USE OF RECOVERED MATERIALS ON FEDERAL LANDS HIGHWAY PROJECTS

Section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.), requires Federal, State, and local procuring agencies using appropriated Federal funds to purchase items composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials practical. Use of recovered materials is strongly encouraged on Federal Lands Highway Projects. Highway construction items covered by the Environmental Protection Agency's Comprehensive Guidelines for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials include fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, traffic barricades, traffic cones, hydraulic mulch and compost for mulch.

Use of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and construction materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag on Federal Lands Highway Projects:

• It is the policy of the United States Government that fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag shall have maximum practicable opportunity for incorporation into its construction projects.

• The Contractor agrees to investigate the use of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag to the fullest extent consistent with the efficient performance of this contract. Both the contractor and the subcontractors are urged to seek out suppliers of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag, cement and concrete containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and to solicit bids for these materials.

• Names of firms that supply fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag are available from the American Coal Ash Association and the National Slag Association.

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

1. SUMMARY OF NEED.

The purpose of this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Multiple-Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) is to provide accelerated completion of construction for bridges on the island of Kauai in the State of Hawaii. The intent is to have MATOCs in place allowing for award of Task Orders within approximately 30 calendar days from the advertisement of any given Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP). This will require proposals or bids to be submitted within approximately 14 days from the IFB date for individual Task Orders. This procurement will result in award of three or more MATOCs. Work items for Task Orders will include, but not be limited to constructability reviews, logistical support, construction sequencing and phasing, construction, and other general construction services necessary to construct temporary and permanent works for the program of projects. The geographic area includes the Island of Kauai in the State of Hawaii.

The Government anticipates individual Task Orders ranging from $50,000 to $30,000,000. The minimum guaranteed amount for the entire life of the contract period is $50,000 for each contract awarded. The total maximum quantity to be ordered is $75,000,000.00 per contract for the length of the contract, including the options. The maximum per contract is calculated as the sum of all anticipated Task Order awards, including modifications within the scope of the contract. At the Contracting Officer’s discretion, projects under $50,000 may also be awarded under this contract. Contractors will be required to demonstrate bonding capacity of up to $30,000,000 per task order with an aggregate capacity of up to $75,000,000. Bonding will only be required for individual task orders.

2. SPECIFICATIONS.

It is anticipated that the majority of work will generally incorporate the specifications of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and specifications based on the Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects (FP-14 in U.S. Customary Units). The following web sites contain information that may be used in the development of Task Orders:

Standard Specifications (FP-14) The Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects (FP-14) are issued primarily for constructing roads and bridges on Federal Highway projects under the direct administration of the Federal Highway Administration.

http://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/specs/fp-14/fp14.pdf

3. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR TASK ORDERS.

It is anticipated that most, if not all, of the Task Orders will be awarded based on competition between all MATOC contract holders.

Task Orders will not be publicly opened or released. Unsuccessful offerors' task proposal information will not be made available to the public, however, the information will be shared among other bidders (bid tabs will be shared with all MATOC holders after each Task Order bid http://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/specs/fp-14/fp14.pdf

C-2 opening.)

(a) Task Order Synopsis. When the Government requires work under the MATOC and time allows, a Task Order synopsis will be issued to the MATOC contractors. The synopsis will provide a brief description of the project and the anticipated issue date.

The synopsis may be issued via e-mail, fax or mail.

(b) Construction Task Orders: When the Government requires work under the MATOC, a TO-IFB or TO-RFP will be issued. The TO will include information concerning the project such as contract requirements, physical data, drawings, site visit details, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements (may include bid schedule, proposal requirements, etc).

1) Task Order Pre-award Expenses. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for proposal preparation, attendance during negotiations, site visits, walk-through or other pre-Task Order costs.

2) Site Visits. Failure to visit the site cannot be used as an excuse for omission or miscalculation in offers. The Government may or may not schedule an organized site visit for individual Task Orders.

3) Proposal Contents. Depending upon the requirements of each TO, the Contractor may be required to provide a price proposal only, or a technical proposal and a price proposal. Contractors shall respond within the number of calendar days stated in the TO by submitting a proposal to the Contracting Officer in accordance with the specific requirements of the TO.

4) Contract Prices—Bid Schedules. The Government’s payment for the items listed in the Bid Schedule of individual Task Orders shall constitute full compensation to the Contractor for—(1) Furnishing all labor, equipment, services, and materials; and (2) Performing all operations required to complete the work in conformity with the Task Order. The Contractor shall include in the prices for the items listed in the Bid Schedule all costs for work in the scope of work, whether or not specifically listed in the Bid Schedule.

5) Competing for a Task Order. All MATOC Contract holders will be given the opportunity to compete on all Task Orders, unless the Contracting Officer determines past performance makes the Contractor ineligible, or a sole source action is justified (see Section 4 below). In determining eligibility to compete, the Contracting Officer will consider such factors as performance on Task Orders under the MATOC contract, quality, timeliness, special expertise or other factors the Contracting Officer determines are relevant to the award of a particular Task Order. Failure to prosecute the work diligently on Task Orders may be cause for the Contracting Officer to determine a Contractor ineligible to compete on a future TO.

C-3

6) Declining a Task Order. Contractors are required to submit a proposal for each task order. Failure to propose on a Task Order can result in negative past performance, as competing on all Task Orders is important to maintaining the competitive environment of the MATOC.

7) Evaluation Method and Procedures. The basis of award for individual Task Orders may vary depending upon the goals and objectives of each Task Order.

