The following have been modified:

CAUTION PAGE

CAUTION!

BEFORE SIGNING AND MAILING THIS PROPOSAL, please take note of the following:

1. ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ADEQUACY: Offerors must have an adequate accounting system to receive a cost-reimbursable task order. All offerors shall provide a recent adequacy determination from either (1) a Federal Government Cognizant Audit Agency or (2) any commercially recognized auditing or accounting firm stating that the offeror's accounting system is adequate. The determination should include a completed Standard Form 1408 "Preaward Survey of Prospective Contractor Accounting System" signed in Blocks 3 and 4. To be considered recent, the determination should be no older than four years prior to the due date of proposals. The offeror must also confirm that the accounting system has not changed since the issuance of the determination. An offeror that does not have a recent accounting system adequacy determination should include with its proposal a completed "Preaward Survey of Prospective Contractor Accounting System Checklist"; a copy of the checklist is included in Section J, Attachment 7. The Contracting Officer will use this completed checklist to request a DCAA preaward survey of the offeror's accounting system.

2. EVMS: Offerors shall submit a comprehensive plan for compliance with the guidelines in ANSI/EIA-748.

If offerors have a recent compliance determination from either (1) a Federal Government Cognizant Audit Agency or (2) any commercially recognized auditing or accounting firm stating that the offeror's EVMS is compliant, the compliance determination may be submitted in lieu of the comprehensive plan outlined in Section L, paragraph 5.4. To be considered recent, the determination should be no older than four years prior to the due date of proposals.

3. AMENDMENTS: Have you acknowledged receipt of ALL Amendments? If in doubt as to number of amendments issued, please contact our office.

4. HAND-DELIVERED PROPOSALS: If proposals are hand-delivered, you must be aware of enhanced security requirements in effect in the Federal Building and allow for extra time to clear security.

SECTION B

1. Contract Definition

This Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) is a part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Multiple Environmental Government Acquisition (MEGA) Strategy.

This will be an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ), Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Pre-placed Remedial Action Contracts (PRACs) under NAICS Code 562910, in support of existing and future USACE customers of the Districts within the Northwestern Division of the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2. Firm fixed price and cost reimbursement Task Orders may be written against the ID/IQ contracts.

All Task Orders to be awarded under this MATOC will be competed in accordance with (IAW) FAR 16.505(b)(1), Fair Opportunity, unless one of the exceptions to fair opportunity at FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i) applies. Task Order selection will be tailored to specific project requirements and awarded IAW pre-established evaluation criteria.

The Government’s target is to award five (5) contracts under this solicitation; however, if the Contracting Officer determines during the source selection process that fewer or more than five (5) contracts should be awarded, based upon the selection criteria, the Source Selection Authority has the discretion of adjusting that number, or awarding none at all.

Please ensure this NAICS code 562910 is incorporated in your current Contract Registration at the System for Award Management (SAM) https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ Failure to have this NAICS code current in SAM may result in not being considered for the award.

***NOTE***

When contacting the SAM Help Desk with issues relating to registering for a CAGE Code, please DO NOT ask for CAGE Code help, instead ask for help with SAM Registration which will end in a better result and assistance with the SAM Help desk.

2. Eligibility

The contract will be awarded only to qualified offerors who are eligible.

3. Total Amount of Contract

The total amount of shared capacity among all Contractors awarded contracts under this solicitation shall not exceed $92.5 million. There is no limit of the number of Task Orders that may be executed against this contract. The cumulative total of all Task Orders issued under the MATOC shall not exceed the total contract capacity amount of $92.5 million.

4. Guaranteed Contract Amount

The minimum guarantee for the IDIQ is $2500. Task Order 0001 will be issued under each contract awarded as a result of this solicitation. The Task Order will satisfy the minimum guarantee of the contract terms and conditions.

Task Order 0001 will have a period of performance for 5 years. If additional Task Orders are awarded under the contract, Task Order 0001 will be de-obligated and closed at no additional cost or liability to either party.

5. Performance Period

Contracts will have a basic ordering period of three (3) years plus one two-year option period or until the $92.5 million contract limit is reached, whichever comes first. This Solicitation also includes FAR 52.217-8, which if necessary, allows the Government to extend the term of the Contract an additional six (6) months. The total length of the contract ordering period, including the exercise of all option periods, will not exceed five years and six months from date of contract award.

