SECTION A

INTRODUCTION AND

SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), United States Coast Guard (USCG), Program Executive Office (PEO) - Shore Infrastructure (CG-SHORE) Contracting Office, has determined the need to re-procure a suite of up to ten Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Regional Multiple Award Construction Contracts (RMACCs) to perform construction on a regional basis nationwide. The contracts will be available on a non-mandatory, enterprise-wide basis to all DHS Directorates and Components. The DHS Components include United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS), United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Coast Guard (USCG), Federal Emergency and Management Agency (FEMA), Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and United States Secret Service (USSS).

The contracts will meet the majority of the DHS infrastructure needs for maintenance, repair, and construction for all projects with a maximum value, as determined by each RMACC $10M and possibly up to $20M in Artic District within the 50 United States and its territories. These contracts are intended to provide prompt responses on an as-needed basis for routine and emergent requirements. The contracts offer a streamlined approach to construction contracting and ongoing competition between qualified contractors.

The scope of work will include real property repairs, maintenance, and general construction, marine construction, demolition, historical restoration, and remediation. Facilities include, but are not limited to, operations buildings, hangars, boat houses, firing ranges, residential and light commercial buildings and their mechanical and electrical systems, site utilities, waterfront facilities, electronic surveillance/security construction, dredging, and airports/runways. Design- Build including One-Step Turnkey, and Design/Bid/Build project or other delivery methods will be used.

Each of the resulting contracts will be aligned with a specific geographical region corresponding to Coast Guard Districts. A map of the Coast Guard Districts has been provided in the files accompanying this notice. A separate contract will cover the United States territories within the Region of Caribbean and Puerto Rico (Contract Region 7.5) which is a part of Coast Guard District 7. Contract Regions 11 and 13 will be combined as they were on the predecessor RMACC. A regional map is depicted below:

Note renamed Districts as follows:

Identification in RFP* Previous Name July 2025 Name Change Region 1 District 1 USCG Northeast District Region 5 District 5 USCG East District

Region 7/7.5 District 7/7.5 USCG Southeast District** Region 8 District 8 USCG Heartland District Region 9 District 9 USCG Great Lakes District Region 11 District 11 USCG Southwest District Region 13 District 13 USCG Northwest District Region 14 District 14 USCG Oceania District Region 17 District 17 USCG Arctic District

*For the purposes of this solicitation, the Districts will be referred to as Region and by Number. Task orders may include the July 2025 name change.

The Coast Guard has six different Civil Engineering Units (CEUs). Each of the CEUs is aligned with one or two of the Coast Guard Districts. Each CEU will award and administer the contracts for the regions that correspond with the District(s) to which they are aligned. After the contract award, the ordering authority and ordering procedures will be provided to all DHS components.

All contract awards will be based on a single solicitation. The solicitation will prescribe phased proposal due dates for each regional contract. Offerors will submit a separate proposal for each regional contract to the CEU assigned to conduct the procurement. The terms and ordering procedures of each contract will be uniform among the resulting contracts, in the manner of promoting a standardized method of delivery. The evaluation factors for each region will be uniform and a single source selection authority will take responsibility for all contract awards that stem from the solicitation; but separate source selection teams will be formed to evaluate each regional contract.

Pre-proposal inquiries will be reviewed programmatically, and any amendments will be issued to the solicitation as required. Any protests received after close of the solicitation will be directed in a manner to allow ongoing efforts to continue, where possible. For instance, in the case of a protest related to a specific regional contract, it is our intention to resolve these matters at the regional contract level, in order to isolate any delays to the regional contract that is under protest.

In essence, each regional award decision will be considered a separate source selection.

Each Regional Multiple Award Construction Contract is set aside for contractors in one or more small business socioeconomic programs. Each of the contracts will include a three-year (3) base period and two (2) two-year (2) option periods. Task order limits generally range from $2,000 to $10M for Regions 1, 5, 7, 7.5, 8. 9. 11/13 and 14; Region 17 task order limits are $2,000 to $20M. As previously noted, ordering authority will be available to any Department of Homeland Security components with appropriate construction warrant authority. The minimum guarantee for each individual contract will be $5,000. The anticipated aggregate capacity for new regional RMACCs is $4 Billion. Approximately ten individual contracts (individual contractors) are anticipated for each region.

