GENERAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

1.0 CONTRACT DESCRIPTION AND DEFINITIONS

1.1. MACC DESCRIPTION: The Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) is an Indefinite- Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for execution of a broad range of design-build and construction projects affecting real property, including infrastructure, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix- Lakehurst (JBMDL), New Jersey. A ‘Task Order Request for Proposal’ (TORFP) will be issued on an as needed basis under this MACC contract to define specific project requirements involving Design- Build and/or Construction only requirements. Work may involve new construction, demolition, and/or alteration, repair, upgrade, maintenance, and renovation projects. The work may consist of multiple disciplines and various trades. See paragraph 2.1 for Contract Requirements. All design/construction shall be in compliance with this Specification and all applicable references and project documents.

1.2 DEFINITIONS:

1.2.1 Design-Build: Design-Build is a method of project delivery in which one entity – the Design- Build team (Designer and Construction Contractor) – works under a single contract with a single point of responsibility to provide design and construction services. Design-Build is an alternative to the traditional Design-Bid-Build project delivery method. To be clear, under the Design-Bid-Build approach, design and construction services are split into separate entities, separate contracts, separate work, separate responsibility. In all regards, one of the measures of the Contractor’s effectiveness of this Task Order management and design, which will be a factor in the final performance evaluation of the Contractor, will be how well the goal of minimizing changes to the accepted design is met in a Design-Build delivery. The use of effective Quality Control during design and construction and the use of experienced and capable designers will also be considered factors.

1.2.2 Contracting Officer (CO): The Contracting Officer refers to a person with the authority to enter into, administer, change and/or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings. The term includes certain authorized representatives of the Contracting Officer acting within the limits of their authority as delegated by the Contracting Officer.

1.2.3 Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR): The Base Civil Engineer or his authorized representative is designated as the COTR (Construction Manager), for the purpose of technical surveillance and evaluation of the work performed under this contract. This designation in no way authorizes anyone other than the CO to commit the Government to changes in the terms of the contract. The COTR functions include, but is not limited to:

1. Technical administration and review of work in process.

2. Recommending approval/disapproval of shop drawings, samples and materials.

3. Reviewing and recommending approval/disapproval by the CO all applications for progress payments.

4. Reporting to the CO any work stoppage or discovered non-conforming work items.

5. Recommending destructive testing of work by the Contractor to the CO. Testing materials not otherwise specified to be performed by the Contractor or others.

Page. 5 of 81

6. Conducting Pre-Final and Final Acceptance Inspections to develop a recommendation to the for accepting/not-accepting the work.

1.2.4 Contract Clauses: Where Special Clauses or General Provisions are referred to in the specifications, reference should be to Contract Clauses.

1.2.5 Task Order (TO): An order placed against an established contract, which may contain the general requirements and parameters of a proposed project. Included with the TO may be a Statement of Work or Statement of Objectives that define specific technical requirements for the project. The TO may also include information such as budget limitations, design certifications and drawings required to be prepared by the Contractor.

1.2.6 Task Order Request for Proposal (TORFP): A solicitation for proposals to complete a Task Order (TO). TORFP will be issued to solicit all projects. Projects may be non-complex performance oriented tasks requiring minimal design may be complex construction requiring design development for design-build construction, or a combination thereof. In rare cases, the TORFP may not have traditional plans and specifications as described herein but may include sketches, and requests for catalog cuts, and other submittals.

1.2.7 Statement of Work (SOW): Written descriptions documenting work required by each Government TO. May be provided by the Government or prepared by the Contractor, depending on the individual TO. Included in the SOW are the specific technical requirements for the project.

1.2.8 Statement of Objectives (SOO): The initial document, with drawings where applicable, provided to the Contractor by the Government outlining the overall performance objectives to be completed. It is used in solicitations when the Government intends to provide the maximum flexibility to each offeror to propose an innovative approach.

1.2.9 Professional Certification: The process of affixing a seal or statement to a drawing or design document to indicate that the work to which it is affixed has been performed by a person licensed as a professional, in that area of expertise, in the state of New Jersey.

1.2.10 Color Board: A visual presentation consisting of samples of the various finishes, grouped together based on location within the project. Samples shall be of adequate size to show the full pattern, texture, and color of each item.

1.2.11 Designer of Record (DOR): The individual accountable for specific portions of the design documents. Where professional certification is required for the design, the DOR would be the individual providing certification for that portion of the design. Where professional certification is not required, the DOR would typically be the individual who provided the design or specifications for a particular aspect of the project (i.e.: architectural, civil, structural, mechanical or electrical).

1.2.12 Direct Design Cost: This cost includes direct engineering design time used to create drawings and specifications for the project.