The basis of award will be described in the TO. Examples of basis for award are:

a) TO-IFB: The Task Order award will be based on price only (Invitation for Bid, following FAR Part 14).

b) TO-RFP: The Task Order will be awarded to the Contractor offering the best value to the Government, considering both price and non-price factors. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer. The TO-RFP will describe whether price is less important, more important or equal in importance to non-price factors. (Request for Proposal, following FAR Part 15 procedures).

8) Award Decision. Most task orders will be issued using a TO-IFB and will follow sealed bidding procedures and will be awarded to the contractor submitting the low bid. For TO-RFP’s, whenever possible, award will be made without discussions. All Task Orders will be firm fixed-price with a specific completion date or performance period. The Government reserves the right to reject all offers.

9) Task Order Format. The Task Order advertisement and award documents will contain task order-specific clauses and provisions.

(c) Task Order Award Notification. Task Order award will be via email or facsimile. The Task Order becomes binding when the Contracting Officer signs the order. The Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued separately, normally after receipt of acceptable performance and payment bonds.

(d) Insurance. Appropriate proof of insurance, in accordance with FP-14 107.05, must be in place before work commences on any task order.

(e) Performance/Payment Bonds. The Contractor shall submit Performance and Payment Bond documents on a Task Order basis. The Contractor shall ensure the IDIQ contract number AND the Task Order number are included on each Performance and Payment Bond document. Bond documents not containing the required information will be rejected for corrections.

4. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR SOLE SOURCE ORDERS.

C-4

(a) The Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a Task Order without competition based on a determination that:

1) The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays; or

2) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized; or

3) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order; or

4) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

(b) Subcontractor costs under sole source Task Orders must show adequate competition.

Adequate competition may normally be assumed when there are at least three independent subcontractor/supplier quotes. In extenuating circumstances the Contracting Officer may accept two quotes, upon request of the Contractor prior to submission of the proposal.

(c) If needed to determine price reasonableness, the Contractor shall provide copies of their bid worksheets that list the bid item cost breakout to include labor categories, hours, materials, subcontractor/supplier quotes and the prime contractor’s profit and overhead separately identified. The subcontractor/supplier quotes shall be in enough detail for the Government to be able to discern the scope of the services and materials included in the price.

All prices must be fair and reasonable. The Government may negotiate the proposal as deemed necessary.

5. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS.

At the conclusion of each Task Order Government will complete a Contractor’s performance evaluation in Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

6. GENERAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS.

(a) Individual Subcontracting Plan. Contractors selected for a base contract will be asked to provide a “Inidividual Subcontracting Plan” for approval by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall ensure the approved “Individual Subcontracting Plan” is implemented effectively and followed closely. The Contractor or Contracting Officer may request modifications to the “Individual Subcontracting Plan”. These requests must be in writing and approved by mutual agreement. Changes will be incorporated by modification. The

5) For Socioeconomic Set-asides.

C-5

Individual Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated into the basic contract. The base contract can not be awarded until Individual Subcontracting Plan is approved.

(b) Additional MATOC Awards. The Government reserves the right to issue additional solicitations and award additional contracts covering the same scope of work and geographic constraints as this contract. In this event, new MATOC Contractors, in accordance with the terms of their contracts, may compete for Task Orders with the Contractors selected under this solicitation.

7. WAGE RATES.

Davis-Bacon Wage Rates are applicable to construction Task Orders awarded under this contract. By submitting an offer, the Contractor agrees to comply with the current applicable Davis-Bacon Wage Determinations. The current Davis-Bacon Wage Determinations will be issued with each Task Order.

EVALUATION AND AWARD PROCESS:

The Tradeoff Source Selection procedures identified in FAR Part 15.101-1 will be utilized to select the successful contractors. Award of the Base IDIQ contracts will be made to the three or more offerors whose proposals provide the greatest overall value to the Government.

Award of Task Order Bridge No. 7 E, and Task Order Hanapepe Temporary Bridge will be made to the lowest bidder on each Task Order who has been awarded a base IDIQ contract.

D-3

Evaluation factors for the technical proposal are considered to be approximately equal to price. The Government reserves the right to award IDIQ contracts to other than the lowest priced offer. The Government intends to award without discussions; however, the Government reserves the right to enter into discussions if determined necessary. If discussions are determined to be necessary, technical and price proposals will be evaluated to determine a competitive range.

Firms within the competitive range will be required to travel to CFLHD offices for discussions per FAR 15.306 (d). If discussions are conducted, firms will be given approximately two weeks notice (following evaluation of proposals) to prepare for discussions and make travel arrangements.

A price evaluation will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price.

Reasonableness will be determined by adding total evaluated price of both task orders and considering other competitive prices received and comparison to the independent Government estimate.

Proposals will be evaluated based only on the evaluation factors described herein. The Government will evaluate each offeror’s understanding of the government’s requirements on the basis of its written proposal and discussions (if needed).

Technical Proposals will receive a preliminary review to determine whether the proposal contains sufficient information, as required by instructions for the Submission of Offers and Other Information, to allow the Government to perform a meaningful evaluation. If the results of this preliminary review indicate that the proposal lacks sufficient information to allow a meaningful evaluation to be conducted, the Source Selection Authority (SSA) may eliminate the proposal from further evaluation and consideration for an award. Any offeror's proposal eliminated at this stage from further evaluation or consideration for an award will be notified with the reasons why its proposal was eliminated from further evaluation or consideration for award in accordance with FAR 15.503.

The Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) will evaluate price based on the bid schedule in Volume II (Total for Schedule A(A+B) plus Volume III (Total for Schedule A (A+B). The TEP will not have access to price information until the technical evaluation process is complete. The Government will not select an offeror for award on the basis of a superior evaluation of their technical proposal without consideration of price.
