Description: BACKGROUND The National Park Service is conducting a series of controlled burns, and is therefore in need of portable showers and restrooms for possible delivery to Grand Canyon National Park North & South Rims, and the Flagstaff area national monuments: Wupatki, Sunset Crater Volcano, & Walnut Canyon. The NPS shall award this contract as a BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT with economic price adjustment, based upon the price list the vendors provide, one base year with four optional years. Vendors may email price lists to KimberleyRobinson@nps.gov, or fax them to (928) 637.7005 by 4:00 pm ET on Thursday, 9 August 2012. The NPS will notifiy all vendors who submit prices lists in response to this advertisement by 16 August as to whether or not the NPS will establish a BPA with their company. A blanket purchase agreement is, in no way, a guarantee of a purchase order. This BPA may be established with several vendors who are capable of providing the supplies. This requirement is 100% set-aside for small businesses under NAICS series 532***. Interested bidders must have a curent CCR record and Online Representations and Certifications (www.SAM.gov). A BPA is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing "charge accounts" with qualified sources. COs may establish BPAs among several vendors when there is a wide variety of supplies or services that the NPS generally purchases, but the exact items, quantities, and delivery times are unknown and may vary considerably. In this instance, the NPS may use this BPA for controlled burns and wildfires, deeming the delivery times and dates impossible to predict. An authorized NPS representative will contact the vendor with a BPA call number, a list of supplies / services required, and the timeframe in which they are needed. The CO shall provide each vendor with a list of individuals approved to place a BPA call. A vendor's inability to furnish the supplies / services for every BPA call does not negatively impact the contractor's past performance. The contractor shall supply all labor, materials, equipment, facilities, and transportation necessary to provide portable showers and restrooms. The base year runs 12 consecutive months from the date of the contract, and the NPS informs the contractor of its intent to exercise the subsequent option years by either a letter, or by requesting an updated price / supply list for the next 12 months. The NPS shall consider the yearly price list as fixed-price, and all calls placed against that BPA shall be under that year's pricing. A BPA cannot extend beyond five years. If the CO does not contact the vendor before the end of that 12-month period, the vendor may assume that the BPA is in effect for the next 12 months, and should submit an updated price list as soon as possible. PAYMENT Under a blanket purchase agreement, the vendor performs the service or delivers the supply, then submits a proper invoice to the CO or the person designated in the contract. The vendor shall be paid no later than 30 days after delivery / service to the bank account designated in the vendor's CCR record. If the event extends over multiple days, the vendor may submit daily invoices for prompt payment. Depending on the total cost of the vendor's supplies / services, the NPS may pay with a purchase card. CONFIDENTIALITY The NPS shall not disclose any vendor's pricing, quotes, equipment list, wage rates, or other information in connection to this contract with any entity without a current vested interest in this contract. EXTENT OF OBLIGATION The NPS is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under this BPA. GCNP shall place calls as needed. SCOPE OF SERVICES The Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, material, supervision, and transportation to fulfill the requested services. REQUESTED EQUIPMENT Quantities & dates needed are unknown. The NPS requests a price per each trailer. The quoted prices will be considered firm for 12 months from the date of the contract. Vendors may provide a price list on only what they are able to provide, and are welcome to provide alternative suggestions, so feel free to think outside the trailer. Vendors should also consider that many locations are remote, and will require extensive off-road travel. There is no required format for the price list. The anticipated contract award date is 16 August 2012.
