2.0 TASK ORDER

As requirements develop, task orders will be competed among the IDIQ awardees. This is not a Requirements contract per FAR 16.503; the Government reserves the right to issue additional solicitations and award additional contracts within the locations covered by this solicitation outside of this IDQ. In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act and FAR 16.505(b), the Contracting Officer will provide each awardee a “fair opportunity” to be considered for each order in excess of $2,000, unless one of the conditions outlined MULTIPLE AWARDEES, FAIR OPPORTUNITIES CLAUSE (SPECIAL PROVISION) at FAR 16.505(b) applies.

Standard Task Orders: At a minimum, the requirements package provided to the task order contracting officer to initiate a standard task order, should consist of the following:

1. Funded Purchase Request

2. Statement / Scope of Work (As Detailed as Possible)

3. List of Critical Project Requirements (Schedule, Equipment Items, Specific Materials, etc.)

4. Project Drawings, Sketches, Photographs, etc.

2.1 TASK ORDER REQUEST & AWARD PROCESS –IDIQ CONTRACT (Step-By-Step)

One of the primary purposes of the IDIQ contract is to expedite task order award of common, relatively non- complex, real property maintenance, repair, alteration, and/or new Electrical Construction Projects WY . Therefore, the contractor’s responsiveness under the terms of this contract is paramount. Once the contracting officer or his/her designated representative notifies the contractor of a task order requirement, the contractor is expected to expeditiously prosecute all task order requirements, to include scheduling site visits, and the preparation and submission of task order proposals. Unless delays are caused by the government’s review or approval process, or by some other governmental reason or purpose, the contractor shall complete all task order proposal phases within the number of calendar days provided below. Exceptions to this performance requirement may be granted by the task order contracting officer, if deemed necessary and appropriate.

2.2 ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR COMPETITIVE TASK ORDERS:

Requests for Quotation/Proposals (RFQ/RFP): When the Government requires work under this Electrical Construction IDIQ, an RFQ or RFP will be issued, as appropriate. Projects issued/ordered will be of varying size and complexity. Examples include, but are not limited to, projects that contain complete plans and specifications for all elements of work; to projects with limited specifications and or sketches. Projects may require computer aided design efforts resulting in properly documented as-built drawings. The request will include information such as a statement of work, specifications, drawings, attachments, information pertaining to a site visit; evaluation criteria, and any other requirements for submission (e.g. proposal requirements, price schedule, etc.). Performance and payment bonds shall be required for task orders in accordance with performance and payment bonds and alternative payment protections for construction contracts (FAR 28.102-1). The basis of award will be a conforming offer, the price or cost of which may or may not be the lowest. The basis for award of each task order will be stated in the RFQ/RFP.

Upon receipt of the notification from the Contracting Officer, the awarded contractors shall respond by attending the pre-construction meeting. The pre-construction meeting is normally scheduled within two weeks from issuance of the "Announcement of Proposed Task Order," and two days under emergency conditions.

Task Order competition: Under this contract projects determined by the Contracting Officer to be within the scope of this contract, shall be offered to this IDIQ Contractors for the purpose of providing a price or best value proposal. Individual task order awards on those projects will be based on competitive proposals received exclusively from this Electrical Construction Project IDIQ contractors.

The Government also reserves the right to issue competitive solicitations and award contracts for construction activities covered by this IDIQ on an open market basis. In this event, Electrical Construction Project IDIQ contractors may compete for those contracts on an open market competitive basis.

Contractors found eligible will be provided a fair opportunity to compete for each project offered under this contract unless the following exceptions from fair opportunity to compete requirements and emergency requirements (Far 16.505(b)(2)) applies.

The agency’s need for the services or supplies is of such urgency that providing such opportunity to all such contractors would result in unacceptable delays;

Only one such contractor is capable of providing the services or supplies at the level of quality required because the services or supplies ordered are unique or highly specialized;

The task order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy or efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all eligible awardees were given a fair opportunity pursuant to the procedures in this clause to be considered for the original order; or

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

Electrical Construction Projects WY IDIQ contractors shall submit an offer on all projects offered by submitting a quote/proposal to the Contracting Officer in accordance with requirements stated in the RFQ/RFP. In the event a contractor is unable to submit an offer in response to an RFQ/RFP, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer of his/her intent to not compete by completing and returning the attached form “Will Not Compete” (or provide the same information via email) to the contracting officer. On this form, the contractor shall specify the reason for not competing.

