Department of the Interior Contract Operations, National

Requiring activity: National Park Service / U.S. Park Police

RFQ information Detail

RFQ number

Acquisition method Open-market request for quotations published in SAM.gov and supplemented by direct email under the DOI RFO FAR Part 12 commercial acquisition framework

Primary NAICS 238190, Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors

Small-business size standard $19.0 million

PSC Z2FF, Repair or Alteration of Penal Facilities

Competition Total small business set-aside

Contract type Firm-fixed-price purchase order

Contract Specialist Casey J. Winters, Contract Specialist

Email casey_winters@ios.doi.gov

1. Request and Legal Effect

The National Park Service requests quotations to reinforce four holding-cell doors at the U.S. Park Police District 1 Substation, 1000 Ohio Drive SW, Washington, DC 20242.

This RFQ is a total small business set-aside. Quotations are solicited only from small business concerns under NAICS 238190 and the $19.0 million size standard. The selected concern must have an active registration in the System for Award Management and be otherwise eligible for award. The solicitation notice and every amendment are published in SAM.gov. Supplemental email outreach does not replace or change the official SAM.gov record.

The Government intends to issue one firm-fixed-price purchase order for the complete work described in Attachment 1.

A quotation is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government's signed purchase order is the Government's offer. A binding contract results only when the selected supplier accepts the purchase order in writing or begins substantial performance. No work may begin before the Contracting Officer issues both the purchase order and written notice to proceed.

2. Price Schedule

The firm-fixed price shall include field verification; labor; supervision; eight stainless-steel plates; consumables; equipment; tools; protection; welding; surface preparation;

finish work; testing; cleanup; transportation; travel; overhead; profit; and every incidental cost necessary for a complete result.

CLIN Description Quantity Unit Firm-fixed price

00010

Complete holding-cell door reinforcement in accordance with Attachment 1

1 Job $__________

Total evaluated firm-fixed price: $__________

The price breakdown requested in section 6 is informational and does not create separate payment items. One final invoice may be submitted after completion and Government acceptance.

3. Place and Period of Performance

Work will be performed at the USPP District 1 Substation, 1000 Ohio Drive SW, Washington, DC 20242.

The Contractor shall commence work within 10 calendar days after written notice to proceed and complete all work within 30 calendar days after written notice to proceed.

Onsite work shall occur on a schedule proposed by the Contractor and accepted in writing by the Contracting Officer's Representative.

No prequotation site visit is scheduled. After award and before fabrication, the Contractor shall verify the field conditions and dimensions required by Attachment 1.

4. Written Questions and Amendments

Email questions to casey_winters@ios.doi.gov. Questions must be submitted in writing.

The Government will publish every substantive question and answer through a written solicitation amendment in SAM.gov and furnish that amendment at the same time to every known solicitation recipient and every prospective source that requested the solicitation. A private communication, oral statement, or response from any other source does not change this RFQ.

A question received after the deadline may be answered only if the Contracting Officer determines that the answer will benefit all quoters and time permits issuance of a written amendment before closing. Each quoter shall acknowledge every amendment in its quotation.

5. Quotation Submission

Email the complete quotation to casey_winters@ios.doi.gov. The SAM.gov solicitation notice is the official source for amendments and deadline changes.

The email subject shall state the final assigned RFQ number and "USPP D1 Cell Door Reinforcement." The quoter is responsible for timely receipt. Prices shall remain firm for 60 calendar days after the quotation deadline.

Submit one signed PDF quotation. Clearly identify any additional product-data attachment.

6. Required Quotation Contents

The quotation shall include:

1. Legal business name, address, email address, Unique Entity Identifier, and signature of a person authorized to bind the concern.

2. Confirmation that the concern is actively registered in SAM and its size representation under NAICS 238190.

3. The completed CLIN 00010 price and total firm-fixed price.

4. An informational price breakdown for labor, stainless-steel plates and other materials, equipment, travel, and other direct costs.

5. A concise technical approach addressing the Statement of Work; field verification; exact plate quantity and dimensions; surface preparation; continuous full-perimeter Metal Inert Gas welding; compatible plate and filler materials; protection of glass, hardware, finishes, and police operations; hot-work and fire controls; edge finishing; door-function testing; and cleanup.

6. Confirmation that the quotation covers four doors and eight plates, each plate measuring 21 inches by 30 inches by 1/4 inch.

7. The proposed stainless-steel grade and finish and the basis for compatibility with the existing doors.

8. A proposed schedule showing completion within 30 calendar days after notice to proceed.

9. Identification of each proposed subcontractor and its work, or a statement that no subcontractor is proposed.

10. A statement identifying whether the quoter intends to perform work at a secondary site of the work as described in FAR 52.222-5. If yes, identify the location and the work to be performed there.