Following is a table showing the CEU assignment and the socioeconomic program set aside:

SECTION C

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

C.1. Scope of Work

This DHS-wide contract is intended to provide prompt response on an as-needed basis for regional routine and emergency construction services nationwide. This DHS-wide multiple award contract will meet the majority of DHS’s infrastructure needs for maintenance, repair, and construction for projects with a value up to $10M regions 1, 5, 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 11/13 & 14 and up to $20M in region 17 within the 50 United States and its territories. This contract is a re-compete of the current Regional Multiple Award Construction Contract (RMACC II). The multiple award contract offers a streamlined approach to construction contracting and ongoing competition between qualified contractors. The RMACC is set aside for contractors in one or more of the following small business socioeconomic programs: Total Small Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone), certified Small Disadvantaged Businesses under the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Program, or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).

The project delivery methods include Design-Build, including One-Step Turnkey, and Design/Bid/Build. The scope of work will include real property repairs, maintenance, and general construction, marine construction, demolition, historical restoration, and remediation.

Facilities include, but are not limited to, operations buildings, hangars, boat houses, firing ranges, residential and light commercial buildings and their mechanical and electrical systems, site utilities, waterfront facilities, electronic surveillance/security construction, dredging, and airports/runways.

The contract awardees under this procurement shall be able to provide all necessary personnel, facilities, equipment, and materials for multiple and concurrent task orders within the respective regions across the United States and its territories. The contract awardees shall provide these construction services across the entire awarded region at all USCG installations, across all urban and remote locations. The firm shall ensure that all activities performed by its personnel, subcontractors and suppliers are executed as required in compliance with all applicable environmental and safety laws and regulations and will meet all relevant, appropriate, and applicable standards. Specific requirements will be detailed in each task order general requirements, specifications, and drawings. The description of these requirements will vary for each acquisition dependent upon the needs of the requiring entity. Projects will include a variety of assignments involving the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Components within DHS.

RMACC contractors should have Design-Build capabilities; however, it should be noted that the Coast Guard is expected to place the majority of orders on the contract and the Coast Guard does not intend to routinely use the RMACC for projects that require complex or collaborative designs that are difficult to forward price, require lengthy review processes, or require significant expense for the presentation of a proposal. Instead, the Coast Guard intends that the majority of the work on the RMACC will utilize the Design/Bid/Build project delivery method or the One- Step (Design-Build) Turnkey delivery method for which the Coast Guard has special statutory authority (See 14 USC 677). The One-Step Turnkey process on this contract will entail selection of a contractor through the fair opportunity process on the basis of price or price in combination with other evaluation criteria to perform, in accordance with the provisions of a firm fixed price contract, both the design and construction of a facility using performance specifications.

When utilizing this process, the Coast Guard will be sensitive to any advanced design costs necessary to offer a proposal and will attempt to minimize or eliminate these costs by restricting the One-Step Turnkey process to only non-complex design that can be easily coordinated between the contractor and designer and approved through a contract submittal process.

The intent of this contract is that all RMACC Contractors participate in pre-proposal conferences and site visits and submit proposals for each task order. Contract awardees will be expected to submit a proposal for all Task Order Requests for Proposal (RFP) received from the Government. However, in the event an RMACC awardee is unable to submit a proposal on a particular RFP, the contractor is required to notify, in writing, the Contracting Officer who issued the RFP and the ACO for the basic contract within five (5) working days from receipt of the RFP. The USCG understands Small Business concerns and will consider each notification from awardees declining to propose on a project; however, the Government reserves the right to off-ramp or select to not exercise any option period for a RMACC awardee that does not submit a proposal on three (3) task order RFPs during the course of each year of the contract. It is the onus of the contractor to provide sufficient rationale for declining to propose on a project.

SECTION E

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE CONSTRUCTION

E.1. FAR Clauses by Full Text:

52.246-12 Inspection of Construction (AUG 1996)

(a) Definition. "Work" includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not- Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

Constitute or imply acceptance; or Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge the Contractor for any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may-

By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or Terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.