The contracting officer will notify the contractor when their record indicates an unacceptable number of nonresponsive proposals which will be at 25% of all TO RFPs/RFPs issued. Failure to address and correct this could result in contractual remedies including, but not limited to, negative performance evaluation, off-ramping, and/or termination for default.

The Contracting Officer, in making decisions on the award of an individual task order, will consider such factors as listed in FAR 16.505 (b)(1). In addition to price, factors on prior task orders under the this contract, such as Past performance, quality, timeliness, special expertise, or other factors the Contracting Officer determines are relevant to award of a particular task order may be considered. Price, quality and timely performance by a contractor is very important. Failure to prosecute work diligently and effectively, on a currently awarded task order, will be cause for the Contracting Officer not to include the contractor in the competitive fair-opportunity pool for future task orders. When the contractor’s delinquency has been cured, they will be considered for competition in future task orders.

Site Visits: Offeror’s attendance at walk-through (site visits) is considered vital to preparation of competitive and cost-effective offers, and to understanding the total results desired by the Government. In some cases walk-throughs may be determined mandatory in order for a contractor to submit a proposal. Such requirement will be stated in the RFQ/RFP.

Failure to attend a walk-through may not be used as an excuse for omission or miscalculation in offers, and may be taken into consideration in determining a Contractor's eligibility to participate in future task orders. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for proposal preparation, attendance during negotiations, site visits, walk-through or other pre-task order costs.

Proposal Contents. Depending upon the requirements of each task order, the Contractor will typically provide a price proposal in response to an RFQ/RFP. Contractors shall respond within the number of calendar days stated in the RFQ/RFP by submitting a proposal to the Contracting Officer in accordance with requirements stated in the RFQ/RFP.

Contract Prices—Proposal Pricing Schedules. The Government's payment for the items listed in the Pricing Schedules of individual task orders will constitute full compensation to the Contractor for-- (1) Furnishing all plant, labor, equipment, services, appliances, and materials; and (2) performing all operations required to complete the work in conformity with the drawings and specifications. The Contractor shall include in the prices for the items listed in the pricing schedule, all costs for work in the specifications, whether or not specifically listed in the pricing schedule.

Proposals and Final Proposal Revisions. Offerors shall specifically identify all deviations from the minimum RFQ/RFP requirements in a cover letter in a section entitled "Deviations." This requirement applies for all proposal revisions and final proposal revisions. If an alternate is proposed to the work as specified in the solicitation it must also be priced. All proposed alternates shall be specifically addresses and expanded upon in proposal submissions to include separate pricing information.

Evaluation Method and Procedures. Price will be the common evaluation method for most RFQ/RFP. However, the Contracting Officer, in making decisions in award of any individual task order, may consider factors such as Past Performance, quality, timeliness, or other factors that the Contracting Officer determines to be relevant to award of a particular Task Order. The primary non-cost factors and price factors will vary depending on the unique requirements for each Task Order. The Government intends to select the most advantageous, responsive, and responsible proposal, price and other factors considered. Each RFQ/RFP will describe the criteria to be utilized in evaluating Task Order proposals.

Award Decision. Whenever possible, award will be made without discussions. If discussions are required, each interested contractor, within the competitive range, will be requested to provide a final proposal revision. Task order award will be made based on either the best value to the Government or the lowest price, technically acceptable proposal as described in the RFQ/RFP. The award will be a firm fixed-priced task order with a specific completion date or performance period.

When additives, deductives or options are included in the schedule, the task order will specify the number of days after award for exercising the options.

Task Order Issuance. Task orders will be issued on the Optional Form 347. Orders may be distributed via mail, facsimile, or electronic means. The Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued separately after receipt of acceptable performance and payment bonds, if applicable, and any other required administrative submittals. Only a Contracting Officer of the National Park Service, at the locations specified in the solicitation, or as approved in writing by the issuing office Contracting Officer, is authorized to issue orders under the contracts within the individual’s warrant levels. The appropriate issuing, administration, and payment offices will be cited on each task order. A copy of each task order, and modifications issued by agencies outside the issuing office shall be provided to the issuing contracting office at time of execution.

Award the contractor a standard task order within 60 calendar days after final negotiation and acceptance of a task order proposal. If the government determines that it wants to make award after 60 calendar days have elapsed, the contractor shall be allowed to renegotiate and submit new or updated material / labor / equipment costs for any line items previously negotiated and accepted

Protests. In accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(10), no protest under Subpart 33.1 is authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of an order under a Task Order Contract except for a protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract.

