Following submittal of the proposal and at the Government’s discretion, discussions may be held with the Contractor to clarify and/or negotiate elements of the proposal.

p. Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) – A package of documents issued to the Contractor requesting a cost proposal for construction and design documents for a project based on the TO. Following submittal of the proposal and at the Government’s option, discussions may be held with the Contractor to clarify and / or negotiate elements of the proposal. The FOPR will be issued on design or design-build TO.

3. DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

a. A FOPR issued under this contract will be issued to all MACC IDIQ Contractors and will include a SOW/SOO defining the project requirements. The project may ultimately require the Contractor to produce a full design, partial design, or no design depending on the type of TO request. For example, a new project with no, or partial, previous design accomplished will be issued as an FOPR and will include requirements to provide a 35% (minimum) design as part of the Contractor’s proposal. If awarded a TO for the project, the successful Contractor will, as necessary, complete the design to the 95% level. Conversely, a project for which a 95% design is already available will only require a cost proposal in the prescribed format.

In addition, the TO may include the following:

(1) Government prepared SOW/SOO, sketches, and any available as-builts, specifications, or design information.

(2) Design calculations requirements.

(3) Construction drawings requirements including professional certifications.

(4) Direction regarding fast-track vs. design-build.

(5) Timeframes for preparing the proposal, completing design work (if awarded), and completing construction.

(6) Contractor prepared specification sections and version required.

(7) Submittal requirements.

(8) GFM or GFE.

b. Proposals received in the FOPR format will be evaluated based on compliance with the design requirements and the proposed price. The Government reserves the right to enter into discussions with the Contractor for the purpose of requesting minor revisions to the proposals.

c. The Contractor may be required to work within controlled or restricted areas in accordance with SOW Paragraphs 25, 26 and 27.

4. PROPOSAL CLASSIFICATIONS:

Due to mission requirements, the Government can rarely wait thirty (30) calendar days to receive proposals from vendors for various projects at the TO level. To mitigate, the Government will classify projects as Routine, Urgent, or Emergency, which in turn will inform the Contractor of proposal due date times. The proposal timeline will start immediately following the site visit; however, the Government reserves the right to issue the FOPR without conducting a site visit and thus, starting the proposal timeline.

Routine: Contractors will have thirty (30) calendar days to provide a proposal.

Urgent: Contractors will have seven (7) calendar days to provide a proposal, unless otherwise specified in the

FOPR.

Emergency: Contractors will have forty-eight (48) hours to provide a proposal.

5. COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION AND COMPLETION OF WORK:

The Contractor shall commence work and complete the project in accordance with the time frames established in the TO and Notice to Proceed (NTP). At completion of project, the Contractor shall fill out and submit the Government provided “Transfer and Acceptance of Military Real Property (DD 1354).

10. PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

Ninety (90) days before the anniversary of the contract award date, the Government shall perform an assessment of each MACC Contractor’s performance based on their current and past performance on MACC task orders. For purposes of the performance, the following criteria is how each Contractor will be evaluated annually. The Government will evaluate each Contractor’s participation rate, reason(s) for non-participation, and overall work performance for TOs completed, or in progress. The Government reserves the right to implement performance evaluations into the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for all TOs. A Contractor rated as Satisfactory* may remain in the competition pool. Failure to participate in good faith and/or a TO performance assessment rating of Marginal** or Unsatisfactory***, under the CPARS rating system, may result in the Contractor being off-ramped from the MACC. If a Contractor has failed to comply with the terms and conditions of the MACC and task order(s), the Government reserves the right to not issue future solicitations to that contractor and/or terminate their contract. This shall serve as the "Off-Ramping" process. The Off-Ramped contractor will be required to continue any active projects until completion, unless otherwise terminated.

RATING DEFINITIONS:

*Satisfactory:

To receive a Satisfactory (S) rating, Contractor must maintain 70% participation in all MACC FOPRs and maintain a Satisfactory Rating per TO.

Satisfactory (S) Rating: Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element, or sub-element, contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the Contractor appear or were satisfactory. Additionally, to justify a Satisfactory rating, there should have been only minor problems, or major problems the Contractor recovered from without impact to the contract/order. A fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that Contractors will not be evaluated with a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract/order

** Marginal:

A Marginal (M) rating will be given if the Contractor has a participation rating of less than 70%, but more than

50%, of all MACC FOPRs, or a Marginal rating on any TO. Subsequently, the CO shall make a determination regarding the continuance of any Contractor receiving a Marginal (M) rating. The Contractor may provide written documentation that identifies extenuating circumstances or a performance improvement plan for consideration by the CO.

Marginal (M) Rating: Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element, or sub-element, being evaluated reflects a serious problem for which the Contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The Contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented. A Marginal rating should be supported by referencing the management tool that notified the Contractor of the contractual deficiency (e.g., management, quality, safety, or environmental deficiency report or letter).

*** Unsatisfactory:

An Unsatisfactory (U) will be given if the Contractor has a participation rating of less than 50% in all MACC FOPRs, or an Unsatisfactory rating on any TO. The CO shall make a determination regarding the continuance of any Contractor receiving an UNSATISFACTORY (U) rating. The Contractor may provide written documentation that identifies extenuating circumstances, or a performance improvement plan, for consideration by the CO.

Unsatisfactory (U) Rating: Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element, or sub-element, contains a serious problem(s) for which the Contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective. An Unsatisfactory rating should be supported by referencing the management tools used to notify the Contractor of the contractual deficiencies (e.g., management, quality, safety, or environmental deficiency reports, or letters).

11. PROGRESS OF WORK:

Once awarded a TO, the Contractor shall submit, for approval, all work schedules to the CO within ten (10) calendar days after start of work unless otherwise specified. The reports contemplated by the clause titled “Schedules for Construction Contracts” shall be accomplished on and in accordance with instructions pertaining to AF Form 3064, Contract Progress Schedule, and AF Form 3065, Contract Progress Report.

12. MATERIAL APPROVAL SUBMITTAL FORM:

(AF FAR SUP 5336.290): All material and articles requiring approval, as contemplated by the Materials and Workmanship Clause, shall be submitted by the Contractor. All wall covering, carpet and other fabric type submittals will show the full pattern of material as a minimum. All applicable submittals shall be grouped in color boards as installed, i.e. carpet, paneling, chair-rail, wall covering and ceiling tile. Contractor is responsible for identifying and locating required materials for submittals to include matching any existing materials.

The program management staff shall have project design oversite, quality control, and construction and financial management capability. The program manager shall have a minimum of five (5) years experience as a program manager, and shall have the authority to negotiate TOs and modifications thereto and obligate the company for TOs.

The program manager shall have the authority to hire subcontractors. The program manager must be experienced in subcontract management.

14. QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN:

The Contractor shall designate on-staff personnel as project superintendents to document and resolve all quality problems and accomplish daily quality control inspections. The Contractor shall establish a method to identify poor performance and specify appropriate corrective action. Quality personnel will interface with Government personnel to ensure that quality is maintained at the highest level.

15. SUBCONTRACTING SUPPORT CAPABILITY:

The Contractor shall provide subcontractor management including surveillance, quality control, base access, and scheduling. Subcontractors must be available to ensure quick response times. The Contractor must have the ability to manage and control multiple subcontracts at multiple job locations. The Contractor must ensure subcontractors are competent and capable of handling all tasks assigned to them and shall ensure that each subcontractor is not assigned more work than they can satisfactorily accomplish.
