1. DESCRIPTION:

1.1. The Handyman contract is for a broad range of maintenance, repair, alteration, and minor construction projects on real property at Beale AFB, California and base satellite locations, as required, in support of the 9th Civil Engineering Squadron (9 CES). The Contractor is required to furnish all requirements including but not limited to materials, labor, plans, tools, equipment, transportation, supervision, management, quality assurance, and technical design support in accordance with the basic contract specifications and individual Handyman Task Order (TO) requirements.

1.2. The contract will be a fixed-priced Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract and will require a wide variety of individual construction tasks to be performed as individual projects to be issued as task orders against the basic contract delivery order.

1.3. The contracting office will issue a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) and resulting task orders to the Contractor for accomplishing the identified work. The Contractor shall be required to furnish all equipment, materials, and personnel necessary to complete designs, accomplish construction, and manage the task orders in the time period and to the quality required in the contract and associated specifications.

1.4. The Contractor shall prepare a proposal to include a complete Statement of Work (SOW), construction drawings (if applicable), schedules, and cost estimate. The applicable construction standards in Section 38 shall be used as the minimum standard for building code compliance, quality and general requirements applicable to every project. In preparing the proposal, the contractor shall research existing record drawings and independently conduct as many site visits as necessary to have a satisfactory knowledge of the site conditions that can affect the work or its cost.

1.5. Work will require expertise in various construction trades to include, but not limited to:

carpentry, road repair, roofing, roll up doors, signage, excavation, interior renovation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, sheet metal, welding, painting, demolition, concrete masonry, asbestos and lead based paint surveys and abatement, and soil remediation.

1.6. Upon issuance of a task order, the Contractor will diligently complete all work within the time frames specified in the task order and approved progress schedules. The Contractor shall perform all necessary quality control functions to ensure the work is executed in compliance with the terms of the task order and this contract.

2. DEFINITIONS:

2.1. The following definitions apply to all work required by this solicitation and the resulting contract:

2.2. As-Built Drawings: Final site drawings prepared by the Contractor in sufficient detail to accurately reflect the project as fully constructed, complete with all changes, modifications, and deletions from prior award drawings. See Section 21 for more information.

2.3. Calendar Day: Each day of the calendar year including workdays, holidays, and weekends

(Saturdays and Sundays). The following are the identified federal holidays:

New Year’s Day Labor Day

Martin Luther King’s Birthday Columbus Day

President’s Day Veteran’s Day

Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day

Independence Day Christmas Day

2.4. Concept Drawing: Project concept drawings are basic drawings containing sufficient detail to convey the main features of a project.

2.5. Construction Cost Proposal: A detailed construction cost proposal shall be prepared for each task order showing each division of work, line items under the division, quantity and cost. The cost proposal shall be accomplished by the Contractor from approved drawings and/or the

Government-provided Statement of Need (SON), Statement of Work (SOW), or Statement of

Objectives (SOO).

2.6. Controlled Areas: See Restricted Work Areas, Section 2.14 below.

2.7. Drawings: Graphical representations documenting the work required by each Government project. See Sections 3 and 18 for more information.

2.8. Government-Furnished Equipment / Government-Furnished Property (GFE / GFP): Items provided by the Government to the Contractor for use in performance of this contract. Any

Government Furnished Items will be identified per task order. See SOW Section 12.

2.9. Negotiations: A reasonable number of meetings between the Government and the Contractor as necessary to come to full agreement on all project aspects including pricing, appropriate line items and quantities, technical requirements, and performance required for each identified construction project.

2.10. Notice to Proceed (NTP): Formal notification from the Contracting Officer to the Contractor to begin performance on a specified project, to include ordering of materials. The NTP identifies the effective start date of the project performance and the scheduled completion date and/or number of days remaining in the performance time.

2.11. Pre-Construction Conference: A meeting attended by designated representatives of the

Government and the Contractor after project award but before the start of work to discuss all aspects of the required work for a specific project.

2.12. Pre-Final Inspection: An examination requested by the Contractor, with Government representatives present, to identify and correct all work discrepancies prior to requesting a final inspection by the Government.

2.13. Proposal Package: The Contractor’s technical and cost proposals provided in response to the

Contracting Officer’s Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR). See Section 8 for details on the proposal package.

2.14. Restricted Work Areas: Areas of performance on Government property with increased security requirements within which the Contractor is not allowed free access to the work site, cannot enter and exit freely, and will be required to be under escort during performance of the project.

