SECTION L REVISION

1.0 General Information: This solicitation is identified as part of the Multiple Environmental Government Acquisition (MEGA) Strategy/Plan, a combined acquisition effort between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Northwestern Division (NWD), Southwestern Division (SWD), and South Pacific Division (SPD).

1.1. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Sacramento District, intends to conduct this acquisition by use of Competitive Source Selection Procedures in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Request for Proposal (RFP) and FAR Part 15 and DoD Source Selection Procedures, dated 04 March 2011. The Government intends to award five (5) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts as part of a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) pool for Environmental Remediation Services for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for use within SPD boundaries. , to the offerors submitting proposals determined to be most advantageous to the Government; price, and other factors considered. Task orders awarded under this MATOC may be firm fixed price or cost-reimbursement (CPFF, CPIF, or CPAF). The intent is to award five (5) contracts; however, if the Contracting Officer determines during the source selection process that fewer or more than that number of contracts should be awarded, the Contracting Officer has the discretion of adjusting that number (higher or lower), or awarding none at all. In any case, the Government may not award any contract if the resulting contract would not represent a "best value" to the Government using trade-off selection procedures as required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (DFARS). It is strongly suggested that the provisions stated in the proposal information be fully studied prior to assembly of the proposal.

1.2. There are no drawings associated with this Request for Proposal. Copies of the solicitation are available by INTERNET ACCESS ONLY.

1.4. The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition, the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

An emerging technology is an innovative technology that is currently undergoing bench-scale testing in which a small version of the technology is tested in a laboratory. An established technology is a technology for which cost and performance information is readily available.
