The General Services Administration (GSA), Region 3, has identified a need for a Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract vehicle with Design-Build Capabilities for various repairs and alterations to government owned and leased facilities for following cities located in the State of Virginia: Richmond, Charlottesville, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, Chesapeake, Hampton, and Virginia Beach. The previous multiple ID/IQ contract expired (please see Solicitation # GS-03P-13-CD-D-0008/Contract Award #: GS-03P-13-CD-D-0037 for further information). The award of multiple ID/IQ contracts is anticipated. Ordering officials will solicit and award task orders for specific projects on a competitive basis among the ID/IQ awardees. This procurement will be set aside for women-owned small businesses (WOSB) under FAR 6.207 and FAR 19.501(c); with a multiple award task order contract awarded to responsible offeror(s) whose proposal offers the best overall value to the Government. The individual orders to be placed under the contracts will generally range in value from the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) to the prospectus threshold (currently $3.095M); however, there may be individual orders with lower or higher costs placed against this contract, if in the Government's interest to do so. A guaranteed minimum of $2,500.00 will be awarded for the base year only. The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). The contract duration will be one (1) base year with four (4) one-year options with the possibility of an extension of performance up to an additional six (6) months, in accordance with FAR 52.217-8. The aggregate maximum order limitation (MOL) is $25,000,000.00 for the entire duration of all contracts awarded as a result of this solicitation. In other words, there is no single MOL per contractor nor a single MOL per year, other than the MOL of the entire contract. Each project/task order will be competed among the ID/IQ contract awardees using criteria established by the ordering office (price alone or a combination of price and technical factors). This contract vehicle may be utilized by both Regional and Field Office personnel. No fewer than three (3) and not to exceed five (5) contracts are anticipated to be awarded as a result of this procurement. However, the Government reserves the right to award a number of contracts outside of this anticipated range. The NAICS code applicable to this procurement is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and the small business size standard is $36.5 million. The scope of this contract is to provide construction services that includes but is not limited to: general office renovation, interior construction and building exterior repair, repair and alteration work; installation of new and the alteration of existing power panels; carpet and carpet tile installation; painting; HVAC duct work modification and repair; modification of existing building fire sprinkler systems; plastering and plaster repair work; sidewalk repair/replacement, asphalt /concrete paving; alterations including but not limited to electrical, carpentry, masonry, plumbing, mechanical, architectural, landscaping, storm drainage, exterior restoration, waterproofing, repointing, cleaning, sealing, design-build services; Roofing involving installation, repair and alteration, and removal of all types; and Paving relevant to property and roads owned, leased or otherwise controlled by GSA, or other Federal authorized agencies; and other related work specifically listed on the task order and job drawings. In addition, design work incidental to construction as well as design/build task orders will be considered when issuing request for proposals. The use of Green products shall be addressed within the overall statement of work, as well as the individual task orders under these contracts. For the base IDIQ contract price evaluation, the Government shall use the "Job Order Construction (JOC)" approach. In this approach, offeror's would propose a bid factor to be used in conjunction with RSMeans Facilities Construction Data Set to establish line items. After contract award, the Government anticipates using this pricing approach for task orders estimated to be under $500,000. The Government anticipates that task orders estimated to be $500,000 or more would be priced on a lump sum basis. However, the Government reserves the right to be flexible for utilizing either approach (lump sum or JOC) for any task order at any dollar value. RSMeans pricing would be updated annually when Options are exercised. Pricing proposals will be evaluated to determine the reasonableness of the offeror's bid factor by comparing it with the Independent Government Estimate (IGE) and with other bid factors received in response to the solicitation. A price analysis will be performed in accordance with FAR Part 15.404-1. Price shall be evaluated, but will not be assigned a weight. The total evaluated price will be used in the determination of any price-technical trade-offs, not individual line items. The contract will be procured using SOURCE SELECTION procedures as identified in FAR 15.3. The best value concept will provide the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) the opportunity to make a best value (Price/Technical Trade-Off) analysis on the submitted proposal and the offeror's capability to perform. Offerors are informed that a selection and award may be made without discussions. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, upon completion of any discussions, the CO shall issue to all offerors within the competitive range, a request for revised proposals. When these offers are received, a final technical evaluation will be performed to see if the revisions affect the technical merits of the proposals. The final evaluation will be governed by the same rules and considerations as those applied to the evaluation of the initial technical proposals. Once the final offers have been evaluated and all relevant information available, a summary conclusion will be developed that will include a narrative justification indicating sound rationale for the rating and judgment applied. If price/technical trade-offs are recommended, a written explanation for each trade-off will be provided to explain the rationale for the recommendation. Unsuccessful offerors will be notified in writing and any requests for debriefings will take place upon written request. All evaluation factors relative to the contract award and their importance will be clearly stated within the solicitation. Greater emphasis is being placed on other than price-related factors because of the importance of successful and timely completion of all individual task orders. Contracts will be awarded to the responsible offerors whose proposals are most advantageous to the Government. The proposals providing the best value to the Government when considering both price and technical factors shall be accepted. For this procurement, the combined weight of the technical evaluation factors (evaluation factors other than price) will be significantly more important than price. The technical evaluation factors in the evaluation process are listed below in descending order of importance: 1. Prior Experience on Relevant Projects 2. Past Performance on Relevant Projects 3. Management Plan The solicitation package (including specifications, offer forms, clauses and provisions) will only be available electronically on FedBizOpps. It will be available on or after June 13, 2019. Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading the solicitation and for monitoring the website for possible amendments and/or additional information. Offerors MUST be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to participate in this procurement. The website for SAM is: https://www.sam.gov/SAM/.
