- Description
- LOCAL AREA WAGE DET SF-1449 BID PACKAGE The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), in cooperation with Guam Department of Agriculture (GDA), is conducting a program to eradicate the coconut rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros, that dispersed from an exotic introduction in the Tumon Bay area of Guam. The coconut rhinoceros beetle is a serious exotic pest of palm trees and also attacks other hosts of agricultural and horticultural significance. The program is needed to eliminate the pest risk from the infested areas of Guam, where it has been detected, and to prevent the spread of coconut rhinoceros beetle to other areas of Guam and other parts of the United States. This will be a firm fixed price contract for a base period of 8 months and 4 possible option years. All pricing to include any and all costs but not limited to: overhead, general and administrative costs, profit, licensing/certification and transportation. • Contractor must be able to provide immediate fumigation services. • Must have sufficient methyl bromide fumigants available to complete a large scope of work such as this. • Must be ready to conduct fumigations of host materials immediately to prevent further infestations. • Must be prepared to perform services "on call" on an as needed basis throughout the proposed contract period per statement of work. Evaluation-Commercial Items. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. Options. - The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes based on estimated line items for base and option periods by adding the total price for all lines 001 - 005 for the total price. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). At this time; we are unable to determine the total amount of area that will require fumigation this fiscal year. We have an existing back log of up to 27,000 cubic feet that should have been fumigated months ago. With nine months remaining in the fiscal year the project could generate that much again. Actual fumigation volume can decrease by up to 50% due to reduction by chipping and other factors and increased due to required stand off space vs stack size. The rough estimation of area needed to be fumigated during the contract period is 33,333 cubic feet. Submit faxed quotations to Purchasing Section ag (612) 336-3554, Attention Carol Dingess. Quotations are due by January 28, by 4:30pm Central time. Simplified Acquisition Procedures will be used per FAR 12. A firm Fixed Price indefinite delivery type contract will be awarded.