TASK AND DELIVERY ORDER OMBUDSMAN

In accordance with FAR 16.505(b) (4), the Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman will review complaints from the contractor regarding the contract awarded under this solicitation. Communications with the task and delivery order ombudsman for the Department of the Interior may be directed to:

Submittals

Submittal List / Log: The Contractor shall set up a Master Submittal List for items that will regularly be used throughout the contract. The submittal list provided for individual projects shall be submitted to the government within 7 calendar days of the project NTP.

Approvals: Submittal approval by the government does not waive the Contractor from meeting all applicable guides, codes and regulations as it is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure code adherence.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS): The Contractor shall submit to the contracting officer, MSDS for all anticipated hazardous material usage (e.g. paint, adhesives, solvents, sealants, paint thinners, refrigerants, pesticides, compressed gases, etc.) for approval by government technical personnel

Product Data and Shop Drawings: The Contractor is responsible for submission of product data and preparation of all shop drawings for each Task Order in accordance with requirements contained therein.

The Contractor shall be responsible for preparing and implementing an effective safety and health program. Unless noted otherwise within individual task orders the Contractor shall generate and submit a project specific safety plan for each task order. On-site work shall not commence until the Government has reviewed and provided the Contractor written notice of acceptance of the Contractor submitted safety plan (Accident Prevention Plan).

The Contractor shall submit the quality control plan to the Contracting Officer for approval. This plan shall be capable of being adapted by means of a supplement to the main plan as required by individual Task Orders.

Hours of Operation: Standard work hours for each Park Unit may vary, but the standard work hours for Task Orders (TOs) accomplished under this contract are 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Specific individual task order requirements may necessitate adjustments, and the task order contracting officer shall make the final determination for task order work hours.

The Contractor may request, at his option and at no additional expense to the government, to work during other than standard hours. Requests to work non-standard hours must be submitted in writing to the contracting officer at least one week in advance. No work shall be accomplished during non-standard hours without written approval from the contracting officer. Costs for work to be performed under these circumstances shall be calculated the same as standard work hours.

Costs for work that the government requires to be performed during other than standard hours shall be addressed during negotiations for each task order.

Negotiated Construction Methods: Negotiated construction methods or desired equipment shall be used on-site per negotiations. If the Contractor determines post-award an alternate method of construction, the Contractor will submit a change request in writing to the contracting officer.

Site Cleanup: Although the government understands that a construction site is by nature not clean, the NPS desires to have work sites that are as clean, free of construction debris, and uncluttered as possible.

For this reason, the Contractor shall clean work sites continuously to adhere to basic cleanliness and safety standards, and all FAR clauses for site cleanup. This shall include but is not limited to cleaning all haul routes and using covers for trucks hauling fill material. The Contractor shall respond to all government requests to clean the site within 1 hour. Ultimately it will be the contracting officer, and not the Contractor, who will determine what, constitutes a clean work site. The Contractor shall clean all painted walls, installed flooring (vacuum and shampoo carpet & sweep and polish hard flooring), windows, doors, cabinets, etc. prior to contract final inspection. Any and all construction site cleaning shall be included in the Contractor’s coefficient. The Contractor shall provide animal proof trash containers as directed by the task order contracting officer.

Construction Barriers & Fencing: Construction fencing shall be included in the Contractor’s offer and shall be provided on all construction projects, unless specifically told otherwise. The fencing is intended not only for site safety and cleanliness, but also for aesthetic purposes. Dependent on task order specific requirements, worksite fencing may include government-approved screen material to hide the work site from visitors and Park Unit personnel. The Contractor shall determine the fencing requirement and area to be screened during the SOW development phase of each task order for the government’s review and approval. The Contractor shall respond to government requests to clean up or fix a downed fence at a job site within 1 hour. For the purposes of this contract, the definition of “construction fencing” shall be any barrier that the Contractor has to erect for site safety, cleanliness (drop clothes, plastic, etc.), screening, and/or protection of government- or Contractor-owned material inside or outside of any facility. Orange, plastic, perforated “snow fence” may not be considered an acceptable alternative for job-site fencing.

Construction Testing: All costs of testing will be included as line items in the Contractor’s proposals.

Any line items included in this section dealing with normal day-to-day construction inspection of a job site shall not be used on any task order.

Site Safety: During work on a task order, the Contractor is responsible for any site conditions or work practices that cause any accidents and/or damage to government or Contractor owned property. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to protect the site in order to keep unauthorized personnel out and to keep work practices up to all applicable standards in order to prevent on-site mishaps or damage.

