DESCRIPTION: 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, up to seven (7) qualified Offeror(s), whose Proposal(s) 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, general building renovation, road and 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. Project work may also include Force Protection type projects and Design Build projects for various construction type projects. Up to seven (7) contract awards under this solicitation are anticipated, servicing the U.S. Forces and/or Facilities throughout Estonia. This solicitation will cover the geographical area of Estonia, which includes all U. S. Government Facilities throughout Estonia. SOURCE SELECTION: 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 (a maximum of seven (7) contractors) will be requested to submit the proposal requirements for Phase II. Specific evaluation criteria will be provided in the solicitation documents. PLANNED SOLICITATION: This solicitation will be used to award one (1) MATOC contract to support the District through the issuance of Task Orders for various projects. Estimated cost range of this project is not-to-exceed US$49,999,995 for the life of the contract, which will consist of one, two (2) year base period and three (3) one (1) year option periods. The Contract will end upon completion of the five (5) year period or upon attainment of the US$49,999,995 capacity. Individual projects issued under the MATOCs will contain their own estimated values. There will be no limits on the number of task orders awarded/issued in any year; however, the minimum amount per task order issued against this contract is anticipated to be $50,000.00 and the maximum is anticipated not to exceed $15,000,000.00. The minimum guarantee shall be $3,000.00. This amount shall cover the duration of the entire contract (Base Period and Option Periods).
