SABER V Hill AFB

This document provides clarification on the Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) solicitation (Notice ID FA820126R0020) for Hill Air Force Base, Utah, issued by the Department of the Air Force. Due to initial clerical and numbering errors, the previous solicitation (FA820126R1004) has been cancelled and replaced by FA820126R0020. Consequently, the proposal deadline has been extended to November 5, 2026, at 4:30 pm MST. Key clarifications include the confirmation that eligible 8(a) offerors from contiguous states do not need to reapply for a Bona Fide Place of Business (BFPB) determination if their current one remains valid; however, prime contractors must meet a mandatory 60-minute in-person response requirement. The anticipated task order range is $50,000 to $5,000,000, with a $500 minimum. For proposal structure, the past performance volume is capped at three pages per highlighted contract (nine pages total), and CPARS will be used for evaluation. Seed project material submittals and conceptual drawings must be listed on an AF IMT 3000 and placed in Volume II; these, along with a newly required detailed narrative, are excluded from the 50-page technical limit. The bid guarantee of 20% is based on a $3,000,000 seed project bid price rather than the overall contract value. Finally, due to capacity limits, subcontractor representatives cannot attend the initial September 15, 2026 site visit but may schedule separate walks prior to the proposal deadline.

This federal Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) Amendment #1, issued by the Air Force Sustainment Center at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, solicits firm-fixed-price proposals for Capital Project No. 1145899, titled Building 586 "Repair Restroom and Drains." The estimated magnitude of this Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) task order is between $250,000 and $500,000, with a performance period of 150 calendar days after the Notice-to-Proceed. The task order will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation process. To be deemed technically acceptable, offerors must submit a detailed technical proposal, including a project-specific Management Plan detailing key personnel resumes, a conceptual drawing, a Gantt chart, and a bid guarantee of 20 percent of the bid price. The technical proposal must specifically address "Heavy Hitters" in SOW Sections 5, 7, and 8, and outline the utilization of a part-time superintendent. Proposals must also include a completed pricing schedule generated via e4Clicks software, confirming that professional labor rates do not exceed the basic IDIQ contract's Not-to-Exceed limits. Liquidated damages are established at $439.20 per calendar day for late completion. Questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted to the designated points of contact by September 25, 2026.