If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

E.2. Daily Reporting Requirement

The Contractor shall prepare and file a "Contractor's Daily Report", for each day of contract performance. Description must include task order numbers and work being performed. These reports shall be delivered to, or if directed, e-mailed to the USCG Construction Project Manager (CPM) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) on Fridays. The daily report shall include the name of Contractors and Subcontractors on-site, the number of workers and their labor categories employed on- site, the work being performed, the type of equipment on-site, any change order work being performed, and whether the work being performed is on schedule.

Reports shall be numbered, dated and signed by the Contractor or his Project Manager. Failure to submit the daily reports could result in payments being withheld until such time as all daily reports are current.

E.3. Final Inspection

A Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to represent the Contracting Officer and inspect all work under the contract will be designated in writing as needed on an individual task order basis. In no instance is the COR authorized to sign contractual documents, order contract changes, modify contract terms, or create any liability on the part of the Government different from that set forth in the contract.

The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) is authorized to issue Notices regarding non-compliance with contract/task order requirements. Issuing of a Notice of Non-compliance as described herein does not constitute a suspension of work as described in Clause 52.212-12, Suspension of Work.

Contractor Self-Inspection. Prior to the completion date of each task order, the Contractor’s Quality Control Manager shall conduct a self-inspection of the site and document all items needing correction by means of a punch list. The corrected punch list shall be provided to the Contracting Officer’s Representative at the same time the pre-final inspection is requested. All punch list items must be corrected prior to requesting the pre-final inspection.

The Contractor and the Contracting Officer’s Representative will jointly conduct a pre-final inspection prior to requesting a final inspection. Any item needing correction shall be noted on the Pre-Final Inspection Punch List. Any discrepancies noted will be corrected prior to any final inspection. The Contracting Officer Representative may schedule more than one pre-final inspection if he determines it necessary.

When the Contractor is ready for final inspection, they will request final inspection in writing to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). A copy of the Pre-Final Punch List shall be attached to this request with the corrective action taken noted. The final inspection will be requested at least 48 hours before the desired date.

The final inspection shall be performed with the Contractor by the COR, Contracting Officer, Safety Officer, and representatives of the using activity. Any discrepancies noted will be corrected within the time specified in each task order for the completion of work.

Prior to close-out and final payment of each task order, the following are required:

• All submittals. To be submitted as required by each task order and may include product submittals, as- built drawings, manuals, etc.

• All warranties. To be submitted with the request for Final Inspection.

• Contractor’s Release: To be submitted with the Contractor’s final invoice.

SECTION F

DELIVERIES AND PERFORMANCE

F.1 Commencement, Prosecution and Completion of Work

The Contractor shall be required to commence work under this contract within ten calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, prosecute the work diligently, and complete the entire work ready for use not later than the time stated in each individual task order.

The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.

F2. Variation in Estimated Quantity

If the quantity of a unit-priced item in this contract is an estimated quantity and the actual quantity of the unit-priced item varies more than 15 percent above or below the estimated quantity, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment shall be based upon any increase or decrease in costs due solely to the variation above 115 percent or below 85 percent of the estimated quantity. If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for completion, the Contractor may request, in writing, an extension of time, to be received by the Contracting Officer within 10 days from the beginning of the delay, or within such further period as may be granted by the Contracting Officer before the date of final settlement of the contract.

Upon receipt of a written request for an extension, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and make an adjustment for extending the completion date as, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, is justified.

F.3 FAR Clauses

52.211-12 Liquidated Damages - Construction (SEP 2000)

(a) If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, the

Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government in the amount of (each task order may specify the amount of liquidated damages) for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

(b) If the Government terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, liquidated damages will continue to accrue until the work is completed. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause.

52.211-13 Time Extensions (SEP 2000)

Time extensions for contract changes will depend upon the extent, if any, by which the changes cause delay in the completion of the various elements of construction. The change order granting the time extension may provide that the contract completion date will be extended only for those specific elements related to the changed work and that the remaining contract completion dates for all other portions of the work will not be altered. The change order also may provide an equitable readjustment of liquidated damages under the new completion schedule.

52.236-15 Schedules for Construction Contracts (APR 1984)

(a) The Contractor shall, within five days after the work commences on the contract or another period of time determined by the Contracting Officer, prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer for approval three copies of a practicable schedule showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient features of the work (including acquiring materials, plant, and equipment). The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion by any given date during the period. If the Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule.

(b) The Contractor shall enter the actual progress on the chart as directed by the Contracting