Personnel and equipment entry will be subject to delays due to security processing.

2.15. Scope of Work: A Government-produced rough description of work tasks to be accomplished.

This differs from the Contractor-produced Statement of Work, which is a more detailed description of exactly how the Contractor will complete the project.

2.16. Scoping Meetings: A reasonable number of meetings attended by representatives of the

Government and the Contractor to discuss and define the work requirements of each project in sufficient detail to allow the Government to develop a Statement of Need (SON) and the

Contractor to prepare a Statement of Work (SOW), required drawings, material submittal forms, and all else necessary to successfully complete the project.

2.17. Site Visits: A reasonable number of investigative visits to a location at which work has been proposed by the Government to be done by the Contractor. The purpose of the visit is for the

Contractor to gather enough information to prepare the Statement of Work, drawings, and construction cost proposal, and for the Government to prepare or revise a Scope of Work.

2.18. Statement of Work (SOW): A specific written description (in the quality, detail, and professionalism necessary) documenting the specific work required for each Government project.

The SOW is prepared by the Contractor from a Government-supplied general Statement of Need

(SON). The SOW should not simply re-word the Government SON, and should include sufficient detail to clearly document the steps that will be taken to accomplish the specific project.

3. TECHNICAL DESIGN SUPPORT CAPABILITIES:

3.1. Design will not be required in the majority of work performed under this contract. If required, it will entail very minimal design requirements, which should not necessitate hiring additional expertise beyond that normally required by a general Contractor.

If design is required, in the FOPR, a maximum of 10% Design is an acceptable submission with an offer. The design shall reflect the final basic plan with sufficient detail to illustrate (as applicable) the structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and communications systems as well as the paving/grading/drainage plan, haul route and proposed storage site, designed to a 10% level.

3.2. Contractors are encouraged to have master craftsmen available on an “as needed” basis that are experienced with building codes, safety regulations, and environmental protection requirements associated with construction when required.

4. STANDARD VS. NON-STANDARD WORK HOURS:

4.1. Standard Working Hours: The Contractor shall generally be prepared to pursue contracted tasks during the standard working period of 0700 to 1700 hours (7:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Monday through

Friday, excluding federal holidays. The Contractor may elect to work hours other than standard duty hours provided that:

4.1.1. The request is submitted in writing at least three (3) workdays in advance.

4.1.2. The Contracting Officer approves the request.

4.1.3. Work performed outside standard working hours or on weekends or federal holidays that the

Contractor chooses to perform during non-standard hours will be considered and charged as standard hours.

4.2. Non-Standard Working Hours: Work required by the Government at other than standard duty hours will be considered nonstandard working hours, that is, Monday through Friday from 1700 to 0700 hours, Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays.

5. CONTRACT START-UP AND COMPLETION PERIOD:

5.1. The contractor’s proposal will determine the time period reasonably necessary to perform all elements of the Task Order to include materials and labor.

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

5.3 Although the Government may issue task orders against this contract through the final date of the contract period of performance, the Contractor must physically complete all work outlined in any task order within 30 days after the date of contract end.

5.4 The Contractor is required to vacate any and all areas provided to him, including any office areas and individual work sites or storage yards, and remove all Contractor-owned equipment, within three (3) days of the conclusion of the final task order issued under this contract, whether by termination or natural completion, or within (14) calendar days of being notified in writing by the

Contracting Officer at any other period during performance.

5.5 After the contract completion period, within 7 days, the Government will conduct a walkthrough of the Contractor’s formerly occupied areas. Any discrepancies, damages, and required cleanup will be notified to the Contractor in writing. The Contractor will have 48 hours to resolve the notification(s) from the Government. If the Contractor fails to resolve adequate cleanup or repair of damages, the cost for identified items may be completed by the Government or services procured from a third party, and charges billed to the Contractor.

6. CONTRACTOR-PROVIDED MATERIALS:

6.1. All Contractor-provided materials shall become the sole property of the Government.

6.2 All materials used in project are required to comply with the Buy American Act.

7. TASK ORDER PROCEDURES:

7.1. As the need exists for performance under the terms of this contract, the Contracting Officer (CO) will notify the Contractor of a potential performance requirement.

7.2. Once the government defines a complete construction requirement, the CO will provide the contractor a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR).

7.2.1. If the project incorporates any additional project items as optional CLINs, the SON will describe the anticipated details of that aspect of performance including performance period, consideration of mobilization and/or demobilization activities, progressive flow of construction activities, and the impact of additional performance on the task order (TO) as a whole.

