Pre-Solicitation Notice
FY17 Georgia (Country) MATOC

W912GB-17-R-0023

This Pre-Solicitation Notice provides the intent of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Europe District to award two (2) to five (5) Firm-Fixed-Priced (FFP) Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) for the purpose of construction services in the areas throughout the country of Georgia.

The use of the MATOC will provide the Government with a construction product delivery method that can accommodate quick and straight-forward projects, as well as some small but complex projects, and can help minimize design effort and related overhead expenditures, as well as handle compressed schedules. The Government will evaluate and select, for contract award, two (2) to five (5) qualified Offerors, whose Proposals are determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with consideration given to both the technical evaluation factors and price.

Task Orders will primarily address new construction, design-build or design-bid-build, general building renovation, road and airfield pavement repair, utility work to include water, sewer, electrical, and gas, and general environmental work including, but not limited to, incidental minor construction, excavation, plumbing, demolition, electrical, structural, mechanical, concrete work, and environmental remedial work. This solicitation will cover the geographical area of Georgia (country).

In accordance with FAR 36.3, Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures, a two-phase source selection process will be used to evaluate the contractors for award. Those contractors who are considered most qualified during Phase I (not to exceed five (5) contractors) will be requested to submit the proposal requirements for Phase II. Specific evaluation criteria will be provided in the solicitation documents.

The estimated cost of the MATOC is not-to-exceed US$30,000,000.00 for the life of the contract, which will consist of a base period of three (3) years and two (2) one(1)-year option periods. The Contract will end upon completion of the five (5) years (if all options are exercised) or upon attainment of the US$30,000,000.00 capacity. Individual projects issued under the MATOC will contain their own estimated values. There will be no limits on the number of task orders awarded/issued in any year. The minimum guarantee shall be $5,000.00. This amount shall cover the duration of the entire contract (Base Period and Option Periods).

The Corps of Engineers, Europe District intends to advertise the solicitation for this MATOC on or about 28 Dec 2015. Only firms that the U.S. Government determines qualified will be included as a part of a Restricted Plan Holders List (RPHL). Only qualified firms on the RPHL will be invited to participate and be provided a copy of the solicitation.

If the Offeror wishes to perform some of the work using subcontractors (subject to the 25% prime contractor work requirement stated in FAR 52.236-1, Performance of Work by the Contractor), the prime contractor may use subcontractors of any nationality providing they submit commitment letters from those subcontractors. The contractor may not change subcontractors without the Contracting Officer's approval. Approval will not be given unless the contracting officer, in the exercise of his/her sole discretion, considers the proposed substitute to be equal in all respects to the originally proposed subcontractor and the contracting officer considers the substitution to be in the best interests of the Government.
