The contracts will be for a base period of one year with two one-year option periods. The Government reserves the right to award fewer than or more than three contracts under this solicitation or to award only one contract covering the seed project identified in the RFP if funds are not available for the minimum guarantee for three or more awards. The total maximum value for the base term and all options for the aggregate of all IDIQ contracts awarded as a result of this RFP shall not exceed $150 million. The IDIQ work will consist of design-build for renovation, alteration, repair, new construction and associated architecture/engineering work at various locations within the States of Arizona, New Mexico, California, and for special programs such as Housing and Non-appropriated funded (NAF) in the States of Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Type of facilities may include but not limited to: Bachelor Quarters, New Housing, Wholehouse Revitalization, Child Care Centers, Lodges, Recreation/Fitness Centers, Retail Complexes, Warehouses, Housing Offices, Community Centers, and other similar facilities. In support of the design-build strategies, the contractor shall employ the services of an architect/engineering professional experienced in the coordination of multi-discipline architectural/engineering design efforts and conducting business from an established professional business office. All discipline coordination shall be accomplished by the Contractor's architect/engineering team. The government will not coordinate the work for the contractor. Projects assigned to the IDIQ contracts will use the Solution Order Concept (SOC) approach to scope and price the work. After award of the initial contracts, each awardee shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order, except under those circumstances described in FAR 16.505(b)(2). Award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements for each Task Order and may be competed on the basis of price, best value or technically acceptable, low-price selection procedures. The subsequent task orders may be performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design, may occasionally be complex construction requiring design development for design-build construction, or a combination thereof. 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, and 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. The awarded Task Order will be a performance scoped, firm fixed price task with a specific completion date. Should any of the IDIQ contractors be unable to competitively secure a Task Order to meet the minimum guarantee, award factors may be modified in order to ensure each participating contractor is awarded Task Orders meeting the minimum guarantee. All Contractors will be required to participate in all walk-through -- exploratory scoping investigations, and to subsequently submit their proposals. Failure to participate responsibly in walk through's and failure to submit proposals on Task Orders may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract for each additional year. Successful offerors will receive the following contract awards: Best Value receives the seed project with award; 2nd, 3rd, and any additional selected contractor will each receive award with a minimum guarantee of $125,000 for the base year. Evaluation for award will be based on: Past Performance including Subcontracting Effort; Technical/Management with subfactors including: (1) Experience, (2) Capacity to Accomplish Work and (3) Technical Approach; and Pricing for N68711-97-R-8819, the seed project and first task order of this contract.
