The Contracting Officer for this solicitation is WJ Anonie. Presolicitation Notice: This procurement is for one solicitation resulting in the award of four Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Construction Contracts to the responsible proposers whose proposals, conforming to the RFP, are considered in the best interest of the Government using the best value continuum process in a negotiated acquisition. One of the contracts will be set aside for and competed amongst 8(a) contractors in the State of Louisiana and the other three will be competed unrestricted. The work will primarily be demolition, routine renovation, alteration, repairs and minor construction throughout the Area of Responsibility (AOR) of NAVFACENGCOM, SOUTHDIV FIELD OFFICE, NAS, NSA NEW ORLEANS, LA, and other locations as justified. Future 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 four contractors, they will compete for Task Orders based on either best value using a tradeoff process 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 $30,000,000.00. Construction schedules will be determined for each project at the issuance of each Task Order. The four Best Value contractors will be selected for the award of either the seed project or the award of a minimum guarantee of $50,000. The first IDIQ construction contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price, 100% design. The initial awards will be based on technical factors including (1) Experience/Qualifications, (2) Past Performance, (3) Technical Approach, & (4) Small Business Subcontracting Effort. It will also be based on pricing full plans and specifications for N62467-97-D-0977, Repairs to BEQ, Bldg. 45, NAS JRB, New Orleans, LA, with an estimated value of $500,000.-$1,000,000. The minimum guarantee of $50,000.00 will be met for the first of the four IDIQ contracts with the award of this project. The second, third and fourth contract will be awarded at the same time with a minimum guarantee of $50,000.00 and selection based on the same criteria as the first selection. All four contractor will competitively bid on subsequent task orders. The subsequent projects will be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring no professional design services. They will be scoped by the Government/Contractor team and may not have traditional plans and specifications by 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; will be performance scoped, firm fixed price task with a specific completion date, liquidated damages and specific wage rates.Should the second, third or fourth contractor 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 four Contractors will be required to participate in all SOC walkthroughs and submit proposals. Failure to participate responsibly in walkthroughs and submit proposals of Task Orders may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract for the option years. Only the four 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 contractor if for any reason one of the contracts is terminated or one of the proposers is not able to participate in the process. Failure to participate responsibly in the Task Order process may result in forfeiture of the minimum guarantee amount. PROPOSAL CLOSES ON 31 JULY 98.