6. Pricing

6.1 Firm-fixed price (FFP) Task Orders.

FFP Task Orders will be for services performed at prices expressly provided for therein and based on the rates proposed by the offeror, but in no case shall they exceed the rates proposed in the tables below. Profit will be reflected in individual Task Orders issued. The hourly rates proposed for each firm-fixed price Task Order shall not exceed the hourly rates for labor disciplines proposed by the offeror in the “Hourly Labor Rates, Firm Fixed Price” table shown below, and the offeror’s proposed markups for the other direct costs in the tables below. All hourly rates shall include Overhead, General/Administrative, Labor Burden Fringes, and any other markups that are included in the offeror’s fully burdened rate. All hourly rates shall be exclusive of profit. If a discipline is not listed in the Hourly Labor Rates table and is required for a specific Task Order, that labor rate will be determined before award of that Task Order.

The offeror shall submit its proposed rates for all disciplines and years listed in Table 1 below. The rates proposed will be legally binding and will be the maximum rates that the offeror will use for all firm-fixed price Task Orders.

Lower rates may be offered at the Task Order level, if deemed appropriate by the offeror. Offerors shall provide one rate per labor discipline, including those provided by subcontractors. The offeror may not have all personnel on staff. Therefore, if those personnel are subcontracted, their rates shall be provided in the tables as well. The rates provided per labor discipline shall be fully burdened rates, exclusive of profit.

The offeror shall only provide the Overhead and G&A rates for the prime, even if the labor disciplines will be performed by the prime or a subcontractor, depending on the Task Order. The subcontractor would be subject to honoring the labor rates stated for the subject labor discipline.

NOTE: If during the Contract Period of Performance, the Contractor’s original subcontracted personnel are no longer available to the Prime, the Prime shall find a subcontractor that has at a minimum, the same qualifications as the previous subcontracted personnel. The Prime shall be responsible for negotiating with their subcontractor, the labor rates for those personnel that have been provided in this Solicitation. Those rates provided in Section B, Table 1 are the maximum that will be paid by the Government for any replacement personnel.

In Table 2 (Rates/Markups) below, offerors shall show the breakout of all rates and markups that are incorporated into the fully burdened rates proposed by the offeror in Table 1.

Maximum rates shall be governed by the date of the Task Order requirement. Task Orders will use the 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" bid schedule. For example, if the rate schedule changes over on 1 November of each year, and a Task Order is issued on 1 Sep 2018 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 Nov 2017. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to this Task Order is required in December 2018, labor rates effective on 1 Nov 2018 will apply.

Offerors are to submit their labor rates for each of the ordering periods.

Assume base year 1 labor rates cover period December 1, 2017 2016 through November 30, 2017.

For each labor discipline, please annotate whether the discipline provided is Prime or Subcontractor. If both Prime and Subcontractor will perform the work, indicate “Both” in column 2 and enter a single maximum rate.

Offerors are to provide an example of how mark-ups are applied to the labor rates Offerors are to provide only one table with one rate per discipline. Table 1 must be completely filled out.

If an Offeror is utilizing a subcontractor for a discipline, you must include subcontractor’s base rate in Table 1 and their mark-up breakdown in Table 2.

Joint Ventures must submit a single maximum rate in Table 1 for the JV.

If the cost for a discipline indicated above is included in an Offeror’s overhead rates as part of the Offeror’s standard accounting system, the Offeror shall enter an hourly rate of $1 and include an explanation below the table regarding how that discipline’s costs are accounted for under the Offeror’s standard accounting practices.

If the offeror has a different job title than the above-listed disciplines, the offeror shall add that job title to the job title in Table 1 above that most closely represents the offeror’s job title.

2. The rates/markups provided in Table 2 are a breakout of the rates/markups incorporated into the fully burdened rates proposed by the offeror in Table 1.

3. For any mark-up that is not considered as Overhead or G&A in accordance with your company’s standard accounting practice, please adjust the table to include all applicable markups. It the table is adjusted, the Offeror shall provide documentation that the mark-up is part of your company’s standard accounting practices (examples: computer usage fees, Facilities Capital Cost of Money).

