SECTION C--DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 SCOPE OF CONTRACT

A Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Contract ( IDIQ) for civil engineering construction projects at multiple locations in the southeastern portion of the United States. These construction services would primarily consist of road and other transportation related repair and construction services, however, may include other civil engineering construction work typically performed by road construction and excavation type contractors. The work performed may include new work, additions, alterations, or maintenance and repairs. The IDIQ will allow for services to be ordered by the Government as needed and required.

These IDIQ contracts will require contractors to provide construction services through both the traditional design-bid-build (DBB) and design-build (DB) methods. In the traditional DBB method the Government will provide the contractor with a full design and the associated specifications, requiring the contractor to perform solely the construction services. The DB method would require the same contractor to provide both the design and construction services.

In both situations the contractor will be required to provide all labor, materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, supervision, ancillary services, and other necessary items to complete the work.

It is the intent that all task orders will be competed among the IDIQ contract holders. Actions under $25,000 may be issued on a sole source basis, or to a limited number of contract holders.

Other actions issued as sole source will be in compliance with the FAR’s sole source or fair opportunity requirements.

The IDIQ contracts will have a shared ceiling of $50 Million. All task orders and subsequent modifications will not exceed $50 Million over the term of the contracts. The FS will have the right to recompete this requirement or use other contracting methods for similar work that could fall under this IDIQ, at any point during the term of this contract. This is not a Requirements Contract. The Government is not obligated to award any task orders beyond the guaranteed minimum of $2,500 per company selected. .

The majority of task orders will be valued under $250,000. However, individual task orders may be valued up to $7.5 Million.

This is a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside. The primary NAICS code is 237310 Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction. Other NAICS codes that may be applicable are 237110 Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction and 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The small business size standard is $45 Million.

C.2 PROJECT LOCATION

Work may be located in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. The majority of the work will be located within the National Forest boundaries of these states. Work will primarily be on Forest System Roads or Forest Recreation Area sites or trails. Each Task Order will identify the specific project location. A vicinity and project location map will be provided to the contractor with each Task Order RFP.

Work locations may also be at remote Forest Service sites in rural/mountain locations. Locations may be in steep, narrow, and brushy areas. Access roads may be paved, gravel, or unsurfaced.

Cell phone coverage may not be available; closest supply sources may be a 2-hour drive or more from work site. Potable water, electricity, and sanitary facilities may not be available at some sites.

C.3 STATEMENT OF WORK/TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The work shall conform to these specifications and any supplemental specifications and/or scope of work issued with each individual Task Order. All work shall be performed in compliance with the most recent Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. The applicable Standard Specifications, Supplemental Specifications, and any Project Special Specifications will be shown in the specification listing contained in the individual Task Order.

All specifications not included in the specification listing, but referenced by listed specifications, are applicable. The applicable Forest Service Supplemental Specifications or Forest Service Maintenance Specifications shown in the Task Order specification list will be physically attached to the order. The required standard specifications for Forest Service road construction work are the following: Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects, Federal Highways Administration (Referred to as FP-14*)

Online: https://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/specs/fp-14/fp14.pdf Forest Service Supplemental Specifications to the FP-14* (Referred to as FSSS) *or FP-YY version listed on the Task Order

452.211-72 Statement of Work/Specifications (FEB 1988)

The ordering period of the IDIQ contracts will be five (5) years from the effective date of the award or when the shared ceiling of $50 Million is reached, whichever comes first. The Contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, material, equipment, services, and facilities (except as otherwise specified), to perform the Statement of Work/Specifications referenced in Section J.

452.211-73 Attachments to Statement of Work/Specifications (FEB 1988)

The attachments to the Statement of Work/Specifications listed in Section J are hereby made part of this solicitation and any resultant contract.

SECTION D--PACKAGING AND MARKING

D.1 PROJECT LABELING FOR OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE
