Contracting Officer, whether or not acting within the limits of his or her authority, or any other representatives of the Government, shall constitute a change order under the “Changes” clause of this contract or entitle the contractor(s) to an equitable adjustment of the price or delivery schedule, unless a change is issued in writing and signed by the Contracting Officer.

7.0 ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR COMPETITIVE TASK ORDERS

7.1 Task Order Proposal Request (TOPR) projects may be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design, may be complex construction requiring design development for design-build construction, or a combination thereof. In rare cases, the TOPR may not have traditional plans and specifications as described herein but may include sketches, and requests for catalog cuts, and other submittals. When complete plans and specifications are not provided the VA Master Specifications PG-18-1 which, can be found at Technical Information Library (TIL) - Office of Construction & Facilities Management (va.gov), will apply for elements of work not addressed by a project specific specification. For more information regarding TOPRs, see paragraph “Proposal Preparation.”

7.2 Projects may require full design-build efforts to include professional A/E services. The request will include information such as a statement of work, guide specifications, drawings, attachments, and information pertaining to a site visit; evaluation criteria, design requirements for design-build projects and any other requirements for submission (e.g. proposal requirements, price schedule, etc.). Performance and Payment bonds shall be required for Task Orders, in accordance with performance and payment bonds and alternative payment protections for construction contracts.

The basis of award will be a conforming offer, the price or cost of which may or may not be the lowest. The basis for award of each task order will be stated in the RFQ/RFP/bid invitation.

7.3 Procedures for design-build projects: An RFQ/RFP may be issued with the amount of funds available for design and construction along with, but not limited to, a Statement of Work, Design Criteria and /or project Book, or concept design. A two-step process in accordance with FAR 36.3 shall be followed. The MACC contractors may be requested to submit a concept design/proposal in Phase-one. After the first proposal submission the most highly qualified firms will be asked to submit phase-two proposals. Task Order will be issued with a firm fixed price for design and construction. It is the MACC Contractor’s responsibility to design the project so that it can be constructed within the fixed price contract value. Failure to do so is at the Contractor’s risk.

Contractors may be required to compete the design among subcontractors and submit a detailed proposal for construction (e.g. breakdowns for labor, equipment, and materials).

7.4 Cost proposals for TOPRs will include a price schedule and may require a construction cost estimate breakdown. In addition, the TOPR may include, but is not limited to, the following as applicable, based on the level of design required:

o Any available as-built drawings, specifications, or design information.

o Design calculations requirements in addition to those listed in the design level paragraphs.

o Construction drawing requirements including professional certifications.

o Timeframes for preparing the proposal, completing design work, and completing construction and closeout.

o Submittal requirements.

7.5 Contractors shall be required to furnish all project management, planning, estimating, labor, transportation, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, design if applicable, and all other associated costs necessary to fulfill the requirement specified in each TOPR.

7.6 The Contractor WILL NOT be reimbursed for proposal preparation, attendance during negotiations, site visits, walk-through or other pre-Task Order costs.

7.7 Occasionally the Government will solicit offers for projects for which funds are not certified nor readily available. Submission of proposals for these acquisitions is at the sole discretion of the respective MACC awardees and their declination to participate in any or all such solicitations will not reflect negatively upon them.

8.0 TASK ORDER (TO) COMPETITION

8.1 Fair Opportunity to compete for TOs shall be provided, in accordance with FAR 16.505.

8.2 Upon receipt of a TOPR, contractors shall be encouraged to participate in site visits and submit proposals. Failure by Offerors to propose on more than three (3) FORP through the course of the contract may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract or exclusion of the Contractor from further competition.in site visits and submit proposals.

8.3 Contractors are urged to attend site visits scheduled by Contracting, as identified on TOPRs. (See Contract FAR Clauses 52.236-2, Differing Site Conditions, and 52.236-3, Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work).

8.4 Failure to attend site visits may not be used as an excuse for omission or miscalculation in proposals and may be taken into consideration in determining a contractor’s eligibility to participate in future Task Orders.

8.5 Contractors are highly encouraged to inspect project job sites with Government representatives prior to proposal submissions for individual projects. Any deficiencies, conflicts, or other areas of concern existing in the scope of work and/or applicable drawings should be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer in writing. The contractor shall also notify the Contracting Officer upon observing any features in the design that appear to be ambiguous, confusing, conflicting or erroneous.

8.6 The government shall reserve the right to issue orders non-competitively for projects involving exigent or extraordinary circumstances that threaten patient safety, or which may be necessary to mitigate damage to VA facilities or other real property. Orders may also be issued non-competitively to satisfy the minimum guarantee.

8.7 If the order does not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), the contracting officer need not contact each of the multiple awardees under the contract before selecting an order awardee. The contracting officer has the discretion to review available information when selecting an awardee for an order under the SAT and this shall constitute fair opportunity. For example, the contracting officer may review MACC awardee capability statements and choose to get quotes only from those multiple awardees that have specialized experience related to the requirement.

