SUMMARY OF WORK

1.1 PURPOSE: The purpose of this Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract is to provide construction services for civil and military projects in support of the United States Air Force at Mountain Home AFB, ID.

1.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES: The government will award construction projects by individual delivery orders on an as-needed basis. The contractor will 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, the Base Civil Engineer (BCE) will identify construction tasks and the Contracting Officer (CO) will issue delivery orders to the contractor to complete the work. The contractor will maintain an office on Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB) in order to receive work requests and other related requirements to accomplish each delivery order. The work will include tasks in various trades, such as carpentry, pavement repair, roofing, asbestos abatement/removal, demolition, concrete masonry, welding, etc. Construction projects under this contract will generally range from $2,000 to $750,000. The work will be performed at Mountain Home Air Force Base, off-base Small Arms Range, Grasmere, Saylor Creek, Juniper Butte, associated Emitter Sites, Rattle Snake Radar Site, and other off-base facilities.

1.3 KEY MANAGEMENT STAFF

1.3.1 The contractor shall employ a sufficient number of qualified personnel to adequately oversee all work under this contract. When work is being performed, the assigned superintendent or an appointed alternate shall be available at any work site within 15 minutes of notification. All key management staff must be fluent in English.

1.3.2 A Project manager (PM) will be assigned to the site, dedicated to this contract, and have decision-making, obligation, negotiation, and signature authority pursuant to this contract. The Project manager must carry a cellular phone with a local number for immediate response to contract requirements. The PM will notify the Contracting Officer (CO) and CE SABER Project Inspector of any projected absence over 2 days and designate a qualified replacement.

1.3.3 Superintendent: The contractor will designate in writing, prior to execution of any delivery order, a superintendent responsible for the proper coordination and timeliness of the work and for the proper workmanship of all trades. The ability of the superintendent, based on his/her knowledge and experience, is essential to the proper execution of the work, as is his/her ability to communicate and direct the efforts of those performing the work.

1.3.4 Quality control and safety management: The Contractor shall provide a Quality Control Manager (QCM) to provide quality control and safety management. The QCM shall perform a minimum of twice daily site visits to each active project site to ensure full compliance with all safety requirements, verification that the work and materials in place and stored on site are in accordance with the approved construction drawings, shop drawings, and material submittals. The QCM shall prepare daily field notes recording activities at each project site, prepare and coordinate material submittal sheets and shop drawing submittals, prepare quality control reports, attend all pre-final and final inspections, and schedule and coordinate testing procedures. Quality Control and Safety Management must be carried out by someone other than the Project manager or Site Superintendent.

1.4 TECHNICAL SUPPORT STAFF

1.4.1 The contractor shall provide adequate technical staff for the following functions: project planning/design, estimating, drafting/GIS and clerical. Skill level, experience, qualifications, and background for the personnel in these positions shall be as required to provide the government a complete, accurate, and quality project.

1.4.2 Professional Engineering Requirement: The contractor will, when required, retain an individual holding a professional engineer's license, and conform to the Architectural and Professional Engineering Registration and Certification laws of the State of Idaho. This individual(s) will have direct oversight of project design and planning activities and must be promptly available to provide engineering support and professional engineering certification when necessary. The requirement for a professional engineer will not be construed to imply that normal designs require professional engineering certification. However, the possibility exists that unforeseen events or unexpected site conditions require modifications to the completed design that will require proof of licensing (i.e., an Engineer's stamp) for modification. The government anticipates less than five percent (5%) of the designs will require this type of modification. However, when such conditions do occur, the contractor will provide said proof for the discipline appropriate to the modification. This requirement is not an additional cost under the contract and should be included in the coefficients.

SECTION 4

DELIVERY ORDER PROPOSAL AND DESIGN SUBMITTAL

4.1 ORDERING PROCEDURES

4.1.1 Delivery Order Response Requirements

4.1.1.1 As the need exists for performance under the terms of this contract, the CO will notify the contractor of an existing performance requirement and request a price from the contractor for each delivery order (DO). The Government will provide the contractor a Request for Proposal (RFP) with a Statement of Work (SOW) describing the work to be performed, which may include special instructions and conditions, a material submittal register (AF Form 66), and if applicable, thirty-five percent (35%) design drawings to be completed by the contractor.

4.1.1.2 The contractor shall respond to a site visit request within three (3) working days by visiting the proposed work site in the company of the contract administrator, the CE SABER Project Inspector, and a representative of the using agency. The purpose of this site visit will be to establish clear understanding between the contractor and Government as to what work will be required in the DO. On-site changes may be made to the SOW or drawings at this time if the contractor or the Government identifies items of work that have been left out which need to be accomplished as part of the delivery order. Any revisions to the SOW by either party will be provided to the contractor. The contract administrator will issue the RFP to the contractor after the site visit. Completed proposals are due to the contract administrator within 10 working days of the issued RFP.

4.1.1.3 Quick Response Requirements: If the requirement is determined to be a quick response requirement by the CO, the contractor shall submit a delivery order proposal to fulfill the requirement within a maximum of five (5) workdays from receipt of the RFP.

