LOCAL PROCEDURES

1.0 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE:

1.1 Locations of work will be at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The specific place of performance will be designated on each individual Task Order.

1.2 Any place the terms "engineer", "civil engineer", "62 CES" or similar designations for the engineering function are used in the solicitation and subsequent contract the terms "Department of Public Works" or DPW are considered freely interchangeable.

1.3 Any place "McChord AFB" may appear "Joint Base Lewis-McChord" or JBLM are interchangeable. Joint Base Lewis-McChord encompasses the entire facilities formerly known individually as Fort Lewis and McChord AFB.

1.4 References to the 62d Contracting Squadron or 62 CONS are interchangeable with the terms Directorate of Contracting or DOC.

2.0 GENERAL CONTRACT DESCRIPTION

2.1 This is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for construction efforts at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Washington. The government will award construction projects by individual Task Orders on an as needed basis. The contractor shall furnish all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to design, manage, and accomplish a broad range of maintenance, repair, alteration, and/or new construction work on various real property facilities. During the contract period construction, repair or renovation projects will be identified to the Contracting Officer who will issue individual Task Orders to the contractor to complete the work. The contractor shall maintain an office on JBLM in order to receive work requests and other related requirements to accomplish each individual Task Order. The work shall include tasks in various trades such as carpentry, pavement repairs, roofing, asbestos abatement/removal, demolition, concrete masonry, welding, etc.

2.1.1 Unit Price Guides (UPG): UPGs include commercial pricing tools such as computer cost databases and libraries of hard copy books. The R.S. Means © cost data books are the designated UPGs for this solicitation and contract. UPGs consist of detailed task specifications along with a standard unit of measure and a unit price for each. Because the task specifications and prices apply to a general area or industry, it is necessary to tailor the UPG to the costs and practices of a specific location. This step, which is called “localization,” is critical to the success of a SABER Program. Commercial software alternatives are available for the localization process and for compiling the basic task listings and standard unit prices. Examples of commercially available estimating software compatible with the R.S. Means database are those published by WinEstimator Inc., 4Clicks, Sage North America, R.S. MEANS, Inc., et al.

2.1.2 COEFFICIENTS (REFERENCE SECTION B LINE ITEM 0001) Coefficients are factors that are multiplied against the standard unit prices in the UPG to calculate task order (TO) prices. Proposed coefficients should cover cost elements such as overhead, profit, minimum design costs, G&A expenses, bond premiums, and gross receipts taxes etc.

2.1.2.1 Coefficient 01 applies to all work on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) during standard work hours except for task orders issued for work in a controlled area or otherwise requiring Government escorts. This coefficient remains valid for the entire contract period including any options exercised.

2.1.2.2 Coefficient 02 applies to all work on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) during standard work hours to be performed in controlled areas or otherwise requiring Government escorts. This coefficient remains valid for the entire contract period including any options exercised.

2.1.2.3 Coefficient 03 applies to all work on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) during non-standard work hours except for task orders issued for work in a controlled area or otherwise requiring Government escorts. This coefficient remains valid for the entire contract period including any options exercised.

2.1.2.4 Coefficient 04 applies all work on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) during non-standard work hours to be performed in controlled areas or otherwise requiring Government escorts. This coefficient remains valid for the entire contract period including any options exercised.

2.1.2.5 Coefficient 05 applies to items not covered by the Unit Price Guide contractually referred to as Non Pre-Priced Items. This coefficient shall take into account any efficiency factor the contractor applied to Coefficients 01, 02, 03 and 04. This coefficient remains valid for the entire contract period including any options exercised.

2.1.2.6 Coefficient 06 is for that portion of coefficients 01, 02, 03 and 04 attributed to project estimating. Estimates provided and paid for using this coefficient will remain valid for 120 calendar days from the date the negotiated estimate is accepted by the Government without consideration given to the quarterly pricing updates of the Unit Price Guide provided for elsewhere in this contract. This coefficient remains valid for the entire contract period including any options exercised. This coefficient applies for Task Order Requests for Proposal (TORFP) where the contractor does not execute a Hold Harmless Agreement in lieu of receipt of this estimating fee. Coefficient 06 is intended for use to expedite year-end or emergency requirements; the contracting officer may process SABER projects up to the point of award in advance of full project funding. Coefficient 06 is designated to compensate the contractor for the level of effort expended in estimating, designing, and negotiating the project task order in advance of full funding. Any payment the contractor receives under this line item will be offset by a reduction from the negotiated price of the TO if the project results in a later award. While it is not the government’s intent to have the contractor provide an estimating service for projects with no serious SABER construction consideration, the Government is not obligated to issue a Task Order for the construction work described in the Task Order issued for project estimating. The Contracting Officer will work closely with Civil Engineering to insure that projects priced in advance of funding are not excessive and that there is a high probability of funding. This coefficient may be used for anticipated construction projects at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. However, the Hold Harmless Agreement included as an attachment to this solicitation and contract will normally be included in individual TORFP for yearend requirements issued under the authority of a Special Advanced Authority or emergency requirements which the contractor may accept and sign in lieu of payment under this coefficient.

2.1.3 Task Order Pricing

2.1.3.1 The "bare costs" are defined as the UPG price from the column that includes the total costs before the application of any overhead and profit.

2.1.3.2 The prices established in the RS MEANS® database Bare Costs (which means no markup for overhead and profit) column, will be multiplied by the City Cost Index Weighted Average Total for Tacoma, Washington and totaled, then Washington State Use Tax at the rate specified for Zip Code 98438 shall be added for the material costs to arrive as the total to which the coefficient shall be applied; then this subtotal shall be multiplied by the applicable coefficient to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work.

2.1.3.3 In order to be considered for contract award, offerors must submit all coefficients included as part of Line Item 0001. These six coefficients shall remain valid for the entire contract period including any options exercised. The Government uses these multipliers to determine the price of work for each task on individual task orders. The coefficient will be represented as “net”, a “decrease from” or an “increase to”, the prices listed in RS MEANS®. An offer of “net” would be represented as “1.0.” An example of a decrease from the prices in RS MEANS® would be “0.98.” An example of an increase above the prices in RS MEANS® would be “1.10”.

2.1.3.4 Offered coefficients must contain all allowable contractor costs, including contingencies and profit. Examples of such costs are State gross receipts taxes and payroll taxes, such as FICA, workmen’s compensation (when not included in the wage determination), state and federal unemployment taxes for direct payroll employees, superintendents’ salaries, builders’ risk insurance, mobilization and demobilization expenses, and bond premiums; and various overhead expenses, such as project estimating, site office overhead, field office building, furniture, equipment, on-site office staff salaries, vehicle and construction equipment maintenance, office administrative expenses and a proportional share of home office overhead. The coefficient should also include all insurance, special clothing for workers, traffic barricades, flag persons, additional supervision, paperwork fees associated with a particular task order, consultant fees, all on and off site storage, etc.

2.1.4 Non-Pre-priced Items (NPIs):

2.1.4.1 Items of work not covered by the Unit Price Guide (UPG) but within its scope and general intent and necessary to complete the requirements of a specific task order may be negotiated and incorporated into the task order by the Contracting Officer. Non-pre-priced work shall be so noted on each task order and will not exceed 10% of the final negotiated amount. Proposed costs for non-pre-priced items will be supported by three verifiable price quotes where possible.

2.1.4.2 Coefficient 05 shall be applied to the quoted, verified and negotiated NPI costs to arrive at the total cost for any NPIs before inclusion in the total task order price.

2.1.4.3 To permit recurrent use, a non-pre-priced line item must be incorporated by supplemental agreement into a locally developed non-pre-priced UPB. This may be done at any time during the contract period.

