Request/Description of Work

The Government will notify the Contractor(s) in writing of each project (task order) falling under the appropriate activity area. This notification will include an outline of the scope of the project, the project location, the expected results of the completed project, reports or products to be provided (if/as needed), and as much additional pertinent information as possible, including but not limited to a statement of any Government- furnished property, maps, aerial photos, and project files when available and applicable. A project may involve a single task, part of a single task, and/or multiple tasks as described under any one of the activity areas stated in this contract.

Selection Criteria for Awarding Task Orders

The Government will evaluate all task order proposals based on the Best Value Continuum and will include, at a minimum, the following evaluation factors: (1) the Contractors’ technical approach and demonstrated ability to perform the work required by the task order, (2) past performance on completed and on-going task orders, and (3) price. Additional evaluation factors may be included at the Task Order level if/as needed, at the discretion of the Task Order Contracting Officer. Additional information for technical approach, quality control plan, and a safety plan not previously submitted may be requested and evaluated prior to awarding Task Orders. The successful awardee of a task order will be the contractor whose offers represents the best value and is most advantageous to the Government. Single or multiple awards may be issued, as specified in the Task Order solicitation.

Task Order Process

All Task Orders must be awarded by a warranted USFS Contracting Officer. When services are required, a Task Order Proposal Request will be sent to each Awardee of a base contract. If a Fair Opportunity Exception applies, the Task Order Proposal Request will be issued to one contractor. Each Task Order Proposal Request will include, at a minimum, the required due date, specific instructions for the submission for offers, evaluation factors, and other information deemed appropriate by the Task Order Contracting Officer.

All contractors receiving a Task Order Proposal Request are required to respond. Negative replies are required, which shall include a rationale for non-submittal.

Awardees under the contract will generally be allowed 10 working days to prepare and submit proposals.

However, more or less time may be necessary based on the complexity of the requirement.

All Task Orders will be issued on a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) basis with a signed SF-1449 issued by the USFS. A Notice to Proceed may be issued verbally (if necessary) or in writing upon award of the Task Order. Any verbal Notices to Proceed will be followed by written notification from the Contracting Officer.

Designation of Contracting Officer’s Representative

The Task Order Contracting Officer will designate a Task Order Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) through a COR Designation Letter that will outline the COR’s duties, responsibilities, and authorities. The COR is responsible for monitoring Contractor performance of services, schedules, and invoicing. The COR will never be designated the authority to make substantial changes to the Parent IDIQ Contract or Task Order; therefore, any changes to the Task Order whether verbal or in writing are not binding for either party until a written modification is signed and executed by the Task Order Contracting Officer.

The COR must be notified as soon as possible of any actions or inactions by either the Government or the Contractor that may change the required completion time stated in the Task Order, any change in field conditions or newly discovered information which would require additional work beyond the approved Task Order work plan(s), or of any other substantial change to the Task Order requirements. The COR will work with the Contracting Officer to modify the Task Order accordingly. No work outside of the Task Order scope may occur unless approval has been provided by the Task Order Contracting Officer.

Any work completed outside of Task Order scope may result in non-payment or cancellation of Task Order.

Fire Plans

As required, Forest Specific Fire Plans for Construction and Service Contracts (06-14-06) will be provided to the Contractor as part of each Task Order request as necessary.

Service Contract Labor Standards Wage Determination:

The applicable Department of Labor Wage Determination will be incorporated in each Task Order IAW the location of Task Order requirement.
