Here, JB CHS encompasses the following locations: Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, Charleston, SC; Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station, Goose Creek, SC; Short Stay Recreational Area, Moncks Corner, SC; North Auxiliary Airfield, North, SC; Defense Fuel Supply Point, Charleston, SC. In addition, MACC vendors will support Seymour Johnson AFB and Shaw AFB for emergency use.

The type of work vendors can expect will include, but is not limited to, new construction, alteration/repair and/or demolition of buildings and structures, roads, grounds, and utilities. Work may also include design/build from concept to full 100% design. Vendors will furnish all materials, equipment, transportation, and personnel necessary for project requirements and to manage and accomplish multiple, simultaneous projects.

b. Initial Contract Issue, Seed Project, Post Award Orientation:

Initial contract will be awarded in accordance with Section M and solicitation requirements. The Government intends to award the Seed project to the JB CHS MACC awardee providing the overall Best Value to the Government. This will meet that awardees minimum contract guarantee. All other JB CHS MACC awardees will receive a $2,000 Post-Award Orientation Task Order to satisfy guaranteed minimums. All awardees will be required to attend the Post-Award Orientation. The Seed project Task Order and Post-Award Orientation Task Orders are contingent on availability of funds.

c. Task Order Proposal Preparation A Task Order Proposal Request (TOPR) will be issued to solicit all Task Orders under the MACC subsequent to Initial Contract Issue, the Seed Project Task Order, and Post Award Orientation Task Orders.

All costs for preparation of task order proposals, whether funded or unfunded, shall be the contractor’s responsibility. At no time shall the government provide reimbursement for the preparation of proposals. If awarded a TO for a design-build project requiring design, the successful contractor will complete the design, up to the 100% level, unless otherwise specified in the TOPR. This will include participating in design reviews, conducted at Joint Base Charleston, at each design milestone (35%, 65%, etc) described in the TOPR. To be considered responsive for a design-build TOPR, offerors may be required to submit a conceptual design as part of the proposal.

Estimation of Task Order Proposals in Advance of Funding: During the course of the contract, the Contractor may be required to provide proposals on TOPRs in advance of funding. These TOs may not have funding available and there is no guarantee that funds will become available for award of the Task Order. No separate compensation for any pre-order costs including proposal preparation and attendance during negotiations or site visits will be due to the contractor for TOs that are negotiated and funding is not provided.

Fiscal Year-End Procedures: The Contractor may be given a list of TOs that JB Charleston reasonably expects to receive funding. The list may be revised for both additions and deletions based on the Government’s requirements. The Government shall incur no obligation until such time as funding become available and a TO is executed.

d. Task Order Proposal Evaluation Criteria:

Proposals received in response to a TOPR will be evaluated based on compliance with the TOPR requirements and the proposed price. Price evaluations will determine reasonableness of an offeror’s price and balance of an offeror’s CLIN structure. To that end, the Government may use various techniques, including but not limited to those defined in FAR 15.404.

e. Competition: MACC awardees will compete for subsequent task orders. Contractors are required to submit responsive proposals on 75% of TOPRs over a twelve (12) month period of performance or risk being removed from the MACC at no cost to the Government in accordance with On & Off-Ramp Procedures.
