SOL N62467-98-R-0672 POC Contract Specialist: Susie Conner, Code 0211SC. Contracting Officer: L. R. Fisk, Code 0211. THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION BEING ADVERTISED ON AN UNRESTRICTED BASIS INVITING FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. This procurement will result in the award of therein (3) separate Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) design-build Construction Contracts for general building type projects (new construction and renovations) including administrative, training, dormitory, and community support type facilities for activities in the state of Florida (excluding west Florida) and Kings Bay, GA managed by Southern Division Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The work will be at the following primary locations: Naval Air Station, Jacksonville; Naval Station, Mayport; Naval Air Station, Key West; and Naval Submarine Base, Kings Bay, GA. Proposers will be evaluated using the Two-Phase, Design-Build, Request for Proposal (RFP) procedures that result in awards based on Best Value to the Government -- cost or price or other factors considered. Each contract will be for one year with three option years. The anticipated workload is $130 million over the life of all contracts and the maximum combined value of all contracts will not exceed $200 million. Projects will vary in size from around $1 million to $15 million with the average project in the $2-5 million range. The three successful offerors will be encouraged to submit technical and price proposals on all future task orders. Lack of participation may result in the Government not exercising the option for extending the contract. Participation in the pre-proposal conference or site visits for future task orders will be the responsibility of the offeror and is not directly reimbursable by the Government. Task orders will require multi-disciplined design services in all aspects of general building construction for new and renovation projects including lead and asbestos abatement. Projects will also require incorporation of sustainable features. Multiple design teams may be proposed to satisfy a variety of building types projected to be awarded during the term of thiscontract. All professional disciplines shall be registered and/or certified in their discipline. In those states requiring specialized knowledge of local permitting or regulatory agency requirements, the professional discipline shall be registered or certified in that state. Phase I of the procurement process is a narrowing phase to 3 to 5 proposers (design-build teams) based on design-build factors that include: Past Performance, Technical Qualifications, Management Approach; and Small Business subcontracting effort. Phase I design-build factors relate to the four (4) year IDIQ contract requirements for general building type projects including administrative, training, dormitory, and community support type facilities, not just the seed projects identified at the end of this synopsis. Only those proposers selected in Phase I will be allowed to proceed into Phase II. In Phase II, the competitive field will be required to submit technical and price proposals for two "seed" projects. The Phase II technical proposal will require preparation of a limited design solution for both seed projects; Small Business Subcontracting Effort; and other factors that define the quality of construction. Cost and Price proposals may include total cost; evaluation of scope/design options within the Government's published budget for award, and an evaluation of change order markups and overhead. The best value proposal for each seed project will be awarded a project and an IDIQ design-build contract for the four (4) year term. Only one seed award per Proposer will be allowed. These initial seed projects satisfy consideration for minimum guarantees. The third IDIQ contract will be awarded to the design-build proposer who provides the new most competitive proposal. A minimum guarantee of $100,000 will be consideration for the award of the third IDIQ contract. The minimum guarantee will be payable only if the third proposer is awarded no task orders over the four (4) year contract term. Task orders will be competed among these three IDIQ contractors with each task order awarded based on best value or Lowest Price Technically Acceptable proposal.
