Section 00100 - Bidding Schedule/Instructions to Bidders

BID SCHEDULE

1. OFFERS. The Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) in this Section shall be a coefficient. Coefficient means a numerical factor that represents costs (generally, but not exclusively, indirect costs) not in the Unit Price Book (UPB), e.g., general and administrative costs and other overhead costs, insurance costs, bonding, protective clothing, equipment rental, contractor’s profit and other costs (See Paragraph 6 in Instructions to Offerors). Coefficients shall be based on a factor of 1.00, or a percentage “decrease from” (e.g., 0.95) or "increase to" (e.g. 1.20) the unit prices listed in the UPB.

1.1. Offerors must submit coefficients for each work condition (See Attachment 1 STATEMENT OF WORK, Additional Contract Requirements, Paragraphs 31, 32, and 33) in order for the offer to be considered.

1.1.1. The UPB may not accurately reflect the total direct costs of many of the listed items, or the Wage Rate Requirement (Construction), as required by federal, state, or local law such as workers compensation, unemployment and disability insurance, Social Security, Medicare, etc. One possible reason could be variations in the local labor or material market caused by other private or Government contracts. The UPB may not accurately reflect local, and possibly severe, variations in the cost of labor and materials. All offerors are cautioned to closely review the UPB to determine an appropriate coefficient. Offerors should carefully consider both the local labor and material markets and their effect on the cost of doing work. Labor, material, and variations in those costs should be considered when formulating a coefficient.

1.1.2. Task orders (TOs) will be negotiated between the Government and the Contractor. The Contractor will not be given any projects in any particular order nor is the Contractor guaranteed any work above the minimum amount guaranteed in the contract. The contract will be an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The following chart depicts money obligated on the current JOC at Fort Drum, and is provided for informational purposes only:

1.1.3. Changes required by any modification issued will be in accordance with clauses 52.243-4 and 252.243-7001.

1.2. Separate coefficients have been identified for NORMAL WORKING HOURS, EMERGENCY WORK CONDITIONS, and ACCELERATED WORK CONDITIONS.

1.2.1. Normal work hours on Fort Drum are 7:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, notwithstanding the provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standard Act – Overtime Compensation clause herein. Offerors shall perform during normal working hours, in accordance with the Scope of Work specified in individual Task Orders issued against this Contract for the unit price sum specified in the Unit Price Book, multiplied by the coefficient for normal working hours (see Attachment 1 STATEMENT OF WORK, Additional Contract Requirements paragraphs entitled ORDERING PROCEDURES – NORMAL WORK HOURS). Work will not be permitted outside normal work hours, nor on Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays unless approved by the Contracting Officer, or as ordered under emergency or accelerated work conditions. The exclusion of work on Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays will be considered in negotiating Task Order performance time. Any work necessary on Saturday, Sundays, or legal holidays to maintain schedules herein shall be performed without additional cost to the Government.

1.2.2. EMERGENCY WORK CONDITIONS: Offerors shall perform under Emergency Work Conditions, in accordance with the scope of work specified in individual TOs issued against this contract for the unit price sum stated in the UPB, multiplied by the coefficient for Emergency Work Conditions (See Attachment 1 STATEMENT OF WORK, Additional Contract Requirements paragraph entitled ORDERING PROCEDURES – EMERGENCY WORK CONDITIONS).

1.2.3. ACCELERATED WORK CONDITIONS: Offerors shall perform under Accelerated Work Conditions, in accordance with the scope of work specified in individual TO's issued against this contract for the unit price sum stated in the UPB, multiplied by the coefficient for Accelerated Work Conditions (See Attachment 1 STATEMENT OF WORK, Additional Contract Requirements paragraph entitled ORDERING PROCEDURES – ACCELERATED WORK CONDITIONS).

1.2.4. A TO will only be ordered under one of the three conditions listed above. For example, a TO will not be ordered as 40% EMERGENCY WORK CONDITIONS and 60% ACCELERATED WORK CONDITIONS.

