View moreThe Savannah District (SAS) intends to solicit and award a MATOC on an unrestricted basis and in accordance with the procedures at FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii) in which award will be made to all qualifying offerors. A qualifying offeror is defined in FAR 2.101 as: “an offeror that is determined to be a responsible source, submits a technically acceptable proposal that conforms to the requirements of the solicitation, and the Contracting Officer has no reason to believe would be likely to offer other than fair and reasonable pricing.” Price will be a selection factor for all orders placed under the awarded contracts. Under this MATOC, hybrid firm-fixed price (FFP) Task Orders with cost-plus fixed fee (CPFF) elements are anticipated due to the uncertainty and volatility surrounding the cost of the fuel required to power the generators. FAR 16.103(b) states a firm-fixed-price contract, which best utilizes the basic profit motive of business enterprise, shall be used when the risk involved is minimal or can be predicted with an acceptable degree of certainty. Due to the nature of well-defined performance-based objectives and standards which will be provided at the Task Order level for these services, the risk associated with this well-defined work is low and therefore, USACE will utilize a firm-fixed price contract type for that portion of the work. However, the total cost for the Task Order-level power generation requirements is also heavily dependent on fuel costs, therefore fuel costs are the highest cost risk. The petroleum market has been volatile, with large swings in cost in recent history. As a result, the use of both FFP and CPFF elements at the Task Order level aids in the reduction of cost risks to the Government and is further mitigated in two ways.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District is issuing a draft solicitation for a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) to provide power system stabilization and power generation services in Puerto Rico. This acquisition, identified under solicitation number W912HN23R5005, is authorized under disaster declaration FEMA-4671-DR-PR to address impacts caused by Hurricane Fiona. The primary scope includes temporary emergency power augmentation and repairs to generation facilities, specifically involving the provision of land-based temporary generating units using dual LNG/diesel fuel, temporary transformers, control cabling, and equipment installation. Contractors will also be responsible for operations, maintenance, fueling, and coordination with PREPA and LUMA regarding operational schedules and equipment connections.
The MATOC has a total shared capacity of $5 billion and a five-year ordering period. Performance will occur in Puerto Rico under NAICS 221112 for Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation and PSC W061 for Lease or Rental of Equipment- Electric Wire and Power Distribution Equipment. The government intends to award contracts on an unrestricted basis to all qualifying offerors who are determined to be responsible, technically acceptable, and likely to offer fair and reasonable pricing. Task orders under this vehicle are expected to be hybrid firm-fixed price with cost-plus fixed fee elements to mitigate risks associated with volatile fuel costs.
The draft solicitation was published on March 7, 2023, with the most recent update and the attachment of a 130-page draft document occurring in May 2023. While the current response deadline is listed as May 12, 2023, the formal solicitation is anticipated for release on or about June 15, 2023, which will initiate a 30-day response period and provide access to the ProjNet bidder inquiry system. Jessica M. Stone is the designated point of contact for this requirement.
