- Description
- NO AWARD - It has been determined that it is not in the Government's best interest to make award from this solicitation. The requirement documents will be reviewed in order for the Government to determine the appropriate path forward. A similar solicitation may be issued at a later date. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) - Contracting and General Services (CGS) Region 1, located at 911 NE 11th Avenue; Portland, OR 97232, is issuing a Solicitation for Construct a Pest-Proof Fence at Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) - Kihei, Maui, Hawaii. THE WORK CONSISTS OF: (Refer to the Statement of Objectives [SOO] for Additional Information) Contractor shall design and install a mongoose, cat, dog, and ungulate-proof fencing around approximately 700 acres at Kealia Pond NWR. Fencing will act as an effective, long-term barrier to the entrance of non-flighted mammalian pests around the entire perimeter of the wetland. The procurement includes three separately-priced construction phases. Each phase shall meet all performance objectives and constraints as indicated in the SOO. The three phases are as follows: Phase 1 - Retrofit or replace approximately 2.25 miles of existing, galvanized steel fencing. Fencing shall cross three (3) streams. Fencing shall have one (1) vehicle access gate. Phase 2 - Design and install approximately 1.21 miles of new fencing along the Refuge boundary to two endpoints in permanent freshwater areas. Fencing shall include one (1) pedestrian access and one (1) main vehicle access gate. Phase 3 (Option) - Design and install approximately 1.31 miles of new fencing on the southern Refuge boundary that runs along North Kihei Road. Fencing shall include one (1) pedestrian access gate for Refuge Staff use only. EVALUATION: (Refer to Sections L & M for Additional Information) The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e. best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government. Offerors are cautioned that the award may not be necessarily made to the lowest-priced or highest technically-rated offeror. The Tradeoff Source Selection Process shall be utilized. There will be three (3) non-cost factors: Technical Solution, Recent Relevant Experience, and Past Performance. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than Acceptable must be achieved for Technical Solution and Recent Relevant Experience. In addition, a rating of no less than Satisfactory Confidence or Unknown Confidence (Neutral) must be achieved for Past Performance. All evaluation factors (i.e. Technical Solution, Recent Relevant Experience, and Past Performance) other than Cost / Price, when combined, are approximately equal to Cost / Price. In addition, Recent Relevant Experience and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly less important than Technical Solution. Lastly, Recent Relevant Experience is approximately equal to Past Performance. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors, except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a); therefore, the offerors initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the contracting officer later determines them to be necessary.