6.2 Cost reimbursable type Task Orders

Cost reimbursable type Task Orders will be for allowable incurred costs for best effort on the part of the Contractor.

For cost reimbursement type Task Orders, the Contractor shall use DCAA/DCMA approved forward pricing rates, third party audited rates, or actual rates for individuals performing work if the offeror does not have DCAA/DCMA approved forward pricing rates or third party audited rates.

The Contractor shall have an accounting system that is in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), if applicable. In accordance with FAR 16.301-3, the Contractor’s accounting system must be determined adequate for tracking costs for cost reimbursable work.

Therefore, in order to be awarded a cost reimbursable Task Order under this contract the offeror must have an accounting system that is adequate for tracking costs under cost reimbursable contracts. See Section L, paragraph

4.4 for further details.

6.3 Profit/Fee on Firm Fixed Price and Cost Reimbursable Task Orders

Offerors shall propose a maximum profit rate (for firm fixed price work) and a maximum fixed fee rate (for cost reimbursable work) in Table 3. The proposed maximum profit rate will be legally binding and will be the maximum profit rate the offeror will be allowed to propose for all firm fixed price work and cost reimbursable work performed under this contract. The proposed maximum fixed fee rate or maximum profit rate will be legally binding and will be the maximum fixed fee rate or profit rate the offeror will be allowed to propose for all work performed under this contract. Lower rates may be proposed on subsequent Task Orders/Modifications. Profit and fee will be negotiated on an individual Task Order and modification basis.

Table 3 Maximum Profit and Fee Rates

Maximum Fixed Fee Rate (Cost Reimbursable

Work) Maximum Profit Rate (Firm Fixed Price Work)

Note: Offerors must propose a single rate in Table 3. Do not propose separate maximum rates for subcontractors or Joint Venture partners. Do not submit different maximum rates for self-performed work and subcontracted work. The purpose of this table is to set a maximum profit/fee rate. On subsequent Task Orders and Modifications issued off this MATOC, Offerors may propose separate rates for Joint Ventures and subcontracted work at their own discretion; as long as they do not exceed the maximum rates identified in Table 3 above.

7. Department of Labor Wage Rates

For the purposes of the sample project, Department of Labor Wage Determination 2005-2349, Rev 18, dated December 29, 2015 is attached in Section J of this Solicitation. For individual Task Orders written against the contract, the appropriate Department of Labor Wage Determination will be provided.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT YOUR EVALUATION OF THE

CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the Contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the Contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the Contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the Contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that Contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the Contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The Contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the Contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the Contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the Contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable No information or did not apply to your contract Rating will be neither positive nor negative.

During site operations, the company released/buried material contaminated with PCBs, which resulted in contamination of site soils. The only contaminant above action levels at the site is PCBs. The remedy associated with this sample project is excavation and offsite disposal. Due to the large area impacted by this contaminated fill material, the site was divided into a number of areas to better manage the remediation. Each of the areas is being remediated in a designated phase. This project covers one phase of the work.

4. SITE CONDITIONS

4.1 Physical Setting and Climate: The area of the site included in this phase of remediation consists of a park located adjacent to a light industrial area of the city. The park consists of a level and open grass area. Access to a major interstate highway is approximately 7 miles from the site.

4.2 Soil Conditions: Soil to be excavated consists of a variety of materials, from silty sand, to sand. The unit weight of the soil is 1.6 tons/bank cubic yard. The total amount of soil to be excavated is 125,190 bank cubic yards.

The amount of soil requiring offsite disposal is 71,110 bank cubic yards. The soil that does not require offsite disposal will be used onsite as backfill.

The top one foot of the contaminated interval requiring disposal is above the TSCA threshold of 50mg/kg for PCB contamination in soil and EPA has approved this material to be disposed of at a Subtitle C facility. The underlying five feet of the contaminated interval requiring offsite disposal can be disposed of at a Subtitle D facility.

The pre-design investigation (PDI) indicates that 54,080 bank cubic yards can be used onsite as backfill. This volume includes clean overburden and soils excavated in order to bench the excavation to ensure excavation stability and excavated soil that is segregated and does not exhibit VOCs, SVOCs, TAL Metals, Pesticides and PCBs above regulatory limits and will be reused as backfill. The remainder of backfill will be imported from offsite.

