The scope of the work shall include interior and exterior construction, repair, and demolition work for Navy housing units (e.g. single family housing, duplex's, townhouses, Navy lodges, BOQ's, BEQ's etc.), including the ability to do design build projects.

Both seed projects will be evaluated as to price. It is the governments intention to first select up to four (4) successful offerors for contract award and to then determine which of the up to four (4) selected offerors will receive the two seed projects. To select the up to four (4) successful offerors for contract award, the government will base the price evaluation on the total aggregate cost proposed for both of the seed projects. Based on the aggregate proposed price and other non-price factors, up to four (4) firms offering the proposals considered most advantageous to the government, will be selected to receive the MACC contracts. After the selection of up to four (4) firms that will receive the MACC contract awards, the government will evaluate the individual cost proposals submitted for the Greene Lane project and the Nautilus Park project. Only cost proposals received from the up to four (4) contractors selected for MACC awards will be evaluated at this time. Award of the Greene Lane seed project will be made to the contractor offering the lowest evaluated total price for the Greene Lane project. The government may award the Nautilus Park project to other than the low bidder in order to ensure that each participating contractor is awarded task orders to meet the minimum contract guarantees.

Each of the up to four (4) awardees that do not receive award of one of the two seed projects will receive a minimum guarantee of $100,000.00 to be reached over the contract performance period of sixty months. Subsequent Task Orders will be competed only among the up to four successful contractors. Award of each subsequent Task Order may be based on either Best Value to the Government or low price. There is no set maximum amount to be awarded under each of the up to four (4) contracts awarded other than that the total amount for all task orders issued during the five (5) year term, regardless of the number of contracts awarded, will not exceed the amount of $250 million.
