SUSTAINABLE BUILDING CONSIDERATIONS AND AFFIRMATIVE PROCUREMENT

Executive Order 13693 established energy reduction and environmental requirements in the Federal Government. Agencies are required to: design and construct sustainable facilities; reduce waste, prevent pollution; acquire and utilize products and services that are energy efficient, water efficient, contain recycled content, environmentally preferable, biobased, non-ozone depleting, and less toxic alternatives. To comply with these regulations the contractor should:

• Use the most energy and water efficient design, equipment, and appliances that are practical

• Use Energy Star and DOE’s Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP)–designated energy efficient products, components, and appliances (www.energystar.gov/products and www.eere.energy.gov/femp)

• Use water efficient products that meet criteria for water efficiency and performance (www.epa.gov/watersense).

• Use “Environmentally Preferable Products” and “Recycled Content Products” as designated in EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (www.epa.gov/cpg/).

• Use biobase products that are composed in whole, or in significant part, of biological products or renewable domestic agricultural materials designated by USDA as biobased items (www.usda.gov/biopreferred).

1.7 NOTICE OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: (Ref Contract Clause No. FAR 52.211-12) A liquidated damages clause is set forth in this solicitation in the amount of (to be determined with each Task Order) for each calendar day of delay https://www.nps.gov/tps/standards/treatment-guidelines-2017.pdf https://www.astm.org/ http://www.energystar.gov/products http://www.eere.energy.gov/femp http://www.epa.gov/watersense http://www.epa.gov/cpg/ http://www.usda.gov/biopreferred

NOTE: Each of the resulting contracts will include a five-year ordering period. The minimum and maximum values for a single Task Order are $2,000 and $250,000.00, respectively. The cumulative maximum value for all Task Orders awarded under this solicitation shall not exceed $1,950,000.00 over the life of the contract.

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 awards of common, relatively non-complex, real property maintenance, repair, alteration, and/or new Painting Construction Projects. Therefore, contractors’ responsiveness under the terms of this contract is paramount. Once the contracting officer or his/her designated representative notifies the contractor(s) of a Task Order requirement, the contractor(s) 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, contractor(s) 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 the Painting Construction IDIQ(s), an 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. 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 RFP.

Upon receipt of the notification from the Contracting Officer, the awarded contractor(s) 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: Projects determined by the Contracting Officer to be within the scope of this contract, shall be offered to IDIQ Contractor(s) for the purpose of providing a price or best value proposal.

Individual Task Order awards on these projects will be based on competitive proposals received exclusively from the Painting Construction Project IDIQ contractor(s). The Government also reserves the right to issue competitive solicitations and award contracts for construction activities covered by the IDIQ(s) on an open market basis. In this event, the Painting Construction Project IDIQ contractor(s) 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:

1) The agency’s need for construction services of such urgency that providing such opportunity to all such contractors would result in unacceptable delays;

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

3) 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

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

Painting Construction Projects IDIQ contractor(s) shall submit an offer on all projects offered by submitting a quote/proposal to the Contracting Officer in accordance with requirements stated in the RFP. In the event a contractor is unable to submit an offer in response to an 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 contracts, 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 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, Contractors shall typically provide a price proposal in response to an RFP. Contractors shall respond within the number of calendar days stated in the RFP by submitting a proposal to the Contracting Officer in accordance with requirements of the 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. Contractors shall include in the prices for the items listed in the pricing schedule, all costs for work in the specifications, whether specifically listed in the pricing schedule.

Proposals and Final Proposal Revisions: Offerors shall specifically identify all deviations from the minimum 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 shall also be priced. All proposed alternates shall be specifically addressed and expanded upon in proposal submissions to include separate pricing information. The Government, in its discretion, may reject any proposal with deviations.

Evaluation Method and Procedures: Price will be the common evaluation method for most RFPs. 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 for 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 RFP will describe the criteria to be utilized in evaluating Task Order proposals.

Task Order Award Decision: Task order award will be made based on the evaluation method described in each RFP. The award will be a firm fixed-priced task order with a specific completion date or performance period.

Task Order Issuance: Task Orders will be issued on Optional Form 347. Orders may be distributed via mail, facsimile, or electronic means. A 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.

A standard Task Order will be awarded 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:

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 a Contractor determines post-award an alternate method of construction, the Contractor shall 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. 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.

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.

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 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.

Work Interruptions and Street Closures: The Contractor shall provide a minimum notice of 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.

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 can 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.

SECTION G CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

G.1 Contractor 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.

c. All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

e. Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in CPARS marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6. The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a. Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b. Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c. Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7. If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8. A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.
