The procurement consists of one solicitation with the intent to award approximately six to eight Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction contracts to the responsible Offerors whose proposals, conforming to the Request for Proposal (RFP), will be most advantageous to the Government resulting in the best value, price and technical factors considered. AWARD MAY BE MADE TO A FIRM OTHER THAN THAT SUBMITTING THE LOWEST PRICE. OFFERORS ARE ADVISED AWARD MAY BE MADE WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS OR ANY CONTACT CONCERNING THE PROPOSAL RECEIVED. THEREFORE, OFFERORS’ INITIAL PROPOSALS SHOULD CONTAIN THE OFFERORS’ BEST TERMS. CONTRACT DESCRIPTION. This procurement will result in the award of a Multiple Award IDIQ contract with no pre-established fixed contract prices. The actual amount of work to be performed and the time of such performance will be determined by the Contracting Officer or his/her properly authorized representative, who will issue written task orders to the contractor(s). Award of task orders will be on a firm-fixed price basis. After award of the initial contracts, each awardee shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order, except under those circumstances described in the contract. Each contract will consist of a three-year base period plus a five-year option period, or a total aggregate MACC value not-to-exceed $400,000,000.00, whichever occurs first. Task orders will typically range from $100,000 to $10,000,000 per order. The Government guarantees an award amount of $5,000 to each contract awarded as a result of this solicitation over the full term of the contract. The seed project task order will be a design-build construction project within the NAVFAC Northwest AOR to renovate the regional dispatch center at Building 1103 at Naval Base Kitsap, Bangor, Silverdale, Washington. One or more of the items under this acquisition is/are subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements. AWARD INFORMATION: Phase 1 of the solicitation process will consist of Factor 1: Technical Approach, Factor 2: Experience, and Factor 3: Past Performance and Factor 4: Safety. Following the review, evaluation, and rating of these proposals, the Government intends to select the highest rated Offerors to receive the technical requirements package to participate in Phase 2 of this solicitation process. Approximately 10 of the highest rated offerors will be selected for Phase 2, in Phase II the solicitation, participants will be evaluated on: Factor 5: Technical Solution; and Price. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors 2, 4, and 5) are approximately equal in importance to each other and when combined are equal in importance to the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating (Factor 3). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (e.g., the non-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price. The importance of price will increase if the Offeror’s non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best-value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any or all proposers; to use tradeoff processes when it may be in the best interest of the Government; to consider award to other than the lowest priced proposer or other than the highest technically rated proposer; and award to the proposer submitting the proposal determined by the Government to be the most advantageous (best value) to the Government. Proposers should be advised THE GOVERNMENT FULLY INTENDS TO EVALUATE PROPOSALS AND AWARD THE CONTRACT WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS WITH OFFERORS. Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THIS SOLICITATION WILL BE OFFERED IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT ONLY. NO HARD COPIES WILL BE PROVIDED.
