View moreThe Savannah District (SAS) intends to solicit and award a MATOC on an unrestricted basis and in accordance with the procedures at FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii) in which award will be made to all qualifying offerors. A qualifying offeror is defined in FAR 2.101 as: “an offeror that is determined to be a responsible source, submits a technically acceptable proposal that conforms to the requirements of the solicitation, and the Contracting Officer has no reason to believe would be likely to offer other than fair and reasonable pricing.” Price will be a selection factor for all orders placed under the awarded contracts. Under this MATOC, hybrid firm-fixed price (FFP) Task Orders with cost-plus fixed fee (CPFF) elements are anticipated due to the uncertainty and volatility surrounding the cost of the fuel required to power the generators. FAR 16.103(b) states a firm-fixed-price contract, which best utilizes the basic profit motive of business enterprise, shall be used when the risk involved is minimal or can be predicted with an acceptable degree of certainty. Due to the nature of well-defined performance-based objectives and standards which will be provided at the Task Order level for these services, the risk associated with this well-defined work is low and therefore, USACE will utilize a firm-fixed price contract type for that portion of the work. However, the total cost for the Task Order-level power generation requirements is also heavily dependent on fuel costs, therefore fuel costs are the highest cost risk. The petroleum market has been volatile, with large swings in cost in recent history. As a result, the use of both FFP and CPFF elements at the Task Order level aids in the reduction of cost risks to the Government and is further mitigated in two ways.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, issued this draft solicitation to establish a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for power system stabilization and power generation services in Puerto Rico. Authorized under disaster declaration FEMA-4671-DR-PR, the acquisition addresses infrastructure impacts caused by Hurricane Fiona. The primary scope includes temporary emergency power augmentation and repairs to generation facilities. Specific requirements involve providing land-based temporary generating units capable of using dual fuel (LNG and diesel), temporary transformers, control cabling, and equipment installation. Contractors will also manage operations, maintenance, fueling, and technical coordination with PREPA and LUMA regarding operation schedules and equipment connections.
This procurement is classified under NAICS 221112 for Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation and PSC W061 for Lease or Rental of Equipment- Electric Wire and Power Distribution Equipment. The MATOC features a shared capacity of $5 billion over a five-year ordering period. Because of market volatility regarding fuel costs, task orders are anticipated to be hybrid firm-fixed price with cost-plus fixed fee elements. The government intends to award contracts on an unrestricted basis to all qualifying offerors who are determined to be responsible, submit technically acceptable proposals conforming to solicitation requirements, and offer fair and reasonable pricing.