7.2.2. The Contractor may be requested to provide cost and technical proposals or designs within the last quarter of the fiscal year in anticipation of fall out funds (money which is not yet obligated by the Government, but which is expected to become available prior to fiscal year end). In anticipation of this potential work, and the fast turnaround required at fiscal year-end to secure funds should they become available, the Contractor may be asked to provide a cost and technical proposal at no liability to the Government to award the project. In this instance the Contractor will complete a Hold Harmless Agreement prior to their proposal preparation. Please see

Attachment 1 for a Sample Hold Harmless Agreement.

7.3. Upon receipt of an FOPR, the Contractor shall respond to the needs of the Government by scheduling a site visit through the CO within the timeline designated in the FOPR, generally three (3) or five (5) days from issuance of the FOPR. The site visit will be conducted in the company of the Contractor, contracting personnel, the end user or facility manager, and 9 CES at the proposed work site. If specific disciplines are needed at the meeting, other base agencies

(fire department, safety, communications, etc.) may also be invited to attend.

7.4. Note: Any reference to any equipment, material, article or patented process by trade name, make or catalog number requested by the Government shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality only.

7.5. Contractor will submit questions regarding the project in writing to the CO.

7.6. An amendment to the FOPR will be issued by the CO incorporating any changes to the Scope of

Work as determined during the site visit, or as a result of other Contractor questions.

7.7. Upon establishment of the final scope of the individual requirement, the Contractor shall then prepare a proposal package for submission to the Contracting Officer. See Section 8 for additional instructions on compiling proposal packages.

7.8. The Contractor shall accomplish their proposal package and return it to the Contracting Officer by the suspense date reflected on the FOPR. The suspense date will be determined by the CO based on the magnitude, complexity, and urgency of the project; generally a suspense date of five

(5) workdays after the site visit will be determined, taking these factors into consideration. The

Contractor shall have enough staff to ensure proposals are completed within the established suspense dates.

7.9. The CO will then forward the proposal to the 9 CES for technical review. Upon receipt of the

Contractor’s proposal, the Government will accomplish a technical evaluation of the proposal. If

9 CES has questions about the Contractor’s proposal, the Government may request a fact-finding meeting in order to clarify questions and misunderstandings.

7.10. A fact finding and negotiation meeting may be scheduled by the contracting office to discuss and negotiate all variances in quantities, hours, start date, and performance times with the Contractor.

9 CES personnel may also be in attendance if requested by the CO.

7.11. The Contractor will provide a final cost estimate, technical proposal, and Statement of Work

(SOW) based on the negotiated terms. The Contractor’s final submittal must be reviewed and approved by the Government.

7.12. The negotiated price for the proposed project will remain valid for sixty (60) calendar days, unless otherwise requested/negotiated with the Contracting Officer.

7.13. The Contracting Officer will issue a Task Order against the contract and will distribute the notification of award to all parties. Construction Periods of Performance (PoPs) will be based on the Contractor’s proposed construction schedule.

7.14. All work associated with the Task Order shall begin after all post award submittals have been received as identified in the FOPR. Shortly after all submittals are received contractors are to expect a NTP to be issued and work to begin as detailed in the NTP. If any offer has been awarded multiple TOs, the government expects all TO work be performed simultaneously with previously awarded TOs. If the government determines that a contractor cannot successfully perform all awarded TOs simultaneously, the government reserves the right to award any potential TO to the next lowest offer.

7.15. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Contracting, 9 CES, Building Manager, and other pertinent base officials (i.e. Safety, Security Forces, and Communications) will have a pre-construction meeting to discuss specific issues for the task order. At this meeting the Contractor will provide a construction schedule and timelines on an AF 3064 (Contract Progress Schedule, Attachment 2), if the period of performance is expected to exceed 60 days; Performance and Payment Bonds, as required; an SF 1413 (Statement and Acknowledgment, Attachment 3) for all tier levels of subcontractors needed for project completion; an AF 3000 (Material Approval Submittal, Attachment 4) for any known proposed materials; and any other documents as requested by the

CO.

7.16 Actual construction on the site will not occur until the Contracting Officer has issued a Notice to

Proceed (NTP). NTP is anticipated to be issued within 10 days from submittal of required documents.

7.17 If an AF 3064, Contract Progress Schedule, is required, the Contractor will provide bi-weekly progress reports using AF 3065 (Contract Progress Report; Attachment 5), until project completion.

