H.08 Ordering Procedures - Request for Task Order Proposal

(a) General – the issuance procedures shall be in accordance with FAR 16.505, FAR SUBPART 36.6 and those stated herein:

(1) Work under this Contract will be ordered by written Task Order on Option Form (OF) 347, Order for Sup-plies or Services, to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer. Any IBWC Contracting Officer is authorized to award a Task Order under this IDIQ.

(2) Each award will cite the Contract Number and Task Order Number.

(3) The Government will not be obligated to reimburse the Contractor for work performed, items purchased or delivered, or any costs incurred, nor shall the Contractor be obligated to perform, deliver, or otherwise incur costs except as authorized by an executed Task Order from the Contracting Officer.

(4) The Contractor is not guaranteed issuance of any Task Orders above the minimum guarantee as identified in Section H of this Contract.

(5) Task Orders will be firm fixed price.

(6) Each Task Order will include as a minimum:

(i) Date of Order

(ii) Contract Number and Task Order Number

(iii) Statement of Work

(iv) Delivery or Performance Schedule

(v) Place of Delivery or Performance

(vi) Any Packaging, Packing, and Shipping Instructions

(vii) Accounting and Appropriation Date

(viii) Price

(ix) Place and Manner of Inspection and Acceptance

(x) Any Government Furnished Property, Material, or Facilities

(xi) Appropriate Wage Determination for Service Contract Act covered employees

(xii) Any Other Pertinent Information Required for Performance

(7) Task Orders will be based on the Government developed Statement of Work.

(8) Task Order may only be modified by an IBWC Contracting Officer.

(9) Modifications to Task Orders will be issued on Standard Form (SF) 30, Amendment of Solicitation/Modi-fication of Contract, and will cite the Task Order and Contract Number.

(10) The Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer within two (2) calendar days of notification of the Re-quest for Task Order Proposal if the Contractor cannot submit a proposal on the Task Order.

(b) Task Order Awards

(1) Request for Task Order Proposal is limited to the A-E IDIQ Multiple Award Contractors. Contractors shall be provided with fair opportunity to be considered for each Task Order.

(2) Task Orders will be evaluated in accordance with FAR SUBPART 36.6. Task Orders shall be evaluated based on the demonstrated competency and qualifications to perform the services at a fair and reasonable price.

The evaluation will be based on the following: 1) professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory perform-ance of required services; (2) specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required; (3) capacity to accomplish the work in the required time; (4) past performance on contracts with Government agen-cies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules;

(5) location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality of the project; and (6) acceptability under other appropriate evaluation criteria (as defined in the Request for Task Order Proposal).

(3) If a Contractor is determined to be the most highly qualified firm, and receives award of a Task Order, a lo-gical follow-on Task Order may be issued to that Contractor, provided that all awardees were given a fair op-portunity to be considered for the Original Task Order.

(4) The basis for award will be specified in the Request for Task Order Proposal. The Contracting Officer’s de-cision as to the selection for award of a Task Order is not subject to protest unless the protest is on the grounds that the order increases scope, period, or maximum value of the contract (reference FAR 16.505 Ordering).

(5) No Contractor may be awarded a Task Order for Construction to include Construction Management if the Contractor designed the project.

(c) Requirement for Proposals

(1) The Government will make a written request for Task Order proposals. Proposal shall be submitted in writ-ing.

(2) Proposals shall address the evaluation criteria as established in the Request for Task Order Proposal.

(d) Selection

(1) The Contracting Officer will be the final selection authority at the Task Order level.

(e) Request for Task Order Proposal Requirements

(1) Request - the Contracting Officer will furnish all A-E IDIQ Contractors with a written Request for Task Or-der Proposal. The request will include:

(i) Task Order Statement of Work;

(ii) Anticipated performance period and critical milestones;

(iii) Place and manner of inspection and acceptance;

(iv) Basis for award to include selection criteria and proposal instructions;

(v) Appropriate Wage Determination for Service Contract Act covered employees; and

(vi) Any other pertinent information (i.e. for the design of a facility, a list of area where recovered materials cannot be used in the facility’s construction);

(2) Proposal - the Contractor shall, within the time specified in the RFP, provide an original and one (1) copy to the Contracting Officer. If electronic submission via email is authorized then the Contractor shall only submit one (1) copy. Proposals shall be submitted in two (2) separate volumes. Volume I shall address the Contractor’s Qualifications & Technical Understanding and Volume II shall address the Contractor’s Proposed Price (this Volume shall be sealed (unless utilizing electronic submission); the IBWC will not review Volume II unless the Contractor is determined to be the most highly qualified).

Volume I shall at a minimum address:

(i) Qualifications/Evaluation Criteria;

(ii) Technical Understanding;

(iii) Proposed schedule for competing the Task Order; and

(iv) Other information requested in the Request for Task Order Proposal.

Volume II shall at a minimum address:

(i) Detailed cost/price proposal in accordance with the instructions set forth in the RFP and if applicable, FAR 15.403-5 and Table 15-2. Task Orders shall be Firm Fixed Price (FFP);

(ii) Rational for proposed price.

(3) Negotiations - upon selection of the most highly qualified Contractor, negotiation of a fair and reasonable price will commence. If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated, then the IBWC may begin negoti-ations with the next Contractor. If the original proposed price is considered to be fair and reasonable then the Government is not obligated to conduct negotiations.

(4) Award - upon completion of this process, the Contracting Officer shall execute a Task Order on an OF-347 and forward it to the successful Contractor electronically. Only upon receipt of an executed Task Order, signed by the Contracting Officer, shall the Contractor commence work. Unsuccessful Offerors will be notified.

(5) Multiple Task Orders - due to scheduling needs the Contracting Officer may have multiple Task Orders un-der way simultaneously. Under such situations, the Contractor must still complete all orders within the allowed schedule. The Government reserves the right to direct the Contractor to work on Task Orders of higher priority.

In such cases, time extensions will be granted for completion of Task Orders that have been delayed because of Government action.
