The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Fort Drum, NY is seeking to identify multiple Small Businesses with the interest and resources to enter into a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for General Construction Services under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The small business size standard for this industry is $45 million in average annual revenue. The Product Service Code is Z2QA Repair or Alteration of Real Property (Public or Private). MICC-Fort Drum anticipates procuring construction projects valued between the Micro-purchase Threshold ($2,000.00) and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($250,000.00) on a competitive basis through the BPA for General Construction Services.
Construction projects under the BPA would include but not be limited to the following: Provide all necessary resources, management, personnel, materials, supervision, transportation, supplies, and all equipment, except Government Furnished Property (GFP) to facilitate all phases of work in connection with various general construction projects on Fort Drum, NY. This would include new work, additions, alterations and maintenance and repair of real property facilities and structures. Insurance is required for these types of projects; and information on required insurance amounts will be included in the Statement of Work.
The total estimated value of BPA construction projects is $15,000,000.00 with an estimated 35 projects each fiscal year with an average value of $75,000.00. Contractors with a BPA must be capable of obtaining the payment bonds required for construction projects valued between $35,000.00 and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($250,000.00). Contractors unable to meet this bonding requirement will not be considered for issuance of a BPA. Where site visits are offered and attended, the prime BPA Contractor must represent themselves (subcontractors cannot represent a prime contractor on site visits or in response to any request for information or quote). BPA contractors shall comply with FAR 52.222-6 Construction Wage Rate Requirements (formerly Davis-Bacon Act). Each project will be competitively procured, and the Government will incorporate the most current Davis Bacon wage determination in effect at time of award. Davis Bacon wage determinations are located at https://sam.gov/content/wage-determinations.
In accordance with FAR Part 36.211 Distribution of Advance Notices and Solicitations, contractors are required to submit requests for equitable adjustment as a result of change orders to the issuing Contracting Officer. Contractors are required to acknowledge the change order within 30 days and are to submit their request for adjustment which includes all supporting documents as soon as possible, but not later than the required completion date of the contract. In the attached full synopsis, a table is included which displays the agency’s past performance, for the period of three fiscal years, regarding the time required to definitize equitable adjustments for change orders under construction contracts.
When establishing these BPAs, the Government will consider price and socio-economic status. BPAs will be evaluated annually and may remain in place for up to five (5) years. Annual review of BPAs will be performed to determine whether the Government is receiving fair and reasonable pricing, usage, and participation, which may result in either continuing the BPA or early discontinuation. Early discontinuation may result if the Government no longer has a requirement for the general construction services provided by the Contractor. MICC-Fort Drum anticipates a maximum of 10 contractors holding a BPA for general construction services. A list of interested vendors will be maintained.
The Contractor must be registered in Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) for contract payment. To register and access WAWF, go to https://piee.eb.mil/. As prescribed in DFARS 252.204-7007, interested parties must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) under NAICS Code 236220.
