SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES & PRICES / COSTS

1. Contract Definition

The Northwestern Division Regional $115 million Section 8(a) Small Business Set-Aside Environmental Remediation Services (ERS) is an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) issued as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Northwestern Division (NWD) Multiple Environmental Government Acquisition (MEGA) Strategy.

This IDIQ MATOC ERS has been issued under NAICS Code 562910. The Seattle District has a requirement to support the Multiple Environmental Government Acquisition (MEGA) Acquisition Strategy Team to execute environmental remediation services at a number of sites. In response to this and other environmental remediation requirements across the Northwestern Division, Seattle District will award a $115M ERS Contract.

All Task Orders to be awarded under this MATOC will be competed in accordance with (IAW) FAR 16.505(b)(1), Fair Opportunity, and DFARS 216.505-70, Ordering Under Multiple Award Contracts, unless one of the exceptions to fair opportunity at FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i) applies. Task Orders awarded under this MATOC may be Fixed-Price contracts in accordance with FAR Subpart 16.2 or Cost-Reimbursement contracts in accordance with FAR Subpart

16.3. IAW FAR 16.505(b)(1) and DFARS 216.505-70 Task Order selection will be tailored to specific project requirements and awarded IAW pre-established factors and evaluation criteria. Factors may consist of, but not be limited to, the following:

1. Company Experience

2. Performance Confidence

3. Cost/Price

The business goal is to target award of up to five contracts; however, if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines during the source selection process that fewer than that number of contracts should be awarded, the SSA has the discretion of adjusting that number (higher or lower), or awarding none at all.

Please ensure that NAICS code 562910 is incorporated in your current Contract Registration at the System for Award Management (SAM), https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/

Failure to have this NAICS code current in SAM may result in not being considered for the award.

***NOTE***

2. Eligibility

The contract will be awarded only to qualified Section 8(a) small business offerors who are eligible under the requirements of this solicitation.

3. Total Amount of Contract

The total amount of the MATOC with shared capacity among all Contractors awarded contracts under this solicitation shall not exceed $115 million. There is no limit of the number of Task Orders that may be executed against this contract. The cumulative total of all Task Orders issued under the MATOC shall not exceed the total contract capacity amount of $115 million.

4. Guaranteed Contract Amount

The minimum guarantee for the IDIQ is $2,500.

5. Performance Period

Contracts will have a basic ordering period (three (3) years) plus one option period (two (2) years), or until the $115 million contract limit is reached, whichever comes first. This Solicitation also includes FAR 52.217-8, which if necessary, allows the Government to extend the term of the Contract an additional six (6) months. The total length of the contract ordering period, including the exercise of all option periods, will not exceed five years and six months from date of contract award.

6. Pricing

6.1 Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Task Orders.

FFP Task Orders will be for services performed at prices expressly provided for therein and based on the rates proposed by the offeror in the tables below. Profit will be reflected in individual Task Orders issued. The price for each firm-fixed price Task Order shall be based on the hourly rates for labor disciplines proposed by the offeror in the “Binding Capped Labor Rate Schedule” table shown below, and the offeror’s proposed markups for the other direct costs in the tables below. All hourly rates must include Overhead, General/Administrative, Labor Burden Fringes, and any other markups that are included in the offeror’s binding capped burdened rate. All hourly rates must be exclusive of profit. If a discipline is not listed in the Binding Capped Labor Rate Schedule and is required for a specific Task Order, that labor rate will be determined before award of that Task Order. Price/Cost analysis will be performed on firm-fixed priced task orders in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(c) to determine whether the proposed costs are fair and reasonable.

The offeror must submit its proposed rates for all disciplines and years listed in Table 1 below. The capped hourly, fully burdened labor rates proposed will be legally binding and will be the maximum rates that the offeror will use for all firm-fixed price Task Orders. Lower rates may be offered at the Task Order level, if deemed appropriate by the offeror. Offerors must provide one rate per labor discipline, including those provided by subcontractors. The offeror may not have all personnel on staff. Therefore, if those personnel are subcontracted, their rates must be provided in the tables as well. The rates provided per labor discipline must be fully burdened rates, exclusive of profit.

The offeror must only provide the Overhead and G&A rates for the prime, even if the labor disciplines will be performed by the prime or a subcontractor, depending on the Task Order. The subcontractor would be subject to honoring the labor rates stated for the subject labor discipline.

