Z -- INDEFINITE DELIVERY QUANTITY (IDIQ) CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS FOR RENOVATION, ALTERATIONS, AND REPAIRS FOR THE PUERTO RICO AND CARIBBEAN AREA SOL N62470-97-R-9992 DUE 022397 POC Point of Contact -- Ms. J. J. Patton, Code 02211, 757-322-4158 -- Ms. Susan Kranes, Contracting Officer, 757-322-8222 E-MAIL: SOC, pattonjj@efdlant.navfac.navy.mil. This procurement is for one solicitation resulting in the award of three (3) Indefinite Delivery Quantity (IDIQ) Construction Contracts to the responsible proposers whose proposals, conforming to the 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 ONE CONTRACT COVERING ONLY THE PROJECT IDENTIFIED IN THE RFP IF THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF FUNDS ARE NOT IDENTIFIED FOR THREE AWARDS. The work is renovation, alterations, repairs, and minor construction to be performed in Puerto Rico or the Caribbean Areas. Projects assigned to these IDIQ contracts will use the Solution Order Contract (SOC) approach to scope and price the work. After award of the initial contract to the three contractors, they will compete for delivery orders based on either best value or low price technical acceptable to the Government through Government/Contractor Team cooperative scoping of the work. The work will be (but not all inclusive) routine and repair of facilities including barracks, administrative and personnel facilities, warehouses, and other similar types of facilities with some minor construction and incidental alteration/construction work. Each contract will be for one base year with two (2) one (1) year options. The total three (3) year (Base year and two (2) one (1) year option years) estimated construction cost for three (3) IDIQ contracts is $45,000,000. Construction schedules will be determined for each project at the issuance of each delivery order. The three (3) best value contractors will be selected for the award of either the seed project of the award or one (1) of the two (2) contracts with a minimum guarantee of $100,000. The first IDIQ construction contract of the three (3) will be awarded with a firm fixed price, 100% design as the seed project. The initial award will be based on technical factors including: (1) Corporate Experience for projects in the State of North Carolina of the size and nature envisioned by this contract; (2) Past Performance; (3) Technical Approach; and (4) Support of the Small Business Program. The minimum guarantee of $100,000 will be met for the first of the three (3) IDIQ contracts when the proposed project is awarded. The second Contract N62470-97-R-9991, and the third Contract N62470-97-R-9990 will be awarded within the first 12 months with a minimum guarantee of $100,000 and selection based on the same criteria as the first selection. All three (3) Contractors will competitively bid on subsequent delivery orders. These subsequent projects will be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design. They will be scoped by the Government/Contractors 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 delivery orders 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 Delivery Order; however, pricing will weigh heavily. The awarded delivery order will be a performance scope, firm fixed price task with a specific completion date. Should the second or third IDIQ contractor be unable to competitively secure a Delivery Order to meet the minimum guarantee, the award factors may be modified in order to ensure each participating contractor is awarded Delivery Orders meeting the minimum guarantee. All three (3) 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 Delivery Orders may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract for an additional year. Only the three (3) selected contractors will be permitted to propose on the Delivery Orders. Proposals from another contractor will not be accepted. A minimum of two (2) 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 (1) of the proposers is not able to participate in the process. Failure to participate in the delivery order process may result in forfeiture of the minimum guarantee amount. THIS SOLICITATION IS HEREBY BEING ISSUED ON AN UNRESTRICTED BASIS INVITING FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. THE ESTIMATED DATE OF ISSUING THE RFP IS ON OR ABOUT 23 JANUARY 1997. Requests to be placed on bidders' lists and requests for Solicitation shall be faxed to 757-322-8251. (0358)
