1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. SCOPE:

You are invited to submit a proposal in response to our Request for Proposal (RFP) entitled, “MISSOURI MATOC Solicitation” for construction and design-build services for National Guard locations throughout the State of MISSOURI. As a result of this solicitation, the Government intends that a minimum of nine

(9) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, (IDIQ) Task Order Contracts will be awarded, providing sufficient qualified contractors present offers. All awards will be to small business pursuant to a 100% small business set-aside. The contracting officer may set-aside task orders for SBA Certified 8(a) participants; Certified HUBZone Small Business Concerns, Small Business Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business and Women Owned Small Businesses Concerns providing 2 or more qualified contractors in each category present conforming offers and are awarded a MATOC. The Government also reserves the right to set-aside task orders for other authorized socio- economic programs approved for use during the existence of this MATOC and implemented by the FAR or DFARS.

1.1.1. Awards will be made to offerors whose proposals, responsive and conforming to the RFP, are determined to be most advantageous to the Government in terms of Technical, Price and other factors considered. Socioeconomic status of the offeror will also be considered.

1.1.2. Work to be performed under the MATOC contracts will include, but are not limited to, construction, demolition/remediation services, and limited design services for projects designated for real property facilities normally on MISSOURI National Guard sites. Projects will principally be bid build type from already completed designs, and/or projects specified by a Statement of Work using the Master Specification. It should be noted that the majority of work under these contracts will be for sustainment, repair and maintenance (SRM) at the under $1M dollar level. However, offerings may on rare occasion include some design/build projects some of which may be non-complex or complex performance based offerings. Complex design-build projects will normally be solicited using a two phase approach as described in Section 00800.

1.1.3. The Government reserves the right to issue additional solicitations and award additional contracts within the activities covered by this contract. In this event, new MATOC contractors, in accordance with the terms of their contracts, may compete for Task Orders with the Contractors selected under this solicitation. This is not a solicitation for a Requirements Contract.

1.2. PROJECT CATEGORIES: Work performed under these Multi-Discipline Contracts will generally be of, but are not limited to, the following general project categories:

1.2.1. Construction, repair and alteration of various facilities.

1.2.2. Construction, repairs and alteration of Electrical Systems (ES)

1.2.3. Construction, repair and alteration of Mechanical Systems (e.g. HVAC systems, and controls.)

1.2.4. Concrete and/or Asphalt Paving.

1.2.5. Demolition of facilities when required. Note: Demolition projects that are stand-alone, not part of a rebuild, fall under the Service Contract Act, and the Davis Bacon Act is not applicable, nor is bonding. FAR 52.222-41, Services Contract Act of 1965, and FAR 52.246-13, Inspection—Dismantling, Demolition, or Removal of Improvements clauses and requirements apply. Note that the applicable clauses for Prompt Payment, Value Engineering, and Termination are likewise different from such clauses applicable to all other requirements under this contract.

1.3. CONTRACT DURATION, LIMITS, AND AMOUNTS: Each of the resulting contracts will include a two-year base period (2 years) and three one-year option periods. The maximum value of each contract will not exceed $20 million over the life of the contract. The Minimum and Maximum values for a single Task Order are $200.00 and $5 million, respectively.

The minimum guaranteed order for each contract is one (1) task order valued at $200 with a guaranteed fee of $200.00 for the life of the contract. At time of award of the basic contract, a task order for $200.00 will be issued and will be paid only if the awarded contractor submits acceptable Master Quality Control and Safety Plans to the Contracting Officer. Plans are due 30 days after issuance of the task order. Failure to submit the required plans within 60 days of issuance of the task order may result in the Government unilaterally cancelling the task order and basic award. See Section 00800 for details.

1.4. TASK ORDERS

1.4.1. As requirements develop, Task Orders will be competed among the MATOC awardees, or negotiated on a sole source basis as described in Section 00800.

1.4.3. Individual Task Orders will be awarded and administered by federally appointed contracting officers, and may be issued by any Army or Air National Guard location in the State of MISSOURI. Organizations outside of the issuing office of the basic contract will be responsible for the complete administration of Task Orders issued.

1.4.4. Construction performance requirements will be specified for each project in the Task Order Request for Proposal. MATOC Awardees will compete for Task Orders among themselves.