2. UNIT PRICE BOOK (UPB): The unit prices stated in the UPB are for complete and in-place construction unless explicitly described otherwise. The Contractor shall assume all risk for labor rate increases after award of the contract.

2.1. MATERIAL: Material costs factored into the UPB were determined by contacting manufacturers, dealers, distributors, and contractors throughout the United States.

2.2. EQUIPMENT: Equipment costs within the UPB include not only rental costs but also operating costs.

3. BONDS: Offerors are required to obtain both performance and payment bonds for the maximum yearly estimated amount of $22 Million. 100% of the yearly bonding requirement is due 10 days after contract award and/or option exercise. The potential exists that through contract modification the maximum annual quantity may exceed $22,000,000, up to an aggregate of $44,000,000. If the maximum yearly estimated amount is exceeded, the Contractor shall ensure bonding coverage is increased to cover all orders placed. The Contractor shall execute a consent of surety. The contract will not exceed the total maximum of $110,000,000.

4. OPTIONS:

4.1. The Government reserves the right to exercise options to extend the basic contract period of this contract for four additional 12-month option periods in accordance with FAR Clause 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract.

4.2. Coefficients for all option periods shall be determined by application of an annually updated catalog. The option period(s) will be from the start date contained in the modification that exercises the option and continue for 12 months thereafter.

5. CONTRACT VALUE:

5.1. Minimum Guaranteed Amount: There is a guaranteed minimum of $2,000.00 for the base ordering period and $2,000.00 for each optional ordering period, if the Government exercises the option period(s). A new minimum guarantee will be obligated upon exercise of each ordering period.

5.2. Maximum Value: The estimated dollar value of each annual ordering period is $22,000,000.00 or $110,000,000.00 total estimated amount of the base and option periods. In no event shall the sum of the base period and all option periods exceed the maximum value of $110,000,000.00.

5.3. The following example of Maximum Value is given: A contract has an estimate of $30,000,000 per period for the base period and two option periods, and an overall maximum value of $90,000,000 over the life of the contract. An Installation may order $50,000,000 in the first year, $30,000,000 in the second year, $10,000,000 in the third year, or it may order $60,000,000 in the first year, $30,000,000 in the second year, and never exercise the final option period.

5.4. If the Government’s requirements for the construction services set forth in the solicitation do not result in orders in the amounts described as “estimated maximum dollar value”, the event shall not constitute a basis for an equitable price adjustment under this contract.

6. PRICING OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS WITH OPTIONS: The Contracting Officer shall incorporate the most current wage determinations by modification to the contract each time the Contracting Officer exercises an option to extend the term of the contract. The Contracting Officer shall identify the applicable wage determination(s) to be incorporated into each task order issued during that option period. The wage determinations will be effective for the complete period of performance of those task orders without further revision. This will have no effect on the coefficient values.

The Contractor shall provide JOC construction services in accordance with the Scope of Work, specifications, and as may be otherwise noted on individual task orders. Base Period: 12 months beginning on date of contract award.

Bare costs are defined as:

· Material costs, which may include freight, but may not include any other overhead or associated costs by the prime and/or a subcontractor;

· Labor costs by the prime and/or a subcontractor;

Equipment that is to be used solely as a result of inclusion of the non-prepriced item, by the prime and/or a subcontractor.

3.5. The proposal should be specific, detailed, and complete in order to demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the solicitation requirements. Statements such as “the Offeror understands, assumes, can, or will comply with the Statement of Work”, statements that paraphrase the Statement of Work (SOW), or contain ambiguous phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used” will be considered unacceptable.

3.6. As stated in FAR Clause 52.215-1, the Government intends to evaluate and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offerors’ 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 otehrwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which and 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. If negotiations are deemed necessary, and proposal revisions are requested, they shall be submitted as an edited version of the original PDF document(s) with revised text readily identifiable using bolded font, red in color.

4. FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY: The Technical portion of the proposal encompasses the recognition of the full scope of services and their interrelationships in order to optimize responsiveness, timeliness, efficiency, and effectiveness of services rendered. The Technical proposal shall consist of a narrative and supporting data (e.g., matrix, charts, or other graphics) addressing the technical requirements necessary to support contract performance.

4.1. ELEMENT 1 - MANAGEMENT: The Offeror shall address the management areas defined below.

4.1.1. Response Time: Describe your local office location plan in order to meet the minimum response time to Fort Drum (see Attachment 1 STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) paragraph 1.2.).

POSITION REQUIREMENTS/CONTRACTOR STAFF/KEY PERSONNEL.

4.2. ELEMENT 2 - BONDING CAPACITY: The Offeror shall address their bonding capability defined below.

4.2.1. Proof of acceptable bonding coverage for the full contract. Performance and Payment Bonding capability shall be evaluated to determine if the Offeror has the bonding capability to fulfill the requirements of the contract. The bonding will be considered acceptable when the Offeror provides documentation at the time of proposal, with verification from the Securities or Bonding Company, to demonstrate their per task order ($22,000,000) and annual aggregate maximum capability ($44,000,000) for construction bonding in support of the estimated amounts for this contract. The corporate bonding surety must appear on the Department of Treasury Listing of Approved Sureties (Department Circular 570) and will be evaluated using such ratings as, but not limited to, A.M. Best Rating System, to assess the financial strength of the insuring organization and credit quality of their obligations. In accordance with SECTION 00100 – BID SCHEDULE, Paragraph 3. BONDS; the potential exists that through contract modification the maximum annual quantity may exceed $22,000,000. Therefore, after contract award the Contractor may be required to increase their bonding capability within that year. The contract will not exceed the total maximum of $110,000,000.

5. FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE:

5.1. The past performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an Offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by that Offeror’s record of past performance. In this context, “Offeror” refers to the proposed prime Contractor and teaming partners, major subcontractors, or joint ventures. Past performance shall be assessed by evaluating aspects of the Offeror’s relevant, and recent past performance, and how well they performed on prior contracts. Sources of past performance information for evaluation purposes will be provided by the Offeror from the Performance Assessment Questionnaire, which will be tailored to this acquisition. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the past performance assessment, the Government may use data provided in the Offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other established systems such as assessment and Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) reports from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) website. Information may also be obtained from other sources available to the Government, such as the Defense Contract Management Agency, State Department Watch Lists; and interviews with Program Managers, and Contracting Officers.

5.2. Relevant Assessment. A relevancy determination of the Offeror’s past performance will be made (including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)). The past performance information provided in the proposal and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the degree of relevancy of past performance information.

5.3. Recent Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. The past performance information provided in the proposal and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the degree of relevancy of past performance information.

5.4. Performance on prior contracts. The past performance evaluation should determine how well the Offeror performed on prior contracts. The Performance Assessment Questionnaire will be used to gather information from customers on how well the Offeror performed on past contracts.

5.5. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can reasonably be assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability / unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.” IAW FAR Subpart 19.6 Certificates of Competency and Determinations of Responsibility, any Offeror determined “unacceptable” during evaluation of their proposal shall have the matter referred to the SBA Government Contracting Area Office serving the area in which the headquarters of the offeror is located for a Certificate of Competency.

6. FACTOR 3: PRICE: JOC IDIQ price proposal shall consist of the Bid Schedule. Section 00100 Bid Schedule, Paragraph 6 Table shall be submitted fully completed and error free. It shall contain the offeror’s prices (coefficients) in the established format specified in the Bid Schedule. Coefficient means a numerical factor that represents costs (generally indirect costs) not considered to be included in the UPB prices. The coefficients are proposed as a percentage (in decimal format) increase or decrease to the UPB prices. For example, a coefficient of 1.2 would result in an additional 20 percent to the listed unit price; 0.9 would result in a 10 percent decrease of the listed prices, and 1.00 would leave the unit price as the proposed unit price. The offeror shall limit the Coefficients to two decimal places. The offeror shall propose Base Year coefficients for each SubCLIN. Offeror understand that Base year coefficients submitted will apply to the Option years as well. The Bid Schedule Table is also shown below in Part II (PART II – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD), paragraph 2.3.3.2.