7.18. The Contractor may request a pre-final inspection for the purpose of having the Government assist in identifying potential problems or areas of correction required prior to the final inspection. The Contractor will request the pre-final inspection from the Contracting Officer and a date will be scheduled by the contracting office. Pre-final inspections will typically include the

Contracting Officer and Contracting Administrator, 9 CES, Contractor personnel (to include subcontractors), requirements/end user personnel, operations and maintenance personnel, and representatives throughout the installation (fire, safety, security, etc.), as needed.

7.19. The Contractor will request a final inspection from the Contracting Officer three (3) working days prior to the desired date of inspection. The final inspection will typically include 9 CES, the

Contractor, the CO, and other base entities as needed. More information regarding final inspections is included in Section 11.

7.20. Prior to final invoicing, the Contractor will provide all as-builts, warranty items and documentation, and all other required documentation as outlined in this Statement of Work.

All work associated with the Task Order shall begin after all post award submittals have been received as identified in the FOPR. Once the submittals are received contractors are to expect a

NTP to be issued and work to begin. If an offer has been awarded multiple TOs, the government expects the work be performed simultaneously with other awarded TOs. If the government determines that a contractor cannot successfully perform all the awarded TOs simultaneously, the government reserves the right to award any potential TO to the next lowest offer.

8. PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL:

8.1. The Contractor’s proposal must be supported by adequate documentation to demonstrate that thorough planning has been accomplished to complete the task order, including a cost proposal, technical proposal, and other accompanying documents.

8.2. The Contractor’s proposal package will be provided for both initial and final review of CE and

Contracting personnel, between which the Contractor will make any necessary and negotiated changes.

8.3. The Contractor’s proposal package shall include, as applicable, but is not limited to:

8.3.1. Cost Proposal / construction estimate: The Contractor shall identify priced line items that address the requirement and the proposed quantities thereof. The Contractor’s cost proposal shall include the specific quantities and costs.

8.3.2. Statement of Work: SOW shall identify and describe in detail the Contractor’s specific tasks, explain any extenuating site conditions/issues, establish performance times, outline material submittals and submittal dates.

8.3.3. Subcontract backup documentation. The Government reserves the right to request Subcontractor pricing cost breakdowns, if necessary. Subcontractors may utilize unit cost estimating software similar to the prime Contractor, or submit a Construction Cost Estimate Breakdown (Attachment

6).

8.3.4. Material submittal documents for known submittal items or proposed dates for future submittals.

8.3.5. The Solid Waste Diversion and Disposal Report (Attachment 7); not less than quarterly, as required by Beale’s Integrated Solid Waste Management program. See Section 20.7.

8.3.6. The BAFB Green Procurement Tracking Form or BAFB Green Procurement Exemption Form

8.3.7. Appropriate maps to include topographic, loading zones, and vicinity to roads, buildings, and other landmarks, if required.

8.3.8. Necessary layout to include floor and demolition plans displaying utility features.

8.3.9. Color boards or fabric samples, if required.

8.3.10. Project-specific Accident Prevention Plan, if required.

8.3.11. Facility Drawings.

8.3.12. Design calculations to substantiate proposed layout and sizing of utilities and structure elements.

8.3.13. Any other requirements cited in the Government’s Scope of Work.

9. COST ESTIMATES:

9.1. Bare costs are shown for materials, labor, and equipment needed to complete the Unit Price line item.

9.2. The Davis-Bacon Wage rates which are in effect at the time of award, and at the time each option period is exercised, if option periods are exercised by the Government, will be incorporated into the contract and will be applied to task orders issued within that period of performance.

9.3. Cost estimates are to be generated using bare material, equipment, and labor costs, outlined by division and line item.

10. PERFORMANCE OF WORK BY THE CONTRACTOR:

10.1. In accordance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, the Contractor shall perform at least 15 percent (15%) of the cost of each task order, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees. This percentage may be reduced by a supplemental agreement to this contract or specification per task order, if the Contractor requests a reduction and the CO determines that the reduction would be to the advantage of the Government.

10.2. Contractor shall maintain a professional work area to include their on-site location as well as any job sites. Smoking shall not be allowed except in designated areas. No noxious or harmful fumes shall be allowed to infiltrate occupied facilities or work areas.

10.3. The Contractor shall store all supplies, materials, and equipment in an area approved by the

Government. The Contractor must propose a staging area for each task order if one is needed.

The Contractor shall be responsible for securing materials and equipment to preclude theft or damage. The site shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner.

