Z -- INDEFINITE DELIVERY INDEFINITE QUANTITY (IDIQ) CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION, ALTERATIONS & REPAIRS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN AZ, NM, IMPERIAL, RIVERSIDE, AND SAN BERNARDINO IN SOUTHERN CA SOL N68711-97-R-8804 DUE 081897 POC Vickie Ball, Contract Specialist (619) 532-3083, Plan Issue, (619) 532-2084 This procurement consist of one solicitation with the intent to award three Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Construction Contracts to the responsible proposers whose proposals, conforming to the Request for Proposal (RFP), will be most advantageous to the Government resulting in the Best Value, Cost or Price and other factors considered. The Government reserves the right to award only one contract covering the project identified in the RFP if funds are not available for the minimum guarantee for three awards. The Government further reserves the right to award the remaining two contracts within the acceptance period upon the availability of funds for the minimum guarantee. The work is for new construction, renovation, alterations, improvement, repairs, minor construction and minor architectural/engineering including design-build for various facilities including site, utility, street and sidewalk work, and other associated work, minor buildings, and construction necessary to provide a fully functional facility at various locations in the state of Arizona, New Mexico, and in Imperial, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties in Southern California. The exact location of each task order will be indicated by the Contracting Officer. Projects assigned to these IDIQ contracts will use the Solution Order Concept (SOC) approach to scope and price the work. After the award of the initial contract, the three contractors, will compete for task orders based on either best value or low price technically acceptable to the Government through Government/Contractor Team cooperative scoping of the work. The work will be for new construction, renovation, alterations, and minor construction to buildings including plumbing, electrical, HVAC installation, telephones, etc., necessary to provide a complete and usable facility. It also includes site improvements such as landscaping and erosion control, street and sidewalk repairs /improvements, and repairs/improvements/ installation of utilities. The work will be as described above and in cases where design-build strategies are required, the contractor shall employ the services of an architect/engineering professional established in the coordination of multi-discipline architectural/engineering design efforts and conducting business from an established professional business office. All discipline coordination shall be accomplished by the Contractor's architect/engineering team. The government will not coordinate the work for the contractor. Each contract will be for one base year with 3 option years. The total 4 years (Base Year and three Option Years) estimated construction cost per IDIQ contract shall be $15,000,000.00. Construction schedules will be determined for each project at the issuance of each task order. The three Best Value contractors will be selected for the award of either the seed project or the award of one of the two contracts with a minimum guarantee of $50,000.00 for the base year. The first IDIQ construction contract of the three will be awarded with afirm fixed price, 100% design as the seed project. The initial award will be based on the following evaluation criteria: Factor 1 -- Price, Factor 2 Past Performance, and Factor 3 Technical with are weighed approximately equal.

It will be based on pricing full plans and specifications for N68711-97-D-8804, SITE ADAPT -- SMALL ARMS TEST RANGE FACILITY AT MCLB BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA. The estimated construction cost for this initial project, which consist of complete design and engineering services based on site specific criteria and guide specifications and drawings for a similar facility and the construction of a new, complete functioning facility including sitework, utilities, building construction, mechanical and electrical systems is between $100,000 to $500,000. The minimum guarantee of $50,000 for the base year will be met for the first of the three IDIQ contracts when this proposed project is awarded. The second contract N68711-97-D-8805 and third contract N68711-97-D-8806 will be awarded at the same time with a minimum guarantee of $50,000 for the base year and selection based on the same criteria as the first selection. All three contractors will compete on subsequent Task Orders. The subsequent projects may be performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design, may occasionally be complex construction, or require design development for design-build construction. 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 or 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. Award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements of each Task Order, however pricing will weigh heavily. The awarded Task Order will be a performance scoped, firm fixed price task with a specific completion date. Should the second or third IDIQ contractor 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 three Contractors will be required to participate in all SOC walk throughs and submit proposals. Failure to participate responsibly in walk throughs and submit proposals on Task Orders may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract for an additional year. Only three selected Contractors will be permitted to propose on the Task Orders. Proposals from other contractors will not be accepted. A minimum of two proposals will satisfy the competitive requirements of SOC and preclude the necessity of soliciting for a replacement Contractor if for any reason one of the contracts is terminated or one of the proposers is not able to participate in the process. Failure to participate responsibly in the task order process may result in forfeiture of the minimum guarantee amount.
