1.0 OVERVIEW

1.1 Interested firms (here after referred to as Offerors) shall submit proposal demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the construction contract resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein.

1.2 This is a “Best Value” solicitation for the construction of Port of Nome Modification Phase 1, located at

Nome, Alaska. Offerors shall submit proposals demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the construction contract resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and award a firm fixed price (FFP) contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government utilizing the trade-off process described in FAR 15.101-1.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

AM#0001….

2.1 The Contracting Officer will award a FFP contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority has determined conforms to the solicitation and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors, described herein, and price. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined are considered approximately equal to price, however the Contract Award may not exceed the funds available for this project. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offerors. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. If there is a lower priced, conforming offer, the Source Selection Authority (SSA) must determine the added value of the more expensive proposal that would justify award to that offeror. ….AM#0001

3.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Proposals should be submitted initially in the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint.

Do not assume offerors will be contacted or awarded an opportunity to clarify, discuss, or revise their proposal.

3.2 Firms formally recognized as small business firms formally organized as construction contractors that have associated specifically for this project, consortia of firms, or any other interested parties may submit proposals. Associations may be as joint ventures or as key subcontractors.

3.3 Submit proposal in as specified in Section 00 21 00. Note that the Government will not evaluate any material that exceeds the page limits, indicated in the sections below.

Deep Water Basin

PROJECT PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

• United States only deep-water port in the Arctic.

• Provides a critical link with 60 communities and the rest of Alaska.

• The existing port facilities in the region are overcrowded and have insufficient draft to accommodate larger and deeper drafting vessel traffic.

• The proposed project objective is to improve support for multiple maritime missions: cargo transportation, search and rescue, emergency and oil spill response, natural resource exploration by:

• Reducing draft limitations to allow use by more efficient vessels.

• Increasing dock space to serve more vessels safely and to avoid delays.

• Increasing navigation area to allow for safe and efficient maneuvering of all vessels.
