SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION OF BASE ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS

SABER

341 CIVIL ENGINEER SQUADRON

MALMSTROM AFB, MT

STATEMENT OF WORK

24 October 2007

1. - Summary of Expectations This is a contract for construction efforts at Malmstrom AFB, MT.

The government will define the scope of individual projects with anywhere from a 35% to a 95% design. From this design the contractor must complete the design and develop a cost estimate to meet customer requirements for each identified project. The contractors will have set delivery periods to provide completed cost estimates determined by the government. Typical timelines are as follows:

Initial design drawings are also required within this timeframe. These drawings do not have to be 100% design quality but they must be complete enough to be able to quantify items and negotiate the Task Order (TO).

Each construction project will be awarded by an individual TO issued against the basic contract and specifying work in support of real property maintenance, repair, alteration, and new construction. The Base Civil Engineer (BCE) will identify construction tasks required to complete each specific job and the Contracting Office (CO) will issue request for proposals (RFPs) and award individual TO’s.

There are no fiscal caps on individual task orders other than those provided within Air Force Instructions (AFIs 32-1032, 32-1022, and 32-6002). The service provider shall furnish all construction equipment, supplies and material needed to perform the work unless otherwise stipulated in the TO specific statement of work (SOW).

2. - Services To Be Provided

2.1 Technical Design Support Services

Each service provider shall provide project design services. Areas of required design competence shall include, but are not limited to: architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and drafting/surveying capabilities. Individual projects will vary in size and scope, with the majority expected to be of a small to medium size. Minimal design effort is defined as the capability to provide builder’s plans of the type routinely developed in commercial practice and/or as provided and supplemented by industry such as pre-engineered building manufactures, major heating ventilation and air conditioning equipment suppliers, fire suppression system suppliers and similar industry standards. The Contractor’s staff shall include at least one registered Professional Engineer (PE) who is well versed in multi-discipline design and construction.

The Contractor must demonstrate design capabilities of providing quality, cost effective small scale design efforts for multiple task orders simultaneously and within the time constraints established in the SABER specifications. Designs shall comply with current applicable building codes, and with applicable Air Force Instructions, Design Guides and Engineering Technical Letters as well as all applicable Federal and State Regulations. The contractor will be provided with the Government’s initial concept design and Statement of Work (SOW) for each TO. The Contractor shall then be responsible for further development of the government’s concept design to a point where his designs/drawings clearly indicate the proposed method of accomplishing the work, as well as the description, size, and location of all proposed elements of work. The Contractor’s design must comply with the government’s concept design requirements as well as all governing codes and SABER Technical Specifications.

Project estimates will be prepared accurately and timely using the R.S. Means Facilities Construction Cost Data Book to calculate the material and labor portion of projects. Proposals will be submitted using the WinEstimator program. Total project costs will be a combination of RS Means labor, equipment and material plus application of the Great Falls city cost index. This is then multiplied by a standard coefficient supplied by the service providers.

The offerors proposed coefficient is to cover cost elements such as overhead, profit, design costs, G&A expenses, bond premiums, gross receipts taxes and all the sections in division 1, General requirements, of RS Means as specified within section 01000 of the SABER specifications.

7. - Performance Objectives There are five primary metrics in the SABER contract. They are project quality, punch list items, project timeliness, design deficiency modifications, and proposal/design drawing timeliness. These metrics will be measured on a TO by TO specific basis using the grading criteria listed below. These scores will be used to grade the contractors on each TO within the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

7.1. - Project Quality – The SABER Section will grade the construction based upon the overall craftsmanship, and number of punch list items.

A score of one (1) means the project received more than 10 punch list items.

A score of two (2) means the project received 7 to 10 punch list items.

A score of three (3) means the project received 4 to 6 punch list items.

A score of four (4) means the project received 1 to 3 punch list items A score of five (5) means the project received no write-ups.

If there are any carry over punch list items from a pre-final inspection on the final inspection the best the contractor can receive for this portion of the evaluation is a one (1) regardless of the number of punch list items on the pre-final.

7.3. - Project Timeliness - Project timeliness will be based upon the contractor’s ability to meet established project deadlines. This is to include any intermediate timelines established for a phased project. The government will provide the timeline with the RFP. The contractor(s) have the right to accept this timeline or counter with a different timeline as part of their individual proposal. The government reserves the right to reject the counter proposal or make a compromise prior to the award of the TO. Project timeliness will be graded from one to five.

A score of one (1) means the project deadline was missed by over 5% of the TO performance period.

A score of two (2) means the project deadline was missed by up to 5% of the TO performance period.

A score of three (3) means the project deadline was met or beat by up to 5% of the TO performance period.

A score of four (4) means the project deadline was beat by 5% to 10% of the TO performance period A score of five (5) means the project deadline was beat by more than 10% of the TO performance period.

Note – The amount of weight placed on these three criteria will be TO specific and will be specified during the project negotiations.

7.4. – Proposal/Design Drawing Timeliness - timeliness will be based upon the contractor’s ability to meet established deadlines established in the contract. This is to include the submission of completed proposals and providing approved 100% design drawings. Proposal/Design Drawing timeliness will be graded from one to five.

A score of one (1) means the timeline for the completed proposal was missed or the TO specific timeline established for 100% design drawings was missed by over 5% of the established timeline.

A score of two (2) means the TO specific timeline established for 100% design drawings was missed by up to 5% of the TO performance period.

A score of three (3) means the TO specific timeline established for 100% design drawings for the design drawings was met or beat by up to 5%.

A score of four (4) means the TO specific timeline established for 100% design drawings was beat by 5% to 10% of the TO performance period A score of five (5) means the TO specific timeline established for 100% design drawings was beat by more than 10% of the TO performance period.

Note – The standing weight placed on these criteria will be 20%.

7.5. –Design Deficiency Modifications – Design deficiency modifications are those modification made by the contractor after award of the TO that are due to oversights in the contractors design and are necessary to meet the intent and requirements of the governments TO specific SOW. Modifications due to unforeseen sight conditions and government directed changes to the SOW will not be counted against the contractor.

A score of one (1) means the total amount of modifications exceeded the original agreed upon TO price by more than 20%.

A score of two (2) means the total amount of modifications exceeded the original agreed upon TO price by 10 to 20%.

A score of three (3) means the total amount of modifications exceeded the original agreed upon TO price by 5 to 10% A score of four (4) means the total amount of modifications exceeded the original agreed upon TO price by up to 5% A score of five (5) means there are no modification(s) due to design deficiencies.