If during the Contract Period of Performance, the Contractor’s original subcontracted personnel are no longer available to the Prime, the Prime must find a subcontractor that has at a minimum, the same qualifications as the previous subcontracted personnel. The Prime must be responsible for negotiating the labor rates for those personnel that have been provided in this Solicitation. Those rates provided in Section B, Table 1 are the maximum that will be paid by the Government for any replacement personnel.

In Table 2 (Rates/Markups) below, offerors must show the breakout of all rates and markups that are incorporated into the binding capped burdened labor rates proposed by the offeror in Table 1.

The applicable capped labor rates shall be governed by the effective date of the Task Order. Task Orders will use the prices for the 12-month period effective on the date the Task Order is issued. Modifications to Task Orders will reflect the rates of the "current 12-month" bid schedule. For example, if the rate schedule changes over on 1 November of each year, and a Task Order is issued on 1 Sep 2018 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 Nov 2017. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to this Task Order is required in December 2018, labor rates effective on 1 Nov 2018 will apply.

2. The rates/markups provided in Table 2 are a breakout of the rates/markups incorporated into the binding capped burdened rates proposed by the offeror in Table 1. Escalation rates should be consistent with binding capped burdened rates in Table 1.

3. For any mark-up that is not considered as Overhead or G&A, please provide the markups along with documentation that the mark-up is part of your company’s standard accounting practices (examples:

computer usage fees, Facilities Capital Cost of Money).

6.2 Cost Reimbursable Type Task Orders

Cost reimbursable type Task Orders will be issued for project services based on allowable incurred costs for best effort on the part of the Contractor. For cost reimbursement type Task Orders, the Contractor must use DCAA/DCMA approved forward pricing, actual rates for individuals performing work if the offeror does not have DCAA/DCMA approved forward pricing rates, or third party audited rates. Cost realism analyses will be performed on cost-reimbursement task orders in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(d) to determine whether the estimated proposed cost elements are realistic for the work to be performed; reflect a clear understanding of the requirements;

and are consistent with the unique methods of performance and materials described in the offeror’s technical proposal. The Government reserves the right to request additional data other than certified cost or pricing data in order to determine the prices are fair and reasonable.

The Contractor must have an accounting system that is in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), if applicable. In accordance with FAR 16.301-3, the Contractor’s accounting system must be determined adequate for tracking costs for cost reimbursable work.

Therefore, in order to be awarded a cost reimbursable Task Order under this contract the offeror must have an accounting system that is adequate for tracking costs under cost reimbursable contracts. See Section L, paragraph

4.2.3 for further details.

6.3 Profit/Fee on Firm Fixed Price and Cost Reimbursable Task Orders

Profit will be negotiated for each task order. Offerors must propose a maximum profit rate (for firm fixed price work) and a maximum fixed fee rate (for the project-specific cost reimbursable work) in Table 3. The proposed maximum profit rate will be legally binding and will be the maximum profit rate the offeror will be allowed to propose for all firm fixed price work performed under this contract. The proposed maximum fixed fee rate will be legally binding and will be the maximum fixed fee rate the offeror will be allowed to propose for all cost reimbursable work performed under the Task Order. Lower rates may be proposed on subsequent Task Orders/Modifications. Profit and fee will be negotiated on an individual Task Order and modification basis.

Table 3. Maximum Profit and Fee Rates

Maximum Fixed Fee Rate (Cost Reimbursable Work) Maximum Profit Rate (Firm Fixed Price Work)

Note: Offerors must propose a single rate in Table 3. Do not propose separate maximum rates for subcontractors or Joint Venture partners. Do not submit different maximum rates for self-performed work and subcontracted work.

7. Department of Labor Wage Rates

For individual Task Orders written against the contract, the appropriate Department of Labor Wage Determination will be provided.

8. Travel

The Contractor must perform all travel and attend all meetings necessary for completion of the work required by the Task Orders. Any travel necessary to complete work activities must be included in the agreed work for each task order. Cost of travel expenses must be consistent with FAR 31.205-46 Travel Costs. No fee or profit will be paid on travel.

It is the option of the Contracting Officer to require a site inspection with a representative of the Contractor before the negotiation of the Task Order/price.

1.6 Description of Task Order: The Contracting Officer or their authorized representative will provide the

Contractor with a Scope of Work or a Performance Work Statement for work or service required. Non-performance based Task Orders will be issued against the awarded MATOCs pending the required approval is received in accordance with USACE Acquisition Instruction (UAI) 5137.170-2. The Contractor shall provide the Government with a cost estimate within 30 days of the request unless specifically requested otherwise, depending on the work/Task Order. Task Orders awarded under this MATOC may be Fixed-Price contracts in accordance with FAR Subpart 16.2 or Cost-Reimbursement contracts in accordance with FAR Subpart 16.3.