8.8 If the Contractor believes it was not fairly considered for a particular task order, the Contractor may present the matter to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor may appeal the explanation or Contracting Officer’s decision to the corresponding Ombudsman for the agency, or region. The Ombudsman will review the Contractor’s complaint, and in coordination with the Contracting Officer, ensure that the Contractor was afforded fair opportunity to be considered for a Task Order.

9.0 PROPOSAL PREPARATION

9.1 A TOPR issued under this contract shall, except in rare cases, be issued to all contractors and will, at a minimum, include a SOO/SOW defining the project requirements. Costs for preparation of proposals and pre-award activities shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor.

9.2 Deviations and Alternate Proposals. Offerors shall specifically identify all deviations from the minimum RFQ/RFP requirements in a cover letter in a section entitled "Alternate Proposal” or “Deviations." This requirement applies for all proposal revisions and Final Proposal Revisions.

Proposed alternates/deviations shall specifically address in detail the alternate and rationale for proposing. Alternate solutions and deviations shall include separate pricing information. If an alternate/deviation is proposed, the work as specified in the solicitation must also be priced, and all proposed alternates shall be specifically addressed and expanded upon in the proposal submissions to include separate pricing information.

10.0 PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

10.1 Proposals received in the TOPR format will be evaluated based on compliance with the TOPR requirements and the proposed price. The TOPR shall indicate the minimum requirements that must be met for a proposal to be considered technically acceptable. Evaluations may be conducted on any basis including but not limited to pass/fail, tradeoff, comparative analysis, performance-price tradeoff, requests for bid, or price only. The type of evaluation criteria shall normally relate to the complexity of the requirement but will be at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

10.2 For the purpose of initial evaluations of offers proposed for individual Task Orders, the following will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of pricing schedule as submitted by the Offeror: (1) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected; (2) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price will govern; (3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected; (4) Apparent errors in addition of lump-sum and extended prices will be corrected.

10.3 For purposes of price evaluation, the Government will proceed on the assumption that the Offeror intends the proposed price to be evaluated on basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above.

11.0 TASK ORDER (TO) AWARD DECISION

11.1 To the maximum extent practicable, award of task orders shall be made without discussions.

Contracting Officers reserve the right to limit the number of proposals received in response to an order RFQ/RFP/bid to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

11.2 If exchanges are required, each MACC contractor will be requested to provide a final proposal revision, unless eliminated from exchanges through the establishment of a competitive range.

11.3 If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

11.4 Task Order award will be made based on the best value to the Government in accordance with the criteria described in the RFQ/RFP/bid. When price is the only factor considered, award will be based on the lowest reasonable price received. Proposals unrealistically high or low in price, when compared to the Government estimate, and market conditions evidenced by other competitive proposals received, may be indicative of an inherent lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in proposal rejection without discussion.

12.0 TASK ORDER (TO) ISSUANCE PROCEDURES

12.1 Work under the MACC contract will be ordered by written TO to the contractor by the

Contracting Officer. The individual TOs will be placed in a sequential numbering system, which relate back to the contractor’s basic MACC contract.

12.2 The Government will not be obligated to reimburse the contractor for work performed, items delivered, or any costs incurred, nor shall the contractor be obligated to perform, deliver, or otherwise incur costs except as authorized by executed TOs.

12.3 TOs will clearly define the specific services to be performed or the performance desired. Each TO is subject to the terms and conditions of the MACC contract. In the event of a conflict between the TO and the MACC contract the contract shall take precedence. The specifications may be adjusted as needed in the individual TO solicitation. Such alterations shall apply only to the individual TO in which they are contained and shall not be interpreted as replacing or removing requirements from the basic contract specifications for any prior, current, or future TO.

12.4 Task orders shall be issued using the Standard Form (SF) 1442, or other authorized VA forms where appropriate. Orders will be issued electronically via e-mail, telephone, or any other authorized electronic means.

12.5 All orders issued from the MACC basic contract shall be Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and individually funded.

13.0 PROTESTS

13.1 In accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(10), NO protest shall be authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of an order under task-order Contract, except for a protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract.

13.2 FAR 33.1 defines a “Protest” as written objection by an interested party to any of the following:

(1) A solicitation or other request by an agency for offers for a contract for the procurement of property or services.

(2) The cancellation of the solicitation or other request.

(3) An award or proposed award of the contract.

(4) A termination or cancellation of an award of the contract, if the written objection contains an allegation that the termination or cancellation is based in whole or in part on improprieties concerning the award of the contract.

14.0 OMBUDSMAN

14.1 The task order contract and delivery order ombudsman for VA is the Associate Executive

Director for Procurement Policy, Systems and Oversight per VAAR 816.505—Ordering and as described in FAR 16.505 (b)(6). Interested parties may obtain the name, telephone number, facsimile number, and e-mail address of the current Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Procurement Policy, Systems and Oversight by contacting: The Office of Acquisitions and Logistics, 810 Vermont Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20420.

