Y--IDIQ MACC FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR, AND RENOVATION OF VARIOUS WATERFRONT FACILITIES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS WITHIN THE NAVFAC SOUTHWEST AOR INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CALIFORNIA

This procurement is for a multiple award construction contract (MACC) and is being advertised on an unrestricted basis inviting full and open competition, with two or more contracts reserved for highly qualified small businesses, as permitted by FAR 19.502-4. This procurement uses the two-phase design-build selection procedures and consists of one solicitation covering both phases with the intent to award three or more Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction contracts to the responsible offerors whose proposals, conforming to the Request for Proposal (RFP), will be most advantageous to the Government resulting in the best value, price and other factors considered. Price evaluation preference will be given to HUBZone firms, in accordance with FAR 52.219-4. This is an IDIQ contract with no pre-established fixed contract prices. The actual amount of work to be performed and the time of such performance will be determined by the Contracting Officer or his properly authorized representative, who will issue written task orders to the contractor. Award of task orders will be on a firm fixed price basis. The work to be acquired under this solicitation is for new construction, repair, and renovation, by design-build or design-bid-build, of waterfront structures and dredging at various locations predominantly within the NAVFAC Southwest area of responsibility (AOR) including but not limited to California, but will be available to the NAVFAC Atlantic AOR as approved by the Contracting Officer. However, it is anticipated that the majority of the work will be performed in Southern California. Types of projects may include, but are not limited to: dredging and disposal, piers, wharves, quay walls, bulkheads, relieving platforms, cellular structures, dry docks/caissons, break waters, fixed moorings, docks and marinas, pile driving, primary and secondary fender systems, sheet piles, and sea walls. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990, and the annual size standard is $36.5 million. The basic contract period will be for 12 months. Each contract contains four (4) 12-month options for a total maximum duration of 60 months. The estimated maximum dollar value, including the base year and all options, for all contracts combined is $240,000,000. The only work authorized under this contract is work ordered by the government through issuance of a task order. Task orders will range between $50,000 and $20,000,000. Task orders may fall below or above this limit; however, contractors are not obligated to accept such task orders under the general terms of the contract. Each task order issued under this MACC valued at $10,000,000 or less will be set aside for the small business MACC holders whenever the rule of two is satisfied for that task order. If the rule of two cannot be satisfied on a task order valued at $10,000,000 or less, the task order will be solicited to the entire MACC contractor pool. The government makes no representation as to the number of task orders or actual amount of work to be ordered; however, during the term of the contract, a minimum of $5,000 is guaranteed to be ordered from each awardee, under the performance period of the contract. Contractors are not guaranteed work in excess of the minimum guarantee. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contract(s) without discussions. Selection for award will be based on evaluation of the following: Phase One: Factor 1 - Technical Approach, Factor 2 - Experience, Factor 3 - Past Performance, and Factor 4 - Safety; Phase Two: Factor 5 - Technical Solution, Factor 6 - Small Business Utilization, and Factor 7 - Price (based on Proposed Task Order 0001). Source Selection procedures will be used, and award may be made to the offeror whose proposal is the most advantageous and offers the best value to the government, price and other factors considered. No site visit will be held, and no pre-proposal conference will be conducted. THE SOLICITATION WILL BE AVAILABLE IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT ONLY.