The Government expects firm-fixed price contracts will be the primary type of task order awarded. For cost contracts valued at $20,000,000 or more, DFARS clause 252.234-7002 Earned Value Management System applies. Optional tasks to be included in an individual Task Order shall be proposed by the Contractor in accordance with FAR Clause 52.236-28, DFARS 252.236-7000 and other applicable sections within the contract. The Contractor's proposal shall be supported by necessary documentation such as drawings, calculations, catalog cuts, specifications, and architectural renderings, to indicate that adequate engineering and planning to accomplish the requirement has been done. Task Orders will be competed among all members of the MATOC pool. All Task Orders will be solicited and competed in accordance with procedures in FAR

16.505. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for the cost of Task Order proposal preparation.

1.7 Cost Reimbursement Task Orders: This section outlines Government policies, procedures, practices, and requirements as it relates to cost reimbursement contracting mechanisms.

1.7.1 General. Cost control is important in cost reimbursement task orders. It is imperative that the Contractor be capable of estimating, budgeting, accounting, and reporting costs by individual funding source as well as work item. In accordance with FAR 16.104(h), the Contractor must be capable to track costs on cost-reimbursable actions. To the extent practical, the Government will attempt to segregate Task Orders or other work authorizations to a sole funding source for administrative convenience. The Contractor shall make available, upon request, supporting documents and provide for physical inspection or demonstration at the appropriate office, of its accounting system capabilities to support cost reimbursement contract accounting needs.

1.7.2 Management Organization, Responsibilities, and Authorities. The objective of cost reimbursement

Task Orders is to obtain the specified work or service on time at the least possible cost. As such, the

Contractor must demonstrate a management team and organization capable of performing its own management and subcontract management effectively and efficiently. Managers identified as key personnel must have the relevant experience and education to perform the possible scope of services. The primary

Government authority under the contract is the Contracting Officer (KO).

Representatives of the Contracting Officer appointed in writing as authorized Contracting Officer's

Representative (COR) or Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) also serve as personnel of authority.

Only the KO or ACO may cause an increase in the contract obligation amount or schedule. Technical direction under a cost reimbursement Task Order may also be made by the COR as long as it does not impact cost or schedule.

1.7.3 Mobilization. Mobilization is a non-recurring cost unique to individual work sites for a given Task Order.

Costs for mobilization will be reimbursed, if incurred, after formal execution of the relevant cost reimbursement Task Order. Mobilization costs prior to formal Task Orders are not reimbursable.

Contractors are encouraged to segregate non-recurring costs such as mobilization when submitting task order proposals.

1.7.4 Management Information Systems (MIS). Compliance with Department of Defense Instruction (DODI)

7000.2, Cost Schedule and Control System Criteria is not required; however, the principles of defining and maintaining a performance measurement baseline for comparison against the current estimate at completion and schedule are expected to be incorporated in some fashion in the Contractor's MIS. The MIS must be capable of integrating cost and recording progress payments for fixed-price and/or cost reimbursement type subcontracts. The Contractor shall provide personnel with successful experience in using the MIS tools.

1.7.4.1 This MIS must be capable of integrating cost and schedule information to provide, at a minimum: daily tracking of costs incurred, daily tracking of costs scheduled, projection of cost and schedules, earned value, and time phased budget and spending curves. Automated information should be remotely accessible at the work site and other locations to allow for daily cost tracking of actual labor (both on-site and home office), equipment, purchases, subcontracts, other commitments, obligations, and expenditures. This system should be able to be used as a project management tool to capture committed or obligated costs as they occur, not when reconciled at invoice.

1.7.4.2 As a minimum the system must have the following capabilities. All of these capabilities may not be required on every Task Order and will be required for each specifically based upon the need;

however, if the minimum requirements of the system area not specified in the Task Order, the following apply:

• The cost tracking system shall be maintained on-site and shall provide real time ability to capture costs and time phased budget and spending curves.

• The cost tracking system shall have the ability to forecast costs.

• The cost tracking system shall provide a daily report for review and approval by the

Government.

• The cost tracking system shall allow for active management and budgeting of Task

Order costs, including but not limited to home office costs, direct field costs, indirect costs, subcontractor costs, equipment costs, and other project costs.

• The cost tracking system shall have the ability to provide a weekly cost comparison/cost variance report. This report shall capture all committed/expended costs and shall allow the comparison of the forecasted total Task Order cost with the budgeted cost. It shall also show the overruns/under runs on the individual Task Order tasks.

