The work is for demolition, renovation, alteration and repairs and minor construction at NAS, NSA NEW ORLEANS AND THEIR AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. 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 task orders based on either best value or low price technically acceptable to the government through Government/Contractor Team cooperative scoping of the work. 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. Construction schedules will be determined for each project at the issuance of each task order. The initial awards will be based on technical factors including (1) Experience/Qualifications, (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. Only the three selected contractors will be permitted to compete on future task orders. These subsequent projects will be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design. 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 walk throughs and submit proposals for task orders estimated to exceed $25,000. 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 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 contract if for any reason a contract is terminated or one of the proposers is not able to participate in the process.
