Significant Solicitation Changes

NOTICE!!!

The final BMO Phase II Solicitations are projected to be released within the month. Below are the significant changes to note in the final solicitations.

We are requesting your feedback on these changes. Please submit your feedback to fssi.bmo@gsa.gov by Noon Central Time, Monday, July 11, 2016.

Service Groupings
Phase I included two separate Service Groupings of Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and Facility Support Services (FSS). For Phase II we intend to combine all service categories into one grouping, removing the two separate designations. To be eligible for an award offerors must propose under all required service categories and provide sufficient relevant project experience for each category. Note, as stated below, due to regulation changes relevant project experience evaluation may now include 1st tier subcontractor experience.

Required Services
HVAC Maintenance
Fire Alarm System Maintenance and Repair
Plumbing and Pipefitting
Roofing Services
Electrical Maintenance
Fire Suppression System Preventative Maintenance and Repair
**Elevator Maintenance Building Management Services (Required for Unrestricted/Optional for Small Business Set-aside)
Janitorial Commissioning Services
Landscaping Grounds Maintenance Elevator Inspection Services

Optional Services
Architectural and Framework Building Maintenance Services
Cemetery Maintenance
Pest Control
Waste Management and Recycling Services
Other Facilities Related Services

Service Categories
Fire Suppressions System Preventative Maintenance and Repair Services now include both dry and water-based systems.

Relevant Project Experience
Pursuant to the Small Business Government Contracting and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2013 Amendments, effective June 30, 2016, changes are made to the evaluation of small business relevant project experience. When evaluating an offeror's relevant project experience, the capabilities and past performance of first tier subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or participating entities of a Joint Venture will be considered as long as a Contracting Teaming Agreement Commitment Letter is provided with the offer for each service category as applicable.

Multiple Zones
There will be two solicitations (Unrestricted and Small Business) with Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS) for each zone. Both the Unrestricted Solicitation and the Small Business Solicitation will be comprised of 5 different zones. Offerors may propose for one zone or for multiple zones.

Zone 2 = Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont
Zone 3 = Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina
Zone 4 = Oklahoma, Texas
Zone 5 = California, Nevada
Zone 6 = Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska

Pricing
As with Phase I, wage determinations will be provided to use for Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS) labor categories rate buildup. Phase II solicitations will provide one wage determination per zone (Z2-Boston, Z3-Atlanta, Z4-Houston, Z5-San Francisco, Z6-Chicago). Offered BMO pricing will be evaluated by zone.
