Solicitation No.

140R3021R0029

Project Title

Page F-2

There is an expectation that each Contractor will compete for all the work forthcoming under this contract. If the Contractor is unable to compete for the task order, the Contractor shall provide a no proposal response to the Contracting Officer and provide reason for inability to compete.

(c) Order Placement Procedures.

(1) The Government will issue a written request for proposal (RFP) electronically via e-mail which will include the proposed Statement of Work (SOW), drawings, maps (if applicable), schedule, the evaluation criteria and relative importance of each evaluation factor (if applicable), and the due date for receipt of proposals. All other terms and conditions will be contained in the basic contract. However, any minor/pertinent changes to these terms and conditions, including applicable fill-ins for certain clauses and additional contract direction or details specifically pertaining to the task order, will also be identified in the RFP and incorporated into the individual task order. Contractors must acknowledge receipt of each RFP. Contractors are also required to notify the Contract Specialist within two (2) days of receipt of an RFP if the firm cannot or will not propose on a delivery/task order. Receipt of the proposals after the specified time and date set by the Contracting Officer may result in the proposal not being considered for award.

(2) Unless the Contracting Officer applies the fair opportunity exceptions found in 16.505 (b)(2)(1), each Task Order will be awarded, as a result of competition to the contractor whose offer is the best value to the Government considering the evaluation criteria specified in the task order. RFPs will state the specific evaluation factors for each order and, when applicable, the relative importance of the evaluation factors. When non-price (e.g. technical) factors are applicable to the evaluation and selection, the Government may use the lowest-price technically acceptable (LPTA), best delivery time, or tradeoffs of contracting by negotiation in order to obtain the best value for the Government. The Government reserves the right to use procedure(s) that are best suited to the circumstances of the contract action to fulfill the Government’s requirements.

(3) If delivery is an evaluation factor, a proposal must meet the Government’s expressed requirement for delivery as stated in the RFP/SOW or it may be considered non-responsive. The proposal should indicate the contractor’s compliance with the stated delivery date or identify the date of delivery (if delivery is an evaluation factor).

(4) Offerors are expected to examine the SOW, drawings, schedule, maps (if applicable) and all instructions. Failure to do so will be at the Offeror’s risk.

(5) A proposal shall not include any terms and conditions that would conflict with the contract terms and conditions; otherwise, the proposal may be considered non-responsive and rejected without further consideration.

(6) Each RFP will state whether the contractor’s proposal is to be submitted as a lump sum price or whether the proposal price is to include a detailed cost breakdown for evaluation. The lump sum price shall include the contractor’s best price for the item(s) including all applicable costs such as, but not limited to, cost of subcontractors, cost of miscellaneous equipment, materials, services, G&A, overhead, reasonable profit, and shipping (FOB Destination). In those instances where a detailed cost breakdown is required, the contractor’s price proposal shall identify the proposed quantity and type of labor, labor rates, material and equipment, shipping (FOB Destination), G&A, overhead, and a reasonable profit estimated for the type and complexity of the work required under the individual proposed delivery/task order. Estimated travel-related

Solicitation No.

140R3021R0029

Project Title

Page F-3 costs, if applicable, should also be provided in the proposal price. Payment for travel-related costs will be reimbursed based on allowable costs in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulations. Maximum lodging and per diem rates are identified at http://www.gsa.gov.

(7) After evaluation of the proposals has been completed, the proposal which offers the best value to the Government will be awarded the task order. In cases where price is the only evaluation factor, the proposal which offers the lowest price to the Government will be awarded the task order, subject to a positive determination that such proposed price is fair and reasonable. Price reasonableness of each task order will be determined in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.4. Task orders may require discussions/negotiations. It is anticipated that competition among each task order will exist. However, if no competition exists, data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to be submitted by the contractor in order to determine if the proposed price is fair and reasonable.

(8) If a particular task order will require work to be performed in Arizona, California or Nevada on-site/field work, the requirements of the Construction Wage Rate Requirements for that location shall apply.

(9) All provisions and clauses included in this solicitation and resulting IDIQ contract will apply to RFPs for resulting Task orders, unless otherwise noted on a task order basis. Additional contract clauses may be inserted into the task order as applicable for the work ordered. The notice for each Task Order will provide any required "fill-ins" for provisions and clauses and other specific information/direction pertaining to the task order, including, but not limited to:

• Magnitude of construction/estimated price range (FAR36.204).

• Details regarding Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work (reference FAR Clause 52.211-10).

(10) If required, the Government may seek comments from two (2) or more contractors on draft statements of work in order to promote exchanges of information and to encourage awardees to respond to potential RFPs. For a particular requirement, the Government may contact all Offerors for possible technical discussions in order to exchange information and further clarify and define the nature of the requirement.

(d) Other Ordering Requirements.

(1) Certified Payroll Reports. For each task order issued, the awardee shall be required to furnish weekly certified payrolls (prime and subcontractor) in accordance with Contract Clause I.1, FAR Clause 52.222-8, Payrolls and Basic Records. Funds will be retained by the Government from progress payments until all payroll reports are submitted.

(2) Release of Claims. Reference Contract Clause 1452.204-70, Release of Claims. For each order issued, the awardee shall be required to furnish a Release of Claims prior to final payment.

(3) Insurance. Reference Contract Clause WBR 1452.228-70, Liability Insurance – Department of the Interior.

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING

SYSTEM

DEC 2015

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts.

The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.
