  1. Thank you for your responses. So, if I understand correctly, no one who responded believes that a seed project is required when soliciting for IDIQ contracts for General Construction? Use of a seed project is simply one method of evaluating price, not the required method?
  2. I am crafting a solicitation which will result in award of up to five IDIQ Contracts for General Construction. I'm told my solicitation requires a Seed Project. I cannot find anything that sets forth this requirement. Is this something unique to construction? I understand my agency uses Seed Projects as a method of evaluating price but I wonder if there are other, more meaningful, methods of satisfying this requirement. Any ideas?
  3. A recent solicitation for Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Contracts for General Construction was written and is in the review stages. Note that any task order awarded under any resulting contract will be for construction greater than $500K. Regarding payment of the minimum guarantee, the solicitation stated, "The contract minimum guarantee is $2500 per contract and is applicable to the base year of performance only. All contractors receiving award, with the exception of the contractor receiving a Task Order for the Seed Project, will have $2500 obligated on their base contract to cover the Minimum Guarantee. If the contractor receives a Task Order, a unilateral modification will be issued to deobligate the minimum guarantee from the base contract. If the contractor does not receive a Task Order prior to contract expiration, they may submit an invoice for the minimum guarantee amount immediately following the expiration of the contract.". One of the reviewers indicated that the last sentence is incorrect and that, should the contractor not receive a Task Order, they must submit a request for equitable adjustment in accordance with the Disputes Clause, rather than an invoice. Has anyone ever seen payment of a minimum guarantee handled in such a way? I maintain that the reviewer is incorrect if, for no other reason, that the Disputes Clause states "a voucher, invoice or other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a claim under the Act". How can invoicing for something that was guaranteed and properly obligated on their contract be a dispute? Since I must provide a written response to the reviewer regarding my disagreement I was hoping I might find something on this discussion forum. Thoughts?
