I. Project Information

I.A. Project Summary

The anticipated awarded construction IDIQ contracts for repair and alteration (R&A) services that includes design-build will be for five geographic Zones within the Rocky Mountain Region of the United States, which includes but is not limited to the states of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. The Zones are as follows:

● Zone 1 - Colorado & Wyoming

● Zone 2 - Montana

● Zone 3 - North Dakota

● Zone 4 - South Dakota

● Zone 5 - Utah

The services will be procured under NAICS code 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and the small business size standard is $45.0 million.

The contractor shall provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment to perform some or all of the typical services listed below:

● General Contractor and design-build work based on the order requirements.

● Construction in accordance with the specifications, drawings, and the provisions of the contract.

● Design capability in the form of, but not limited to, drawings or sketches to describe proposed new construction, and repair and alteration projects and to provide descriptions or specifications for proposed materials or equipment.

● Modifications to and new architectural components including but not limited to ceilings, walls, floors (including access floor systems), roofing systems, millwork, and wall coverings, including conformance with Historic Preservation requirements.

● Modifications to and replacement of mechanical systems to include but not limited to air handling units, chillers, boilers, ductwork systems and accessories.

● Modifications to and replacement of electrical systems to include but not limited to lighting systems, primary and secondary power distribution systems and transformers, fire alarm systems, and low-voltage systems.

● Modifications to and replacement of piping/plumbing systems including pumps, HVAC system controls, fire protection sprinkler systems/accessories, and plumbing equipment/accessories. . Special competencies for any work involving membrane roofing, asbestos abatement, lead-based paint abatement, and other types of hazardous material abatement, and/or elevator work. . Planning, scheduling, coordinating and assuring effective performance of all construction and design.

● Modification and replacement of facility systems and structures at land ports of entry.

Typical services will be performed for various federally-owned and leased facilities, including, but not limited to, courthouses, federal office buildings, and land ports of entry, parking lots, canopies, gates and fencing, plazas, courtyards, garages, pedestrian and vehicle traffic appurtenances, inspection facilities, and other facilities, structures, and systems within the identified Zone above under task orders.

The purpose of this contract is to establish terms and conditions upon which the Contractor(s) will perform construction and related services (repairs and alterations, renovations, etc.) within the identified Zone, under task orders issued by the Contracting Officer and Designated Ordering Officials. In addition, some orders may include the requirement to provide design capability in the form of, but not limited to, drawings or sketches to describe proposed repair and alteration projects and to provide descriptions or specifications for proposed materials or equipment. The Contractor(s), in these instances, will be responsible for obtaining assistance from registered professional architects and/or engineers or other professionals as needed or as required in the Scope of Work for a proposed order. In the event that architect-engineer services are required, the contractor may be required to secure the services of an architect-engineer contractor to provide the following but not limited to: architectural, structural, civil, fire/life safety, cost estimating, mechanical, and electrical engineering services associated with design concepts, working drawings and specifications, shop drawings, material and related documents review.

The type of contracts being used for the above services will be Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contracts. The term of the contracts will be for one base year with four one-year options. The estimated maximum limitation for all task orders for all contracts across all zones is $500,000,000. The guaranteed minimum of $2,500.00 for each contract shall be deobligated if the vendor receives a task order within base year. Work under these contracts shall be authorized by issuance of one or more task order(s). The awardees shall perform work included in approved task order(s) not to exceed the maximum zonal contract limit. It is anticipated that most U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) projects will range between $50,000.00 to $350,000.00, but there is no minimum or maximum per order.

In instances where a solicited task order generates insufficient interest within its designated zone, GSA maintains the authority to invite competition from vendors located in other zones under this contract.

7. CUI security incidents. All improper disclosures or receipt of CUI building information must be immediately reported to the CO and the GSA Incident Response Team Center at gsa-ir@gsa.gov. If the contract provides for progress payments, the CO may withhold approval of progress payments until the contractor provides a corrective action plan mailto:gsa-ir@gsa.gov explaining how the contractor will prevent future improper disclosures of CUI building information. Progress payments may also be withheld for failure to comply with any provision in this clause until the contractor provides a corrective action plan explaining how the contractor will rectify any noncompliance and comply with the clause in the future.

8. Subcontracts. The contractor and subcontractors must insert the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.

[End of clause]

III.H. Non-Compliance with Contract Requirements In the event the Contractor, after receiving written notice from the Contracting Officer of non-compliance with any requirement of this Contract, fails to initiate promptly such action as may be appropriate to comply with the specified requirement within a reasonable period of time, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to order the Contractor to stop any or all work under the Contract until the Contractor has complied or has initiated such action as may be appropriate to comply within a reasonable period of time. The Contractor will not be entitled to any extension of Contract time or payment for any costs incurred as a result of being ordered to stop work for such cause.

