Project Description:
The purpose of this solicitation is to award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide a variety of construction work throughout Okinawa, Japan. MATOC program is defined as an IDIQ contract entered into with two (2) or more sources pursuant to the same solicitation. The envisioned MATOC program is a firm-fixed price (FFP), IDIQ contract that provides a Design-Build (D-B) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) vehicle for the execution of a broad range of Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) construction work to support U.S. Government facilities in Okinawa, Japan. Contractors will be expected to accomplish a wide variety of construction tasks involving multiple engineering/construction disciplines and trades, to include the likelihood of design and/or support of design for SRM projects. During the life of the contract, projects will be identified as task orders and will be competed amongst those successful contractor(s) who receive a basic contract under the MATOC.
SRM construction work includes renovation, maintenance, repair, restoration, and alteration of existing facilities, but may also include major repairs and limited new construction within projects. Work may also entail the restoration, sustainment and/or modernization of water lines, sewer lines, roadways, building exteriors, roofing, building interiors, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems and components, refrigeration systems, fire suppression systems, fuel pipelines, storage systems, distribution and utilization systems (including lightning), power generators and Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS), or the abatement and disposal of asbestos, lead-based paint, and petroleum-contaminated material.
Definitions:
Sustainment. Sustainment means the maintenance and repair activities necessary to keep an inventory of facilities in good working order. Work includes regular roof replacement, refinishing of wall surfaces, repairing and replacement of heating and cooling systems, replacing tile and carpeting, and similar types of work.
Restoration. Restoration means the restoration of real property to such a condition that it may be used for its designated purpose. Restoration includes repair or replacement work to restore facilities damaged by inadequate sustainment, excessive age, natural disaster, fire, accident, or other causes.
Modernization. Modernization activities involve the alteration or replacement of facilities solely to implement new or higher standards (including regulatory changes); to accommodate new functions; or to replace building components that typically last more than 50 years (such as foundations and structural elements).
No projects utilizing Military Construction (MILCON) funding are included under this MATOC.
**Revised: Individual task orders are anticipated to range between ¥60,000,000 - ¥1,200,000,000 (JPY). The total program value is not to exceed $245M (USD) over the ordering period.The maximum ordering capacity use will be calculated based on the U.S. dollar obligations for each task order, modification and minimum guarantees awarded on the MATOC, as indicated by the accounting and appropriation data of the funds used for each contract action.
**Revised: This MATOC Program will have a five (5)-year ordering period, with a ¥350,000 Japanese Yen minimum guarantee to be obligated at the time each Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) is awarded.
