AFICA AFCEC BECSRC Western Solicitation
Added: Jan 26, 2015 4:54 pm FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR SUBMISSION OF QUESTIONS CONCERNING DRAFT SOLICITATION. THIS REQUEST IS NOT A FINAL SOLICITATION. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT A PROPOSAL.1. This pre-solicitation notice is being posted for the purpose of obtaining industry feedback concerning the attached DRAFT Solicitation. Response to the request for questions is strictly voluntary and will not affect any firm's ability to submit an offer if, or when, a Final Solicitation is released. However, we highly encourage you to reply. The request is for final planning purposes only 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 submission of information in response to this notice. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any improperly identified proprietary information. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable Government regulations.2. This requirement is to provide a full range of responsive environmental remediation actions necessary to protect human health & the environment. It includes rapid response and removal of environmental media contaminations and site restoration activities located on Base Realignment and Closure Bases (BRAC) in EPA regions 9 & 10 (Western). The BRAC Environmental Construction and Services Requirements Contract (BECSRC) is being contemplated to include a 5 year ordering period with 24 additional months for performance completion of services.3. The purpose of soliciting and awarding this Requirements Contract is to have a tool in place for "pop-up" interim Environmental Remediation requirements. "Pop-ups" are unplanned, out-of-cycle requirements that occur periodically, but erratically on installations included in the BRAC Program Management Division portfolio. The BRAC Program Management Division, responsible for remediation and transfer of Air Force property affected by BRAC legislation, manages the disposal of Air Force property in accordance with BRAC law and the BRAC Master Plan to achieve early environmental resolution and early property disposal to return value to the Air Force and local communities. Requirements contracts are set up with one contractor to provide service (FAR 16.503). Generally speaking, an IDIQ obligates the Government to a minimum quantity/dollar amount at the time award, while a Requirements Contract guarantees the contractor no such minimum. 4. The contracting officer will conduct this source selection using a phased evaluation process which is sometimes referred to as a "down-select." To make the process more efficient, the contracting officer is limiting the amount of information that offerors must submit initially. The contracting officer shall notify offerors promptly in writing when their proposals are excluded from the competitive range or otherwise eliminated from the competition after which Evaluation Notices (ENs) will be sent to offerors within the competitive range as needed. Those offerors considered by the Contracting Officer to be within the competitive range will be asked to submit the Volume III (Pricing) and Volume IV (Sample Task Order) in Phase II of this source selection.5. All questions/comments pertaining to the DRAFT RFP shall be provided to the Government for consideration in the provided matrix Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has a field for Section/Attachment Number, Applicable Region, Page # / Paragraph Reference and Question/Comment. Please ensure that both sheets and fields are completed in their entirety. The Government is specifically requesting industry input on the adequacy and feasibility of the BECSRC Western Pricing Matrix which includes tabs for Deliverables, Unit Pricing, and Labor Rates.6.