11. ON/OFF RAMP PROCEDURES

11.1 The Government will ensure that an adequate number of contractors are available at all times to achieve effective competition on all TOs.

11.2 Contractor holders are expected, in good faith, to participate in the TO competitions, and if successful, do deliver quality projects on time and on cost, to include management and supervision of subcontractors. If for any reason a contractor cannot participate in a competition, the contractor shall provide written notice to the CO of the reason(s) for non-participation rates, reason(s) for non-participation, and performance evaluations for TOs completed or in effect.

Failure to participate in good faith on at least 75% of the issued Fair Opportunity Proposal

Requests (FOPR) and/or an overall annual performance assessment rating of Marginal or

Unsatisfactory may result in the contractor being off-ramped from the multiple award program.

An off-ramp decision results in the inability to participate in future FOPRs.

11.3 In the event contractor(s) are off ramped, the Government will work to fill the vacancy from the off-ramped contractor. Utilizing market research three SDVOSB contractors will be selected to compete in the next TO against the current pool of contractors. The TO will be awarded to the most competitive contractor from the entire pool. The most competitive contractor of the three new contractors will be on-ramped to the Handyman and eligible to compete on future TOs. The contractor(s) chosen to be on-ramped must be active in SAM and otherwise in compliance with the original multiple award solicitation. If found in compliance, the government will offer the identified on-ramp contractors a bi-lateral TO with the original guaranteed minimum specified in the contract. Awarded TOs resulting in an amount of $150,000 or more are subject to performance and payment bond requirements IAW FAR 52.228-15. The penal amount at time of award of performance and payments bond shall be 100 percent of the original contract price. The ordering period for this contract is a base period of five years from the date that the first contract is awarded, with one three-year option period. No contract will extend beyond this limitation regardless of when a basic contract is awarded; however, the performance period of each TO is determined at the time of TO award.

12. FINAL INSPECTIONS AND ACCEPTANCE:

12.1. The Contractor shall request a final inspection in writing at least three (3) working days prior to proposed inspection date. The Contractor shall have a quality control manager inspect the project and ensure all work is complete and meets the terms of the contract prior to the final.

12.2. Any punch list items noted during the final inspection will be recorded by a Government representative and a copy given to the Contractor within 24 hours of the inspection. The

Contractor must provide a written schedule showing completion dates for the punch list items.

12.3. After all discrepancies have been corrected the Contractor shall notify Contracting and request another inspection. Once work has met acceptable standards, as determined by CE and

Contracting personnel, the work shall be accepted.

12.4. A maximum of ten percent (10%) of the award price of each task order will be withheld from final payment approval until receipt, acceptance, and approval of all, warranty letters, equipment lists, operation and maintenance manuals, certificates and all other required documents have been received for the task order.

13 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED EQUIPMENT/MATERIALS (GFE/GFM):

13.1. Government-furnished equipment and material is not to be furnished under this contract unless specifically authorized by the CO.

13.2. The Contractor, with his own forces, shall load and transport all Government-furnished equipment/materials, if any is to be provided, as described on the task order. The equipment/materials shall be transported from the Government storage area to the work site indicated on the task order.

14 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

14.1. The Contractor shall comply with security regulations imposed by the Installation Commander and the agency occupying the space where work is to be performed, including any necessary security clearances.

14.2. At a minimum, Contractor must submit an Entry Access List Form (EAL, Attachment 9) to be coordinated through Security Forces prior to entering the base. Any person that does not pass

EAL screening may not enter the base until approved by Security Forces.

14.3. Prior to mobilization the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer or authorized representative a list of personnel requiring authority to work on Beale AFB. The list shall be kept current and the Contracting Office or authorized representative must be notified as to any changes in the list. The Contractor’s employees will be required to obtain and display employee identification as prescribed by Air Force directives. The Contracting Officer shall provide these requirements upon request.

14.4. Whenever facility security is breached to perform work required under this contract, the

Contractor will be responsible for providing temporary measures in order to assure security is maintained at the level existing prior to construction. This may include such security items as fencing around a facility or closing all openings in a structure during non-work hours.

15 WORK BY THE GOVERNMENT:

15.1. The Government reserves the right to undertake performance, by whatever means available or necessary, of the same type or similar work as contracted for herein. To do so will not breach or otherwise violate this contract.

16 SCHEDULING WORK:

16.1. Before any work is initiated under an individual task order, the Contractor and Contracting, with the coordination of the CE representative and other base entities as needed, shall agree on a sequence of procedures for execution.
