SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1. OVERVIEW

The purpose of this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple-Award Task Order

Contract (MATOC) is to provide highway, road, and bridge construction in the states of Idaho and

Montana. Projects will primarily involve improvements to low-volume and low-speed roadways ranging from 3R (resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation) to full reconstruction. Projects may include, but are not limited to the following: earthwork, soil stabilization, structures, bridges, walls, drainage, surfacing, culverts, paving, parking lots, and other miscellaneous items of work. Projects may be located in environmentally sensitive areas that necessitate context-sensitive construction techniques and processes.

The work will involve a variety of partners including but not limited to the National Park Service

(NPS), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), United States Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Land

Management (BLM), States, and local municipal agencies. Funding sources will include but not be limited to the Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) and the Federal Lands Transportation Program

(FLTP).

It is currently estimated that the maximum value of the MATOC will not exceed a shared

$60,000,000 capacity. It is anticipated that the average construction task order under the MATOC will be below $7,000,000. The predominant geographic areas are the states of Idaho and Montana.

Umbrella Contracts – WFLHD intends to award up to six Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite-Quantity

Multiple-Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC). The number of actual awards is dependent upon the merits of the proposals received. This solicitation is a Partial Small Business Reserve and three MATOCs are reserved for small business concerns. The combined maximum quantity to be ordered over the life of all awarded contracts is $60,000,000. The combined maximum quantity for the MATOC contracts is calculated as the sum of all Task Order awards and Task Order Modifications. Each MATOC contract will be for a 3-year period.

MATOC Minimum Guarantee - The minimum amount guaranteed over the life of each MATOC contract is $10,000.

Task Orders - All work will be awarded on a Task Order basis. Task Orders will vary in size, ranging from approximately $250 thousand to $20 million.

As requirements develop and funding becomes available, Task Order Requests for Proposal (TO-RFP) will be issued. Unless there is a set-aside for small business, TO-RFP will be issued to all MATOC contractors. If a project is set-aside for small business, the TO-RFP will be issued only to small business

MATOC contractors.

Types of Task Orders - Task Orders may be Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) or FFP with economic price adjustments.

Anticipated Projects - Table 1 lists the currently anticipated projects. This list is provided for informational purposes only. The Government is not guaranteeing the delivery of these projects via this

MATOC contract.

C.3. WAGE RATES

Construction Wage Rate Requirements are applicable to construction Task Orders awarded under this contract.

C.4. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR COMPETITIVE TASK ORDERS.

It is anticipated that most, if not all, of the Task Orders will be awarded based on competition between all MATOC contract holders.

(1) Task Order (TO) proposals – Proposals will not be publicly opened. Following the opening of proposals and verification of responsiveness for any TO proposal that was solicited without discussions and fair opportunity was provided, award will be based on price only. Price tabulations will be posted to SAM.gov post award. Other circumstances that may prevent the posting of the price tabulations are at the COs discretion.

If your pricing submittal is considered confidential and you prefer it not be released to SAM.gov, provide a justification, in writing, on or before the TO proposal due date. The justification shall demonstrate the harm inflicted by the release of the price tabulations to your organization. The CO will analyze the justification and determine if the price tabulations will be posted.

(2) Task Order Synopsis - When the Government requires work under the MATOC and time allows, a

Task Order-Synopsis will be posted on SAM.gov. The synopsis will provide a brief description of the project and the anticipated solicitation issue date. In some instances, the synopsis may be issued via e-mail.

(3) Task Order Requests for Proposals (TO-RFP) - When the Government requires work under the

MATOC, a TO-RFP will be issued. The TO-RFP will include information concerning the project such as, contract requirements, physical data, drawings, site visit details, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements (e.g., bid schedule, proposal requirements, etc.).

C-4

(4) Task Order Pre-award Expenses - The Contractor will not be reimbursed for proposal preparation, attendance during negotiations, site visits, walk-through, or other pre-award Task Order costs.

(5) Site Visits - Failure to visit the site cannot be used as an excuse for omission or miscalculation in offers. The Government may or may not schedule a joint site visit for individual Task Orders.

(6) Proposal Contents - Depending upon the requirements of each TO-RFP, the Contractor may be required to provide a price proposal only, or a technical proposal and a price proposal. Respond within the number of calendar days stated in the TO-RFP by submitting a proposal to the CO.

(7) Contract Prices - Bid Schedules - Payment for items listed in the Bid Schedule constitutes full compensation for furnishing all labor, equipment, services, and materials needed to complete construction. Include in the prices for the items listed in the Bid Schedule all costs for the specified work, whether or not specifically listed in the Bid Schedule.

(8) Bid Bonds. Submit bid bonds with the Task Order proposal as required in the TO-RFP.

(9) Proposal Deviations - Proposals that deviate from the TO requirements may be rejected or delay award.

