1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This is a competitive best value trade-off solicitation for the construction of the building 9201 AFLCMC- WAG group facility located at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The existing building was constructed in approximately 1999 and originally served as a General Motors paint facility. After sitting vacant for approximately fifteen years, the government intends renovate a portion of the building into an ICD-705 Compliant facility for the Air Force’s LCMC, WAG group.

The existing three-story building is approximately 875,000 gross square feet; however, the WAG LCMC facility will only occupy approximately 37,000 square feet and is limited to a portion of the ground floor. The LCMC WAG facility is made up of secure, semi-secure and unsecure areas. The project scope of work for the secure areas are primarily private and open office spaces, mantrap, storage, security office, breakout rooms, electrical room, conference rooms, server rooms, and a copier/shredder/disintegrator support space, and IT-related activities. The project scope of work for the semi-secure areas includes a visitor’s control, corridors, breakroom, unclassified work area, IT equipment build area, training room, and restrooms. The project scope of work for the unsecured areas includes facility entrances, entrance lobby, and corridors to the south.

The project also includes the construction of all associated mechanical, electrical, communications, fire protection, etc. to make this a complete and useable facility. In addition to meeting the program, security, and acoustic requirements for the project, making repairs and modifications to the existing building shall be undertaken. Following decommissioning of the automotive assembly plant, a certain amount of material salvage occurred. However, a significant amount of demolition and deconstruction of existing materials, equipment, and framing remains. This includes but is not limited to the paint booths and support framing located on the 2nd-floor areas, car lifts, substantial manufacturing-specific steel apparatuses, and a variety of smaller non-structural items specific to the auto assembly plant. Although the scope of new construction is limited to a portion of the first floor, the demolition scope shall include equipment above the first floor, from column lines 17 to 22; see Drawings for specific areas for demolition. There are multiple locations where large openings in the floors shall require infill. There are several locations where small curbs, uneven floors, and protruding bolts can be found on the existing floor. The existing curbs, bolts, uneven locations in the slabs shall be scraped, ground, infilled, patched, and leveled to a condition suitable for new flooring materials. In general, all existing materials which are not part of the structural frame, exterior envelope, exit stairs, or are not otherwise noted to be retained or reused, shall be demolished.

1.0 OVERVIEW

This is a competitive best value trade off solicitation for the construction project entitled AFLCMC, WAG Group Facility, B9201 located at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and award a firm fixed price contract to the responsible firm whose proposal conforms to all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government.

The selected contractor shall construct the project in accordance with the plans and specifications.

1.1 WHO CAN SUBMIT:

1.1.1 Firms formally organized as construction contractors, firms associated specifically for this project, consortia of firms, or any other interested parties may submit proposals. Associations may be as joint ventures or as key team subcontractors.

1.1.2 Organization Conflicts of Interest (OCI) Disclosure: The Offeror shall provide a disclosure statement with its proposal which concisely describes all the relevant facts concerning past or present organizational conflicts of interest relating to work on this project. In the same statement, and if applicable, the Offeror shall provide information to assure the Government that the conflicts of interest have been mitigated and/or neutralized to the maximum extent possible. If a conflict of interest is discovered after award of this contract, the Contracting Office will decide whether to terminate the contract.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer intends to award a firm fixed-price contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority determines conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering all non-price factors described herein, and price. All technical factors are significantly more important than price. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best proposal for the required work. 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 if the proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. The Government reserves the right to reject any offer if the offer is not in the best interest of the Government.

Ensure that the outside of each separate volume is clearly marked to indicate its contents and the identity of the Offeror. Additionally, clearly identify the “original” price proposal and the “original” technical proposal on the outside cover.

3.1.2 The price proposal and the technical proposal must be received by the closing date and time set for receipt of proposals.

3.1.3 No dollar amounts from the price proposal are to be included in the technical proposal.

3.1.5 Deviations and exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation are not allowed.

Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the proposal may be deemed “unacceptable” and thus ineligible for award.

Any questions related to specific terms and conditions of the solicitation must be resolved prior to submission of the proposal. If the Offeror must make any assumptions prior to submitting the proposal, the Offeror shall list and describe in detail the assumptions on the first page of each tab. All assumptions shall be fully supported with the offeror’s rationale and shall fully explain the impact, if any, on the performance and/or specific requirement of the RFP. The offeror shall clearly describe on the proposal cover sheet submitted with the price proposal any assumptions made concerning contractual and/or technical terms and include the monetary impact on the solicitation with the price proposal. This information will not be evaluated separately but may impact the evaluation of other factors.

3.2 DISCUSSIONS

The Government does not intend to enter into discussions with offerors prior to making an award. Offerors are encouraged to present their best technical proposal and prices in their initial proposal submission. However, in accordance with FAR Part 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to hold them.
