(b) Task order numbers will consist of the basic contract number followed by a 4-digit supplemental task order number. The task order number must be reflected on all correspondence related to the task order.

(c) 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.

(d) 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 Request for Proposal.

(e) Task order projects may be non-complex performance-oriented tasks requiring minimal design, may be complex construction requiring design development for design-build construction, or any combination thereof. Any estimated quantities provided in project documents are considered informational only. Contractors must validate quantities and all features of work necessary to deliver a complete and functional project. The task order may or may not have traditional plans and specifications but may include sketches, and requests for catalog cuts, and other submittals. The following describes the procedures for each type of requirement the task order could present:

(f) Task order solicitations will provide contractors with as much information as possible regarding the existing conditions of the site and any pre-existing structures.

(g) Contractors will provide a price proposal and a proposed performance period. The Government will evaluate submitted proposals according to criteria specified in the task order request for proposal (RFP). Only the successful offeror will be required to proceed with subsequent design effort, if required, and execute construction.

(h) 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.

(i) Submission of proposals for task orders is not required. However, contractors are required to contact the Contracting Officer within two days after receipt of task order RFP if a contractor will not participate in the walk-through or submit a proposal on a task order. Failure 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.

H-16 COMPETITION

(a) Only contractors awarded contract as a result of this RFP will compete for subsequent task orders. Contractors are encouraged to participate in all site visits and submit proposals. To execute fiscal year end projects, the Government may solicit offers for projects for which funds are not certified or readily available. Submission of proposals for these acquisitions is discretionary and will have no negative impact on the contractor.

Occasionally, (generally during the last quarter of the fiscal year), the Government will solicit offers for projects for which funds are not certified or readily available. Air Combat Command refers to these acquisitions as “Advance Contracting Authority (ACA)” or “Normal Straddle Bid (NSB)” projects. Under ACA, funds are not available and may not become available. The Government makes no promise to award a contract. If funds do not become available for ACA projects, the RFP is cancelled and no award is made. Under NSB, funds may be available in the current fiscal year or the next fiscal year. If a contract is not awarded in the current fiscal year, it will be awarded in the following fiscal year (see AFFARS MP5332.7, Contract Funding). Submission of proposals for these acquisitions is at the sole discretion of the respective MACC Contractors and their declination to participate in any or all such solicitations will not reflect negatively upon them. This includes projects that are in whole or in part ACA projects.

(b) Unless the Contracting Officer applies the exceptions noted below, each task order will be awarded, as a result of competition to the contractor who offers the best value to the Government considering task order evaluation criteria.

(c) The Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a task order without competition based upon a determination that:

H-17 DESCRIPTION OF SUBSEQUENT TASK ORDERS

(a) Task orders projects may range from $2,000 to $15,000,000 and may require either a single discipline or multi-disciplined design services. Projects may also require comprehensive interior design, lead and asbestos abatement, and incorporation of sustainable features. Some projects may require only minimal design.

(b) Upon award the highest rated contractor will be awarded the seed project and all other contractors will be awarded smaller Task Order. These Task Orders will be sufficient to meet the contract minimum for each contractor. In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2) the government reserves the right to go direct sole source to any contractor awarded the MACC in order to satisfy a minimum guarantee. Past performance will be assessed at least annually and reviewed prior to decisions to exercise options.

(c) Technical narratives, if required, may address one or more of the following factors:

H-18 SUBSEQUENT TASK ORDER EVALUATION CRITERIA

Subsequent task orders may be awarded on best value, either tradeoff process or low price, low price technically acceptable, or low or low bid price. If the Government decides to issue the task order as a best value using the tradeoff process, award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements of each task order. In addition to price or cost, one or more of the following criteria may be considered:

H-19 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Any Task Order that is determined to need liquidated damages will be assessed on each task order. Until the government knows the personnel working on a task order a proper liquidated damages rate cannot be determined.
