The Fort Hunter Liggett Directorate of Public Works is seeking from qualified contractors to provide Maintenance, Repair, Upgrade and Construction services for a Job Order Contract (JOC) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) for the Fort Hunter Liggett, Directorate of Public Works. The Government intends to award one single firm fixed price IDIQ JOC type contract with a base year and four option years. The work includes but not limited to construction type services to provide and or maintain real property facilities for design, construction, or repair of major or minor construction situations. These construction situations may be renovation, repairs and alterations, preventive maintenance, environmental abatement, and operations activities. In addition, to provide a timely response to remediation of real and personal property facilities, e.g., maintenance, repair, asbestos and lead-based paint abatement, and minor construction situations relating to, but not limited to, civil, mechanical, plumbing, structural, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), instrumentation, anti-terrorism and force protection.

The objective of the JOC contract is to provide a quick, responsive and cost efficient method to accomplish a broad range of sustainment, restoration, modernization (SRM) and minor construction requirements to support the mission of the U.S Army

1.1 Background.

1.1.1 Fort Hunter Liggett (FHL) is in Monterey County, California, approximately twenty-five (25) miles southwest of King City and (86) eighty-six miles south of old Fort Ord. Generally, the installation is bounded on the north by Los Padres National Forest and private lands, on the east by the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains, on the south by the Monterey/San Luis Obispo county line, and on the west by approximately fifty-five (55) miles of Los Padres National Forest. The installation encompasses approximately one-hundred-sixty two-thousand (162,000) acres and provides a vast array of training ranges and other facilities year-round for Combat Support and Combat Service Support units of the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR), and training opportunities for other branches of the U.S. military and Government agencies. FHL’s mission is to maintain and allocate training areas, airspace, facilities, and ranges to support field maneuvers, live-fire exercises, testing, and institutional training. Additionally, the installation provides quality-of-life assets and logistical support to training units.

1.1.2 Parks Reserve Force Training Area (PRFTA) is in Alameda/Costa Contra Counties, California, approximately twenty-five (25) miles southeast of Oakland and (35) thirty-five miles north of San Jose. Generally, the installation is bounded on the north by the City of San Ramone, on the east, south and west by the City of Dublin. The installation encompasses approximately two-thousand four hundred and seventy-eight (2,478) acres and provides an environment that supports individual, collective, and institutional training, as well as provide training facilities and selected installation services for the total force, especially U.S. Army Reserve components. PRFTA’s mission is to provide infrastructure and services support to tenant units on a streamlined installation management, committed to unit readiness, quality of life for our Soldiers, Civilians, and Family Members and community development through partnerships.

In 1964 the installation was declared excess except for 1600 acres retained for National Guard and Navy use. In 1980 it was re-designated as a semi-active installation and renamed Parks Reserve Forces Training Area. In 1992 it became a sub-installation of Fort Lewis, and in 1993 Command and Control moved from FORSCOM to Army Reserve Command in Atlanta, Georgia and PRFTA became a direct-reporting installation of Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. In 2005 PRFTA became a sub-installation of USAG Fort Hunter Liggett supporting Active Army, Army Reserve, National Guard, Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, and Army ROTC.

1.1.3 Moffett Field (MF) is in Santa Clara County, California, approximately forty (40) miles southeast of San Francisco and (10) miles north of San Jose.

2.1.3 Recognized / Federal Holidays.

2.2 Contract Execution Documents.

2.2.1 Unit Price Book (UPB), Software Requirements, Technical Specifications

2.2.1.1 Unit Price Book: The UPB and the approved compatible estimating software shall be utilized for all applicable pricing under this contract. Government designated the most current RSMeans Facilities Construction Cost Data is the UPB for this contract and it shall be the sole source of pre-priced costs. Work tasks required for completion of specific project requirements that are not considered part of the "complete, in-place construction" of UPB items or are not otherwise contained in the UPB are called non-pre-priced (NPP), and their use is defined herein. “Actual” market pricing is not relevant under this contract except when necessary for calculating non-pre-priced work tasks. Any difference between actual prices and UPB pricing shall not constitute grounds for failure to perform nor shall be grounds for any equitable adjustment in the price for the task order.

The estimating software shall be fully compatible with the MEANS databases, and shall readily accommodate the application of the location factors, the contractor’s coefficient(s), and the incorporation of non-pre-priced cost items. Within 14 calendar days of contract award, the contractor shall acquire cost data and associated software trial version meeting these criteria and submit them to the Government for approval prior to purchasing.