2.1.5 Construction projects under this contract will generally range from $2,000 to $750,000. However, where the Contracting Officer has determined in writing that an emergency exists or that the project is of such pressing need the maximum task order amount may be increased to $1,000,000 for an individual project. There is no pertinent historical information from previous SABER contracts due to the recent consolidation of Fort Lewis and McChord AFB into the Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The estimated value of task orders is $9, 500,000 per year with a maximum contract program value of $47,500,000 over the life of the contract.

2.1.6 Ordering Procedures.

2.1.6.1 Work under this contract will be ordered by written Task Orders issued on DD Form 1155 (Order for Supplies or Services) to the contractor by the Contracting Officer.

2.1.6.2 Each award as a result of this solicitation will cite an individual Task Order number. Individual Task Order will be placed in a sequential numbering system, which relate back to the basic contract and their assigned Task Order Number.

2.1.6.3 The Government will not be obligated to reimburse the contractor for work performed, items delivered, or any costs incurred, nor shall the contractor be obligated to perform, deliver, or otherwise incur costs except as authorized by duly executed Task Orders. Requests for proposals will indicate funds availability. Occasionally, the government will request a proposal for projects for which funds are not certified or readily available. Air Mobility Command (AMC) refers to these acquisitions as “Normal Straddle Bid” or “Special Advance Authority” (SAA) projects. Information specifically identifying these projects and the funding restriction will be included in the request for proposal.

2.1.6.4 Task Orders will be firm fixed price and clearly define the specific services to be performed or the performance desired. Each Task Order may contain additional, site or project specific, provisions. Any such additional provisions shall be a part of the Task Order Request for Proposal.

2.1.6.5 Task Order projects shall be for non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring design up to 35%. Some projects may be already designed or require very little design effort. The ordering procedures are defined in the basic SABER specifications, Attachment 1.

2.1.6.6 Task Orders may be modified by the Contracting Officer. Modifications to Task Orders will be issued on Standard Form (SF) 30 and cite the Task Order Number.

2.1.6.7 Contractors are required to contact the Contracting Officer within two days after receipt of Task Order Request for Proposal (TORFP) if they plan not to participate in the walk through or submit a proposal on a Task Order.

2.1.6.8 Contractors are required to comply with the provisions identified at FAR 52.223-4 and 52.223-9, Alt 1.

2.1.6.9 The unit price data provided by the RS MEANS® UPG in the estimating database and the contractor supplied estimating software shall serve as the basis for establishing the value of the work performed on a unit price basis.

2.1.6.10 The contractor must include justification for any non-pre-priced work included for an individual requirement. The contractor shall first attempt to price all unit prices using the computerized database provided by RS MEANS®. If an item is not included in this database or if the contractor’s computer system is not available, the contractor shall use the hard copy of the MEANS Facility Construction Cost Data to price the items. If the contractor cannot locate a particular item in either of these sources, the contractor shall then extend the search to the following MEANS pricing guides before considering it a non-priced item.

Mechanical Cost Data

Plumbing Cost Data

Electrical Cost Data

Assemblies Cost Data

Repair and Remodeling Cost Data

2.1.6.11 The contractor’s proposal shall be supported by necessary documentation to indicate that adequate engineering and planning to accomplish the requirement have been done. Examples of documentation that might reasonably be expected would include drawings, calculations, catalog cuts, specifications, architectural renderings, etc.

2.1.6.12 Time for submittal of the contractor’s proposal for individual requirements will be as agreed upon by the government and the contractor or as specified in the TORFP.

2.1.6.13 Upon receipt of the contractor’s proposal, the Government will review the proposal for completeness. The Government will negotiate with the contractor all non-pre-priced items, quantities for pre-priced items, and performance times.

2.1.6.14 Each task order will include the following information.

Item number, description, material submittal requirements, quantity and unit prices for pre-priced and non-pre-priced items and total. This is accomplished by incorporating the entire negotiated agreement into the task order.

Task order price and delivery or performance date.