(10) Declining a Task Order - With the exception of the sample project being issued with this solicitation to evaluate pricing, contractors are not required to submit a proposal for each TO-RFP.

The Contractor must decline a project by written notice to the CO stating the reason and submit no later than 2 business days prior to the TO-RFP proposal due date.

(11) Fair Opportunity - All MATOC Contractors will be given fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold issued under this MATOC except as provided below:

(a) The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays;

(b) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized;

(c) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order.

(d) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee;

(e) For orders exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, a statute expressly authorizes or requires that the purchase be made from a specified source; or

(f) The Contracting Officer sets aside the order for small businesses (see Section C.6).

In determining eligibility to compete, the CO considers such factors as performance on Task Orders under the MATOC contract, quality, timeliness, special expertise, or other factors the CO determines are relevant to award of a particular Task Order. Failure to prosecute the work diligently on Task

Orders may be cause for the CO to determine a contractor in-eligible to compete on a TO-RFP.

Additional factors that may make a contractor ineligible include poor past performance, failure to propose on TO-RFPs, or a Sole Source action is justified.

C-5

(12) Evaluation Method and Procedures - The basis of award for an individual Task Order may vary and will be described in the TO-RFP. Examples of a basis for award are:

(a) Based on price only.

(b) Based on both price and non-price factors, with the Task Order awarded to the Contractor offering the best value to the Government. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer. The TO-RFP will describe whether price is less important, more important, or equal in importance to non-price factors.

(13) Award Decision - Whenever possible, award will be made without discussions. Task Orders will be

FFP or FFP with an economic price adjustment. The Government reserves the right to reject all offers.

(14) Task Order Award

Award Notification - The Task Order becomes binding when the Contracting Officer signs the order. Notice of Task Order award will be via email. The Notice to Proceed (NTP) may be issued separately, normally after receipt of acceptable performance and payment bonds.

(a) Insurance. Submit acceptable proof of insurance before beginning work.

(b) Performance & Payment Bonds. Submit Performance and Payment Bond documents upon request. Ensure the IDIQ contract number AND the Task Order number are included on each

Performance and Payment Bond document. Bond documents not containing the required information will be returned for correction. Bonds must be received in their original state.

Copies will not be approved.

(c) Task Order contract documents. When electronic copies of the awarded Task Order are not feasible, the Contractor will be provided paper copies. All further reproduction shall be at the Contractor's expense.

C.5. EXCEPTIONS TO FAIR OPPORTUNITY (SOLE SOURCE) TASK ORDERS

(1) The CO reserves the right to award a sole source Task Order in the following instances:

(a) The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays; OR

(b) Only one IDIQ Contractor is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized;

OR

(c) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order; OR

(d) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

(2) Subcontractor costs under sole source Task Orders must show adequate competition. Adequate competition may normally be assumed when there are at least three independent subcontractor/supplier quotes.

(3) Upon request, provide copies of subcontractor/supplier quotes with profit and overhead separately identified. The subcontractor/supplier quotes shall be in enough detail for the government to discern the scope of the services and materials included in the price.

(4) All prices must be fair and reasonable. If required, audits may be performed. The Government may conduct negotiations.

C-6

C.6. TASK ORDERS SET-ASIDE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

The CO may, at their discretion, set aside a Task Order for small business concerns. Task Orders set-aside for small business concerns will be competed among the small business MATOC contractors.

C.7. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

(1) At the conclusion of each Task Order or when the Contractor’s performance is considered less than satisfactory, the Government will complete a Contractor’s performance evaluation. The evaluation will take into account all aspects of the Contractor’s performance. The Contractor will be provided a copy of the performance evaluation and an opportunity to discuss the evaluation.

(2) This office posts performance evaluations in the Contractor Performance assessment Reporting

System (CPARS) https://www.cpars.gov/. Upon receiving notice of evaluation availability, you will be given an opportunity to review the evaluation and submit comments. If you are unable to access the system, call 360.619.7520 for assistance or for a copy of the evaluation.

Ombudsman. If a Contractor believes they were not fairly considered for a particular Task Order, the

Contractor may present the matter to the CO. The Contractor may appeal the explanation or decision of the Contracting Officer to the Ombudsman. The DOT Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman is the

Associate Director, Office of Acquisition Policy, Oversight and Business Strategies (M-61) located in the

Office of the Senior Procurement Executive (M-60). The Ombudsman will review the Contractor's complaint, and in coordination with the CO, ensure that the Contractor was afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for the Task Order.

SECTION E – INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

52.246-12 -- Inspection of Construction (Aug. 1996)

(a) Definition. “Work” includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not --

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer’s written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may --

(1) By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or

(2) Terminate for default the Contractor’s right to proceed.

(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the

Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government’s rights under any warranty or guarantee.