1.7.5 Work Allocation Document (WAD).

1.7.5.1 The Work Allocation Document system may be used to allocate previously obligated contract funds by the Government to the Contractor and to further control the obligation or expenditures of funds for identified work. It is a series of numbered documents directly related to the Work

Breakdown Structure (WBS) prepared by the Contractor, and approved by the KO, ACO, or

COR.

1.7.5.2 After Task Order issuance, the Government may request the Contractor to submit WAD budgets in the government-specified WAD system format. This format will include: a) an approved

WBS; b) a cost estimate keyed to the WBS; c) a schedule for the task; and d) a narrative description of the scope of work. The Government will review the submitted WAD/WADs and approve/disapprove as necessary. The budget estimates of costs for the work orders submitted for each WAD shall not exceed the total budget for that order.

1.7.5.3 If a WAD request includes work that is beyond the scope of work/services, a Task Order modification is required. When a modification is necessary, the Contractor must revise the WAD request to include this work.

1.7.5.4 Once WAD approval has been obtained, the Contractor will submit requests to the Government for the release of budget for one or more work orders/work elements within each WAD. No work will be performed until Government approval has been received and the budget is established for the task. The Contractor is authorized to expend and/or obligate funds under the order up to the dollar value authorized by the individual WAD. The Government may not reimburse the Contractor for costs incurred in excess of WAD allocations. Only allowable, allocable and reasonable costs will be considered for payment.

1.7.5.5 Transfer of funds between WADs due to overruns/under-runs will be strictly controlled by the

Government. It is possible that WADs could have more than one funding source. If this is the case, the WBS for that WAD will identify and segregate funding sources into separate work elements for tracking and control.

1.7.5.6 The Government will not automatically utilize the WAD process on cost reimbursement Task

Orders. Depending on the size, complexity, dollar value, and duration of a cost reimbursement

Task Order, the Government may elect to control costs while still authorizing the Contractor to expend and/or obligate funds up to the full Task Order estimated cost. In either event, the

Contractor is expected to utilize its cost control procedures to deliver to the Government at the least possible cost for the duration and work specified.

1.7.5.7 Work Variation Notice (WVN) and Authority To Proceed (ATP) documents may be utilized at the Government’s discretion. These documents will be initiated by the Contractor, signed by personnel with authority, and submitted to the USACE Project Manager, and other designated personnel, for review and approval. The formats for these documents are available upon request.

These documents are to be used for cost reimbursement Task Orders. Copies of these documents are included in Section J.

1.7.6 Procurement and Subcontracting. The contractor shall follow the requirements of FAR Part 44 and FAR

Clause 52.244-2 when buying materials or when obtaining subcontracting support for Cost Reimbursement

Task Orders.

1.7.6.1 Just as the Government clearly defines its procurement policy, the Contractor's procurement policy shall be clearly delineated. The Contractor shall utilize procurement and subcontracting procedures consistent with good faith principles and fair dealing. Further, where required, the

Contractor will employ the principles and requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

1.7.6.2 The objective of the Government is to select Contractors that will raise the standards of subcontract administration while incorporating integrity and peer respect. Adequate staffing to perform subcontract management is required. Detailed Contractor procurement procedures and subcontract program plans are critical to the successful implementation of this contract. In accordance with FAR 44.203(a), the Contracting Officer’s consent to a subcontract or approval of the Contractor’s purchasing system does not constitute a determination of the acceptability of the subcontract terms or price, or of the allowability of costs, unless the consent or approval specifies otherwise.

1.7.7 Technical Changes and Claims. Contract clauses for changes and disputes are included for cost reimbursement Task Orders. The Contractor shall minimize subcontract disputes and effectively and efficiently control and process subcontract changes. Pre-pricing of subcontract changes is preferred, as is a formal system of issuing subcontract changes where obligations are recorded in advance of issuance of drawing changes or Task Orders issued to the Contractor.

1.7.8 Closeout Procedures. All cost reimbursement Task Orders may require a final audit by the cognizant audit office of the Federal Government based on the final cost of the Task Order. The Contractor is expected to demonstrate procedures and processes that facilitate quick subcontract and supplier closeout and resolution of disputes.

1.8 Site-Specific Submittals: Site work shall not commence on a project until the Government, the Project

Manager (PM), Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and other appropriate management personnel, as required, has approved all of the site-specific submittals required for each specific Task Order to include

Insurance Certificates and Payment and Performance Bonds, if applicable. Submittals will be identified within each Task Order. Following are standard submittals for all Task Orders unless otherwise specified:
