1.5.10.2 Minimum Design. Under the SABER program minimum design is defined as a design up to the 35% level. The SABER contractor may be required to provide a design up to 35%. Level of design to be specified on the project requirements documents.

a. Supporting documents are requested from the contractor which may include a SOW, Program Evaluation Review Technique (PER 1) chart, cost estimates, justification for Non-Priced Items (NPis) verified as-built drawings, manufacturer's or technical drawings/schematics for fabrication and assembly of structural elements, form, fit and attachment details for installation of materials/equipment, and design calculations to substantiate proposed layout or sizing of utilities with their structural elements (i.e.

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) loads, lighting, platform supports, etc.).

1.5.10.3 The design required for this contract is at the level normally expected of a general construction contractor and considered incidental to the accomplishment of the scope of work provided by the Government. Examples of services required from the contractor include sizing and selection of electrical and mechanical equipment and systems; sizing of electrical circuits (i.e., wiring and cable sizing; to include pole mount and pad mount transformers sizing), electrical devices, heating and ventilating air ducts, fluid piping systems and light structural framing members; lighting layout; fire detection systems;

surveying; computer aided drafting, etc. If the design requires the services of a registered architect or professional engineer, it should be considered outside the parameters of the SABER program and the Contractor shall notify the CO immediately.

1.5.11 Project Site Visit

1.5.11.1 After the release of a FOPR, the Government will schedule and conduct a pre-proposal site visit for project. Discussions held during the site visit may include, but are not limited to scope of work, method of construction, sequence of operations, progress schedule, means of access to project site, delivery and storage of materials and equipment, work restrictions, coordination requirements, project goals, liquidated damages and potential difficulties/problems. The Contractor shall email detailed site visit minutes to the CO within one (1) business day following the day of the site visit.

The CO or designated Contracting Specialist shall provide consolidated site visit minutes to all Contractors and the Civil Engineer Squadron (CES) SABER Project Manager(s) within two (2) business days following the site visit. The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of the clause at FAR 52.236-3, Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work.

1.5.11.2 As part of meeting the requirement, the Contractor shall research all historical drawings related to the project site or facility. Historical records and drawings (if they are available) are located in the 436th CES, Bldg. 600. Contractors will be required to bring a copy of the FOPR signed by the CO to Bldg. 600 in order to be authorized access. Contractors shall not use access to Bldg.600 to research any building/project for which they do not have a signed FOPR or contract/TO. Contractors found violating this policy may have their access to B600 restricted and/or have further actions taken including but not limited to receiving a lower CPARS rating or the Government not exercising their contract option(s). NOTE: Available historical records or drawings may or may not be accurate, therefore; it is the Contractor’s responsibility to perform diligent site investigation prior to the preparation of their project proposal to the Government.

1.5.11.3 Any questions asked during the site visit or identified after the site visit shall be submitted as a Request for Information (RFI) to the CO and designated Contract Specialist within three (3) calendar days after the site visit.

1.5.12 On-Site Conditions

1.5.12.1 Drawings may not be available or provided. Drawings showing the location of equipment, piping, ducts, and conduit, are diagrammatic and may not show every detail required. In addition, site conditions will not always permit installation in the locations shown on the concept drawings. Drawings showing equipment, piping, ducts, conduit, etc. to be removed, altered, or installed may require deviation from the configuration of the demolition or installation drawings due to existence of conflicting ducts, conduits, hangers, light fixtures, structural items, and temporary walls, etc. All such minor details of work which are not shown on the drawings, as well as such items not specifically mentioned in the specifications, but which are essential and necessary for the completion of the work, and to make all systems or equipment operational, shall be considered as incidental and shall be included as part of the work. When this situation occurs, the final placement of permanently installed items shall be subject to approval by the Government. The Contractor shall be responsible for inspecting to his satisfaction all areas/items of possible conflict. Failure to verify the dimensions and locations will be at the contractor’s risk and shall not relieve the Contractor from accomplishing the work required by the TO.

1.5.13 Project Proposal

1.5.13.1 For every FOPR associated with a new TO, the Contractor shall provide a written Firm Fixed-Priced (FFP) proposal describing the Contractor’s approach to the proposed project work described in the Government’s Statement of Objectives (SOO) and project drawings, if any. The proposal shall include at a minimum: a Cover Letter, a Statement of Work narrative describing their approach to the proposed project work as described in the Government’s SOO to include all major components of the project; a detailed cost estimate for all work to be performed and all major components of the project; a Schedule of Material Submittals; a detailed project schedule in Microsoft Project, or equivalent, and Adobe PDF that includes all major components of the project, their associated costs and percentage of effort; an AF Form 3065 detailing the major components and the associated percentage of the construction effort; and any other information as needed to demonstrate a complete and thorough understanding of construction effort. The Contractor shall submit the proposal within 14 calendar days of the site visit.

a. Cover Page. The cover page or pages shall include project title, total project cost, list of requirements, performance period, material lead times, and any special considerations such as phasing of construction. A list of assumptions and exemptions are identified separately. The Contractor’s proposals shall be complete and concise.

b. Statement of Work (SOW). The Contractor shall provide, as part of the proposal, a

SOW. The SOW shall provide a written narrative describing the Contractor’s approach and shall document the Contractor’s basic design solution to the subject project. The Contractor shall not simply re-state the goals of the Government SOO, but provide sufficient information to demonstrate to the Government a complete and thorough understanding of the requirement and all applicable codes and regulations.

c. Design Documentation. Design incidental to accomplishing the required tasks outlined in each TO project may be required. The extent of these designs will depend upon the complexity of each TO project. Under the scope of this contract, the complexity will not require the services of a registered architect or engineer.

However, the Contractor shall provide sufficient design documentation to substantiate the proposed approach for the task. Design documentation shall provide enough detail to verify line-item quantities in the cost proposal are accurate and enough detail to clearly convey to the Government what the Government will be receiving. All designs shall clearly illustrate compliance with local, state, and federal building and construction codes. After the site validation visit, the Contractor shall begin preparation of design documentation that clearly illustrates the proposed design solution, quantities, dimensions, materials etc. This documentation may include any or all of the following, but is not limited to the following:

(1) Drawings. When required, design drawings submitted by the Contractor shall show the basic layout and planning of work. Shop drawings shall show in detail the proposed fabrication and assembly of structural elements and/or the installation (i.e., form fit, and attachment details) of materials or equipment.

Drawings must have sufficient detail to enable both the Contractor and the Government to understand the work to be accomplished.

i. For the purpose of this requirement, the term drawings includes actual construction drawings, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, erection drawings, diagrams, layouts, schematics, descriptive literature, illustrations, room finish schedules, lighting/panel schedules, lighting level analysis plans, load/distribution schedules/calculations, performance and test data, and similar materials furnished by the Contractor to explain in detail specific portions as may be required by an individual TO.

ii. The Government may indicate minimum drawings that are necessary for each individual TO project. Typical types of drawings required on TOs include the following: Title/Location/Legend/Index Sheets, Site Plans, Grading/Landscaping Plans, Underground Utility Plan and Profiles, Demolition Floor Plans, New Work Floor Plans, Wall Sections, Building Section, Finish Schedules, Window and Door Schedules, Mechanical Plans and Equipment Schedules, Plumbing Plans and HVAC Riser Diagrams, Electrical Plans and Wiring Diagrams, Electrical Equipment and Panel Schedules, Lighting Plans and Schedules, Communications Plans, Fire Protection Plans, Structural Plans, Roofing Plans, Wall and Roof Sections, Reflected Ceiling Plans, Elevations (Interior and Exterior), and Associated details.

(2) Design Calculations. The Contractor shall provide, as part of the proposal, design calculations to substantiate appropriate equipment or material selection/sizing, component assembly, proposed layout and sizing of utilities and structural elements (i.e., HVAC Loads, Lighting, Platform Supports, etc.).

The Contractor shall supply the following calculations per each TO project, as applicable:

i. Mechanical: HVAC load analysis and unit sizing, pipe sizing and duct sizing.

ii. Electrical: Electrical system capacity, conductor, conduit, protective devices, and other equipment sizing.

iii. Structural: Structural system and foundation sizing.

iv. Pavement/Site Work: Area run-off quantities, drainage capacities and grading slopes.

v. Lighting: Lighting level analysis and lumen/foot-candle levels for each room or area.

vi. Energy: Provide energy savings and Return on Investment (ROI).

d. Cost Estimates. All TOs shall be estimated, negotiated, and awarded based upon prices in the Unit Price Book (UPB, see Section 01 04 00). The cost estimate portion of the Contractor’s proposals shall be prepared and produced using the cost estimating software described in Cost Estimating Software Requirements (Section 01 04 00 paragraph 1.1). This applies to all work done on SABER TOs, even if work is done by subcontractors.

(1) Items not in the UPB, known as Non-Priced Items (NPI), may be proposed in accordance with the policy outlined below. The cost estimate portion of the Contractor’s proposals shall be in CSI format and shall be prepared and produced using the cost estimating software described in Unit Price Book and Software Requirements (UPB, see Section 01 04 00). Cost estimates must be logical, demonstrating a reasonable approach in construction methodology in both line items and quantities proposed. The elements of the cost estimate should correlate to the construction elements identified in the Statement of Work. Only authorized cost adjustment factors identified in Section 01 04 00 and included in the UPB shall be utilized to adjust line-item costs. The Contractor shall not utilize any other cost adjustment factors.

(2) The use of an NPI should be kept to a minimum; use will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the government and SABER Project Manager. For negotiating and determining the price reasonableness for the NPI, the Contractor will submit at least three (3) quotes from suppliers with their proposal for review. The Government (assigned SABER Managers) will then select one of the suppliers from which the Contractor will be authorized to purchase the NPI. The Contractor and the Government will negotiate the labor hours required to install the NPI and any other appropriate mark-ups and the fixed co- efficient. If three

(3) suppliers cannot be found, the Contractor shall submit at least one invoice with their proposal. If the NPI has a commercially available price list, the Contractor shall submit that with the proposal. The CO will conduct market research to determine price reasonableness. Once price reasonableness has been determined, the Contractor and the Government (to include SABER Project Manager) will negotiate the labor hours to install the NPI and any other appropriate mark-ups and the fixed co-efficient. If price reasonableness cannot be determined and the material cost is significant, the Contractor will have to break down each unit of cost the Contractor will pay for the NPI to facilitate the price reasonableness determination. If the NPI is a custom-made item, the manufacturer will have to submit their itemized costs.

e. Schedule of Material Submittals. The Contractor shall prepare and provide as part of the proposal package a Schedule of Material Submittals, or equivalent. The Schedule of Material Submittals shall include all reports, construction materials, and documentation that have a material effect on the construction effort including, but not limited to: large purchase items; long-lead items; required reports; and as-built drawings. Submittal requirements are identified in specification Section 01 33 00.

f. Construction Schedule

(1) The Contractor shall submit the construction schedule in two (2) formats, an AF Form 3064, Progress Schedule, and a critical path Gantt chart schedule. The progress schedule shall be submitted on an AF Form 3064, Progress Schedule, and completed in accordance with the instructions on the reverse side of the form, or as directed by the CO. In addition to the progress schedule, the Contractor shall submit a critical path Gantt chart schedule with milestones in Microsoft Project, or an equivalent format, and Adobe PDF. After TO award, the Contractor shall provide bi-weekly construction updates on an AF Form 3065, Progress Report and Gantt chart accordingly.

(2) The construction schedule shall identify all major tasks of construction effort, their associated cost, and associated percentage of the work effort. The construction schedule should demonstrate a logical progression of the work effort from award to close-out.

1.5.14 Quick Response Requirements

1.5.14.1 The Government at its discretion may classify a requirement as a Quick Response

Requirement. If a project is determined to be a quick response requirement the timelines may be shortened based on the CO’s discretion. The shortened timelines will be identified on the FOPR and the Contractors shall comply with the timelines.

1.6 TASK ORDER SELECTION PROCEDURES

1.6.1 The Government anticipates award of a target of three SABER contracts. TOs issued under the contract award are subject to the requirements of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505, Orders under Multiple Award Contracts. Contractor will be required to submit proposal for evaluation on every TO.

1.6.2 The selection for TO award will either be based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA), Highest Technically Rated Offer (HTRO) or Best Value (BV) at the discretion of the CO with CONCURRENCE of the CES, Engineering Flight (436th CES/CENMP).

The LPTA method will be the primary selection method with HTRO and BV being used on a by-exception basis. Under LPTA, TO awards will be made to the lowest priced proposal determined technically acceptable. Proposals will be determined technical acceptable when they demonstrate a complete understanding of the TO requirement based upon a review of each of the submitted documents. Inconsistencies and/or a lack of sufficient detail may cause TO proposals to be determined technically unacceptable.

Under HTRO, TO awards will be made to the TO proposal which is determined to be the highest technically rated with a reasonable price (reasonable price may not be the lowest price). Under BV, TO awards will be made to the TO proposal which is determined to be the best value to the Government considering price and other factors. The factors used in the Best Value Determination will be identified on the FOPR. The CO may exercise broad discretion in selecting the Contractor.

a. Completeness of Proposal

b. Design

c. Construction methodology

d. Scheduling

e. Past performance

f. Quality of deliverables

1.6.3 After considering the above factors, and before or after selection of the contractor, the

CO may require further evaluation or negotiations of the proposal.

1.6.4 The CO using a DD Form 1155 will then issue TOs. Each TO will include the following information:

a. Date of the TO

b. Contract number and TO number

c. Item number and description, quantity, and unit prices for pre-priced and non-pre-priced items and total

d. TO price, delivery, or performance data

e. Accounting and appropriation data

f. Liquidated Damages, if applicable

g. Design, if applicable

h. Sketches/Drawings, if applicable

i. Contractor’s Statement of Work

j. Construction Schedule; period of performance

1.7 WORK CLEARANCE REQUEST

1.7.1 Upon TO award and prior to start of the project the Contractor shall obtain and process an AF Form 103, BCE Work Clearance Request for each project. The Contractor shall go to the 436th CES, Operations Flight, Customer Service Unit (work order service desk) located in Bldg. 600 along Chevron Ave. (CES Complex) in order to start the AF Form 103 process. Government agencies will annotate the form with special instructions or requirements.
