DCM's proposal was determined to be the best value to the Government, price and technical factors considered.  Their total evaluated price for the feeder project (SSA Robert M. Ball Building Conference Room Renovation) was $172,656.

This contract is to provide general construction services.  In addition, design work incidental to construction as well as design-build work are included.  The NAICS code for this procurement is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction Contractors).

This will be a firm fixed price contract.  All work to be acquired under the contract will be accomplished by the issuance of individual task orders.  The individual task orders to be placed under the contract will generally range in dollar value from approximately $150,000.00 to $3,000,000.00.  Smaller or larger orders may be placed against this IDIQ.  The Maximum Order Limitation (MOL) shall be $50,000,000 aggregate for all task orders for the entire term of the contract.  The $50,000,000 aggregate limit will not be separated equally per awardee; one awardee could potentially receive all task orders based on competition.  Offerors will be required to provide a letter from their bonding company with their proposal submission demonstrating their bonding capacity of at least $3,000,000 per single project.  This contract vehicle may be utilized by GSA Regional Office personnel.  This contract will be solicited as a one (1) year contract, with four (4) one (1) year option periods, for a total potential contract period of five (5) years.  Facilities covered under the scope of this contract include Government owned and leased facilities in the State of Maryland, excluding Montgomery and Prince George Counties, and Jefferson and Berkeley Counties in West Virginia. 

Services will be required under these contracts on an as-needed basis.  Task orders will be prepared based on defined scopes of work for specific projects and issued with firm fixed price tasks orders.  The solicitation will include a Statement of Work (SOW) for a feeder project within the scope of this contract.  The feeder project is an actual project that will be used as the basis for price proposal evaluation, and may be awarded as the first task order on the IDIQ contract. 

The contract will be acquired using Source Selection procedures as identified in FAR 15.3 with a firm fixed price award to the offerors who provide the best value to the Government.  This procurement is set aside for competition among small businesses. Small businesses and all categories of small businesses (women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, etc) are encouraged to participate.  The small business size-standard for this NAICS Code is $33,500,000.  Offerors will be evaluated based on technical merit and price proposals.  For this procurement, the combined technical evaluation factors are significantly more important than price.  The trade-off process under the best value approach will be used.  The technical evaluation factors are, in descending order of importance: 1. Prior Experience, 2. Past Performance, and 3. Key Personnel.  Prior Experience and Past Performance are of equal importance. 

The Government's intent is to award to no less than three (3) and no more than five (5) offerors who submit proposals which will provide the best value to the Government in terms of technical qualifications and price.  The Government intends to award contracts in approximately June 2013.

The Government intends to make award without discussion.  Therefore, offerors are requested to submit their initial proposals to the Government on the most favorable terms based on technical and price factors.  The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

The solicitation package (including specifications, offer forms, clauses, and provisions) will only be available electronically on FedBizOpps.  It will be available on or after March 27, 2013.  Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading the solicitation and for monitoring the website for possible amendments and/or additional information.
