PROPOSALS SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO:

NAVFAC MIDWEST PWD Great Lakes
ATTN: Ms. Mary Beth Rankin
2625 Ray Street, Building 2016
Great Lakes, IL 60088

This RFP is for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Design Build Multiple Award Construction Contract (IDIQ DB MACC) for construction services at Naval Station, Great Lakes, Illinois and Department of Defense facilities within a 450 mile radius of Naval Station, Great Lakes, IL.   

The government anticipates awarding a maximum of six IDIQ contracts under the DB MACC.  The maximum value of all of the orders that may be placed during all of the ordering periods under all of the contracts awarded is $50,000,000.  The minimum guaranteed amount is $5,000 to each contractor.  Only the base period of the contract will offer a minimum guarantee.

The work includes providing all labor, material, equipment, transportation, supervision and management required to perform all work associated with new construction, renovation, alteration, repair, and design/build capability at Naval Station, Great Lakes, Illinois and Department of Defense facilities within a 450-mile radius of Naval Station, Great Lakes.  As stated, the capabilities that will be required for this contract include design/build competencies.  However, task order RFPs may also be issued with a government provided design. In addition, some projects may require the contractors to prepare LEED qualified designs. 

This procurement consists of two phases.  Phase I of the procurement is a narrowing phase in order to reduce the total proposals to be evaluated to a maximum of eight (8) offerors based on evaluation factors that include Technical Approach, Experience, Past Performance, and Safety.  Only those highly qualified offerors selected in Phase I whose proposals conform to the RFP and are determined to be the most advantageous to the Government and resulting in the best value will be allowed to proceed to Phase II.  In Phase II, offerors will be required to submit technical and price proposals for the initial seed project that will be funded at the time of award and will satisfy the minimum guarantee. The other selected offerors will each receive a guaranteed minimum of $5,000, funded on individual task orders.   Offerors are advised that selection of Phase I and/or an award may be made in Phase II without discussions or without any contact concerning the proposal received. 

Along with award of the basic contracts, the initial (seed) project is planned to be awarded as the first task order. The seed project has a projected cost of $5.7 million and will provide miscellaneous repairs and upgrades to adapt the MCRC Building 3200 to augment the MCRC's ability to support the effective and efficient training for the assigned Marine Units.  The project will conform to anti-terrorism/force protection standards and follow LEED and Federal Energy Acts compliance criteria for design, development, and construction of the project.  The complete Statement of Work (SOW) for the seed project will be included in Phase II of this solicitation.

The Government intends to issue a task order to obligate the contract minimum guarantee of $5,000 to each successful contractor. No minimum guarantees apply to the option periods.  The task order to obligate the minimum guarantee will be issued concurrently with the award of the basic contract. Contractors may not invoice against this task order unless they have not been awarded a new task order within the base period. Once the contractor receives a task order which exceeds the minimum guarantee amount, the minimum guarantee task order will be modified to de-obligate the funds from the task order.

Offerors can view and/or download the Phase I solicitation and all attachments at FedBizOpps (www.fbo.gov).  The official plan holders list will be created by interested offerors registering in FedBizOpps and will be available from the website only.  Amendments will also be posted on the website for downloading.  This will be the only method for distributing amendments.  Therefore, it is the offerors' responsibility to check the website periodically for any amendments to this solicitation.
