The primary performance area is the Greater Southwest Region which includes all counties/parishes in the states of New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Awards will be divided and made by zones within the primary areas. The secondary contract area is the contiguous United States. The duration of the contract(s) shall be for a period of five years with two five year options, with both GSA and the contractor(s) having mutual termination rights with 60 days notice. Phase I offerors are required to submit responses to the information requested herein for technical evaluation. Not more than 20 offerors per category who are determined by the Government to be in the technically competitive range will receive a request for Phase II proposals. Pre-proposal conferences for Phase I will be held in Fort Worth, TX, San Antonio, TX, and New Orleans, LA. The pre-proposal conference for Fort Worth, TX is tentatively scheduled for March 4, 1999, at the Fritz G. Lanham Federal Bldg., Room 12A27 at 10:00 a.m. Please monitor our GSA website (listed below), for more information regarding the scheduling of the pre-proposal conferences. Multiple awards may be made with each awardee being guaranteed a minimum of $200. The minimum ordering limitation per task order will be $1,000. The anticipated maximum ordering limitation of each contract is estimated at up to $25 million per year. This negotiated procurement will be accomplished by the source selection method, which will result in award of a firm fixed price contract to the contractor(s) offering the best value to the Government. Technical ability is more important than price. The Government intends to award up to 75% to small businesses in Category A (construction). The Government may or may not hold discussions on technical proposals (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)) therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The number of offerors included in the competitive range can be limited for purposes of efficiency. The number of proposals in the competitive range may be limited to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Offerors will not be reimbursed for Phase I or Phase II proposal submittal expenses. The Government is not limited to contacting only those references provided by the offeror (s). The Government may also consider the offeror's performance on contracts not submitted by the offeror that the Government is aware of, or becomes aware of.
