c. ORDERING OFFICIAL/OFFICER:

a. There will be a designated Ordering Official under this contract, authorized to make purchases up to their designated authority of $25,000.00, per single known requirement, against this JOC contract, as along as non-pre-priced work does not exceed 10% of the pre-priced work, and no more than $2,500.00 total.

Projects under this threshold will not be issued on an individual task order FORM 1155, however, all requirements of the contract award, and all policies and procedures will be applicable to projects ordered by the designated official.

Contractor will still be required to fulfill a joint scoping with the government, and prices/specification for the project will still require negotiation and agreement/approval by the ordering official.

Projects awarded through the ordering official may count toward fulfillment of the minimum guarantee amounts. If in the event that not enough projects are processed under the minimum guarantee task order as described elsewhere in this solicitation and resultant contract, then the Government reserves the right to use any or all project amounts processed through the Ordering Officer to count toward the fulfillment of the required minimum guarantee.

The ordering officials will administer and be the main POC for all orders placed under their authority. The names and contact information for these individuals will be included in the resultant contract.

b. The following describes the procedures to be used for ordering items under this contract by using the Federal Government-wide purchase card. This option to order by use of the Government-wide purchase card is strictly an alternative method of ordering by the Government and may be used in place of ordering by other order forms that comply with FAR 12.204. The Government reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the use of the credit card at any time.

(1) All ordering officers may use the Government-wide purchase card, commonly referred to as the Government "credit card," as an alternative method of ordering and paying for purchases made under this contract. Purchase card orders are subject to all terms and conditions of this contract, unless otherwise stated in this provision or another provision in this contract.

(2) The purchase card is specifically designed for use by the Federal Government. The purchase card is like a typical commercial credit card. However, the authorization limitations of the purchase card are more specific, i.e., only for a particular contract, monthly limitations, certain categories of products or services, etc. The purchase card will be exclusively used for official Government purchases in accordance with the prices, terms, and conditions of this contract. The purchase card order limitation shall be $25,000. With respect to ordering authority, only designated Ordering Officers may use the purchase card as a means of purchasing items on this contract.

(3) Credit limits for the purchase card for ordering officers is $25,000. These credit limits for the purchase card are the responsibility of the credit card holder and the approving office.

(4) The contractor shall accept payment via credit card for projects authorized by the ordering officers and that have followed the required policies and procedures within this solicitation and resultant contract.

(5) Invoices for orders placed by the ordering officer will be submitted directly to the ordering officer, and progress payments will still be authorized if applicable, the same as would be authorized for Task Order issued on the Form 1155.

(6) When using the purchase card as the payment method, the contractor is required to generate a receiving report in Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF), and the Government acceptor is required to accept the receiving report in WAWF. These reports are mandatory in order to ensure compliance with the Prompt Payment Act requirements for written acceptance. Use of WAWF to create and accept receiving reports is mandatory when the GPC is used as a method of payment against a contract. In order to ensure proper routing of contract transactions paid with the GPC, use the code "CRCARD" in the Pay Official/DoDAAC field. The contractor is required to generate a receiving report in WAWF, and the Government acceptor is required to accept the receiving report in WAWF. The Cardholder is required to verify that acceptance has occurred in WAWF prior to submitting the invoice to the Certifying Official for certification.

A Pre Bid Conference Reg

EVALUATION OF BIDS

This requirement for the modernization, repair, restoration and sustainment of the 88th Reserve properties throughout the Buckeye (Ohio) area shall be awarded utilizing Sealed Bidding Procedures in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 14, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). Award will be made with reasonable promptness to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid in accordance with requirements and provisions herein.

The Government will evaluate proposed price coefficients for balanced and reasonable pricing, using price analysis techniques. Proposed prices evaluated as unreasonable or unbalanced may be ground for eliminating the bid from award eligibility.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government will evaluate bids received in response to this solicitation solely on the basis of price and price related factors.

a. RESPONSIVENESS OF BID. For a bid to be determined responsive and considered for award, the bid must comply in all material respects with the invitation for bids. Such compliance enables bidders to stand on an equal footing, and maintain integrity of the sealed bidding system (Subpart 14.301).

In order to be considered responsive the Bidder:

· Shall be currently registered in SAM, https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/

· Shall submit a complete sealed bid package prior to the cutoff for receipt of bids, Properly signed bid, with Original Signature

· Acknowledgement of all Amendments (if any),

· Fully completed Technical Exhibit (TE) 2, TE-2 Coefficient Spreadsheet.

· Shall not qualify the terms and conditions of the solicitation in the submitted bid

· Shall comply with the instructions of the solicitation.

· A Bid Guarantee is required and shall be provided in the amount of twenty percent (20%) of the estimated annual maximum contract value for the base year of $2,000,000. (Bidders must use the Standard Form (SF) 24 if providing a bid bond as the bid guarantee).

Non-Responsive bids will not be considered for contract award.

b. PRICE EVALUATION. Price coefficients will be evaluated to determine if they are reasonable, complete and balanced. The price analysis techniques in 15.404-1 (b) may be used as guidelines as per guidance provided in Subpart 14.408-2. If adequate price competition is not obtained or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using price analysis of Government obtained information, additional information may be required from the bidder to support the proposed price.

The government will not evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) as part of the price evaluation. This option is only intended to extend the ordering period for any quantities not used, not add additional quantity and will be evaluated based on the period of performance. Offerors are required only to price the base and option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six month extension of services period (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period, utilizing the rates of that performance period.

Should the need for additional quantities arise the Government may exercise it its right to increase quantities in accordance with 52.217-6 (see 700 section). The schedule being used at the time of exercising of the option will dictate the coefficient to be used under this clause.

1. Total Evaluated Price: The total evaluated price will be a single numeric value, not to exceed 2 decimal places, calculated by the Government, that represents a single coefficient value which will be the value used to determine the lowest price and apparent winning bid. The steps and formulas utilized to calculate the Total Price are as follows:

a. Contractor fully completes the TE-2 required information, all values are not to exceed 2 decimal places. (Required fields Highlighted within TE-2 document).

b. TE-2 Document will automatically calculate all other required figures utilizing the following formulas:

Weighted Average = (.90)(Average of all PP Coefficients*) + (.10)(Average of all NPP Indirect Cost)

*NOTE: The averages used in the Weighted Average Formula are also automatically calculated, and take into consideration the number of facilities covered under this contract.

Offeror's Total Price = (Weighted Average)

Option to Increase Quantities Value = (30%)*(Weighted Average)

Total Evaluated Price = (Weighted Average) + (Option to Increase Quantities Value)

ii. Balanced Pricing: Offerors are cautioned against submitting a bid that contains unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items (including Base and Option Years) is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. Offers that are determined to be unbalanced may be rejected if the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

iii. Definitions:

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.

Completeness/Accuracy. The offeror’s bid is in compliance with the Price instructions in the solicitation.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

BID PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

The following instructions prescribe the format for the bid and describe the approach for the development and presentation of bid data. These instructions are designed to ensure the submission of necessary information to provide for the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of bids.