III.I. Requirements for GSA Information Systems - Not Applicable

III.J. Options and Allowances The base contract includes four 1-year options.

FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services (NOV 1999) Option to Extend Services - The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and the rates specified in the contract. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of the performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor no less than 30 days prior to the completion of the period of performance.

III.K. Commencement, Prosecutions and Completion of Work GSAR 552.211-10, Commencement, Prosecution and Completion of Work is supplemented as follows:

The Contractor shall diligently prosecute the Work so as to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work, as defined in GSAR 552.211-70 Substantial Completion (Mar 2019) and the time specified for each task order, “Period of Performance” clause. If the Contract specifies different completion dates for different phases or portions of the

Work, the Contractor shall diligently prosecute the Work so as to achieve Substantial Completion of such phases or portions of the Work within the times specified.

III.L. Additional Terms and Conditions

(i) On-Ramping and Off-Ramping Consistent with RFO FAR 16.504-4, GSA has determined that it is in the Government’s best interest that at all times during the term of the IDIQ Contract, there remain an adequate number of contractors eligible to compete for Task Orders. Over time, the total number of contractors may fluctuate due to various reasons including industry consolidation, significant changes in the marketplace or advances in technology, general economic conditions, the Government's exercise of the off-ramp process, or other reasons.

Recognizing this, every year or on an as-needed basis, GSA intends to review the total number of IDIQ contractors participating at the Task Order level and determine whether it would be in the Government’s best interest to initiate on-ramping to add new IDIQ contractors to one or more of the Geographic Zones.

The basis of the competition during on-ramping may rely upon the same methodology as in the original solicitation. However, GSA reserves the right to update the evaluation criteria with consideration to market conditions, the utility of the criteria, and the specific needs being sought through the on-ramping event.

The Government may implement technical refreshment of the scope and/or the labor categories consistent with the appropriate changes clause in order to improve performance or react to changes in technology, market changes, innovative processes, or techniques, for example.

Off-ramping provides flexibility to remove contractors that are no longer providing value because they are not actively competing for orders, no longer provide the innovative solutions desired, no longer providing satisfactory services or performance, or for other reasons.

GSA reserves the unilateral right to off-ramp contractors who are no longer needed to meet program objectives. Contractors may be off-ramped from new work even while continuing current work. Off-ramping methods may result from one of the following conditions:

A. Not exercising a contractor’s option B. GSA no longer having a requirement appropriate to the contractor’s skills, talents, size, or socio-economic status C. Debarment, Suspension, or Ineligibility as defined in FAR Subpart 9.4.

D. Termination as defined in FAR Part 49.

E. Failure to meet the standards of performance, deliverables, or compliances.

F. Taking any other action which may be permitted under the Master Contract’s terms and conditions.

E. If requested by the awardee.

The use of on-ramping and off-ramping is a discretionary unilateral authority of the Government.

The initial IDIQ contract awards will establish the periods of performance; any additional contracts awarded after the initial contracts will have the same period of performance and ultimate potential expiration date as the existing contracts.

(ii) Scalability and Ceiling Adjustments for Increasing Requirements

(a) Purpose and Anticipation of Requirements

Although the Maximum Ordering Limit (MOL) established in this contract represents a baseline for the anticipated maximum needs under the IDIQ contract at the time of award, the Government anticipates that during the period of performance, requirements for construction services for the geographic area of the IDIQ contract may significantly expand due to evolving mission needs, legislative mandates, or shifts in national priorities and available resources.

(b) Unilateral Right to Increase Maximum Order Limit

The Government reserves the unilateral right to increase the Master Contract MOL by up to 25% of the total aggregate amount, provided the following conditions are met:

1. The additional requirements to be fulfilled under the increased ceiling are within the general scope of the services and supplies defined by the contract;

2. The Contracting Officer determines that a programmatic need exists that requires capacity beyond the current MOL; and

3. The Contracting Officer issues a formal modification to the IDIQ contract specifically citing this contract term as the authority for the MOL increase before any task orders exceeding the original MOL are awarded.

Any such increase in the MOL under this contract term is considered to have been contemplated by the parties and competed as part of the original solicitation.

(c) No Obligation to Order

This contract term does not obligate the Government to increase the MOL or to place any orders beyond the minimum guarantee stated in the solicitation.

(iii) GSAR 552.236-74, Evaluation of Options (MAR 2019)

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(End of provision)

(iv) GSAR 552.236-77, Government’s Right to Exercise Options (MAR 2019) (a)The Government may exercise any option in writing in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract within Enter value: 90. Unless otherwise specified, options may be exercised within 90 calendar days of contract award.

(b)If the Government exercises the option, the contract shall be considered to include this option clause.

(End of clause)
