This procurement is for a multiple award construction contract (MACC) and is being advertised on an unrestricted basis inviting full and open competition. This procurement will use the two-phase design-build selection procedure which will consist of one solicitation covering both phases with the intent to award approximately eight (8) 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 Small Business concerns, 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/her 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, renovation, and/or repair, by design-build or design-bid-build, of waterfront facilities at various Government installations located in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. However, it is anticipated that the majority of the work will be performed in California. Examples of relevant construction projects are construction projects similar in scope to: piers, wharves, quay walls, magnetic silencing facilities, bulkheads, sea walls, dry docks, boat ramps, docks and marinas, shore protection systems, rip rap, breakwaters, wave attenuation, mooring dolphins, buoys, primary and secondary fendering, pile driving, sheet piles, camels, separators, brows, gangways, dredging and disposal, all utilities for marine operations and other waterfront structures (both in and above water) related to waterfront operations (such as unexploded ordinance, crane rails, security, all applicable Federal, State, and local regulatory/environmental requirements, etc.) to support Navy vessels and port operations. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and the annual size standard is $45 million. The MACC will consist of one base period of two (2) years and three (3) one year option periods for a total maximum duration of five (5) years. The estimated price range, including the base and option periods, for all contracts combined is over $750,000,000. 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 $100,000,000. 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. 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 $1,000 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 (based on Proposed Task Order 0001); Factor 6 - Small Business Utilization and Participation; and Factor 7 - Price (based on Proposed Task Order 0001). Source Selection procedures will be used and award may be made to the offeror(s) whose proposal is the most advantageous and offers the best value to the government, price and other factors considered.