2.2.1.1.1 R. S. Means Cost Data contains net unit prices for the description of work to be accomplished at the unit of measure identified. These net prices provide consideration for all direct labor, materials, and equipment costs necessary to provide complete, in-place construction (or demolition).

2.2.1.1.2 All indirect costs at the prime contractor level shall be covered by the Contractor’s coefficient(s). In addition to the costs defined in the PWS, the Contractor’s coefficients shall include consideration for anticipated yearly inflation and or other market fluctuations occurring through the end of the calendar year in advance of acquisition of the updated Cost Data (unless the Contractor opts to procure updated cost data more frequently from the vendor at no additional cost to the Government).

2.2.1.2 The RSMeans Facilities Construction Cost Data and the RSMeans Assemblies Cost Data shall be updated quarterly.

2.2.1.3 Price adjustments for each option under this contract shall be made by using the latest version of the RSMeans Facilities Construction Cost Data.

2.2.1.4 All costs used from the databases shall be bare costs.

2.2.1.5 The following Subdivisions/Major Classifications, as contained in any of the RSMeans bound or electronic databases shall NOT be used as line items in pricing task orders issued under this contract. All costs associated with the following Subdivisions/Major Classifications shall be covered in the Contractor’s coefficients:

2.2.1.5.1 Subdivision 01-11 – Summary of Work, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.5.2 Subdivision 01-21 – Allowances, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.5.3 Subdivision 01-31 – Project Management and Coordination, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.5.4 Subdivision 01-32 – Construction Progress Documentation, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.5.5 Subdivision 01-41 – Regulatory Requirements, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.5.6 Subdivision 01-51 – Temporary Utilities, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.5.7 Subdivision 01-52 – Construction Facilities, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.5.8 Subdivision 01-54-09 – Protection Equipment, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.5.9 Subdivision 01-54-39 – Construction Equipment, excluded in its entirety.

2.2.1.6 Unit Price Book Definitions:

2.2.1.6.1 Unit Price Book The list and price information for all pre-priced items covered in this contract. The UPB shall include the base cost pricing from the RSMeans Facilities Cost Data Guide, RSMeans Assemblies and the RSMeans Master Composite Cost Data Guides – consisting of Building Construction, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Green Book, Interior, Site Work & Landscape, Concrete & Masonry and Heavy Construction Cost Data. The UPB shall also include RSMeans trades line items, selective demolition line items, removal and replacement line items, average line items, and Government Furnished Materials line items.

2.2.1.6.1.1 Line item: An item or system denoted in the UPB by a unique line item number.

2.2.1.6.1.2 Bare costs: The cost of a line item without any multiplier.

2.2.1.6.1.3 Multipliers: All factors added to the bare cost pricing of the UPB.

2.2.1.6.1.4 Pre-priced line item: A line item from the UPB with approved changes.

2.2.1.6.1.5 Non-pre-priced line item (NPI): A line item that is not a pre-priced line item.

2.2.1.6.1.6 Conventional line item: A line item listed directly from an RSMeans Cost Data Guide(s).

2.2.1.6.2 RSMeans trades line item. These are the bare cost hourly rates found in the back of the annually published RSMeans hardback books.

2.2.1.6.3 Selective demolition line item: The removal of material with no concern for its replacement. If a line item can be found in the UPB for selective demolition, that line item will be used. If there is no line item for selective demolition, the Contractor will locate the line item in the UPB. Then the Contractor will create an alternate pre-priced line item removing the cost for the material and equipment, and the remaining labor amount will be multiplied by 50%. This will be used as the means to demolish that item. This line item will be pre-priced. If the line item cannot be found in the UPB, the demolition will be an NPI.

2.2.1.6.4 Removal and replacement line item: An item that is to be removed and then replaced without damaging the item. If a line item can be found in the UPB for removal and replacement, that line item will be used. If there is no line item for removal and replacement, the Contractor will locate the line item in the UPB. Then the Contractor will create an alternate pre-priced line item removing the cost for the material and equipment, and the remaining labor amount will be multiplied by 150%. This will be used as the means to demolish that item. This line item will be pre-priced. If the line item cannot be found in the UPB, the demolition will be an NPI.

2.2.1.6.5 Average line item: An item that is created by using a minimum and maximum line item. If an average line item can be found in the UPB, that line item will be used. If there is no line item for an average, but there is a line item for minimum and maximum and the average line item is applicable the Contractor will locate the two line items, the minimum and the maximum in the UPB. Then the Contractor will create an alternate pre-priced line item using the average total cost of the two line items. This will be used as a means to create an average line item when none exists. This line item will be pre-priced. If the minimum and maximum line item cannot be found in the UPB, the average line item will be an NPI.

