Synopsis: Multiple Award Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) Contract with Design/Build Capabilities for Eastern and Western Pennsylvania. Maximum Ordering Limitation (MOL): The MOL for the East shall be $6 million, and the MOL for the West shall be $8 million. The General Services Administration (GSA) Mid-Atlantic Region intends to solicit proposals for a new Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) multiple award term contract for the provision of repair and alteration construction services, with design-build capabilities, to all locations, owned and leased, in Eastern and Western Pennsylvania. Performance Location(s): Government owned and leased facilities in: 1. Eastern Pennsylvania (excluding Philadelphia): including the counties of Adams, Bedford, Berks, Blair, Bradford, Bucks, Carbon, Centre, Clinton, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Fulton, Franklin, Huntington, Juniata, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, Mifflin, Monroe, Montgomery, Montour, Northampton, Northumberland, Perry, Pike, Potter, Wayne, Schuylkill, Snyder, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga, Union, Wyoming, and York. 2. Western Pennsylvania: including the counties of Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Cambria, Cameron, Clarion, Clearfield, Crawford, Elk, Erie, Fayette, Forest, Greene, Indiana, Jefferson, Lawrence, McKean, Mercer, Somerset, Venango, Warren, Washington, and Westmoreland. General Description of Scope of Services: Repair and alteration construction services with Design/Build Capabilities are being procured. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 236220, entitled “Commercial and Institutional Building Construction” and the small business size standard is $39.5 million. In the two (2) geographic areas identified above, GSA Region 3 PBS intends to award no less than four (4), but no more than six (6), Firm Fixed Price (FFP) IDIQ contract awards. This procurement will be solicited via a total small-business set-aside in accordance with FAR 19.505-2 and FAR 6.203. 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. Each awardee will be guaranteed a minimum of $2,500.00 for the base year of each contract. The aggregate maximum order limitation (MOL) for the East shall be $6 million, and the MOL for the West shall be $8 million for the entire duration of all contracts awarded as a result of this solicitation. In other words, there is no single MOL per contractor or a single MOL per year, other than the MOL of the entire contract. The individual orders to be placed under the contracts will generally range in value from $2,000.00 to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000). However, there may be individual orders with lower or higher costs placed against the contract, if in the Government’s interest to do so. This is merely an estimate and does not in any way limit GSA from ordering up to the Maximum Ordering Limitation. The selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15 source selection procedures. Firm fixed price contracts will be awarded to the firms offering the best value to the Government. Non-price technical evaluation factors are significantly more important than price. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (other than exchanges conducted for the purpose of minor clarifications). However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The non-price factors are listed in descending order of importance: Prior Experience Past Performance Management Plan The approach to source selection for this procurement will be pursuant to the best value tradeoff concept as identified in FAR Part 15.101-1 and FAR Part 15.3. It is the government’s intention to award a contract to the offerors whose proposals conform to the Request For Proposal (RFP) requirements and are considered to be most advantageous to the government, price and technical factors considered. Competitive proposals shall be evaluated and assessed based on the factors specified in this solicitation. For this solicitation, the combined weight of the technical evaluation factors is significantly more important than price. The award will be made to the firm(s) that represents the best value to the government. In accordance with FAR 15.404, price analysis will be used to determine price reasonableness and the offeror’s understanding of the work requirements/line items (i.e. unreasonably high prices, as compared to other offers received and the Government Estimate, may indicate the offeror does not fully understand the requirements/line items of the RFP) and the ability to perform the contract. Project Bonding Capacity is not a technical or non-price factor. Project Bonding Capacity will be used as part of the responsibility determination to assess the offeror’s ability to provide an offer guarantee and performance and payment bonds sufficient to cover the maximum estimated value on an individual task order basis under this IDIQ contract. For this procurement, the amount to be covered by the bonding is $3 million aggregate. Failure to provide evidence of adequate bonding capacity will render the proposal unacceptable and will not be further evaluated. The letter shall address the bonding capacity for individual project bonding capacity. Offerors will be required to provide a letter from their bonding company with their proposal submission demonstrating their bonding capacity of an aggregate of $3,000,000.00. The complete solicitation package will only be available electronically on the Contract Opportunities website (www.sam.gov). It will be available on or about July 19, 2021. The solicitation closing date will be approximately 30 days after issuance of the solicitation package. The actual date and time will be identified in the solicitation.
