Amendment 00001

FOREWORD

The Bureau of Reclamation has an on-going requirement for electrical services and intends to award a 5 year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract. This project provides for scheduled maintenance and rehabilitation of facility electrical infrastructure and related and dependent equipment and components. Work under this contract will result in suitable repairs, rehabilitations, upgrades, and/or replacements leading to safe operating conditions of extant equipment including but not limited to code-compliant systems, systems with capacity to meet operational and functional needs for the agency’s activities, and safe arc flash zone definition where needed. Guiding public standards for this work include National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 70B on electrical maintenance practice, including but not limited to Chapter 9 (Studies and Analyses) and Chapter 11 (Testing Procedures Standards); NFPA 70, the National Electric Code (NEC); NFPA 101, Life Safety Code; and, International Building Code, 2014 – all as amended for Southern Nevada/Clark County.

This acquisition is being procured under Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. Offerors are cautioned to carefully review the offer submission requirements contained in Section L and the evaluation criteria and standards contained in Section M. In order to be considered qualified for this work, offerors must fully address all evaluation factors. Reference Section L, paragraphs L.10 through L.12 for instructions and Section M, paragraph M.3 for evaluation factors and acceptability standards. The Government anticipates making award without discussions and will not seek clarifications. The award decision will be based on the offeror’s initial proposal in response to the IDIQ and the exemplar Task Order.

A site visit will be held prior to the proposal due date which will allow offerors to walk the campus where services/construction will take place under the Task Orders. Reference Section L.7, Site Visit (Construction). The site visit will be held on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. PT. Please contact Ms. Kelli Adams at kadams@usbr.gov prior to the day of the site visit, if you plan to attend. All attendees shall meet at the North Hoover Rd. Parking Lot located at 500 Date Street, Boulder City, NV 89005.

Offerors are urged and expected to inspect the site where service/construction is to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.

The Department of Labor determines any contract that requires the alteration of real property over $2,000 shall include construction clauses. Therefore, the installation is considered construction and is subject to the construction clauses herein. The Contractor's employees performing installation shall be paid in accordance with Davis-Bacon wage rates.

Note to Offerors: This procurement involves both service and construction portions of work. Service and construction clauses are included in the solicitation and are designated by “S” for service or “C” for construction. The “S” or “C” is used to identify when the clause applies to one or the other only and will immediately follow the clause number. Clauses which do not designate an “S” or “C” are applicable to both.

Reclamation will only accept written questions for this solicitation. Please submit all written questions pertaining to this solicitation to Kelli Adams via email kadams@usbr.gov no later than 4:00 P.M., local time, Friday, January 23, 2015. The subject line shall clearly reference the Solicitation Number associated with this solicitation. No other questions will be entertained after this date. All questions and answers will be posted through an amendment on or about Tuesday, January 27, 2015.