2.2.1.6.6 Government Furnished Materials (GFM): On occasion, the Government may choose to supply the Contractor with materials to accomplish project requirements. If this occurs, the line item prices for labor and equipment only will be used. They are considered as pre-priced. The Contractor will not adjust the labor and equipment pricing. The materials are to be cared for by the Contractor, and excess materials are to be returned to the government.

2.2.1.6.7 All prices in the UPB are for completed and in-place construction unless explicitly described otherwise. Incidental fasteners, such as, nails, screws, bolts, weldments, connectors, and adhesives are included in the bare material cost. Unless specifically omitted in the UPB line item description, testing, adjusting, balancing, and start-up of installed equipment is included in the unit price line number cost found in the UPB. Line items are for end finishes. For example, the line item price for concrete broom finish included all finishes necessary to result in the broom finish.

2.2.1.6.8 The UPB prices certain line items with a “Minimum labor/equipment charge.” This minimum charge is often the price a tradesman would charge to make a special visit to perform that work. If the Contractor is already on-site and the minimum is met, then this item shall not be used as an adjustment to the Unit Price line items.

2.2.1.6.9 All line item prices assume the installation of the material under normal working conditions. This includes working from scaffolding when appropriate. In other words, the productivity for brick veneer is based upon working not only from the ground, but also from working on scaffolding. Therefore unless the division has specific height exceptions, no allowance or change to the unit price is required for working at different heights. The cost to rent and erect the scaffolding is required. All scaffolding line items are based upon a one month rental of the scaffolding. Scaffolding is measured by the square foot of face area where the work is being performed (working height in feet multiplied by the length of the wall in feet) or, in the case of when scaffolding must be erected inside a structure in order to access the ceiling, by the cubic feet (volume) of the actual scaffolding components. Scaffolding is priced separately. There are line items for the material costs and line items for erection/dismantling. It is not appropriate to use the scaffolding line items separately for each subcontractor. Scaffolding should be applied to the job cost once, and the subcontractors are “allowed” to use it.

2.2.1.6.10 Line items for mobilization and demobilization are for one or the other unless noted otherwise. Normally, a piece of equipment will need to be mobilized and demobilized. Therefore, the line item would normally be included twice per piece of equipment used. Small equipment placed in rear of truck or towed by a pickup truck is limited to those items included in the RSMeans crews.

2.2.1.7 Price Determination:

2.2.1.7.1 The RSMeans UPB and the approved compatible estimating software shall be utilized for all applicable pricing for task orders. RSMeans Facilities Construction Cost Data is the UPB for task orders and it shall be the sole source of pre-priced costs.

2.2.1.7.2 Pre-priced Line Items: Bare cost line items from the RSMeans UPB shall be compiled as described below, and the appropriate CCI shall be applied. These results shall then be summated, and the appropriate coefficient applied to the total. This is the pre-priced line item total.

2.2.1.7..2.1 The CCI for task orders at Fort Hunter Liggett shall use the most current quarterly published Weighted Average CCI for Fresno, CA

2.2.1.7.2.2 The conventional line items shall be summated per division and multiplied by the most current quarterly published Weighted Average CCI for Fresno, CA.

2.2.1.7.2.3 The RSMeans trades, selective demolition, removal and replacement, average, and GFM line items shall be summated and multiplied by the most current quarterly published Total Weighted Average CCI for Fresno, CA.

2.2.1.7.3 Non-Pre-Priced Line Items: The non-pre-priced line items shall be summated and the appropriate coefficient applied. This is the non-pre-priced line item total.

2.2.1.7.3.1 Non-Pre-Priced Unit Price Guides:

2.2.1.7.3.1.1 Line items not covered in the pre-priced RSMeans UPB, but within the scope and general intent of the contract and necessary to complete the requirements of a specific task order may be negotiated and incorporated into the task order by the Contracting Officer. These non-pre-priced line items (NPP) shall only be allowed if the Government deems that an appropriate line item is not provided by the pre-priced RSMeans UPB.

2.2.1.7.3.1.2 To permit recurrent use, a non-pre-priced line item shall be incorporated by supplemental agreement into the non-pre-priced UPB. This may be done at any time during the contract period.

