The aggregate not-to-exceed amount for this IDIQ contract will be $175M and this contract capacity will be shared amongst the MATOC contractors. The contracts will have a five (5) year base period with a single two (2) year option period. Exercise of options is at the Government's discretion. The project size for Task Orders under this MATOC are anticipated to be between $250,000.00 and $7,000,000.00, and the average project duration is expected to be between six months to two years. Based on previous similar contracts, the occurrence of Task Orders may be frequent, especially in emergency situations, and during the 3rd and 4th quarters of the Government’s fiscal year.
The purpose of this MATOC will be to support primarily general construction activities at JBLM and its sub-installations, including but not limited to: renovation, repairs, minor building expansions and pre-engineered buildings (not to exceed the statutory limit for new construction), preventative maintenance, environmental abatement, erosion control and earthwork. Similarly, the Task Orders under this MATOC are primarily intended to provide a timely procurement response to general construction work such as remediation of facilities, e.g., maintenance, repair, asbestos and lead-based paint abatement, and minor construction situations relating to but not limited to: civil, mechanical, plumbing, structural, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), and anti-terrorism and force protection.
The MATOC may also be used for Task Orders expected to require some incidental design effort by the Contractor, to include, but not be limited to: fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, HVAC system installation and balancing, communications systems, structural design of minor facilities or components and licensed professional engineer certification of site adaptation of pre-engineered structures.
Task Orders issued under this MATOC may also include the following types of work incidental to the project: environmental abatement, erosion control, earthwork, mechanical work, plumbing work, system testing, requirements for anti-terrorism and force protection (ATFP), LEED, LID, EISA, EPAct, and historical building renovations.
Under individual Task Orders awarded against the MATOC, the Contractor would be required to provide all plant, labor, tools, equipment and materials (unless indicated otherwise in the specifications) to perform all work in strict accordance with the Base Contract and individual Task Order requirements. The Contractor will be required to maintain a local management office in order to receive Request for Proposals (RFPs), sign Task Orders, Notices to Proceed (NTP), process modifications, receive and initiate various contract correspondence, and to provide other engineering and construction management services related to accomplishing individual Task Orders.