1.2.13 Indirect Design Cost: This cost includes site visits and site investigations, administrative support, project manager during design, surveying on site, reproduction of drawings and prints, test soil borings, water flow testing of existing fire hydrants, and meetings with base personnel during design.

1.3 TASK ORDER ISSUANCE PROCEDURES

1.3.1 Initial Contract Issue:

The initial MACC solicitation shall consist of an RFP on a single “seed” project. The solicitation will define the full project requirements for the “seed” project as well as the requirements of an acceptable proposal package. In addition to project construction, the project definition will require the awarded Contractor to produce either a full design, a partial design, or no design depending on the level of design already available and as provided in the initial MACC solicitation.

1.3.1.1 Initial Contract Issue Proposal Evaluation Criteria:

A set number of MACC awardees will be selected from the pool of offerors who submit proposals on the “seed” project. The selection of the MACC awardees will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria. The offerors submitting the lowest priced offers that have been determined as technically acceptable will be selected as MACC awardees. Of the MACC awardees, the “seed” project will be awarded to the one MACC awardee who submitted the lowest priced offer. The evaluation criteria utilized to determine contract award of the MACC awardees and ultimately of the “seed” project is defined in the initial MACC solicitation. Potential offerors must comply with the requirements stated in the solicitation to be considered for contract award.

1.3.2 Task Order REQUEST FOR ProposaL (TORFP): TORFP’s will be issued to solicit all projects under the MACC subsequent to contract award of the “seed” project. A TORFP issued under this contract shall, except in rare cases, be issued to all Contractors and will, at a minimum, include a SOO/SOW defining the project requirements. All costs for preparation of task order proposals, whether funded or unfunded, shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. At no time shall the government provide reimbursement for the preparation of proposals. The TO shall ultimately require the Contractor to produce a full design, partial design, or no design depending on the level of design already available and provided to the Contractor with the SOO/SOW. The TORFP shall, except in rare cases, consist of one of the following:

1.3.2.1 Full Design-Build Effort Required: A Full Design-Build (FD-B) consists of a Statement of Objectives with minimal supporting documentation; the Contractor shall be required to provide a Statement of Work and complete 10% design (as defined under design levels) along with their bid and, if awarded, shall complete the design in accordance with the TO and basic contract prior to commencing construction. The MACC Contractor shall develop project design documentation including drawings, specifications, design analysis, etc representative of a 35%, 65%, 95%, and/or 100% design effort, as identified within each TO.

16.505 Ordering. TORFPs shall be provided to all MACC Contractors. Any offers received shall be given fair consideration for award. Upon receipt of a project, Contractors shall be encouraged to participate in site visits and submit proposals. Failures by offerors to participate responsibly in site visits and submit proposals may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract or exclusion of the Contractor from further competition.

1.8 PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA: Proposals received in response to a TORFP will be evaluated based on compliance with the TORFP requirements and the proposed price utilizing LPTA criteria. The TORFP will indicate the minimum requirements which must be met in order for a proposal to be considered technically acceptable. The Government may issue Task Orders, in which evaluation factors will vary depending on the unique requirements of that specific Task Order. Any proposal which does not address all requirements set forth in the TORFP will be determined to be technically unacceptable. If required, the government reserves the right to enter into discussions

1.9 COMMENCEMENT OF WORK: No work under this contract shall commence until such a time as the CO issues a written TO and a Notice to Proceed (NTP) under the TO. The CO reserves the right to determine the issue date of any NTP.

The evaluations will take into account all aspects of the Contractor’s performance on all issued TOs. Furthermore, performance evaluations may be completed at any time the Contractor’s performance is considered less than satisfactory. Contractors will be provided an opportunity to provide input into the evaluation. The performance evaluations may have an impact on the award of future TOs

1.12 SOLICITATIONS WHEN FUNDS ARE NOT CERTIFIED: Occasionally the Government will solicit offers for projects for which funds are not certified nor readily available. Submission of proposals for these acquisitions is at the sole discretion of the respective MACC awardees and their declination to participate in any or all such solicitations will not reflect negatively upon them.

Contractors submitting a proposal/bid under this type of solicitation must provide an acceptance period as indicated in the solicitation that will allow award of the TO as late as the end of the fiscal year. If the project is awarded prior to expiration of the acceptance period, the Contractor will be issued a TO to perform the design work and accomplish the construction. If funding to award is not made available prior to the end of the fiscal year the solicitation will be cancelled and no award will be made.

