The majority of task orders issued under this IDIQ will be for the Hiawatha National Forest. However, task orders may also be issued for other Forest Service units located within Region 9. Forest Service warranted Contracting Officers are authorized to place task orders against this contract within their delegated warrant authority. All task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract.

The Task Order Issuance process will begin with a Task Order Pricing Request. This request will address specific requirements of a project, schedule of items, specific supplemental specifications within the Scope of the Work, specific site locations, etc. The Task Order Pricing Request:

a) will be issued by email. The Contractor is responsible for checking their email for task order issuances as no other notice will be provided.

b) will be issued during the performance period of this contract.

c) will be issued to those individuals awarded a contract under this program of work.

d) will include the required due date, specific instructions for the submission for quotes, and other information deemed appropriate.

e) will be competitive in nature. If a contractor cannot meet the “Desired Start Date” and the “Contract Completion Time” identified by number of calendar days referenced on the task order, an alternate schedule can be submitted by the contractor and will be considered for award.

The Contractor is encouraged to visit the site prior to quoting on the project. An IDIQ contractor forfeits their right to the minimum guarantee if they fail to quote on more than two task order pricing requests over the life of the IDIQ contract.

The following procedures will be utilized to provide awardees a fair opportunity in accordance with FAR Part 16.505(b). Method for selecting a contractor for task order award will be as shown in “a” through “c” below.

a) Exceptions to the fair opportunity process as provided by FAR 16.505(b)(2). If a Fair Opportunity Exception applies, the task order quote request will be issued to one contractor.

b) The Government will determine the best value based on price, timeframe, and past performance. Single or multiple awards may be made for individual task orders, as specified on the task order. The Contracting Officer selects contractor based upon the following:

1. Price – Prices from the Request for Task Order Pricing will be evaluated for reasonableness. The Task Order pricing should include all associated costs for requested work. Award may be made to other than the lowest price offer based on timeframes and past performance.

2.

Timeframe – Each Request for Task Order Pricing will include a government requested period of performance. Alternate timeframes for each individual task order may be suggested by the Contractor if unable to meet the government requested period of performance.

3.

Past Performance - Performance on earlier task orders will be evaluated for quality and timeliness. This is a critical factor not only for each task order but also as consideration to exercise the option periods. Positive past performance will assure continued ability to receive task orders.

c. Once an award decision is made, the Contracting Officer will email the awarded task order to the successful Contractor and the COR. Work shall not begin until a pre-work meeting is held and a Notice to Proceed is issued. Each task order will include:

1. The Contract Number

2. The Task Order Number or Name

3. Authorized signature of warranted Contracting Officer

4. Detailed description of the task or service to be performed.

5. Firm fixed price of the project.
