1. CONTRACT DEFINITION

The contract awarded under this solicitation will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ), Multiple Award Task Order (MATOC) contract for Environmental Remediation Services (ERS) under NAICS Code 562910, in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Northwestern Division (NWD) Area of Responsibility (AOR) and its approved customers. However, contract capacity may be transferred with other USACE Districts where the principles of the ER-1-10 and Project Management Business Process have been met. Task orders will be issued as the need arises during the ordering period. The contract will include both cost reimbursement and Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) task orders for Environmental Remediation Services as identified in Section C.

The contract is required to be registered under NAICS code 562910 in the System for Award Management (SAM) located at https://www.sam.gov

2. TOTAL AMOUNT OF CONTRACT

The total amount of contract capacity under this solicitation is estimated at $249 Million. There is no limit on the number of task orders that may be executed against this MATOC.

3. MINIMUM GUARANTEE

The minimum guarantee for the contracts is $2,500. A task order will be issued under each contract under the MATOC to meet the requirements of the minimum guarantee. If the cumulative value of any additional task orders issued to the contractor exceeds the minimum guarantee, the minimum guarantee task order will be de-obligated and closed at no additional cost or liability to either party.

4. ORDERING PERIOD

The contract will have a base ordering period of five (5) years with a two (2) year optional ordering period or until the $249M contract capacity is expended, whichever occurs first. The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Clause 52.217-8, “Option to Extend Service” will be incorporated into the contract and may be exercised at the discretion of the Government. This allows the Government to extend the term of the Contract an additional six (6) months.

5. Firm Fixed Pricing Task Orders

5.1 Maximum Binding Hourly Labor Rates

The Offeror shall provide Maximum Binding Hourly Labor Rates for the labor disciplines listed in Table 1, “Maximum Binding Hourly Labor Rate Schedule.”

5.1.2 The rates proposed in the Maximum Binding Labor Rate Schedule are binding upon contract award for the life of the MATOC, to include all option periods and extensions. These rates are applicable to both task orders and modifications.

5.1.3 Labor rates used in task order proposals shall not exceed the maximum hourly labor rates proposed by the Offeror for those disciplines in Table 1.

5.1.4 The Maximum Binding Hourly Labor rates for all years shall be fully-burdened labor rates, including all applied direct and indirect costs, for example, direct labor costs, payroll taxes, insurance, benefits, applied OH, applied G&A, and any applied indirect costs, but shall not include profit, with this exception: Year 1 requires the Offeror to provide both burdened and unburdened rates. The unburdened rates shall exclude profit and indirect costs, for example, payroll taxes, insurance, benefits, applied OH, applied G&A, and any applied indirect costs.

5.1.5 If a discipline is not listed in the contract rate pricing schedule and is required for the contractor to perform a specific task order, the contractor may propose the required labor category and provide the direct and indirect costs which formulate the fully burdened labor rate (exclusive of profit) in the proposal submitted in response to the issued Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP). The Government will review the proposed fully burdened labor rate to https://www.sam.gov/ determine whether the rate is considered fair and reasonable and may negotiate the proposed rate if it is not considered fair and reasonable.

5.1.6 If, during the Contract Period of Performance, any of the Offeror’s Government approved personnel (prime or subcontracted) are no longer available, the Offeror shall replace these individuals with personnel whom, at a minimum, have the same qualifications as the personnel being replaced. The Contractor shall submit the replacement personnel’s qualifications to the Contracting Officer for approval. The replacement personnel labor rates shall not exceed the rates provided in Table 1, which are the maximum rates the Government will pay for any labor discipline.

5.1.7 The applicable maximum labor rates shall be governed by the effective date of the Task Order. Task Orders will use the costs/prices for the 12-month period effective on the date the Task Order is issued. Modifications to Task Orders will reflect the rates of the “current 12-month” maximum binding labor rate schedule. For example, if the rate schedule changes over on 1 November of each year, and a Task Order is issue on 1 September 2024 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 November 2023. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to the Task Order is required in December 2023, the labor rates effective on 1 November 2023 will apply.

5.1.8 The Offeror has the responsibility to provide labor rates that comply with all potential Service Contract Act wage determinations and/or Davis Bacon wage decisions for each labor discipline subject to those wage determinations/wage decisions. If, during the performance of the contract, the Service Contract Act and/or Davis Bacon wage determination exceed the maximum proposed wage on the base contract, the wage determination takes precedence and will be determined fair and reasonable at the task order level. The Government will provide the applicable wage determination(s) for the specific geographic location of the task orders in the RTOP.

5.1.9 Provide one (1) rate per labor discipline, regardless of whether the individuals employed for that discipline are directly employed or subcontracted.

5.1.10 The proposal shall include the formula/calculation used to establish the burdened labor rates included in Table 1 as Other than Certified Cost/Price Data.

5.1.11 The Offeror shall include unburdened labor rates for Year 1 proposed in Section B, Table 1 submission.

These rates are discussed in Paragraph 5.3.1 of Section L of the solicitation. The submitted unburdened rate shall be used in the formula provided by the Offeror to establish the maximum burdened hourly labor rate. The unburdened labor rate may be used for cost/price analysis purposes. The unburdened rate is not a binding rate for FFP action.

The unburdened rates will not be included in Table 1 of any awarded contract.

Section B – TABLE 3: MAXIMUM BINDING PROFIT RATE

6. Cost Reimbursable Task Orders

The contractor shall have the ability to support cost reimbursement task orders (for example, an adequate cost accounting system for determining costs applicable to the contract order and an acceptable purchasing system). The Government reserves the right to request a Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audit prior to or after contract award. Additionally, each cost reimbursable task order issued will be subject to DCAA Audit.

The contractor shall be reimbursed for all allocable, allowable and reasonable costs in accordance with FAR Part 31 up to the "estimated" cost for work specified in the task order scope of work. The Government will not reimburse the contractor for preparation and negotiation of task orders.

6.1. Accounting System

The contractor’s accounting system shall be in compliance with Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) [large business firms only] and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The indirect cost/price rate(s) applied under this contract shall be compliant with FAR Part 31.

6.2. Fixed Fee

Section B - TABLE 4: MAXIMUM BINDING FIXED FEE RATE

7. Maximum Rates for Firm Fixed and Cost Reimbursable Task Orders

The Maximum Binding Indirect Rate(s) listed in Table 5 represent the firm’s maximum binding indirect cost recovery rate(s) that may be applied to the identified application base(s) that the Contractor may use when responding to a RTOP issued by the Government. These rates are applicable to both Firm Fixed Price and Cost Reimbursable contracts and shall also apply to all modifications. The Offeror may use lower rates in proposals, but not higher.

7.1 The Maximum Binding Indirect Rates listed in Table 5 shall be the firm’s maximum indirect cost recovery rate(s) that may be applied to the identified application base for the duration of the contract.

The Contractor should use the actual labor rate(s) paid to the employee(s) for each discipline with the applied Maximum Binding Indirect Rates for the appropriate base. A Contractor can propose lower indirect cost recovery rates for a specific task order; however, those proposed lower rates become the maximum rates for that specific task order. The proposed task order indirect rates will not be adjusted upward as a result of an audit of the contract or the specific task order. The Offeror may propose lower rates on individual task orders, in which case the lower rates shall be the maximum rate on the individual task order.

7.2 The Maximum Binding Indirect Rates for this contract shall be provided by the Offeror in Table 5. The maximum rates provided by the Offeror are the maximum rates upon contract award for the life of the MATOC, to include all option periods and extensions.
