- NA Point of Contact, Vernon Vann, 817-886-1049 One or two (2) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF) Contracts that will, collectively, provide for performance of the full range of services, primarily in the country of Iraq, including but not be limited to: extingui shing oil fires; environmental assessments; environmental clean-up at oil sites; assessing the condition of all elements of the infrastructure; engineering design and construction necessary to restore the infrastructure to a safe operating condition; maint enance of oil fields, including technical assistance in the performance of reservoir management, production engineering, in-field drilling, facilities engineering, and maintenance; pipeline maintenance; maintenance of refineries; providing life support res ources and facilities for government and contractor personnel deployed in Iraq; procurement and importation of fuel products; distribution of fuel products within Iraq; technical assistance in marketing and sale/export of Iraqi crude oil and refined produc ts; technical assistance and consulting services to the Iraqi Oil Companies; support continued and additional planning; and mission integration and management. The amount of work available to be done under these contracts depends on a number of factors outside the control of the contracting office. At the moment, the best projections of the contracting office show that little work will be available for award. H owever, this projection may be affected by a number of factors outside the control of the Corps of Engineers. These factors include the possibility of additional intentional damage to the Iraqi oil infrastructure from additional looting or intentional sab otage; potential delays in receiving the funds required to execute work necessary to repair the Iraqi Oil Infrastructure under the current contract; The speed with which the Iraqi Oil Companies are able to assume complete responsibility for their own opera tions; an existing political emphasis on having Iraqi workers and companies perform as much of the work as possible; political decisions which may be made affecting the role of the Corps of Engineers, DOD, or the U.S. in the government of Iraq; and the dat e on which a functioning interim Iraqi government assumes responsibilities for these operations. Since these contracts will be available to cover any contingencies which may occur and the Corps cannot predict the future with certainty, the proposed duration for the contracts awarded will be an initial base period of 24 months with three (3) one-year o ptions for a total of not-to-exceed 60 months. Based on current information and the current extent of damages, along with our plan to use Iraq labor force and Iraq capability to the maximum extent possible, there is a possibility that work required under each of these proposed contracts will range a minimum amount of $500,000 up to not more than $500,000,000 for the life of the contract. The minimum guaranteed amount for the base period is $500,000.00. It is the governments preference to award two contracts. However, if there does not appear to be a significant amount of work available to be done under the contract at the time of award, only one contract may be awarded. If two contracts are awarded, on e will have a unique statement of work supporting the North Oil Company and the other will have a unique statement of work supporting the South Oil Company. The geographic areas of the two contracts will not overlap. This project will be advertised as UNRESTRICTED. Companies from all countries qualifying under the Trade Agreements Act and Balance of Payments Act and companies from countries not qualifying under these Acts but which are members of the Coalition are eli gible to receive an award. The solicitation requirements will include, but not limited to, the following: (1) An established and approved accounting system that is adequate for determining costs applicable to a cost-reimbursement type of contract. This system must include methods for identifying and tracking the contractors indirect cost rates, etc; and all cost elements, including, but not limited to, overhead, general and administrative, base and award fee. (2)A Management Information System for project planning and execution that provides for: (a) planning and scheduling; (b) cost estimating, budgeting and accounting; (c) quality control; (d) procurement and material management; and, (e) other reports or dat a prescribed by the Government. (3) Established and approved procurement and purchasing procedures. (4) An established and approved Contractors Property Control System. (5) Subcontracting Plan that satisfies the requirements of FAR clause 52.219-9. This is a best value negotiated acquisition. All contracts will be awarded based upon the Best Value to the Government. Procurement consideration will be given to cost, technical, schedule, and other salient factors included in the solicitation. Subcont ractors responsible for any of the identified services must be identified in the proposals and their technical capability will be considered along with the technical capability of the offerors. The basic form of the contract will be an IDIQ cost plus award fee contract. However, it is possible that some task orders will be issued on a firm fixed price basis. Funds are not presently available for this contract. The award of this contract is contingent upon the availability of funds.
