ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION 01 30 00

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

3. TASK ORDERS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

1.1 When the Government has a work request, a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued. The RFP shall include information concerning the statement of work, guide specifications, drawings, attachments, information pertaining to a site visit, design requirements for design-build projects, evaluation criteria, and any other requirements for submissions (e.g., proposal requirements, bid schedule, etc.). As to Bank Letter of Guarantee and Bank Letter of Assurance, see samples provided as attachments and Section 00700-Contract clauses.

1.2 Depending upon the requirements of each task order, the Contractor will provide one of the following in response to an RFP: (a) lump sum price, (b) a price for each line item in the Schedule (when optional items are used), or (c) technical proposal in one package and the price proposal in a separate package.

1.3 Offerors attendance at site visits is considered vital to preparation of competitive and cost-effective offers, and to understanding the total results desired by the Government. Failure to attend site visits shall not be used as an excuse for omission or miscalculation in offers, and may be taken into consideration in determining a Contractor’s eligibility to participate in future Task Orders. The Contractors will not be reimbursed for attendance during negotiations, site visits, proposal preparation or other pre-Task Order award costs. The Contractor Officer reserves the right to make attendance at site visits mandatory for specific Task Orders and to reject offers by Contractors who have not attended the site visits.

1.4 Contractors shall respond within the number of calendar days stated in the RFP by submitting a proposal to the Contracting Officer in accordance with requirements stated in the RFP.

1.5 Proposals will either be accepted as is or negotiated to the mutual agreement of both the Government and the Contractor. Upon conclusion of satisfactory discussions or negotiations (if required), a Task Order will be issued by the Contracting Officer reflecting the negotiated order price and payment terms as outlined in the statement of work or specifications. In any instance where there is failure to reach agreement on price, the Government reserves the right to withdraw the project and have it completed by other means or to use the order unilaterally based upon Offeror’s proposed coefficients on the Bidding Schedule.

2. EVALUATION METHOD AND PROCEDURES OF RFPs

2.1 When an RFP for a Task Order is issued, the Government intends to select the most advantageous, responsive, and responsible proposal resulting in the Best Value to the Government, price and other factors considered. It is anticipated that the majority of the Task Orders will be awarded based on competition, but the Government reserves the right to the award Task Orders as follows:

1. Price only

2. Price/Technical, to include schedule of work (Best Value)

3. Unilateral issuance of order using the Unit Price Book award coefficients, see paragraph 6. this Section

2.2 All MATOC Contractors will be given a fair opportunity to bid on Task Orders over $3,000.00 unless one of the following exceptions apply:

a. The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays;

b. Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized;

c. The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardess were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order; or

d. It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

2.3 The Contracting Officer, in making decisions in award of any individual Task Order, will consider factors such as past performance on earlier Task Orders under MATOC, quality, timeliness, or other factors that the Contracting Officer determines to be relevant in awarding a particular Task Order. Award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements for each Task Order;

however, pricing will be a consideration.

2.4 When an RFP for a Task Order is issued with price as the only criteria, the low responsive Offeror will be awarded the Task Order. During the administration of this contract prices as part of Price Proposal(s) shall not exceed the Unit Price Book prices including the contract award coefficient(s). The Government reserves the right to request back-up documentation, engineering computations, and take offs to substantiate the Offeror’s Price Proposals. In the case of a unilateral award, the Government will issue the award based on the UPB price and the Contractor’s award coefficient.

2.5 When both technical and price are considered, award of a Task Order resulting from an RFP will be based on technical rating and price being considered. If the Government determines technical rating of greater importance to price or price to be of greater importance to technical rating or of equal importance to the technical rating, then the RFP will describe criteria to be utilized in evaluating the Task Order proposal.

2.6 The Government’s payment of the Lump Sum Amount of individual Task Orders shall constitute full compensation to the Contractor for (1) Furnishing all plant, labor equipment, appliances, and materials; and (2) Performing all operations required to complete the work in conformity with the drawings, specifications and/or statement of work. The Contractor shall include in their proposal costs of all work required by drawings, specifications, and/or statement of work.

2.7 The requirement procedures for Defense Base Act (DBA) is located in the contract clause 52.000-

4106 DEFENCE BASE ACT INSURANCE RATES – LIMITATION FIXED-PRICE (APR 2011).

DBA shall be reimbursed per Task Order and shall be itemized as a Line Item on individual Task Orders. Cost for DBA is not considered to be part of the coefficients.

3. TASK ORDER AWARD

3.1 Whenever possible, award will be made without discussions. If discussions are held each MATOC Contractor may be request to provide a final proposal revision. Task Order award will be made based on the basis for award as described in the Request for Proposal. The Government will notify Contractors when any Task Order (competed or otherwise awarded) is awarded under the MATIC procedures.

3.2 Task Orders will be issued on DD Form 1155. Orders may be placed via mail, telephone, facsimile or electronic commerce. The Task Order becomes binding when the Contracting Officer signs the Order.

3.3 In accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(7), no protest under Subpart 33.1 is authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of an order under a Task Order Contract except for a protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract. Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued separately after receipt of an acceptable Bank Letter of Guaranty, if required, and approved submittals as identified per Task Order or for Task Order awards over $10,000,000. Debriefs are authorized for task orders over $5,000,000 in accordance with FAR Part 16.505.

3.4 In accordance with FAR Part 16.505(b)(6), the Head of the Contracting Activity is required to appoint a task and delivery order ombudsman. If the Contractor believes it was not fairly considered for a particular Task Order, the Contractor may present the matter to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor may appeal the explanation or decision of the Contracting Officer to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Ombudsman at the following address: Headquarters, US Atlantic PARC., Directorate of Contracting, ATTN: PARC., 60 Forsyth Street S.W., Room 10M35, Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8801.

a. On rare occasions when the development of problems during other than normal duty hours arise which may jeopardize the operation of the areas, the contractor will be required to respond to the Government needs within four (4) hours following telephone notification which may be made at any time in any twenty-four hour period. To accomplish this, the Contractor will provide to the COR a number at which he can be reached on a twenty-four hour basis.

b. The Contractor shall, within five (5) hours (unless the Contracting Officer determines that additional time is required) following such notification, provide a proposal. The time of commencement and completion shall be as specified by the Government.

c. The Proposal will be reviewed for completeness and any concerns or inconsistencies will be negotiated.

For any items not covered by UPB, that are within the scope of the contract, the Contractor shall provided competitive quotes to establish a fair and reasonable price which shall be negotiated and incorporated into Task Orders. The Contractors coefficients will be applied to the overall UPB price to establish the total value of the Task Order. There may be circumstances where proposals will be negotiated without Offeror’s proposed coefficients on the Bidding Schedule applied to the UPB, such as follow-on work and items of work not covered by the UPB,

6. COEFFICIENT AND DEFINITIONS