Liquidated damages, if any.

Any statement of work, drawings, or other pertinent data.

Any other task order unique Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or departmental FAR supplement clauses required for a particular project. These additional provisions shall also be stated in the TORFP.

2.1.7 SEPARATE REQUIREMENT FOR PROJECT ESTIMATING:

2.1.7.1 In order to expedite year-end Normal Straddle Bid, Special Advance Authority, or emergency requirements, the government may request the contractor to prepare a design and cost proposal and participate in negotiations for a specific project prior to the Government's receipt of full project funding. This effort will be referred to as Project Estimating. Compensation for Project Estimating will be determined by multiplying each task negotiated for the work described in the request for proposal (individual Task Order) times the figure entered on the Price Schedule for Project Estimating. It is paramount that the figure entered on the Schedule for Project Estimating represent only that portion of CLIN 0009 (option year CLIN as appropriate), attributed to Project Estimating. The figure shall remain constant for the duration of the contract, to include any options that may be exercised and shall not be construed as an additional cost under the contract. Only the CLIN for Project Estimating shall be computed on Task Orders issued for that purpose.

2.1.7.2 Once funds become available for the actual construction of a project previously negotiated under a project estimating Task Order, the amount previously paid under that Task Order shall be deducted from the total price of the Task Order issued for the actual construction.

2.1.7.3 While it is not the government's intent to have the contractor provide an estimating service for projects with no serious SABER construction consideration, the Government is not obligated to issue a Task Order for the construction work described in the Task Order issued for project estimating.

2.1.7.4 If the Government and the contractor cannot come to an agreement on a particular project to be priced under the project estimating process, negotiations shall be terminated without cost to the government.

2.2 PROPOSAL PREPARATION COSTS

2.2.1 The costs for preparation of Task Order proposals shall be the responsibility of the contractor and not reimbursable. Each Task Order awarded will include, at a minimum, all labor wages, management, supervision, mobilization, material and equipment costs, and any costs associated with any required design effort.

If there is a conflict between these codes, regulations, and specifications, the most stringent requirement shall apply at all times.

5.0 PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS: At the conclusion of each task order, the Contracting Office will complete a contractor’s performance evaluation when applicable. The evaluation will take into account all aspects of the contractor’s performance. Evaluations will be accomplished electronically using the Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS).

6.0 EXCLUSION PERIODS: Exclusion Periods may be incorporated into individual Task Orders as determined by the Contracting Officer. Some exterior work may not be able to be performed during the period between November 15th through April 15th inclusive, and such period will not be considered in computing the time allowed for completion. However, the contractor may request and be allowed to work during this period at the contractor’s own risk if permitted by the Contracting Officer.

7.0 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION: Administration of the Task Orders under this contract will be performed by 62 CONS/LGCA (SABER), Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Washington.

Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with the Specifications and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used” etc., will be considered unacceptable. The following technical subfactors comprise the Mission Capability Technical/Mission Capability Risk (Volume I) portion of the technical proposal:

1.3.1 SUBFACTOR 1 - Project Management Ability

1.3.1.1 Offerors shall address their management organization, to include a description of functions, authorities and credentials of key management personnel fulfilling at a minimum the personnel requirements specified with the contract specifications section 01000 paragraph 1.2.3 (Project Management, CAD/GIS Support, Site Superintendence, Quality Control, subcontract purchasing and administration and general office administration). Offerors shall address their plan for acquiring qualified subcontractors. The methods and criteria described must include consideration of subcontractor’s previous experience, present capabilities, and quality of previous jobs to ensure effective management of subcontractors and ensure quality workmanship and timely completion.

1.4 FACTOR 2 PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME II

1.4.1 Contents of Past Performance Volume:

The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

Table of Contents

Summary Page describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Information Sheets on in accordance with paragraph 1.4.2 below.

Organization Structure Change History—See paragraph 1.4.5 below.

