- Description
- THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A FORMAL SOLICITATION [INVITATION FOR BID (IFB)] OR A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT A PROPOSAL. This Pre-Solicitation Notice is being issued for the purpose of advising potential offerors of the Government’s requirement for a performance-based remediation (PBR) effort at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. If your firm intends to participate in the site visit, a complete response is required as outlined within Further Pre-solicitation Information. Other than site visit attendee information, no further information is requested at this time. The subject pre-solicitation notice is to provide information for early planning and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. There is no entitlement to payment by the Government of direct or indirect costs or charges that arise as a result of the provision of this information. Note that official information concerning this pre-solicitation will be provided by the Contracting Officer only. General Information: The 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron/Environmental Contracting (772 ESS/PKB) in conjunction with the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE), at Lackland AFB, TX, is contemplating a requirement to provide engineering, restoration, and construction services to achieve Site Closeout (SC) through remedial action at one-hundred and eight (108) Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites at Vandenberg AFB, CA. Project Narrative: The 772 ESS/PKB is considering a performance-based approach for SC involving remedial action efforts at Vandenberg AFB, CA. Performance-Based Remediation (PBR) emphasizes results in terms of environmental clean-up for an entire installation (fence-to-fence), or group of installations, in lieu of a study-based approach. The PBR approach looks for technically and cost-effective methods for achieving this clean-up by focusing on achievement of desired objectives without specifying the processes or technologies for obtaining those objectives. The PBR initiative has an overarching goal to implement remedies as necessary to protect human health and the environment that maximizes the number of SCs or advance sites as close to SC as practicable during the Period of Performance (POP) in a cost effective manner. It is desirable to the Government that Life-Cycle Costs (LCC) be reduced. If SC with no new institutional controls is not obtainable within the POP of this effort, the Contractor shall outline the Optimization Exit Strategy (OES) that will be implemented to accomplish SC. The awarded contractor shall perform all necessary environmental construction and engineering activities as required to meet the performance objectives of the Draft SOO. The period of performance (POP) – if all target options are executed - is estimated at 120 months from date of award. The estimated Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) anticipated for any resultant contract is between $150 Million and $180 Million. This ROM is an estimate range only and is provided only for informational purposes. The following information is provided to assist potential offerors in planning for this requirement: DRAFT Statement of Objectives (SOO), dated 31 Aug 2012; DRAFT SOO Enclosure 1, Site List, dated 06 July 2012; DRAFT SOO Enclosure 2, Key Documents List, dated 31 Aug 2012; DRAFT SOO Enclosure 5, Acronyms and Definitions, dated 04 May 2012 DRAFT Bonding Stream, dated 04 May 2012 A single website is available to review the key, installation-specific environmental documents listed in DRAFT SOO, Enclosure 2, Key Documents List. The following website is established to review back-ground information for the included sites: URL http://afcee-pbmc.com/vandenbergFY13/Contractors/Forms/AllItems.aspx A schedule has been established for when this site will be open to potential offerors to view and download documentation: 31 August 2012 – 23 September 2012 – Open to potential offerors for viewing and download of documents. 24 September 2012 – 8 October 2012 – Closed to potential offerors; Government upload of additional documentation and update to DRAFT SOO Enclosure 2. 9 October 2012 - 22 October 2012 - Open to potential offerors for viewing and download of documents.

ENVIRONMENTAL INSURANCE (EI) The Air Force is currently NOT proposing to require Cleanup Cost Cap (CCC) or any other type of Environmental Insurance (EI) for this PBR. BONDING CAPACITY The Air Force is currently proposing to require performance and payment bonds for only the construction portion of this PBR. The bonding required for the construction portion of this effort is anticipated to be 51% of the total estimated contract amount, which has a ROM of between $150 Million and $180 Million, if all options are exercised. An estimated bonding stream is provided to show estimated bonding amounts per year. Note: Your price proposal may differ from the Air Force’s ROM based on the proposed technical approach. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCI) An organizational conflict of interest may result when factors create an actual or potential conflict of interest on a contract, or where the nature of the work to be performed on the contract creates an actual or potential conflict of interest on a future acquisition. Some restrictions may apply to your firm under the proposed future action. In accordance with the parameters set forth in FAR Subpart 9.5 and 36.209, the Contracting Officer must ensure that there are no conflicting roles that might bias a contractor’s judgment and must ensure that an OCI does not give rise to an unfair competitive advantage. Performance of past clean-up related work at Vandenberg AFB may have created an OCI concerning this PBR effort. OCIs may exist in the following three ways. a. Unequal access to information – access to non-public information that gives a contractor an unfair competitive advantage. b. Biased ground rules – when a contractor has in some sense set the ground rules for another procurement action creating the potential that the contractor may have tilted the playing field in the new competition (usually toward its own strengths and away from its weaknesses). c. Impaired objectivity – when the contract requires exercise of judgment and the independence of its judgment may be affected (e.g., when the contractor may be required to evaluate its own work in a way that could be adverse to its economic interests). Please keep in mind OCI or potential OCI issues your firm (including all subsidiaries, legacy companies, teaming partners, and subcontractors) may have with respect to the scope of effort at these sites. FURTHER PRE-SOLICITATION INFORMATION THIS IS A SAVE THE DATE NOTICE FOR SITE VISIT. The 772 ESS/PKB is considering a performance-based approach for Site Closeout involving remedial action efforts at Vandenberg AFB, CA. The Acquisition Strategy has not yet been approved for this requirement. Should the Air Force determine to proceed with this requirement, it will be processed using FAR Part 15 procedures and will result in a "C" type contract, NOT a task order under any current Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract suites (AFCEE contract suites). If the Air Force elects to proceed with this requirement, a formal solicitation will be finalized and posted to FedBizOpps at a later date. It has NOT been determined if this requirement will be issued as a Small Business Set-Aside or under Full and Open Competition. This effort is a validated FY2013 requirement; however funds are not currently available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this requirement at any time. Attendance at this Site Visit is not mandatory and is at the sole discretion of each firm. The Government will not reimburse participating firms for site visit costs. No formal Request for Proposal has been issued to-date. Currently, in order to meet time schedules, the Air Force is requesting that companies planning to send representatives to the Site Visit submit the names of the individuals attending. The Site Visit will be from the 15th - 18th of October 2012 (the 14th and 19th would be travel days) at Vandenberg AFB, CA. It is the Air Force's intention to review general base information, site specific information, provide a walk-around of sites (all sites may not be viewed, but representative sites will be viewed), and allow firms to speak with regulators individually. A schedule of events will be provided via email to firms that submit attendee information by the required time and date. We can only accommodate two individuals per firm. The names of interested parties will be added to a list of attendees. Each person attending the site visit will need to submit the following information to Estephon.ramirez@us.af.mil and Rebecca.quint@us.af.mil no later than 2:00 p.m. (CT) on 04 October 2012. If this information is not submitted by the required time and date indicated above, your company will not be able to attend the site visit due to security concerns. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS: 1) Name and title of individual(s), including First and Last name 2) Daytime Phone Number of personnel attending site visit 3) Date of Birth 4) Driver's License # 5) State of issue for Driver's License 6) Company Name Place of Performance: Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA Procuring Contracting Office: 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron 2261 Hughes Ave, Suite 163 Lackland AFB, TX 78236-9853
