2.1 The Contractor shall furnish all management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals required for work on various real property facilities covered under this contract, including services incidental to construction. The Contracting Officer (CO) will conduct negotiations with the Contractor and issue individual TO’s for projects identified by the Base Civil Engineer (BCE) as part of this Paint IDIQ program.

2.2 Paint IDIQ Master Specifications

2.2.1 This contract will utilize the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). UFGS standard specifications can be obtained from the Whole Building Design Guide website:

http:/www.wbdg.org/ffc/dod/unified-%20facilities-guide-specifications-ufgs).%20%20. The Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) are hereby incorporated into the solicitation and any resultant contract. The UFGS may be updated by the Contracting Officer by issuance of a unilateral modification to the base contract as determined to be necessary. Each individual TO will remain under the UFGS version that was in effect at the time of TO award or through any supplements issued by the Government when individual TO’s are modified to add additional work. Only the additional work may be applicable to the current UFGS.

2.2.2 The Paint IDIQ Master Specifications are numbered and organized in accordance with the

Construction Specification Institute’s (CSI) Master Format. All specifications are filed in Division 2 through 48 per CSI guidelines. The primary section applicable to this contract is 09 90 00 Painting and Coating. Other sections may apply to incidental work when performed under this contract. The specifications are taken from the UFGS

2.2.3 The government will develop the specifications for each task order using the UFGS guide specs and incorporate them into the proposal. Where no specific specifications are provided by the government for an aspect of the SOW, the general UFGS guide specifications will apply as a minimum.

3. Contractor Organization

3.1.1. The contractor shall have available staff to respond to the requirements of this Paint IDIQ type contract. The contractor’s organizational approach shall integrate with this staff to provide project management, incidental project planning, on-site superintendence, safety, environmental compliance, quality control and administration.

4. Ordering Procedures

4.1 As the need arises for performance under the terms of this contract, the Contracting Officer or authorized representative will issue a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR). Orders placed will be competitively awarded using Federal Acquisition (FAR)16.504(b)(1) fair opportunity processes with specific instructions provided within each FOPR.

4.2 Orders processed under this IDIQ contract will be decentralized meaning installation contracting officers will solicit IDIQ holders for local requirements and administer the resulting orders. Orders will primarily be issued thru the Air Force contracting agency.

Orders may be issued from other agencies with written approval from the 42d Contracting Squadron. Resultant TOs may include any special agency requirements, provisions, or clauses.

Commented [SW3]: Add "Federal Acquisition Regulation" and the appropriate parentheses before "FAR"

Commented [WJGCUA4C4R3]: Added http://www.wbdg.org/ffc/dod/unified-%20facilities-guide-specifications-ufgs) http://www.wbdg.org/ffc/dod/unified-%20facilities-guide-specifications-ufgs) http://www.wbdg.org/ffc/dod/unified-%20facilities-guide-specifications-ufgs)

4.3 Orders shall be issued on a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) basis. The Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) structure on each order will reflect the FFP for each line item, and must strictly follow the CLIN structure outlined in the IDIQ contract. Order competition for subsequent award is as follows:

4.4 Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR)

4.4.1 The ordering CO will initiate the FOPR process by sending a FOPR letter and attachments

(herein referred to as the FOPR package) to IDIQ holders following FAR 16.505.

• The FOPR letter may include the following information o Date of package o Proposal due date and name/email address of POC to submit proposal o Date, time and location of pre-proposal site visit o Magnitude of construction estimate IAW FAR 36.204 o Project specific statement of work/performance work statement/statement of objectives o Estimated Period of Performance (PoP)/Estimated Completion Date (ECD) o Work schedule o Other requirement documents o Bonding requirements o Identification of liquidated damages rate, if applicable o Identification of Government furnished property/equipment available, if applicable o Other pertinent data such as planned closures for other base-related restriction periods

4.4.2 For each FOPR, the CO will provide the Contractor with one (1) copy of the Government’s Statement of Objectives (SOO) or Statement of Work (SOW) and an AF Form 66 Schedule of Material Submittals identifying the minimum required submittals from the Contracting Officer or his/her designated Contracting Specialist. The Contractor may be provided with one (1) set of drawings and specifications as required or applicable.