4.3 Groundwater: Groundwater in the area targeted for excavation is encountered at approximately 12 feet below the ground surface.

5. SITE CHARACTERIZATION

Site characterization indicates the limits of contaminated soil are bounded by a rectangular area of approximate dimensions as follows: 400 feet by 800 feet. Contaminated soil above action levels occurs within this area in the 4 to 10-foot depth interval with the top 4 feet of overburden and benching soils around the perimeter being below cleanup criteria.

6. REMEDIAL ACTION SCOPE OF WORK

The general scope of work includes excavation of contaminated soil; sampling and analysis of soil to ensure remedial action objectives have been attained; transportation and offsite disposal of all excavated waste; restoration of the park to pre-excavation conditions; and preparing as built drawings and a Remedial Action Report; and other activities necessary for complete and proper remediation of the site. The Project duration is from November 1, 2016 to Oct 30, 2017.

Waste Handling/Disposal: All waste material will be segregated on site, sampled, and transported off-site for disposal at a disposal facility permitted to accept the waste.

A brief narrative of the Sample Project Approach (2 to 5 pages) that documents means and methods being proposed for completion of the work is to be submitted with the cost proposal. The Sample Project Approach shall document the offeror’s’ assumptions including equipment to be used and production rates assumed. The proposal (bid) schedule shall be completed in its entirety. Also, detailed backup shall be included for each proposal line item. The backup shall include labor, equipment, materials, subcontract information (including subcontractor quotes), and any other information as necessary for the government to understand the basis of the Contractor’s proposal.

Below is a compilation of assumptions and technical requirements for the offeror to consider in development of their cost proposal. Costs have been provided for several subcontract type items the offeror should use in developing their estimate. The reason these costs are provided is to reduce the number of quotes offerors need to obtain for a project that is hypothetical and to limit the number of variables in the cost realism evaluation.

Development of Pre-Work Submittals – assumed cost: $75,000 (fully burdened)

Confirmatory sampling required at base of excavation with one sample from each 30’ x 30’ area at the base of the excavation and one sample per 100-ft along the sidewalls of the excavation across the depth interval of 4 to 10 ft.

bgs. Confirmatory samples shall be analyzed at an offsite laboratory by EPA for PCBs only.

Assume 1-1/2 to 1 slope for benching of excavation.

Assume no laboratory costs – all laboratory analysis including sampling of borrow material, will be performed by an EPA laboratory at no cost to the project.

The topsoil overlying the excavation area shall be scraped off, stockpiled, and re-used as topsoil during backfill operations. Additional backfill shall be obtained from an off-site borrow source. The top 6-inches of topsoil will be reused during site restoration. The quantity of this topsoil that shall be placed and rolled by the contractor prior to seeding is 6,610 bcy.

All backfill and topsoil shall be tested for VOCs, SVOCs, TAL Metals, Pesticides and PCBs at a rate of one sample per 2000 BCY or fraction thereof, prior to being delivered to the site. Except for topsoil, backfill shall be placed in 12-inch loose lifts and compacted to 90% standard proctor (ASTM D 698) density with + 3 percent of optimum moisture content. In-place density shall be verified using either ASTM D 1556 or ASTM D 2922. In place density shall be measured at a frequency of 1 sample per lift. Delivered price does not include analysis to certify clean or placement, compaction, and compaction testing.

Site Restoration shall consist of hydro seeding the excavated area with a turf-type tall fescue at a rate of 250 lbs/acre. Starter fertilizer shall be at 24-25-4 applied at a rate of 150 lbs/acre.

A closeout report consisting of a Post Remedial Action Report (PRAR) and a Construction Closeout Report (CCOR) shall be developed at the completion of the project. Assume the cost to develop these reports is a total of $75,000 (fully burdened).

Assume all required permits have been obtained.

Assume no cost for storm water management

Assume 1 sample per 500 tons for soil that is to be disposed at an offsite disposal facility

All analytical work will be performed by an EPA lab at no cost to the project. Assume no cost for the analytical requirements of this sample project. Sampling costs shall be included in the offeror’s proposal.