6.0 SUBMITTALS

6.1 SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE: For some projects, a material submittal schedule will not be provided by the Government. Solicitation instructions will specify if offerors will be provided a material submittal schedule or if they are to include in their proposal a material submittal schedule. If the requirement for a material submittal schedule is absent from the individual solicitation documents, the following guidelines apply. After award, the Contractor awarded the contract shall complete and submit a material submittal schedule for approval by the Government. The Contractor shall identify all planned submittals dates on the schedule. Submit the schedule to the CO within 30 calendar days after contract award or within another agreed to timeframe as directed by the CO.

6.2 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE: The CO may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. Each submittal shall include an original AF Form 3000, Material Approval Submittal, and three (3) copies of supporting documentation. When available, the Government may request electronic copies of submittals via email, in lieu of hard copies. The availability and practicality of submitting electronically versus hardcopy will be discussed and agreed to during the initial pre-construction conference after contract award. In general, submittals shall be provided a minimum of 14 calendar days in advance of scheduled purchase to allow satisfactory time for government review. Additionally, unless stated otherwise, submissions on test results and other submissions of that nature shall be made within 14 days, after the work or test is performed. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient

Page. 11 of 81 detail for ready determination of compliance with the contract requirements. Submittal items that are disapproved will be promptly corrected and resubmitted within 10 calendar days by the Contractor. No materials or equipment shall be ordered or installed until submittals are approved by the CO or his/her representative. The approved submittals shall be available at the job site for inspection by the CO at all times. All submittals involving color selections, patterns and other decorative architectural features shall be submitted at the same time for both interior and exterior materials.

6.3 SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: Units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same as those used in the contract drawings. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. Submittals shall include items such as: Contractor’s work plans / schedules, material submittal register, samples, brochures, manufacturers data, product data sheets, shop drawings and/or certificates of materials (relative to the construction execution), Contractor's, manufacturer's, or fabricator's drawings; descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts or curves; installation procedures and recommendations; templates and other descriptive literature; test reports; test cylinders; samples;

O&M manuals (including parts list); certifications; warranties; and other such required submittals.

Catalog cuts and other descriptive data which may have more than one model or type shall be clearly marked to show the model, type, size, and all optional accessory equipment the Contractor proposes to install. Submittals on component items forming a system or interrelated items shall be submitted at one time as a single submittal in order to demonstrate that the items have been properly coordinated and will function as a unit. For example, for an air conditioning system, the submittals shall be made at the same time for piping, insulation, condensing units, air-handlers, pumps, valves, shop drawings, controls and other components that make-up the required work feature. Contractor shall plan for, and submit all submittals requiring Government approval prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby, in accordance with design criteria, specifications and Task Order Requirements. If the material submittals provided are in variance from the design criteria and/or contract specifications, the Contractor shall describe such variations in writing at the time of submission and request a variance from the design criteria and/or contract specifications in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. 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. Material submittals shall be as specified under each specification section. 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.

6.4 APPROVED EQUAL: The Statement of Work (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. References of this type shall not be construed as limiting competition, but shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality.

6.5 SUBMITTAL CLASSIFICATIONS: Submittals are classified as follows:

a) GOVERNMENT APPROVED: Governmental approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as indicated on the Submittal Register or as designated by the CO.

Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled “Specifications and Drawings for Construction,” they are considered to be “shop drawings”.

Page. 12 of 81

b) RE-CERTIFICATION: Contractor shall provide the requested submittals for each task order unless otherwise specifically approved by the CO for the task order in question. 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.

c) APPROVED SUBMITTALS: The CO’s approval of submittals shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction, materials, detailed 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 CO, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution is necessary.

d) DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS: The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the

CO and furnish a corrected submittal. Corrected submittals shall be submitted within seven (7) 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 CO.

6.6 MATERIAL APPROVAL SUBMITTAL FORM (AF Form 3000) shall be used. The Contractor shall fill out and submit an electronic Material Approval Submittal (AF Form 3000) for all the equipment and materials that are required to be submitted. Submit the required material submittals and shop drawings to the CO for approval.

6.6.1 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.

6.7 SUBMITTAL REGISTERS (AF FORM 66): Submittal Registers shall be submitted by the Contractor at the time the 90 percent design is submitted or within fourteen (14) calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed and prior to any material processing.

6.8 CONTROL OF SUBMITTALS: The Contractor shall carefully control his procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittal is made on or before the Contractor scheduled submittal date.

6.9 GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS: Upon completion of review of submittals and approval by the Government, the submittals will be identified as having received Government approval and dated. One copy of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.

7.0 PROJECT STATUS UPDATES

7.1 At a frequency determined by the CO, the Contractor is required to provide project status update meetings for all active projects. This meeting is to include staff from the 787th CES, Contracting Officials, and the Contractor. It will include any pertinent information regarding projects and provide a current percentage of completion for active construction projects.