The offeror shall fill out this table by inserting their respective coefficients for each of the associated working hours categories in column (a), then multiplying each coefficient by the respective proportion in column (b), and summing each of these weighted coefficient factors to produce the single weighted coefficient in Column (c) that will be used to develop the evaluated price in column (d). The sum of all working hours will equal the grant total and will be entered for NET AMOUNT under CLIN 001. All components of price shall be included in the offeror’s coefficient, as no allowance for omitted cost will be made later. The offeror’s Coefficients shall be all inclusive and shall include, but not be limited to, the following costs:

· General and Administrative and other Overhead

· Profit and risk

· Bond premiums

· Social security contributions

· Insurance Costs

· Employee Payroll Taxes

· Insurance and Fringe Benefits

· Subcontractors’ Overhead and Profit

· Mobilization and demobilization costs

· Site cleanup

· Labor adjustments between the Gordian Unit Price Book given labor rates and the current Wage Rate

· Requirement (Construction) Rates

· Supervision

· Quality control

· Transportation of contractor’s personnel to, from, and within the job site

· Shipping of all materials to the jobsite

· Lodging and per-diem

· Adjustment factors to account for small jobs

· Incidental tools and equipment

· Submittals

· Job Order preparation costs

· Any markups for materials and all contingencies

· Corporate Headquarters support (legal, financial, etc.)

· Waste and excess material

· Sales tax on material and equipment costs

· Compliance with EPA/OSHA regulations and protection and safety laws

END OF PART I – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

PART II – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. BASIS OF AWARD:

1.1. The Government intends to award a single award JOC IDIQ contract to the offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, and judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, is the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offer. As a basis for award, trade-offs between price and non-price factors are not permitted. Incomplete offers may be considered ineligible for award. As set forth in FAR 52.215-1(f)(4), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a single award JOC IDIQ contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), Clarifications and award without discussions). Therefore, the offerors’ 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 and 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. If negotiations are deemed necessary, and proposal revisions are requested, they shall be submitted as an edited version of the original PDF document(s) with revised text readily identifiable using bolded font, red in color. The proposals will be evaluated on three factors: Technical Acceptability, Past Performance, and Price.

1.2. The Government will evaluate each proposal under source selection procedures to determine the extent to which each proposal demonstrates both the capability to perform and a clear understanding of the JOC IDIQ requirements.

1.3. Proposals shall conform to or exceed solicitation requirements, and will be evaluated to determine which proposal is the lowest price technically acceptable based on technical capability, past performance, and price. Award will be made to the lowest price technically acceptable responsible Offeror on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting the capability standards for non-cost factors in accordance with the terms and conditions of the solicitation and evaluation procedures set forth in Section 00100 of the solicitation.

1.4. The Government will assess the proposal against the evaluation factors, and the soundness, completeness, and adequacy of the approach. The Government will evaluate the information presented in the proposal; where the Government has specified a maximum number of pages, any information above the maximum specified limitation will not be evaluated.

2. EVALUATION CRITERIA:

2.1. Evaluation criteria consists of factors and elements. The proposals will be evaluated under three evaluation factors: Technical Capability, Past Performance and Price.

2.2. The Government’s primary objective in selecting an awardee for the proposed contract is to make a determination based on a lowest price technically acceptable analysis of the proposal found under each evaluation factor.

2.3. EVALUATION FACTORS:

2.3.1. FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY: To be considered technically acceptable, offerors must demonstrate the capability to provide the elements set forth below as required by the solicitation. Technical Capability will be based on the following elements:

2.3.1.1. ELEMENT 1 - Management: The evaluation areas specific to the Management element are Response Time and On-Site Staff.