11. Identification of the country of manufacture for each stainless-steel plate and confirmation whether it is domestic construction material under FAR 52.225-9. A request to use foreign construction material shall include the information required by FAR 52.225-9 and FAR 52.225-10.

12. Acknowledgment of every solicitation amendment.

13. Identification of every exception or assumption. Silence means the quotation takes no exception to the RFQ and Attachment 1.

14. Each completed representation or disclosure required by FAR 52.209-2, FAR 52.209-11, FAR 52.219-1, and FAR 52.240-90 in Attachment 4, except information the applicable provision permits the quoter to supply through its current SAM representations.

7. Evaluation and Selection

The Government will select the responsible quoter submitting the lowest-priced technically acceptable quotation.

7.1 Technical Acceptability

The Government will rate technical acceptability as Acceptable or Unacceptable. A quotation is Acceptable only if it:

1. Takes no material exception to this RFQ or any attachment and satisfies every material solicitation requirement.

2. Covers all four doors and eight plates at the exact stated dimensions.

3. Commits to continuous full-perimeter Metal Inert Gas welds and compatible materials.

4. Provides a feasible approach, consistent with the Statement of Work, for field verification, surface preparation, welding, protection, finishing, door-function testing, hot-work control, and cleanup.

5. Commits to complete performance within 30 calendar days after notice to proceed.

A quotation rated Unacceptable is ineligible for award. The Government will not pay a premium for technical superiority.

7.2 Price

The Government will evaluate the total firm-fixed price for CLIN 00010 and determine price reasonableness. The Government may use competition, the informational price breakdown, the independent Government estimate, historical prices adjusted for relevant differences, available market information, or any combination of those methods.

If a quotation requests use of foreign construction material based on unreasonable cost, the Government will apply FAR 52.225-10.

7.3 Responsibility and Eligibility

Before award, the Government will verify the prospective contractor's active SAM registration, exclusions, responsibility, and size representation under NAICS 238190.

Small-business status under the assigned NAICS is an award-eligibility condition.

Quotations from concerns that are not small businesses will be rejected under FAR 52.219-6.

7.4 Exchanges and Purchase-Order Issuance

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue the purchase order without exchanges. Each initial quotation should contain the quoter's best terms. The Government may conduct fair exchanges, request a revised quotation, reject any or all quotations, or waive informalities and minor irregularities when the Contracting Officer determines that action is in the Government's interest.

8. Order Administration

The Contract Specialist is the preaward solicitation contact. Casey J. Winters is not the Contracting Officer.

Only the Contracting Officer may issue the purchase order, authorize performance, change the requirement, change the price or completion period, accept nonconforming work, or modify the resulting purchase order.

The Contracting Officer will designate a COR at award. The COR may coordinate access and scheduling, monitor performance, inspect the work, and document acceptance within the written delegation. The COR may not change the purchase order.

The Government will not pay for quotation preparation or work performed without authorization.

8.1 Federal Contract Information

The Contractor shall safeguard nonpublic Government information received or generated during contract performance in accordance with FAR 52.240-93 in Attachment 4. The Government will provide facility-entry and security instructions during postaward coordination under the Statement of Work.

In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work and shall immediately cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid a percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the

If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government-authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (s)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

(t) Comptroller General examination of record. This paragraph applies if this contract was awarded using other than sealed bid procedures and is in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold on the date of award of this contract.

(1) The Comptroller General of the United States, or an authorized representative of the Comptroller General, shall have access to and right to examine any of the Contractor’s directly pertinent records involving transactions related to this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall make available at its offices, at all reasonable times, the records, materials, and other evidence for examination, audit, or reproduction, until 3 years after final payment under this contract or for any shorter period specified in FAR part 4, longer period required by statute, or periods specified in other clauses of this contract. If this contract is completely or partially terminated, the records relating to the work terminated shall be made available for 3 years after any resulting final termination settlement. Records relating to appeals under the disputes clause or to litigation or the settlement of claims arising under or relating to this contract shall be made available until such appeals, litigation, or claims are finally resolved.

(3) As used in this clause, records include books, documents, accounting procedures and practices, and other data, regardless of type and regardless of form. This clause does not require the Contractor to create or maintain any record that the Contractor does not maintain in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to a provision of law.

(u) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor’s representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.

minimum wage and how to obtain annual updates. The applicable published E.O.

minimum wage is incorporated by reference into this contract.

