STATEMENT OF WORK,

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE, AND CONTINUED PERFORMANCE

A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

One Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) will be awarded for repairs, renovations, environmental abatement, and minor alterations to existing facilities and/or infrastructure such as roads, parking, drainage system and utility systems in accordance with the scope of work and applicable specifications at the time of task order issuance. Task Orders shall be based on individual projects. This is a SATOC that encompasses a broad range of scope that is primarily construction in nature but may contain ancillary maintenance activities.

During the contract period, the facility staff will identify projects for Task Orders that will be issued by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer has the right to withdraw proposed Task Orders before and after the receipt of the Contractor’s proposal for the requested Task Orders.

The SATOC Contractor will furnish all necessary qualified personnel, supervision, material, equipment and services to perform the tasks in the Statement of Work prepared specifically for each Task Order.

The acquisition will be set-aside for competition among Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSBs) concerns. The NAICS code for this procurement will be 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and the small business standard is $36.5 million.

The Government intends to award one contract; however, the government reserves the right to award two or more SATOCs if in the best interests of the Government. Contractors should have a staffed office within the surrounding local commuting area, as routine travel costs will not be accepted at the task order level. Contractors are required to respond to any emergency situation within a 2-hour window of being contacted.

In accordance with 5 CFR 351.203 Local commuting area is defined as the geographic area that usually constitutes one area for employment purposes. It includes any population center (or two or more neighboring ones) and the surrounding localities in which people live and can reasonably be expected to travel back and forth daily to their usual employment.

B. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE AND IDIQ VALUE:

The contract will be awarded as one 5-year base ID/IQ with no option periods. Task Orders shall be based on individual projects. The majority of the Task Orders will be awarded between $15,000 and $75,000 with a Task Order ceiling of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The contract capacity will not exceed $6,500,000.00 across the life of the contract.

The guaranteed minimum contract value of this contract is $2,000 over the entire life of the contract.

C. MAINTAINING CONTINUED PERFORMANCE

In order to be considered eligible for continued contract ordering, the Contractor must maintain continued satisfactory performance as assessed by the DVA technical personnel and/or current Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) reports. Failure to maintain satisfactory performance will result in a termination of all future option years and Task Order awards.