2.3.1.1.1. Your Response Time shall meet the minimum requirements listed in Attachement 1 STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) paragraph 1.2. Google maps will be utilized to calculate your proposed ability to meet the minimum response time based on your proposed site location.

2.3.1.1.2. Your On-Site Staff shall meet the minimum requirements listed in Attachment 1 STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) paragraph 1.3. POSITION REQUIREMENTS/CONTRACTOR STAFF/KEY PERSONNEL.

2.3.1.2. ELEMENT 2 - Bonding Capacity: The evaluation element specific to the Bonding Capacity element is proof of acceptable bonding coverage for the full contract. In accordance with Section 00100 – Bid Schedule, paragraphs 3. Bonds and 5. Contract Value, the Government may issue task orders in excess of the estimate annual amount of the $22 Million. If the maximum yearly estimated amount is exceeded, the Contractor shall ensure bonding coverage is increased to cover all orders placed.

2.3.1.3. Each Technical Capability element will receive one of the ratings defined below. The element ratings will be used to determine an overall rating for the factor. An Offeror receiving an unacceptable rating for any element within the Technical Capability factor will receive an unacceptable overall rating for the factor and will not be considered for award.

Technical Acceptable / Unacceptable Ratings

2.3.2. FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE.

2.3.2.1. Relevant Assessment. To be relevant, the Offeror’s work experience must be similar in nature of work, size, magnitude, complexity and scope to that required under the solicitation. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same/similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation. When determining the relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the Offeror, joint venture, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated

2.3.2.2. Recent Assessment. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the six years prior to the date of issuance of this solicitation. Recent past performance is defined as not more than six years prior to the RFP release date. Past performance information that fails this condition shall be considered “neutral”.

2.3.2.3. Performance on prior contracts. In order for performance on prior contracts to be evaluated acceptable, Offeror must be rated on the Performance Assessment Questionnaire, “Satisfactory Confidence” or higher. Past performance, information that fails this condition shall be considered Unacceptable. An Offeror that provides no or sparse past performance information shall be rated “neutral.”

2.2.2.4. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can reasonably be assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.” IAW FAR Subpart 19.6 Certificates of Competency and Determinations of Responsibility, any Offeror determined “unacceptable” during evaluation of their proposal shall have the matter referred to the SBA Government Contracting Area Office serving the area in which the headquarters of the offeror is located for a Certificate of Competency.

Past Performance Acceptable / Unacceptable Ratings

expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

2.3.3. FACTOR 3: PRICE:

2.3.3.1. FIRM FIXED PRICE COEFFICIENT: Offerors are advised that only offers submitted on a firm fixed price coefficient basis will be considered and that offers submitted on other than a firm fixed price coefficient basis will be rejected.

2.3.3.2. The Offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness using price analysis techniques outlined in FAR 15.404-1(b). The offeror shall develop its coefficient(s) using the following procedure. For purposes of evaluation, the Government will assume that 96% of the work will be done during normal work hours, 1% will be done during emergency work conditions, and 3% will be done under accelerated work conditions. In the event that the a different coefficient is proposed for Emergency or Accelerated Working Hours, an annual coefficient will be calculated based on a weighted average as follows:

Estimated Distribution of Normal, Emergency, and Accelerated Working Hours

Normal Working Hours

96%

Emergency Working Hours

1%

Accelerated Working Hours

3%

Grand Total

2.3.3.3. The Government, for evaluation purposes only, will multiply the weighted coefficient above by $22,000,000 representing estimated bare costs, to arrive at the evaluated price for purposes of determining the low price.

2.3.3.4. Completeness/Accuracy: The Offeror’s proposal is in compliance with paragraph 3. PROPOSAL FORMAT.

2.3.3.5. Reasonableness: A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
