Maximum Ordering Limitation (MOL): The aggregate MOL shall be $7.5 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 to all locations, owned and leased, as identified below. Performance Location(s): Government owned and leased facilities located in the state of Maryland. Additional work may be negotiated outside of Maryland if determined to be in the best interest of the Government. General Description of Scope of Services: Repair and alteration construction services 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 performance locations identified above, GSA Region 3 PBS intends to award 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 19.8 and FAR 6.204. 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 eligible for a minimum guarantee of $2,500.00 for the base year of each contract if certain conditions are met in accordance with the solicitiation. The aggregate maximum order limitation (MOL) shall be $7.5 million for the entire duration of all contracts awarded as a result of the solicitation. There is no single MOL per contractor nor is there a single MOL per year. Anticipated Ordering Procedures (ie Requests for Proposals at the task order level): The individual orders to be placed under the contracts will generally range in value from $2,000.00 to $250,000.00. However, there may be individual orders with lower or higher costs placed against the contract, if it is in the Governments 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. Incorporating RS Means into the Solicitation: The Government anticipates issuing task orders using RS Means pricing, including any updates to RS Means pricing which will most likely occur yearly, via application of a contractor provided bid coefficient factor. The bid coefficient shall be constant through the life of the contract (including for follow-on option years). Each Contractor shall submit one (1) locality factor to cover the geographic area for this Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Delivery contract: - Locality Factor 1 (Maryland, entire state) Requests for Proposals at the task order level will include RS Means line items, a statement of work and a project building location. Proposals will consist of using the RS Means Line Items Cost Data multiplied by the contractor provided bid coefficient factor (ie locality bid factor) as mentioned above. The Government anticipates awarding projects at the task order level based on low price. Task order level projects will generally range between $2,000 - $250,000. Note: Even though contractor bid coefficients will remain constant through the life of the contract (including follow-on option years), contractors may discount proposed pricing below their accepted bid coefficient at the task order level in order to compete for individual task orders. However, pricing may not exceed each awardees proposed and accepted bid coeficient on the task order level. Best Value: 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. 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, listed in descending order of importance, are: 1. Prior Experience on Relevant Projects, 2. Past Performance on Relevant Projects, and 3. 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 governments intention to award a contract to the offerors whose proposals conform to the solicitation requirements and are most advantageous to the government, price and technical factors considered. Competitive proposals shall be evaluated and assessed based on the factors specified in the solicitation. For this solicitation, the combined weight of the technical evaluation factors is significantly more important than price. Price Evaluation (for the IDIQ Contract): Offerors shall submit a signed bid/offer for the locality Bid Factors identified above. A bid coefficient is a multiplier on the total cost of the RS Means Line Items. This is similar to a Job Order Contracting (JOC) coefficient. The bid coefficient shall be an all inclusive multiplier as stipulated in the solicitation. 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 offerors understanding of the work requirements/line items (i.e. unreasonably high prices, as compared to other offers received, may indicate the offeror does not fully understand the requirements/line items of the solicitation) and the ability to perform the contract.