15.0 COMMENCEMENT OF WORK

15.1 No work under this contract shall commence until such a time as the Contracting Officer issues a written TO and a Notice to Proceed (NTP). The Contracting Officer reserves the right to determine the issue date of any Task Order NTP.

16.0 OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITY ON TASK ORDERS (TO)

16.1 The Government may elect to make certain tasks option items. In this case, the Government may increase the quantity of work awarded on individual orders by unilaterally exercising option item(s) within the period specified in the order. In the event the option is not exercised within the time period specified in the order, the parties may agree via a bi-lateral agreement to the option(s) provided that the exercising of said option(s) will not increase the contract performance period.

Any option herein shall be considered to have been exercised at the time the Government deposits written notification to the Contractor in the mail, provides by facsimile, or electronic mail.

17.0 TASK ORDER (TO) PERFORMANCE PERIOD

17.1 Specific periods of performance will be identified in each individual TO and accompanying

TOPR. FAR 52.211-10, Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work shall be incorporated into each TO identifying the construction schedule. The Government reserves the right to negotiate a performance period or impose a performance period for each TO.

17.2 For design phase of task orders (as applicable): The Contracting Officer shall issue a Notice to Proceed (NTP) in order to commence the first design phase. The performance period for the design segment of work starts after the receipt of the Notice to Proceed for Design. After approval of each design level, the Contracting Officer will issue a NTP for the contractor to proceed to the next design level. The Government review time for each design level is included in the total design period of performance. When a design submission is disapproved, the contractor shall provide necessary corrections and resubmit. The resubmission time does not automatically extend the design period of performance.

17.3 For construction phase of task orders (as applicable): Prior to issuing the Notice to Proceed (NTP), the contractor shall submit bonds, safety plan, fire safety plan, infection control plan, security plan, insurance certificates, draft schedule, and any other documents specified in the TOPR. The performance period for the construction portion of a TO starts after receipt of the Notice to Proceed for Construction. This period of performance for construction includes, but is not limited to, completion of project, all punch-list items, final clean-up, review and acceptance of all deliverables (As-built drawings, O&M manuals, warranties, etc.). The Government review time for as-built drawings, manuals and warranties is included in the performance period and specific timeframes will be listed in the TO. If there is no design required, only one NTP will be issued for construction.

18.0 AMBIGUITY / CONTRACT INTERPRETATION

18.1 This written contract and any and all identified writings or documents incorporated by reference herein or physically attached hereto constitute the parties’ complete agreement and no other prior or contemporaneous agreements either written or oral shall be considered to change, modify or contradict it. Any ambiguity in the contract will not be strictly construed against the drafter of the contract language but shall be resolved by applying the most reasonable interpretation under the circumstances, giving full consideration to the intentions of the parties at the time of contracting.

18.2 It shall be the obligation of the Contractor to exercise due diligence to discover and to bring to the attention of the Contracting Officer at the earliest possible time any ambiguities, discrepancies, inconsistencies, or conflicts in or between the specifications and the applicable drawings or other documents incorporated by reference herein. Failure to comply with all obligations shall be deemed a waiver and release of any and all claims for extra costs or delays arising out of such ambiguities, discrepancies, inconsistencies, and conflicts.

19.0 KEY PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS

19.1 Certain skilled experienced professional and/or technical personnel are essential for successful contractor accomplishment of the work to be performed under each task order. "Key Personnel" are those persons whose resumes may be evaluated as part of a TOPR. The contractor agrees that such personnel shall not be removed from the task order work without prior approval from the Contracting Officer. If an individual is no longer able to work on the task order for which they are designated as “key personnel”, the contractor shall promptly replace such personnel with personnel of at least substantially equal ability and qualifications. All requests for approval of substitutions must be in writing and provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions. The request must contain a complete resume for the proposed substitute, and any other information requested by the Contracting Officer to approve the proposed substitution.

19.2 If the Contracting Officer determines that suitable and timely replacement of key personnel who have been reassigned, terminated or have otherwise become unavailable for the contract work is not reasonably forthcoming or that the resultant reduction of productive effort would be so substantial as to impair the successful completion of the task order, the task order may be terminated by the Contracting Officer for default or for the convenience of the Government, as appropriate, or, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer if it is found the contractor to be at fault for the condition, the contract price or fixed fee may be equitably adjusted downward to compensate the Government for any resultant delay, loss, or damage.

20.0 LAYING OUT WORK

20.1 Field Dimensions: Any drawings and specifications that may accompany each TO indicate generally the design and arrangement of all apparatus, fixtures, accessories, etc., necessary to complete the work required. The exact location or arrangement of equipment is subject to minor changes necessitated by field conditions and shall be made as required without additional cost to the Government. Measurements shall be verified by actual observations at the construction site, and the Contractor shall be responsible for all work fitting into place in a satisfactory and competent manner meeting the approval of the Contracting Officer.

21.0 REPORT OF ERROR AND DISCREPANCIES

21.1 Contractors shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of any discrepancies. Any proposed changes to the specifications by the Contractor must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer for…
