This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. It is the government's intention to award this requirement using FAR Part 13 procedures. This is a total small business set-aside procurement. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.
Title/Description: Route Surveillance Site Survey for Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota and Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. The contractor shall physically survey both Minot and Whiteman Air Force Bases (AFBs) to determine the level of effort and costs associated with covering camera gaps along nuclear convoy routes and nuclear laden aircraft parking areas as stated in the Statement of Work at Attachment 1.
Scope: The contractor shall conduct a comprehensive physical survey of both Minot and Whiteman AFBs in order to evaluate the current communications and electrical infrastructure required to support the installation of a video surveillance system. The proposed system shall provide complete video coverage of the primary and secondary convoy routes, the flight line area to include taxi-ways and gaps, and the mass parking areas used for the nuclear generation of aircraft. The survey report (including both locations) shall be completed and submitted to HQ ACC/A7SON within ten (10) business days of completing the surveys. The survey report shall at a minimum, include the detailed survey results, site design, a quote to install such a system at each location, a quote on maintenance contract support to such a system, and a milestone chart for completion of each system. The report shall also include an equipment listing detailing all of the items necessary for the installation and support of the system (including a breakout of the individual costs) at each location. The contractor will be given the option of which installation (Minot or Whiteman) he/she chooses to begin performance or may start the surveys simultaneously.
Evaluation Criteria: Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA): Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
(a) Technical Capability;
(b) Price
Offerors must meet the technical capability criteria by having an approved "Air Force Authority to Operate" or equivalent accreditation/certification to stream data across an Air Force base intranet and the ability to actually incur costs by initiating performance prior to 1 October, 2008. The Government will evaluate offerors technical capability as a "pass" or "fail" based on whether or not the offeror possesses the required accreditation/certification and the ability to actually incur costs by initiating performance prior to 1 October 2008. Any contractor without the proper accreditation/certification or the ability to begin performance by this stated time period will not be considered for award. Those offerors found to possess the required accreditation/certification and the ability to start performance prior to 1 October, 2008 shall then be evaluated on the price of their proposals.
The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date.
