Y -- MULTIPLE AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT -- CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN/BUILD FOR AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY PANAMA CITY AND PENSACOLA, FLORIDA. TWO PHASE DESIGN/BUILD. SOL N62467-98-R-1128 DUE 081699 POC Contract Specialist: Megra Spells, Code 0211MS. Contracting Officer: L. R. Fisk, Code 0211. THIS SOLICITATION IS HEREBY ISSUED ON AN "UNRESTRICTED" BASIS INVITING FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. General Overview: This procurement is for one solicitation resulting in the award of up to three Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Design-Build contracts. The Two-Phase Design Build Request for Proposal procedures of FAR 36.3 will be utilized for this procurement. The seed project will consist of the design and construction of JPATS T-6A Trainer Facility Naval Air Station Whiting Field Milton, Florida. The work will be concentrated at the following locations: Panama City & Pensacola Area (all activities within approximately a 50 mile radius) and all Outlying Landing Fields (OLF's). This solicitation will result in the award of up to three indefinite quantity design-build contracts within firm fixed price task orders. The total estimated value for all three contracts is $70,000,000. Each contract will be for one base year and three option years. The anticipated range for each task order is between $500,000. and $7,000,000., with most task orders falling in the range of $2,000,000. to $5,000,000. After award of the initial contracts, the three successful offerors will compete for task orders based on either Best Value to the Government or Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. The successful offerors will be encouraged to submit technical and price proposals one all future task orders. Lack of participation may result in the Government not exercising the option for extending the contract. Participation in the pre-proposal conference or site visits for future task orders will be the responsibility of the offeror and are not directly reimbursable by the Government. Task orders will require multi-disciplined design services in all aspects of general building construction for new and renovation projects including comprehensive interior design, lead and asbestos abatement. Projects will also require incorporation of sustainable features. Multiple design teams may be proposed to satisfy a variety of building types projected to be awarded during the term of this contract. Professional registration or certification is required in the state where the projects are located (Florida) as needed to obtain construction environmental permits and to comply with agency regulations. This procurement will consist of Two (2) Phases. Phase I: Offerors will be evaluated on Factor A: Past Performance, Factor B: Small Business Subcontracting Effort, Factor C: Technical Qualifications, Factor D: Scheduling and Factor E: Management Approach. Phase I design-build factors relate to the base year and 3 option years IDIQ contract requirements for general building type projects including administrative, training, dormitory and community support type facilities, not just the seed project identified in Part 1.3 of Document 00150 of the RFP. The highest rated offerors, typically 5 to 7, will advance to Phase II. The Government will then request Phase II proposals. Phase II: Qualified offerors will be evaluated on the following tentative factors: Factor A: Past Performance (same as Phase I unless conditions change); Factor B: Small Business Subcontracting Effort, Factor C: Technical Solutions -- (1) Design Solution Narrative, (2) Conceptual Site Plan, (3) Conceptual Building Designs, (4) Sustainable Design Features; and Factor D: Technical Qualifications (same as Phase I unless conditions change). In Phase II, the competitive field will be required to submit technical and price proposals for the "seed" project. The Phase II technical proposal will require preparation of a limited design solution for the seed project; Small Business Subcontracting Effort; and other factors that define the quality of construction. Price proposals will include total evaluated price, such as, evaluation of scope/design options within the Government's published budget for award, and an evaluation of change order markups and overhead. The best value proposal for the seed project will be awarded a project and an IDIQ design-build contract for the base year and three option years. SPECIALIZED PROJECT REQUIREMENTS (SEED PROJECT): This seed project is for the design and construction (design / build) of a (JPATS) T-6A Simulator Training Facility at Naval Station Whiting Field, including integrated site development and incidental related work to provide a complete and useable facility at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, Fl with an estimated cost of construction between $3,500,000 and $3,900,000. The project will also require comprehensive interior design service and incorporation of sustainable design features. All lead designers must be professional registered/certified in their discipline. For example, Fire Protection Engineers must be registered in the discipline of Fire Protection Engineering. Additionally, designers must be registered/certified in the state of Florida as needed to obtain construction environmental permits and comply with agency regulations. All work will be designed in accordance with applicable military handbooks. Permits will be the design-builder's responsibility unless otherwise stated below. Work includes the design and construction (design/build) of a new 2,200 square meter facility to house aircrew training devices with supporting classroom, administrative, and service areas. Also included is the design and rehab of 800 square meters of Building 2946 to provide classrooms and computer aided instruction laboratories. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE GOVERNMENT TO AWARD UP TO THREE CONTRACTS. THE SEED PROJECT IDENTIFIED IN THIS SOLICITATION WILL BE AWARDED IN BEST VALUE FASHION, WITH THE REMAINING CONTRACTOR RECEIVING MINIMUM GUARANTEES IN THE AMOUNT OF $100,000 EACH. The Government reserves the right to reject any and all proposals at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any or all offerors; to award the contract to other than the offerors submitting the lowest total price; and to award to the offeror submitting the proposal determined by the Government to be the most advantageous to the Government. OFFERORS ARE ADVISED THAT THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO EVALUATE PROPOSALS AND AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS OR ANY CONTACT CONCERNING THE PROPOSALS RECEIVED. Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most FAVORABLE terms.
