All contractors awarded a contract, including the contractor who receives the award for the seed project, will competitively quote on the subsequent task orders. Subsequent task order projects may be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design. 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 or other submittals. The salient requirements of the task orders may be scoped by the Government/Contractor team in order to develop a mutually agreed upon Statement of Work. Award evaluation factors for individual task orders may vary depending on the unique requirements of each task order, or award may be based on price only. The awarded task order may be a performance scoped, firm fixed price task, with a specific completion date. Task orders need not be competed if it becomes necessary to place an order to satisfy a contract minimum guarantee. All of the up to four contractors will be required to participate in all site walk throughs and submit proposals for the intended task orders. Failure to participate responsibly in walk throughs and submit proposals on task orders may result in the Government excluding the contractor for quotes on subsequent task orders. Only the up to four contract awarded contractors will be permitted to propose/quote on the task orders. Proposals from other contractors will not be accepted. A Bid Bond in the amount of $1,500,000 that will remain in effect for the full thirty-six month contract performance period will be required to be submitted with your proposal. The up to four contractors awarded a contract will be based on proposals that are considered to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. This project will be based on Source Selection criteria that requires potential proposers to submit their proposal in three readily severable parts for Relevant Past Performance, Technical Proposal, and a Price Proposal. Technical evaluation factors may require evaluation factors for Management and Organization; Technical Experience, Expertise and Quality, and Quality Control; and Commitment to Small Business. The solicitation is being issued on an "Unrestricted" basis inviting full and open competition. DFAR Clause 252.219-7008, Notice of Evaluation Preference for Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns-Construction Acquisitions-Test Program (APR 1996) will be incorporated into the solicitation and proposals will be subject to the evaluation criteria set forth therein.
