Synopsis of the becsrc eastern EPA regions 1-4

Added: Mar 19, 2015 2:48 pm Modified: Apr 07, 2015 2:30 pmTrack Changes

This is a synopsis amendment to FA8903-15-R-0024 to remove the 2 step, phased approach to proposal submission. This program will now require ALL PROPOSAL DOCUMENTATION to include pricing be submitted by the proposal cutoff date. The revised RFP is expected to be released within the next 30 days.

FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY

1. As identified in the initial synopsis this requirement is to provide a full range of responsive environmental remediation actions necessary to protect human health & the environment. It includes rapid response and removal of environmental media contaminations and site restoration activities located on Base Realignment and Closure Bases (BRAC) in EPA regions 1 - 4 (Eastern). The BRAC Environmental Construction and Services Requirements Contract (BECSRC) is being contemplated to include a 5 year ordering period with 24 additional months for performance completion of services.

2. The purpose of soliciting and awarding this Requirements Contract is to have a tool in place for "pop-up" interim Environmental Remediation requirements. "Pop-ups" are unplanned, out-of-cycle requirements that occur periodically, but erratically on installations included in the BRAC Program Management Division portfolio. The BRAC Program Management Division, responsible for remediation and transfer of Air Force property affected by BRAC legislation, manages the disposal of Air Force property in accordance with BRAC law and the BRAC Master Plan to achieve early environmental resolution and early property disposal to return value to the Air Force and local communities. Requirements contracts are set up with one contractor to provide service (FAR 16.503). Generally speaking, an IDIQ obligates the Government to a minimum quantity/dollar amount at the time award, while a Requirements Contract guarantees the contractor no such minimum.

3. IAW DoD SS procedures and FAR part 15 offerors will be promptly notified in writing if their proposals are excluded from the competitive range or otherwise eliminated from the competition.

4. The Government anticipates a final solicitation to be released within 30 days; however, this is subject to change. This notification is provided to allow early review of DRAFT solicitation documentation for this requirement. Please submit any questions/comments to: Mr. John Beeman at john.beeman.1@us.af.mil.

Any communications with the Government from the date of this synopsis through contract award shall be directed in writing to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), Mr. Jonathan Swall (jonathan.swall.1@us.af.mil) and Contract Specialist, Mr. John Beeman at john.beeman.1@us.af.mil.

Added: Mar 19, 2015 2:48 pm THIS IS A SYNOPSIS OF THE BECSRC EASTERN EPA REGIONS 1-4

1. This requirement is to provide a full range of responsive environmental remediation actions necessary to protect human health and the environment. It includes rapid response and removal of environmental media contaminations and site restoration activities located on BRAC bases in EPA regions 1-4 (Eastern). The BECSRC will include a 5-year ordering period with 24 additional months for performance completion.

2. The purpose of setting up each "BECSRC" is to have a PK tool in place for "pop-up" requirements. Pop-ups are frequently occurring small, unplanned and out-of-cycle requirements that typically require a quick initial response from the Air Force. A Requirements Contract is the most suitable contract vehicle 1) because the nature of pop-ups are the AFCEC cannot predetermine the precise quantities of services that will be needed during the ordering/performance period and 2) because requirements contracts are set up with only one contractor to provide service (FAR 16.503) which agreeably shortens the acquisition timeline. AFCEC/CIB has been looking for a way to streamline acquisition timelines to address time sensitive requirements. A Requirements Contract very neatly provides a solution to these issues/considerations.

3. Source selection is being conducted using a phased evaluation process which is sometimes referred to as a "down-select" as well as using Full Trade-off source selection criteria. Volumes I & II will be required in "Phase 1" and Volumes III & IV in "Phase 2". In accordance with FAR 15.304(e), all evaluation factors other than Cost/Price, when combined, are: significantly more important than cost or price. To make the process more efficient, the CO is limiting the amount of information that offerors must submit initially in order to minimize the amount of material interested offerors must prepare and the government must evaluate in order to conduct this source selection.

The Evaluation Factors:

Factor 1: Technical
Sub-factor 1.1: Managerial Approach
Sub-factor 2.1: Corporate Experience
Factor 2: Past Performance
Factor 3: Cost/Pricing

4.  IAW DoD SS procedures and FAR part 15 offerors will be promptly notified in writing if their proposals are excluded from the competitive range or otherwise eliminated from the competition. Evaluation Notices (ENs) will be sent to all offerors within the competitive range instructing them to provide the Phase II volumes of their proposal(s). Volume III is the required Pricing and Volume IV includes a Sample Task Order. Volume III instructions include a Unit Pricing Matrix and a Labor Rates Matrix. The goal is to obtain unit pricing and pre-priced discrete deliverables to the maximum extent practicable in order to streamline proposal preparation and proposal evaluations at the task order level.
