THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS, THEREFORE, OFFERORS INITIAL PROPOSALS SHOULD CONTAIN THE OFFEROR'S BEST TERMS FROM A COST OR PRICE AND TECHNICAL STANDPOINT. The total maximum value for the base term and all options for the aggregate of all IDIQ contracts awarded as a result of this RFP shall not exceed $250,000,000. The minimum task order amount for this contract is $3,000,000. The IDIQ work will include new construction and design/build for renovation, alteration, repair, new construction, associated architecture/engineering and incidental related work at various housing locations in Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Types of projects may include but are not limited to: New Housing, Wholehouse/Revitalization, Repair by Replacement, Community Centers, Housing Offices, and other incidental-related work. In support of the design-build strategies, the contractor shall employ the services of an architect/engineering professional experienced in the coordination of multi-discipline architectural/engineering design efforts and conducting business from an established professional business office. Multiple design teams may be proposed to satisfy a variety of building types projected to be awarded during the term of the contract. All discipline coordination shall be accomplished by the Contractor's architect/engineering team. The government will not coordinate the work for the contractor. After award of the initial contracts, each awardee shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order, except under those circumstances described in FAR 16.505 (b)(2). Award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements for each Task Order and may be competed on the basis of price, best value or technically acceptable, low-price selection procedures. The subsequent task orders may be performance-oriented tasks requiring minimal design, may occasionally be complex construction requiring design development for design-build construction, or a combination thereof. 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, and 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. The exact location of each task order will be indicated by the Contracting Officer. The awarded task order will be a performance-scoped, firm-fixed-price task with a specific completion date. Should any of the IDIQ contractors 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 contractors will be required to participate in walk-through-exploratory scoping investigations, and to subsequently submit their proposals. Failure to participate responsibly in walk-through-exploratory scoping investigations and to submit proposals on all Task Orders may result in the Government not exercising the option periods called out in the contract. The best value contractor will receive the seed project with award. The second, third, and any additional selected contractor will each receive award with a minimum guarantee of $1,000,000 and selection will be based on the same criteria as the first selection.