4.1.2 Separate Requirement for Project Design/Estimating

4.1.2.1 The government may issue a delivery order for project design, without obligating the government to the construction of the project. The government’s intent for this is to obtain a design and estimate for projects that are being considered for SABER construction. It is not the government’s intent to have the contractor provide design and estimating service for projects with no serious intent to construct the project under the SABER contract. Project design fee will be as stated in Section B, for the appropriate magnitude. The project magnitude will be stated in each government request for project design/estimate. The contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer (CO) if the project estimate will differ from the government’s determination of magnitude. The contracting officer will take action to ensure the project stays within the magnitude or ensure the contractor/government is equitably compensated for the change in magnitude.

4.1.2.2 The government is not obligated to issue the contractor a delivery order for the construction of the project described in a completed design/estimate.

4.1.2.3 Upon government acceptance of a contractor’s design with estimate, the contractor may invoice for the design. If, within one year after acceptance of and payment for a design, the government elects to have the contractor construct the project, the total project price will be adjusted downward in an amount equal to that already invoiced and paid for under the design. If, after the period of one year after acceptance of and payment for a design, the government elects to have the contractor construct the project, the redesign cost will be 25% of the original design amount.

4.1.2.4 If the government and the contractor cannot come to an agreement on a particular project to be priced under the project design/estimating process, negotiations shall either be terminated without cost to the government or the contracting officer shall unilaterally direct the tasks with compensation to the contractor for efforts in its projects/design estimating process.

4.1.3. End of Year Projects (Provisional)

4.1.3.1 Preparation of Proposals: In addition to administration of on-going projects, the Contractor will have sufficient resources and capacity to deliver multiple proposals, within a compressed time period, for provisional projects issued at the End of Year (EOY).

4.1.3.2 Award: Award of provisional projects will be contingent upon the availability of funding and prioritization.

4.1.3.3 Upon receipt of the contractor’s proposal, the government will review the proposal for completeness. The CO and the contractor will then enter into negotiations (as necessary) to add, change, or delete line items to reach a final negotiated amount and period of performance.

4.1.4 Right to Negotiate: The Government reserves the right to enter into negotiations with the Contractor for purpose of obtaining a guaranteed price for one or more submitted EOY proposals. Negotiation by the Contracting Officer may be executed before availability of funding is determined. Said actions will NOT constitute intent to award. All costs incurred by the Contractor as a result of proposal preparation and subsequent negotiations will be borne solely by said same, whether project is or is not awarded.

4.1.5 After completion of negotiations, and prior to issue of a delivery order, the contractor shall provide a corrected copy of the proposal and an updated statement of work reflecting any changes made at negotiations. Changes to the corrected proposal will reflect all changes made during negotiations, and will be used as the final project estimate. Indicate on front page “Final Negotiated Estimate”. Copies will be given to the CO and CE SABER office.

4.1.6 Delivery orders may then be issued by the CO. Each delivery order will include the following information:

4.1.6.1 Base Civil Engineering Project Number and Title

4.1.6.2 Contract Number and Delivery Order Number

4.1.6.3 Statement of Work and Drawings

4.1.6.4 Delivery Order Price

4.1.6.5 Delivery Order Performance Period

4.1.6.6 Delivery Order Award Date

4.1.6.7 Accounting and Appropriation Data

4.1.6.8 Government-Furnished Material

4.1.7 Estimated Quantities: The delivery order may reflect estimated quantity line items. For these items, submit a daily total of quantities used on the days the contractor uses the item. These submittals may be delivery tickets, weigh bills, worksheets, etc., to meet the specific requirement. Provide these submittals to the CE SABER Project Inspector, who will validate and forward them to the CO.

4.1.8 Notice to Proceed: A Notice to Proceed will be issued for each awarded delivery order. The performance period will begin upon receipt of the NTP. In rare instances, on those projects deemed emergencies, the government may issue an oral NTP prior to the issuance of the written delivery order. In that case, the Notice to Proceed will be the date the contractor receives verbal confirmation from the CO. NTPs will not be issued prior to receipt of bond documents (when required).

4.2 DELIVERY ORDER PROPOSAL AND DESIGN SUBMITTAL: Every proposal must be supported by necessary documentation to indicate that adequate engineering and planning to accomplish the requirement have been done so as to minimize any delays in the construction process. Examples of documentation that might reasonably be expected would include sketches, construction drawings, calculations, catalog cuts, specifications, architectural renderings, detailed scope of work, etc.

4.2.1 Statement of Work (SOW): Every delivery order proposal must include a written description of the design. Organize the SOW in a logical format and include a detailed description of each of the major tasks in the delivery order.

4.2.2 Shop Drawings: Drawings submitted by the contractor, subcontractor, and any lower tier subcontractor, must show in detail the proposed fabrication and assembly of structural elements and/or the installation (i.e. form fit, and attachment details) of materials or equipment. The government will not require designs in excess of a conventional design developed to a 35% stage. Drawings must have sufficient detail to enable both the contractor and the government to accomplish independent estimates. For the purpose of this requirement, the term drawings includes actual shop drawings, diagrams, layouts, schematics, descriptive literature, illustrations, schedules, performance and test data, and similar materials furnished by the contractor to explain in detail specific portions of the work required by the contract.