4.4.3 Although the Contractor is given a design package, it is still the Contractor’s responsibility under FAR 52.236-3 to investigate the site and conditions affecting the work prior to proposal submission. The Contractor may reproduce the drawings and specifications at the Contractor’s own expense if additional copies are needed. The Contractor shall check all drawings and specifications for discrepancies upon receipt and notify the Contracting Officer or their designated representative immediately of any discrepancies via a written Request for Information (RFI). The RFI shall be forwarded to the Contracting Officer for review and in-turn forwarded to the assigned Paint IDIQ Project Manager(s) for review, clarification, and response. Enlarged plans and details shall govern where the same work is shown at smaller scales. The Contractor shall compare all drawings and verify the installation before laying out the work and shall be responsible for any errors which might have been avoided thereby.

4.4.4 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 CO in coordination with the government Program Manager. The Contractor shall be responsible for inspecting to their 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 task order.

4.4.5 Brand Name Descriptions: SOW, drawings and the Technical Provisions of the specifications may, in some instances, refer to certain items of equipment, material, or article by trade name/brand name. References of this type shall not be construed as limiting competition, but shall be regarded as establishing the physical, functional and performance needs in order to meet the minimum level of quality or reliability desired. These brand name references are not intended to limit materials or services to only the brand name UNLESS a Justification and Approval (J&A) is included with the FOPR. If there are any questions regarding the Government’s definition of minimum quality or reliability standards in reference to a brand name a request for additional information shall be requested in writing to the Contracting Officer within five (5) business days of receiving the FOPR.

4.5 Pre-Proposal Site Visit

4.5.1 After the release of a FOPR, the Government and the Contractors will schedule and conduct a pre- proposal site visit for the project.

4.5.2 Any questions asked during the site visit or identified after the site visit shall be submitted in writing as a Request for Information (RFI) to the Contracting Officer and designated Contract Specialist within the timeframe set in the solicitation. The Contracting Officer will provide a finalized scope of work by amendment (if necessary) to the FOPR following submission of the site visit questions, unless determined otherwise by the Contracting Officer.

4.5.3 As part of meeting the requirements of FAR 52.236-3, Site Investigation and Conditions

Affecting the Work, 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 42d CES Civil Engineer Squadron, Bldg. 1060; drawing vault. Contractors will be required to bring a copy of the FOPR signed by the Contracting Officer to the drawing vault in order to be authorized prints. 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.

Failure to provide such notification will not relieve the contractor from his responsibility of meeting the design criteria and/or contract specifications regardless of whether or not the submittal is approved by the Government.

6.5. Material submittals shall be as specified under each specification section and be submitted in electronic format. All the material submittals as indicated in the applicable specification section shall be submitted at the same time. If the submittal requirement is listed on the drawings, all material submittals of like work shall be submitted simultaneously along with all corresponding specification sections. A system of standard submittals for each contractor will be used to minimize the submittal requirement. Failure to submit all material submittals associated with an individual specification section at the same time may be cause for rejection.

6.6. Submittal Classifications: Submittals are classified as follows:

6.6.1. Government Approved: Governmental approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, shop drawings, and other items as indicated on the Submittal Register or as designated by the Contracting Officer.

If approved and the contractor intends to use previously approved materials or equipment, a letter certifying the specific material or equipment in lieu of a submittal is acceptable.

Certification letter will contain the task order number and approved electronic copies of AF Form 3000 submittal.

6.6.3. Approved Submittals: The Contracting Officer’s approval of submittals shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction, materials, methods and other information are satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for any error that may exist, as the contractor under the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) requirements of this contract is responsible for dimensions, the design of adequate connections and details, and the satisfactory construction of all work. After submittals have been approved by the Contracting Officer, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution is necessary.

6.6.4. Disapproved Submittals: The contractor shall make all corrections required by the

Contracting Officer and furnish a corrected submittal. Corrected submittals shall be submitted within three (3) working days, or as required by the disapproved submittal, after receipt of disapproval, in the form and number of copies specified for the initial submittal.

If the contractor considers any correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the contract, a notice in accordance with the Contract Clause “Changes” shall be given promptly to the Contracting Officer.

6.7. Submittal Scheduling: Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently.

Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled. Adequate time (a minimum of fourteen

(14) calendar days) shall be allowed for review and approval.
