- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Engineering and Support Center (CEHNC) intends to award modifications to its Electronic Security Systems (ESS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts extending each contracts ordering period consistent with the terms identified within this announcement. The ESS program requirements are currently executed via firm fixed price and/or time and materials task orders which are placed against six (6) ID/IQ contracts in order to provide quick response for ESS procurement/installation services and delivery of security and force protection measures, close circuit television, and maintenance and service on installed equipment/systems at Government installations and facilities. Services include, but are not limited to development of equipment installation engineering plans; providing hardware and software; system testing and check-out; performing facility modification and work required to support equipment installation; providing security and force protection measures; interfacing with and installing new data transmission equipment; determining compatibility of new equipment with existing systems; preparing system and component documentation; providing operation and maintenance manuals; providing ESS training; warranting systems; maintaining and servicing systems; operating and monitoring systems; preparing after action and other reports; and providing as-built installation drawings. The scope also includes other electronic control and data acquisition systems services, such as Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS). Additionally, the contracts require the handling and generation of classified information. The services may call for extensive domestic and foreign travel. All current contract awards were made under full and open competition procedures. The ordering period for these contracts is to expire in November/December 2010. As a result, CEHNC is developing its acquisition strategy and conducting pre-award functions for the follow-on ESS acquisitions, under NAICS code 561621. The solicitation(s) for the follow-on acquisitions are slated to be released in May 2010 with the projected awards to be made in Spring 2011. Due to the lapse in coverage, it is necessary that the current contracts be extended to compensate for the period in which there would have been no contract coverage. Therefore, it is the Governments intention to modify the current ESS ID/IQ contracts to extend the ordering period by six (6) months and increase contract capacity by $75 million. Once the follow-on acquisitions are awarded, ordering against the current contracts will cease. The programmatic capacity for the current contracts is $500 million encompassing a total possible five (5) year ordering period (one (1) base year and four (4) one-year option periods). This capacity was established based on an analysis of the type of work required, anticipated workload, effects on competition, the capability of small businesses to compete for the required work, and upon historical ESS contract/program data. Upon award of the follow-on acquisitions, new task orders will not be placed against the current contracts despite any remaining capacity. The current contracts which the Government intends to modify consistent with the terms identified within this announcement are as follows: W912DY-05-D-0013 (Williams Electric), W912DY-05-D-0014 (Johnson Controls Bldg Systems), W912DY-05-D-0015 (Siemens Government Services), W912DY-05-D-0027 (Infotec Systems Corporation), W912DY-05-D-0018 (SEI Group, Inc.), and W912DY-05-D-0019 (LVW Electronics). The original basic contract Scope of Work for each contract award will remain unchanged. The Government intends to award the modifications to these contracts consistent with the terms identified within this announcement upon the basis of the authority provided in 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) and implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy requirement. Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agencys requirements would result given any other action due to current circumstances. Due to the unique prior experience and involvement of the current contractors and the anticipated recurring need for facility repairs and renovations, the actions proposed within this announcement are justified. The Government will support the proposed actions by written justifications and obtain appropriate approval prior to proceeding. The Government will synopsize the contract modifications after award. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all capability statements received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. Capability Statements submitted should demonstrate the offerors experience and expertise to provide the services identified above within the time frame required and without substantial duplication of cost to the Government. The statement shall include pricing information which includes profit rate, overhead rate, G&A rate, project management and support personnel rates; business size; ability to self-perform work; layers of subcontracting and associated mark-ups; and any other information indicating a legitimate ability to meet these specific requirements. Statements should not exceed 5 pages in length. Written inquiries may be directed to Ms. Wanda Hampton via email at Wanda.H.Hampton@usace.army.mil or Mr. Adam Sunstrom via email at Adam.R.Sunstrom@usace.army.mil.
