Description:

This constitutes a Request for Proposal (RFP), for a new indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract for construction, repair, and alteration, with design-build and incidental abatement services. The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Greater Southwest Region 7, Acquisition Management Division is the office soliciting and will administer the resulting contracts.

In accordance with FAR 52.219-6, this procurement is set aside exclusively for Small Business concerns.

Performance Location:

Counties and parishes within the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas (Region 7).

General Description of Scope of Services:

This contract is to provide general construction, repair, and alteration, with design-build and incidental abatement services. The NAICS code for this procurement is 236220 with a size standard of $39.5 million.

This will be a firm fixed price multiple award contract. This PBS Region has been organized into twelve geographic zones. Awards will be staggered by zone, potentially two zones at a time. All work to be acquired under the contracts will be accomplished by the issuance of individual task orders. The individual task orders to be placed under the contracts will range in dollar value from approximately $2,000 to $5,000,000; however, project values will NOT be equally spread over this range. The Maximum Order Limitation (MOL) for a contract which is primary in only the Small Projects Pool shall be $2,000,000 aggregate for all task orders for each annual period of performance, for each contract, for each zone. The Maximum Order Limitation (MOL) for a contract which is primary in only the Large Projects Pool shall be $6,000,000 aggregate for all task orders for each annual period of performance, for each contract, for each zone. A contract which is primary in both project pools will have a MOL of $8,000,000 aggregate for all task orders for each annual period of performance, for each contract, for each zone. These contracts will be solicited as one (1) year contracts, with four (4) separate one (1) year option periods, for a total potential contract period not to exceed five (5) years. Facilities covered under the scope of this contract include Government owned and leased facilities in counties or parishes within the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Services will be required under these contracts on an as-needed basis up to a single task order limit of $5,000,000. Task orders will be prepared based on defined scopes of work for specific projects and issued as firm-fixed price tasks orders.

The base IDIQ contracts will be acquired using Source Selection procedures as identified in FAR 15.3 with a firm-fixed price award to the offerors who provide the best value to the Government. Offerors will be evaluated based on technical merit and price proposals. For this procurement, technical evaluation factors, when combined, are significantly more important than total evaluated price. The trade-off process under the best value approach will be used. The technical evaluation factors in descending order of importance are: 1. Past Performance and 2. Hypothetical Projects.

The Government's intent is to award five (5) to seven (7) IDIQ contracts per zone, to offerors who submit a proposal which will provide the best value to the Government in terms of technical qualifications and price; however, the Government reserves the right to award more or fewer contracts per zone as determined to be necessary.

The Government intends to make award without discussion. Therefore, offerors are requested to submit their initial proposals to the Government on the most favorable terms based on technical and price factors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

The solicitation package (offer forms, attachments, clauses, and provisions) is available only electronically on sam.gov. Potential offerors are responsible for downloading the solicitation and attachments, and for monitoring the website for possible amendments and/or additional information. A pre-proposal conference will be conducted at the date and time identified in the solicitation package.