Past Performance Questionnaire in accordance with Attachment 6, Section J. Past Performance Information and Past Performance Questionnaire—See paragraph 1.4.6. below. Past Performance Questionnaires received from third party evaluators do not count toward the Volume II page limitation.

1.4.2 Past Performance Information Sheets: The offeror shall submit 3 to 5 Past Performance Information Sheets, each for the contractor and/or teaming/JV partner, identifying active or completed contracts, either Government or commercial, for each prime, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner. Data presented must include only relevant contracts held within the past five (5) years and demonstrate an ability to handle multiple projects with multiple disciplines. The following information must be provided for each contract identified on the Past Performance Information Sheets, limited to two (2) pages per contract described:

Contract Number

Total dollar value

Procuring agency

Title of contract

Name, address and current telephone number of contract administrator/contracting officer

Description of project (including its relevancy to this acquisition)

Period of performance

Type of contract

Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past and present performance.

1.4.3 Relevant Contracts: Relevant past performance information must demonstrate non-complex requirements (up to 35% design) with multiple projects being performed simultaneously involving multiple disciplines, such as construction, renovation, alteration and repair, with multiple disciplines, along with specific work in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical, mechanical and other major trades. Projects should be similar in size, scope, and complexity as those anticipated under this contract, i.e., having a project value between $2,000 and $750,000, and include projects with the Federal Government, state and local government agencies, and commercial customers.

1.4.4 Provide data for up to 5 relevant contracts held within the last five years for each entity the offeror wants the Government to consider. Performance Information Sheets for each contract is limited to 2 pages. Include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance. Note that the Government will not consider performance on an effort that concluded more than 5 years prior to the issuance date of this solicitation. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. To clearly link the past performance information to the mission capability subfactors, the offeror should identify which contracts are relevant indicators of performance against a mission capability subfactor.

Categorize the relevance information into the specific evaluation subfactor(s) used to evaluate the proposal:

Subfactor 1 – Project Management Ability

Subfactor 2 – Quality Control Plan

Subfactor 3 – Project Development/Planning

Subfactor 4 - Minimal Design and Completeness of Seed Project

1.4.5 Specific Content: Offerors may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a Little Confidence or No Confidence rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The offeror is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This may allow the offeror to be considered a High Confidence or Significant Confidence candidate. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an offeror has overcome past problems is required.

1.4.5 Organizational Structure Change History: Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

1.4.6 Past Performance Questionnaires: The offeror shall send out Past Performance Questionnaires to each of the Points of Contact (POCs) identified in the Past Performance Volume. In turn, the evaluating agencies shall submit the completed questionnaire directly to Mr. Terry Seaverns at Terry.Seaverns@mcchord.af.mil AND Mr. Clifford Jackson at Clifford.Jackson@mcchord.af.mil or by facsimile to (253) 982-3656 no later than May 20, 2010. No questionnaire submittals will be accepted from the offeror being evaluated. Once the evaluator completes the questionnaires, the information shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to the offeror. The desired questionnaire that is to be transmitted to each point of contact is provided in Section J, Attachment 6.

1.4.7 Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor, Joint Venture Partner or Team Member cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide a consent form all subcontractors, JV Partners or Team Members that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to release of their past performance information to the prime contractor. A sample consent is provided as Attachment 7 in Section J.

FACTOR 3

PRICE

VOLUME III

1.5.1. Price/Cost: The price/cost proposal shall consist of separate coefficients as solicited in the Schedule B. Offerors shall explain the basis for development of the coefficients. The explanation shall, as a minimum, address offeror’s perception of the accuracy of the unit price book (RSMeans©), and the basis for any assumptions regarding expected volume (dollars) of work under the contract and a list of the components of cost that were used in developing the proposed coefficients. The list of cost components will be used by the evaluation team to be sure all costs that could be reasonably incurred are included in the proposed coefficients.

1.5.2. Bonds: Offeror shall provide a letter from a surety attesting to bonding capability.