(3)

(i) The Contractor may request a price adjustment only after the effective date of the new annual E.O. minimum wage determination. Prices will be adjusted only for increased labor costs (including subcontractor labor costs) as a result of an increase in the annual E.O. minimum wage, and for associated labor costs (including those for subcontractors). Associated labor costs must include increases or decreases that result from changes in social security and unemployment taxes and workers' compensation insurance, but will not otherwise include any amount for general and administrative costs, overhead, or profit.

(ii) Subcontractors may be entitled to adjustments due to the new minimum wage, pursuant to paragraph (b)(2). Contractors must consider any subcontractor requests for such price adjustment.

(4) The Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.

(5) A pay period under this clause may not be longer than semi-monthly, but may be shorter to comply with any applicable law or other requirement under this contract establishing a shorter pay period. Workers must be paid no later than one pay period following the end of the regular pay period in which such wages were earned or accrued.

(6) The Contractor must pay, unconditionally to each worker, all wages due free and clear without subsequent rebate or kickback. The Contractor may make deductions that reduce a worker's wages below the E.O. minimum wage rate only if done in accordance with 29 CFR 23.230, Deductions.

(7) The Contractor must not discharge any part of its minimum wage obligation under this clause by furnishing fringe benefits or, with respect to workers whose wages are governed by the Service Contract Labor Standards statute, the cash equivalent thereof.

(8) Nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from compliance with any applicable Federal or State prevailing wage law or any applicable law or municipal ordinance or any applicable contract establishing a minimum wage higher than the E.O.

14026 minimum wage. However, wage increases under such other laws or municipal ordinances are not subject to price adjustment under this subpart.

(9) The Contractor must pay the E.O. minimum wage rate whenever it is higher than any applicable collective bargaining agreement(s) wage rate.

(10) The Contractor must follow the policies and procedures in 29 CFR 23.240(b) and

23.280 for treatment of workers engaged in an occupation in which they customarily and regularly receive more than $30 a month in tips.

(ii) Individuals exempted from the minimum wage requirements of the FLSA under 29 U.S.C. 213(a) and 214(a) and (b), unless otherwise covered by the Service Contract Labor Standards statute, or the Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) statute. These individuals include but are not limited to—

(B) Students whose wages are calculated pursuant to special certificates issued under 29 U.S.C. 214(b); and

(d) Notice. The Contractor must notify all workers performing work on, or in connection with, this contract of the applicable E.O. minimum wage rate under this clause. With respect to workers covered by the Service Contract Labor Standards statute or the Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) statute, the Contractor may meet this requirement by posting, in a prominent and accessible place at the worksite, the applicable wage determination under those statutes. With respect to workers whose wages are governed by the FLSA, the Contractor must post notice, utilizing the poster provided by the Administrator, which can be obtained at www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts, in a prominent and accessible place at the worksite. Contractors that customarily post notices to workers electronically may post the notice electronically provided the electronic posting is displayed prominently on any Web site that is maintained by the contractor, whether external or internal, and customarily used for notices to workers about terms and conditions of employment.

(e) Payroll Records.

(1) The Contractor must make and maintain records, for three years after completion of the work, containing the following information for each worker:

(v) Any deductions made; and

(vi) Total wages paid.

Administrator. The Contractor must also make such records available upon request of the Contracting Officer.

(3) The Contractor must make a copy of the contract available, as applicable, for inspection or transcription by authorized representatives of the Administrator.

(4) Failure to comply with this paragraph (e) shall be a violation of 29 CFR 23.260 and this contract. Upon direction of the Administrator or upon the Contracting Officer's own action, payment must be withheld until such time as the noncompliance is corrected.

(5) Nothing in this clause limits or otherwise modifies the Contractor's payroll and recordkeeping obligations, if any, under the Service Contract Labor Standards statute, the Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) statute, the Fair Labor Standards Act, or any other applicable law.

(h) Disputes. Department of Labor has set forth in 29 CFR 23.510, Disputes concerning contractor compliance, the procedures for resolving disputes concerning a contractor's compliance with Department of Labor regulations at 29 CFR part 23. Such disputes must be resolved in accordance with those procedures and not the Disputes clause of this contract. These disputes include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the Department of Labor, or the workers or their representatives.

(i) Antiretaliation. The Contractor must not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any worker because such worker has filed any complaint or instituted or caused to be instituted any proceeding under or related to compliance with the E.O. or this clause, or has testified or is about to testify in any such proceeding.

(j) Subcontractor compliance. The Contractor is responsible for subcontractor compliance with the requirements of this clause and may be held liable for unpaid wages due subcontractor workers.

The Contractor must include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (k) in all subcontracts, regardless of dollar value, that are subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards statute or the Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) statute, and are to be performed in whole or in part in the United States.
