Carney (Site Code W31XNJ) Request for Proposal (RFP) for Debris Management to include removal, reduction and reduction site management associated with natural disaster emergency responses supported by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers within the geographic boundaries of the South Atlantic Division. Up to seven contracts will be awarded as a results of this RFP, one each for the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Each contract will provide for primary performance in the given state but will allow work to be ordered in any of the above named states. Each contract will include a performance period of a one (1) year base period and provide for four (4) option years. Offers must be held open through 30 November 1997 with the government reserving the right to exercise option years until 30 November of subsequent years, regardless of when the base years or option years expire. Funds are not presently available to award these contracts. Awards will not be made unless and until funds become available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A new RFP will be issued in FY98 for contracts for states that were not awarded as a result of this RFP. Although prospective offers can compete for the contracts for any or all of the aforementioned states, offers will be limited to award of a single contract for a single state. The resultant contracts will be Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts which will provide for issuance of fixed-price as well as cost-reimbursable Task Orders. Fixed-price work will include equipment rental as well as cubic yard (CY) rates. The total of all Task Orders issued is estimated to be not more than $20,000,000.00 per base year and each option year for an overall estimated total, including option years, of $100,000,000.00 per contract. This is a best value acquisition with past performance, management plan, location of offeror, subcontracting to small, small disadvantaged and small woman-owned business concerns, hiring and subcontracting in the identified disaster geographic areas, and price as the evaluation criteria. Large business concerns must submit proposed subcontracting plans with their offers. Subcontracting plans should reflect a minimum subcontracting goal of 65% for small business, 30% for small disadvantaged business and 5% for small women-owned business concerns. All responses should be directed to Ms. Karen Johnson. No telephone requests. Only written or faxed requests (334/694-4343) received directly from the requestor are acceptable. Refer to solicitation number in request. Bid documents will be available on or about 14 August 1997. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered. (0204)