2.2.1.7.3.1.3 All non-pre-priced line items shall be submitted with three independent price quotes including line item number, description, material, labor, and equipment breakdowns. List the supplier names and telephone numbers for each non-pre-priced item. Do not apply any type of markup to these line items.

2.2.1.7.4 Final Project Price: The summation of the pre-priced and non-pre-priced line item totals shall result in the final project price.

2.2.1.7.5 Cost Estimate Organization: Cost Estimates shall be comprised of three sections: 1) Division Summary, 2) Totaling Components and 3) Line Item Estimate.

2.2.1.7.5.1 Division Summary shall include the RSMeans pre-priced divisions, Trades, Assemblies and Alternates (both pre-priced and non-pre-priced). These items shall make up the Bare Total. Do not apply CCI or any type of markup to these line items.

2.2.1.7.5.2 Totaling Components, Totaling components shall be setup to use the applicable CCI and Contractor coefficients.

2.2.1.7.5.3 Line Item Estimate shall include all of the estimate line items. The report shall include a sequential line item number, full RSMeans UPB item number, unit of measure, quantity, bare unit cost, and total amount (quantity multiplied by bare unit cost). The report shall print: pre-priced line items by division for all RSMeans pre-priced line items found in the UPB, with division breaks and division subtotals, and a listing of the Trades, Assemblies and Alternates, both pre-priced and non-pre-priced. The contractor shall first attempt to price all work using the computerized UPB database(s). If an item is not included in this database, the contractor shall then extend his search to the various hard copy RS Means pricing guides as appropriate before considering the item to be Non-Prepriced (NPP). Should items be located in the hardcopy cost data books, those items as applicable shall be manually entered into the estimate and considered pre-priced for application of pre-priced coefficients.

2.2.1.7.5.3.1 Non-Prepriced Work shall not exceed 10% of the total Task Order pre-priced amount without prior explicit approval of the Contracting Officer. Items of work not covered by this contract but within its scope and general intent may be negotiated by the Contracting Officer or designated representative at any time during the contract term. Non-Prepriced work shall be manually entered into the estimate and noted on the contractor’s proposal as non-pre-priced, and shall include all direct and indirect costs. The contractor’s pre-priced coefficients shall not be applied to Non-Prepriced items. The contractor shall list the supplier names and telephone numbers for each non-pre-priced item. Do not apply any type of markup to these line items.

2.1.1.8 Cost Coefficient. The Contractor’s coefficient factor is a numerical factor that represents costs (generally indirect) not included as part of the R. S. MEANS Cost Data Books Bare Costs. The coefficient factor must include, but is not limited to the items listed below:

Within 14 calendar days of contract award, the contractor shall acquire cost data and associated software trial version meeting these criteria and submit them to the Government for approval prior to purchasing.

2.2.3 The Technical Specifications to be utilized under this contract for the purpose of specifying construction for military facilities shall be identified within the scope of work for each task order. Specifications may consist of any one, or combination of the following:

· Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS).

These specifications may be accessed on the Internet at http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_cat.php?c=3. The UFGS may be read on line in PDF format (Adobe Acrobat Reader, required –download at http:// www.adobe.com), or down-loaded for future reference. Some downloaded files will require use of SpecsIntact software for reading (down-load at http://www.wbdg.org/tools/specsintact.php). These Specifications are numbered and organized by the Construction Specification Institute's (CSI) Master Format. The Contractor shall note however, that there is not necessarily a direct correlation between a particular specification number and a particular UFGS number (e.g., UFGS 26 60 13 40 Low-Voltage Motors, and UPB Section 26 71 13.20 Motors), so the content of each applicable specification and UPB section will be reviewed for logical and reasonable applicability. These specifications may be further supplemented by the Government on a project-by-project basis as required with industry specifications, and result in no additional cost to the Government, provided that in the Government’s view the supplemental specification supports, and does not conflict with or clearly exceed the work described in the applicable UPB line item(s).

· Fort Hunter Liggett Technical Specifications.

These specifications are generally abridged versions of more detailed guide specifications, and reflect typical construction requirements. These specifications will be utilized when other specifications are not called out in the order scope of work.

· Industrial / Commercial Specifications.

