FAMILY HOUSING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR AT FORT LEWIS AND VANCOUVER BARRACKS, WA CONTRACT MODIFICATION The Directorate of Contracting, Fort Lewis, WA, intends to modify Contract DAKF57-96-D-0011 with All Star Maintenance, Inc., under the authority of FAR 6.302. The modification will consist of adding two six-month option periods to the existing contract. The modification is necessary to preclude disruption of services if timelines slip in the planned family housing Residential Community Initiative (RCI). The proposed option(s) will also provide for a transition phase from contract to RCI agreement. The ability to extend the contract for a short term period will result in administrative cost savings to the Government as mobilized and start-up costs are extensive for services of this magnitude and it is not projected that these costs could be properly amortized in a contract of 6 to 12 months duration. The Government maintains the right to exercise one or both of the 6 month options. The Government may elect not to exercise either of the options. In the event Fort Lewis family housing is either substantially delayed or not converted under RCI, a new acquisition will be developed using full and open competition. Responsible sources may submit a proposal in response to this notice which shall be considered by the Government. To be considered, responses to this notice must demonstrate an offeror's capability to perform the services without adverse impact to quality of family housing maintenance at an equal or lesser cost than the current contractor for two separate 6-month time periods. All responses must include, as a minimum, a detailed transition plan and narrative addressing both cost and performance issues, and a discussion of how such benefits will offset governmental administrative costs associated with such a transition. Note 22 applies. Posted 12/21/98 (W-SN282364).
