4. MINIMUM GUARANTEE AND TASK ORDER RFP PARTICIPATION

a) THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE ORDER(S) VALUE for the IDIQ contract is $2,500.00 for each IDIQ contract, provided that the contractor can demonstrate it has exercised due diligence and made its best efforts to secure at least one (1) TO.

b) The minimum guarantee will be issued via task order with the main IDIQ contracts. Award of the first TO meeting or exceeding the minimum guarantee to individual contract awardees fulfills the minimum guarantee requirement. After the award of the first task order to an individual contract awardee, a modification will be issued to their minimum guarantee task order to administratively remove funds and close out the task order.

If the contractor is unsuccessful in securing a task order during the five (5) year contract period and optional six (6) month extension, if exercised, the contractor shall submit an invoice against the task order for the minimum guarantee.

c) Contractors shall submit an offer on all projects offered by submitting a proposal to the contracting officer per requirements stated in the TO RFP. In the event, a contractor is unable to submit an offer in response to a TO RFQ and TO RFP, the contractor shall notify the TO contracting officer via email of their intent to not compete by providing the solicitation number, project title and the reason for not submitting an offer.

C – DESCRIPTION/ SPECIFICATIONS

The contractor shall perform in accordance with the IDIQ scope of work (Attachment 0001) and with the specific scope of work of each task order (Attachment 007, task order to be awarded at time of award). Each task order will contain information that is indicative of conditions to be encountered. Work may occur in various natural area habitats in Florida and the U.S. Caribbean including, but not limited to, submerged aquatic systems, fresh and saltwater marshes and prairies, coastal islands, beaches, mangrove forests, hardwood hammocks, pinelands, and cypress forests. The invasive and nuisance plant species work may take place on various disturbed or developed sites including, but not limited to, along roadways, parkways, recreational areas, camping areas, parking areas, vistas, canals, or in developed landscapes, including cultural landscapes and around buildings. Contractors may be required to work in harsh environments that include, but are not limited to, areas with uneven footing, slippery surfaces, flooded conditions, and steep slopes, as well as remote, difficult-to-access locations.

At a minimum, the task order will describe the work area and provide the date and time of the site visit. Other information provided by the agency like plant density and types of species are considered accurate estimates and best professional judgment, however, it is ultimately the contractors’ responsibility to review the site to develop a proposal for work. Additionally, herbicide quantities will be determined at the task order level due to the complexity of specific sites and different herbicides used in the IDIQ. Herbicides not listed in Section B- Price Schedule but requested in a task order will be determined at the task order level. Those herbicide pricing and quantities will be evaluated in the task order source selection decision.

H – SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

DOI AAAP-0050 V2 Notice to Contractors

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (December 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 PPIRS-RC 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.
