Provide the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Administration (OA), Facilities Management and Engineering (FM&E) Directorate, Field Operations Facilities Program Management Office (FOFPMO) with construction support to repair and revise the domestic water systems at the CBP LPOE locations identified below. This work will involve separating and handling domestic and fire protection systems individually to protect the integrity of the domestic water system for potable use. This work will entail re-routing the domestic water piping away from, and around, the fire protection cistern. The ultimate goal is to achieve domestic water quality that will meet both primary and secondary drinking water regulations. Some LPOEs may also require inspection of and adjustment or replacement of water treatment systems; construction of new wells; and freeze-proofing existing supply systems.

Construction shall add or incorporate the necessary water treatment equipment to produce high quality water that is clear in vision, does not smell of any pungent odor and has a pleasant taste.

All water treatment, handling and storage designs must achieve water test results that pass both primary and secondary drinking water regulations, for all domestic water used in the facilities.

Water treatment system performance, confirmed by water quality testing results, must be clearly defined in the design specifications as a condition of acceptance of the Construction Contractor’s work.

The requirement is to treat the entire domestic system at each LPOE. The water at each location shall be treated at the source and not at the point of use (i.e. simply treated at the break room sinks). The goal is to provide full confidence in the use of the source water as a whole by the LPOE Officers, Port Directors and all the visitors in all aspects of each facility, including the public restrooms.

1.0 OVERVIEW

1.1. The Fort Worth District intends to award a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) with a target of four (4) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide Repair and Alterations (RA) services of Land Ports of Entry (LPOE) in of the support the Department of Homeland Security’s LPOE RA program. The estimated maximum task order limitation is $5,000,000 with a minimum task order limitation of $2,000.

1.2. In Phase 1 of the 2 phase design build selection procedures, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as “Offerors”) shall submit specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute a wide variety of multidisciplinary services required for preparation of, but not limited to, renovation, repairs, preventive maintenance, environmental abatement, and erosion control, earthwork and operations construction activities; restoration of roads, parking lots, bridges, fences, gates, equipment and fixtures, as applicable under these MATOCs. The contracts are not only intended to execute design-build construction and design-bid-build, but to provide a timely response to remediation of 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 Government will evaluate the qualifications in accordance with the criteria described herein to select the most responsible offerors to compete in Phase 2.

1.3. In phase 2, the selected Phase 2 Offerors will submit proposals for evaluation in accordance with Section 00 22 20. In Phase 2, the Contracting Officer will award a MATOC with a target of four (4) firm fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts. Award will be fair and reasonable with regard to pricing for the initial task order, and whose proposals offer the best overall value to the Government, considering the price and non-price factors described herein.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD (MATOC)

2.1. The Contracting Officer will award a target of four (4) firm fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts to the responsible Offerors whose proposals the Source Selection Authority determines conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable with regard to pricing for the initial task order, and whose proposals offer the best overall value to the Government, considering the price and non-price factors described herein. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are considered significantly more important than the price; however the initial Task Order award may not exceed the cost limitation described in Section 00 73 10, which will be provided during Phase 2 for the seed project. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best value proposal within the contract cost limitation for the initial task order. There is no obligation to approach or match the contract cost limitation in the offer. Innovations in proposals will be evaluated to determine if creative ideas of the Offeror are a better value to the Government compared to the minimum criteria.

After the Government evaluates and rates each proposal, the SSEB prepares the comparative analysis to determine best value and make a recommendation to the SSA which proposals represent the best value for award.

2.2. First Award and Seed Project. Award of the first IDIQ will be made to the Offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the best overall value to the Government based on the evaluated ratings and the proposed price for the initial task order. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. 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(s), the SSA must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal for the initial task order would justify award to that Offeror.

When the SSA determines that the best value proposal is other than the lowest-priced proposal, the document must explicitly justify paying a price premium regardless of the superiority of the proposal's non-cost rating. The justification must clearly state what benefits or advantages the Government is receiving for the added price and why it is in the Government's interest to expend the additional funds. This justification is required even when the solicitation indicates that non-cost factors are more important than cost/price. Likewise, where the SSA determines the non-cost benefits offered by the higher-priced, technically superior proposal are not worth the price premium as compared to the other offeror(s), an explicit justification also is necessary. The Offeror receiving the first award will receive the task order for the seed project with the award of the basic IDIQ.

2.3. Subsequent Awards and Minimum Guarantee Task Orders. Award of the subsequent IDIQ contracts will be made to the Offeror(s) whose proposal(s) is (are) considered to represent the a target of three (3) next best value(s) to the Government based on the evaluated ratings and the proposed price for the seed project; with a target of four (4) total IDIQ awards. The price proposed under Phase 2 will be used to assist in the evaluation of the best value proposals for award of an IDIQ.
