EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. The United States Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI) requests a proposal on behalf of Rock Island Garrison (USAG – RIA) consisting of furnishing labor, material, and equipment to repair the roof on Building 66 and 67 on the Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, IL. All work is to be done in accordance with the Scope of Work (SOW) for project 2023-755.

2. The project completion date for this project is 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to Proceed. See Section 1.3 and 2.1 of the Scope of Work.

1.3.1 The Base Bid consists of furnishing all labor and material as necessary to complete the installation of a new roofing system on Building 66 and 67 as shown on the attached drawings. The Base Bid completion date shall be 180 days after notice to proceed.

2.1.1 The contractor shall be required to commence physical work under this contract within 45 calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, prosecute the work diligently, and complete the entire work ready for use not later than 180 calendar days after the date the contractor receives the notice to proceed. The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.

Contractor submission of all closeout documentation is also included within this timeline.

Failure in completing the project in the allotted 180 calendar days will result in a deduction at the liquidated damages rate of $1,000.00 (one thousand dollars) per each calendar day of delay until the project is completed or accepted. See Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.211-12.

3. This requirement will be competed on SAM.gov at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ as a 100% Small Business Set Aside.

4. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 238160, Roofing Contractors. The Product Service Code is Z2QA, Repair or Alteration of Restoration of Real Property (public or Private).

5. All Offerors MUST be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database in accordance with FAR 52.204-7 and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7004 when submitting an offer, and shall continue to be registered until time of award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. Lack of registration in SAM will make an Offeror ineligible for award.

Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the SAM website at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ or by calling 866-606-8220.

6. The Government will award a single Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) type contract from this solicitation to the responsive, responsible Offeror with lowest price and an acceptable past performance rating as outlined in paragraph 7. This Request for Proposal (RFP) contains one contract line-item number, CLIN 0001 which represents one firm-fixed price base bid.

7. The contractor shall submit a total of three past performance references for similar projects that are within the last five years and may include subcontractor references.

a. Each reference shall include the information bulleted below:

Contracting agency/company and technical points of contact with their phone numbers, electronic-mail addresses, and titles.

Contract number and delivery/task order number, as applicable.

The original contract award date (for the base period of performance) and the completion (or estimated completion) date (shall reflect all option periods).

Contract value (value of each performance period shall be identified).

Scope of work.

b. If applicable, the submittal in this section shall also list any contract or purchase order under which either a cure notice or show cause letter was received, or any contract or purchase order that was terminated for cause by the Government within the past three years. The contractor must briefly explain the facts and circumstances in each such instance.

The Government will evaluate past performance as acceptable/unacceptable. The Government will contact all contract references provided and conduct research into Government Databases on past performance (PPIRs, CPARs, etc.) to determine past performance to be relevant and recent and to determine that past performance to be acceptable.

Relevant past performance efforts involve similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFP requires.

Recent past performance is within the past 5 years.

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method is as follows:

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown (See note below).

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

In the case of an offeror without a record of recent/relevant past performance no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The Offeror will be given an acceptable rating.

8. The Government anticipates price competition; therefore, certified cost or pricing data is not required to be submitted with the Offeror’s proposal. However, the Government reserves the right to request certified cost or pricing data in the event price competition does not exist.

9. The bidder shall provide a price consisting of itemized pricing for labor, material, and equipment to include subcontractors’ quotes. An analysis will be conducted on the itemized pricing to determine the demonstrated understanding of the requirement to successfully perform to the terms and conditions of the contract. Fair and Reasonable price will be determined by comparing current competition, historical data, and the government estimate. Rates must be in line with the Davis Bacon wages for the Rock Island County, Illinois to be determined fair and reasonable to be considered for award.

10. The Government will review prices to determine whether they are so low that they reflect a lack of technical understanding which could result in the proposal not being considered for award.

11. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued at the Pre-Construction conference, which will be scheduled after the approval of Performance and Payment Bonds. The awardee shall prepare and submit a practicable schedule and Quality Control Plan (QCP) to the Contracting Officer for approval within 15 days after the NTP. The remaining pre-submittals are due within 30 days after issuance of the NTP, with commencement of physical work to begin 45 days after NTP. Per allowance provided within FAR Clause 52.236-15, titled “Schedules for Construction Contracts (APR 1984)”, the Contracting Officer has authorized a revision to paragraph (a) of the clause. FAR clause 52.236- 15 as revised is included in its entirety below.

52.236-15 SCHEDULES for CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (APR 1984)

(a) The Contractor shall, within 15 days after issuance of the notice to proceed, submit three copies of a practicable schedule to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative for approval. The schedule shall show the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient features of the work (including acquiring materials, plant, and equipment). The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion by any given date during the period. If the Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule.

(b) The Contractor shall enter the actual progress on the chart as directed by the Contracting Officer, and upon doing so shall immediately deliver three copies of the annotated schedule to the Contracting Officer. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the approved schedule, the Contractor shall take steps necessary to improve its progress, including those that may be required by the Contracting officer, without additional cost to the Government. In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and/or the amount of construction plant, and to submit for approval any supplementary schedule or schedules in chart form as the Contracting Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained.

(c) Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer under this clause shall be grounds for a determination by the Contracting Officer that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion within the time specified within the contract. Upon making this determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor’s right to proceed with the work, or any separable part of it, in accordance with the default terms of this contract.

12. Contractor shall obtain all licenses and certifications required by Federal, State, and Local environmental laws and regulations necessary to adhere to the specifications of this contract. The Contractor shall submit all plans, notifications, reports, submittal documents, and fees required by Federal, State, and Local environmental laws and regulations to the appropriate Federal, State, and Local authority and/or agency as necessary to adhere to the specifications of this contract. All required licenses and certifications required by Federal, State, and Local environmental laws and/or regulations shall be considered a contract deliverable upon award. See FAR Clause 52.236-7.

13. Contractor shall adhere to FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. Please see the full text clause incorporated in this solicitation for further details.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.215-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION (NOV 2021)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

“Discussions” are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal.

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression that can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

“Time”, if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

(b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals. (1) Unless other methods (e.g., electronic commerce or facsimile) are permitted in the solicitation, proposals and modifications to proposals shall be submitted in paper media in sealed envelopes or packages (i) addressed to the office specified in the solicitation, and (ii) showing the time and date specified for receipt, the solicitation number, and the name and address of the offeror.

Offerors using commercial carriers should ensure that the proposal is marked on the outermost wrapper with the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this provision.

(2) The first page of the proposal must show--

(i) The solicitation number;

(ii) The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

(iii) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all items upon which prices are offered at the price set opposite each item;

(iv) Names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and electronic addresses if available) of persons authorized to negotiate on the offeror's behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation; and

(v) Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal. Proposals signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent's authority, unless that evidence has been previously furnished to the issuing office.

(3) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals.

(i) Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications, or revisions, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

(2) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals. Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide any item or combination of items.

(5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers, is included in the solicitation.

(6) Offerors may submit modifications to their proposals at any time before the solicitation closing date and time, and may submit modifications in response to an amendment, or to correct a mistake at any time before award.

(7) Offerors may submit revised proposals only if requested or allowed by the Contracting Officer.

(8) Proposals may be withdrawn at any time before award. Withdrawals are effective upon receipt of notice by the Contracting Officer.

(d) Offer expiration date. Proposals in response to this solicitation will be valid for the number of days specified on the solicitation cover sheet (unless a different period is proposed by the offeror).

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall--

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed--in whole or in part--for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(f) Contract award.

(1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.
