INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

SOLICITATION NO. W15QKN26QA122

*** THIS REQUIREMENT IS SET-ASIDE 100% FOR SMALL BUSINESS ***

*** THIS REQUIREMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 52.232-18 ***

This requirement is being solicited utilizing the procedures set forth in FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, and FAR Part 36, Construction Contracts.

1. Purpose and Project Estimate:
 

(a) Purpose: The purpose of this solicitation is to procure commercial construction services for the Renovation of Common Areas at the Single Soldier Unaccompanied Personnel Housing (UPH), Building 209, Fort Hamilton, NY, in support of the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton. The Contractor shall provide all plant, labor, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and transportation to accomplish the work described in the Statement of Work (SOW) DPW00004-6J.
 

(b) Project Estimate: For strategic planning and bonding capacity verification, the estimated price range for this project is between $100,000 and $250,000.

2. Contract Type, Period of Performance, and Administration Sequence:
 

(a) Contract Type: The Government intends to award a single, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Purchase Order.
 

(b) Period of Performance Definition: To establish a measurable and defensible timeline, the term "90 working days after the Pre-Construction meeting" as stated in Section 5 of the SOW is contractually defined as exactly 120 calendar days from receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP). This conversion provides a clear calendar baseline for contractor planning and project scheduling.
 

(c) Execution and Administration Sequence: Contract performance and post-award milestones shall be administered in the following sequence (Award, Bond, NTP, and Pre-Construction Meeting):

1. Contract Award: Purchase Order issued.
2. Bonding: Contractor submits Performance (SF 25) and Payment (SF 25A) Bonds within 10 calendar days of award, in accordance with FAR 52.228-15.
3. Notice to Proceed (NTP): Upon approval of bonds, the Government will issue the written NTP, which officially starts the 120-calendar-day PoP clock.
4. Pre-Construction Conference: The Government will schedule the Pre-Construction Conference to occur within 10 days of the Notice to Proceed.
5. Contractor Delay Mitigation: If the contractor fails to submit acceptable bonds or delays the coordination of post-award timelines, the Government reserves the right to issue the NTP unilaterally to initiate the PoP clock and protect the garrison's project schedule.

3. System for Award Management (SAM):

The Offeror must be registered and active in SAM (https://www.sam.gov/) with no active exclusions to be eligible for award.

4. Additional Instructions:

6. Site Visit and Field Verification (Pre-Award "Submittals"):
 

(a) A site visit is highly encouraged. In accordance with Section 3 of SOW DPW00004-6J, which requires that "Onsite inspection shall be performed prior to submittals, to verify measurements and field conditions," the term "submittals" is contractually defined as the submission of pre-award quotes.
 

(b) Offerors are required to verify all physical dimensions, quantities, and building conditions (including the 110 window screens, 160 L.F. of vinyl cove base, and 1,000 VLF of mortar joints) during the scheduled site visit.