Specifications written by standards organizations (ASTM, ISO, CEN,, etc.), trade associations, corporations, or others to define an explicit set of requirements to be satisfied by a specific material, design, product, or service may be used in the absence of applicable UFGS or Gordian specifications. However, installation of all products and equipment shall conform to the specific product/equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

2.2.3.1These Specifications are numbered and organized by the Construction Specification Institute's (CSI) Master Format. The Contractor shall note however that there is not necessarily a direct correlation between a particular specification number and a particular UPB Section number (e.g., UFGS 26 60 13 Low-Voltage Motors, and UPB Section 26 71 13 Motors), so the content of each applicable specification and UPB section will be reviewed for logical and reasonable applicability. These specifications may be further supplemented by the Government on a project-by-project basis as required with industry specifications, and result in no additional cost to the Government, provided that in the Government’s view the supplemental specification supports and does not conflict with or clearly exceed the work described in the applicable UPB line item(s).

Nevertheless, as the UPB is constructed from averaging cost data from projects nationally, there is considerable variance in what incidental options/accessories which were provided by equipment manufacturers and incorporated into the costs; as such, the Government reserves the right to require these incidental options and/or accessories, without additional cost except where the required items are spelled out as a modifier within the UPB.

2.2.3.2 The purpose of specifications is to furnish concise standards for work and/or materials used in the maintenance and repair, or construction of Government facilities. The specifications will be used to define and enforce minimum requirements during the construction phase of each order.

2.3 Contract Administration and Management.

2.3.1 Post Award Conference/Periodic Progress Meetings. The Contractor agrees to attend any Post award conference convened by the contracting activity or contract administration. The KO and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) shall meet periodically with the Contractor to review the Contractor's performance. At these meetings the KO will apprise the Contractor of how the Government views the Contractor's performance and the Contractor will apprise the Government of problems, if any, being experienced. Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve outstanding issues.

2.3.2 Quality Control. The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control process to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure against recurrence of defective services.

2.3.3 The Quality Control Plan (QCP) shall be presented to the Government in an acceptable digital format (i.e.; PDF, Word), no later than ten (10) calendar days after contract award, and no later than five (5) calendar days after any changes assure the requirements of this contract are provided as specified).

2.3.4 Government POC.

2.3.4.1 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR): The COR will be identified by separate letter. The COR monitors all technical aspects of the contract and assists in contract administration The COR is authorized to perform the following functions: Assure that the Contractor performs the technical requirements of the contract; perform inspections necessary in connection with contract performance; maintain written and oral communications with the Contractor concerning technical aspects of the contract; issue written interpretations of technical requirements, including Government drawings, designs, and specifications; monitor Contractor's performance and notifies both the KO and Contractor of any deficiencies; coordinate availability of Government furnished property, and provide site entry of Contractor personnel. A letter of designation issued to the COR, a copy of which is sent to the Contractor, states the responsibilities and limitations of the COR, especially with regard to changes in cost or price, estimates or changes in delivery dates. The COR is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the resulting contract.

2.3.5 Contractor Personnel/Supervision Requirements.

2.3.5.1 Identification of Key Personnel to the Government. Notice of key personnel designations with qualifications and references shall be provided to the Contracting Officer for approval 10 calendar days prior to contract start date and updated as changes occur. Qualifications of key personnel will be gauged against qualification standards ultimately accepted as part of the best and final offer for this contract. Key personnel include: Contract Supervisor, QC Manager, design personnel, and project management personnel. The Government has the right to reject the Contractor’s choice of individual personnel for failure to meet the qualification standards incorporated into the contract. This procedure shall be repeated anytime the Contractor replaces any member of his key staff.

2.3.5.2 Contract Supervisor. The Contractor shall appoint an overall contract supervisor (CS) dedicated to this contract. The contract supervisor shall provide overall onsite daily management and coordination of all contractor operations, and shall be the central point of contact (POC) with the Government for performance of all work under this contract. The contract supervisor and any individual(s) designated to act for him shall have full authority to contractually commit the Contractor for prompt action on all matters pertaining to the Contractor's administration of the contract. Individual(s) shall be designated by letter to act for the contract supervisor when work is being performed at hours other than normal duty hours or during the contract supervisor's absence. As a minimum, the CS shall possess a minimum of five years’ experience in a similar building construction supervisory position, such as an overall contract supervisor for a JOC, task order contract (TOC), simplified acquisition of base engineering requirements (SABER), and/or other large multi-discipline, multi-task IDIQ contract. The contract supervisor (CS) shall be available between 7:00 a.m. to 16:30p.m., Monday through Friday except Federal holidays or when the Government facility is closed for administrative reasons.

2.3.5.3 Technical/Project Management Staff. The Contractor shall maintain sufficient technical design and project management personnel to perform the scope of the required work and to respond to the Government’s requirements within the times specified for multiple, concurrent actions which will require simultaneous execution.
