PROPOSED ACTION: The contracting officer proposes to extend the current 8 state (MN, WI, IL, IN, IA, NE, OH, MI) Job Order Contract (JOC) DAKF61-96-D-0029 for additional performance period of 29 May through 28 Sept 2000 (4 months). Along with this extension, the contract maximum will be increased by $4.5 million. The incumbent contractor is Madison Services Inc, P.O. Box 1639, Madison, MS 39130. The current JOC contract is a base and options IDIQ contract with a $450K annual minimum and a contract maximum of $17.5 million. This extension and increase, is necessary to avoid disruption of services to the 88th Reserve Support Command until the next JOC contract is awarded during June or July 2000 competition of the next contract is restricted to 8(a) firms. The extension also provides for transition and overlap while the ensuing contractor mobilizes. CONTRACT REQUIREMENT: The current JOC contract spans nearly all construction disciplines. Under this contract, the Gov. can order, but is not obligated to order, repair/construction at any of nearly 200 reserve centers scattered across the 8-state area. Typical delivery orders average $120,000. Costs of projects are negotiated on site based on the work required and prices in the current contract price book; contract Davis Bacon wage rates apply to all orders. Delivery orders are issued as firm fixed price orders at the conclusion of negotiations; the Gov. incurs no obligation to issue negotiated projects. No minimum dollar amount is guaranteed with this contract action. Maximum payment and performance bonding is required. Contractor administrative, management, and quality control personnel/sections are required. A field office(s) is required -- possibly several depending on projects awarded. Split awards/multi-awards will not be considered. E-MAIL: Click here to e-mail the contracting officer, dennis.nelson@emh2.mccoy.army.mil. Posted 03/30/00 (W-SN439784).
