FOR RENOVATION, ALTERATION AND REPAIRS AT GREAT LAKES AND THEIR FIFTEEN STATE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY Comments are sought on a draft of an indefinite quantity construction solicitation for fifteen states in the Midwest. This request is for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation. The Governemnt will not pay for any costs incurred in preparing a response. This procurement is for one solicitation resulting in the award of three Indefinite Delivery Indefinte 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. After award of the initial contract to the three contractors, they will compete for task 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 routine renovation and repair of facilities including barracks, administative and personnel facilities, warehouses and other similar types of facilities with some minor construction and incidental alteration/construction work. Each contract will be for one base year with one option year. The total two year (base year and option year) estimated construction cost for all three IDIQ contracts is $15,000,000. Construction schedules will be determined for each project at the issuance of each task 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 of $100,000.00. Normally, all three Contractors will be required to participate in all project 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. The Navy wants comments, specifically, on the fifteen state area of responsibility and your ability/inability to support a fifteen state geographical area. The Navy projects that the predominance of the future work will be at the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois and immediate surrounding area and the Naval Weapon Surface Warfare Center, Crane Indiana and other smaller activities in adjacent states. The Navy is considering awarding two contract groupings, one for Great Lakes Naval Training Center and the states of IL, WI, MN, SD, ND, WY, CO, KS, NE, MO and IA and one for Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center and the states of IN, MI, OH and KY. The Navy is considering multiple awards based on geographical areas. In addition to the geographical area, we would like your input on the size of the contract, size of individual task orders, contractor attendance at site visits, the number of contracts to be awarded and the method of ordering. The SIC code for this project is 1542 and 1541 with a size standard of $17.0 Million. The FSC code is Z199. An evaluation preference will be given in accordance with DFARS 252.219-7008, "Notice of Evaluation preference for Small Disadvantaged BusinessConcerns -- construction acquisitions -- test program." If interested in viewing/commenting on the proposed draft RFp, please submit a request by 25 July 1997 to Mary Langfeldt at FAX (847)688-3124. Comments on the draft are due by 15 August 1997.