Points of Contact: The Contractor shall provide a primary and alternate point of contact (POC) that can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergencies. The individuals must have the authority to make binding decisions and commitments on behalf of the Contractor, in response to emergency / exigent situations and conditions. The government must be given POC names and phone number(s) in the event an urgent problem or situation is encountered with one of the Contractor’s projects, and the POC’s immediate response is required.

Communication Systems: The Contractor shall have a communications system (i.e. Cell Phones, Radios) that will allow the government to relay messages to, or obtain answers/responses from Contractor personnel in the field. If cell phones are used for on-site communications, the Contractor shall provide the appropriate numbers to the contracting officer’s representative (COR). If radios are used for on-site communications, the Contractor shall provide use of a compatible radio unit to the COR. The Contractor shall also provide e- mail addresses for all key employees, which will allow electronic communications between the government and Contractor key personnel.

Authorizations to Dig: The Contractor shall be responsible for processing and obtaining all required authorizations and clearances to dig (digging permits), and obtaining blue stake location services. Once a construction site has been marked, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to maintain the markings. If work does not commence on-site within 30 calendar days of the blue stake approval and the Contractor has not maintained the blue stake markings, the Contractor shall request a re-stake prior to commencing actual site work. No extension of the task order performance period shall be approved due to a Contractor’s decision to not start contract work within 30 days of the blue stake approval. Any and all costs of construction blue staking and potholing to verify utility locations shall be calculated as a part of the Contractor’s coefficient.

Utility Shutdowns, Work Interruptions, and Street Closures: The Contractor shall provide a minimum notice of 7 calendar days’ notice prior to any utility shutdowns and 10 calendar days for any road closures if it becomes necessary to interrupt the work activities of personnel at the project site, for construction purposes. The Contractor shall immediately notify the COR and/or contracting officer if underground utility lines are severed or damaged in anyway. Any utilities that are cut, damaged, or disrupted by the Contractor within three feet on either side of a staked or otherwise marked location, will be repaired at no cost to the government.

Beneficial Occupancy Inspection: The government reserves the right to take beneficial occupancy prior to completion of the work should the need arise. Once a task order project reaches the point where the government is able to move in, or requests to begin use of the facility, a Beneficial Occupancy (BO) inspection will be scheduled. A beneficial occupancy inspection shall not be considered a final inspection and does not stop the performance period clock on a task order.

Construction Completion: The government retains the right to terminate a Final Inspection if the severity or nature of any punch list item indicates that a Final Inspection is premature, or if in the opinion of the contracting officer, the number of punch list items is excessive. All costs associated with closeout activities shall be included in the Contractor’s coefficient.

Accident Reports: The Contractor shall comply with accident reporting requirements as required by local, state or federal authorities. A copy of all accident reports shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within 24 hours of the incident occurrence.

As-builts: The Contractor may be required to prepare existing condition drawings, which reflect the project current condition. At completion of a project, the Contractor shall submit to the government, for approval. One half-sized set of drawings (Marked “PRELIMINARY AS-BUILTS”) indicating all construction changes. The Contractor shall include in all as-built drawings GPS coordinates of all buried utility lines, valve boxes, etc., and the corners of all concrete pads/buildings in order to facilitate integration of these drawings into the NPS drawing system. All drawings that were submitted as part of the construction set shall be included in the as-built set of drawings. Once approved, the Contractor shall submit two copies of as-builts, incorporating all changes made from the construction set of drawings, as well as a CD, or electronic file containing the AutoCAD As-Built drawings. CD copy of the as-builts shall also contain all submitted drawings and a plot style table (w/ pen assignments). All as-builts shall include a common cover sheet with the project number, project name, and project location. Project location shall be clearly indicated on a full size map of the Park Unit. The Contractor shall not submit and the Government shall not approve final payment until all as-built drawings, O&M manuals, warranties, and other task order specific close-out documents have been submitted by the Contractor and approved by the Government.

Environmental Protection: The Contractor shall perform all work in such a manner as to minimize the pollution of air, water, or land and to control noise and dust within reasonable limits and in accordance with federal, state, and local environmental laws.

Asbestos and Lead Paint: When work is in areas suspected of containing asbestos or lead-based paint, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately. If asbestos and/or lead-based paint is encountered during the course of a project, work shall cease immediately and the Contracting Officer shall be notified.

Site Security: The Contractor shall be responsible for site security on all task orders unless noted otherwise in each task order. The Contractor shall provide security fencing, lighting, etc. Dependent on specific or unique site conditions, the Contractor may be required to provide guard services.
