I.  Acquisition Background

A.  Description of Requirement:  Summarize construction project.

B.  Conditions:  Describe any known cost, schedule, and capability or performance constraints.  Plan shall address availability of facility for construction, personnel relocation, if applicable, coordination or interference with any other projects in the same building or location going on simultaneously, and security considerations.

C.  Background and Acquisition History:  Describe contracting history of exact or similar requirement, including previous contract type and dollar value.  While there might not be an exact project, most likely there will be something similar.  Research those projects for information on (1) extent of competition, (2) any problems or difficulties encountered, etc.  

D.  Funding:  Describe availability of funding (funded, advance/straddle, special straddle, or other), expiration of funds, use of advance contracting authority described in AFFARS MP5332.7, and any statutory cost limitations, etc. If IDIQ contract, address funding of contract minimum or seed project.  Obligation Adjustment Reporting System (OARS):  Describe if OARS applies, the need for proper justification, the scope determination, which will track the approval, and the need to keep all members informed during the coordination process.

E.  Delivery or Performance Period:  Describe performance-requirements.  When determining the performance period, consider the nature and complexity of the project, construction season, and phasing requirements.  If incorporating optional quantities, the plan must describe the performance period for each optional CLIN to include consideration of mobilization and/or demobilization activities, progressive flow of construction activities, and anticipated receipt of funding. Normally, the option to purchase additional requirements will not extend past 90 calendar days from date of award.  Plan will address these additional areas:  Bond delivery period, notice to proceed NLT date, start work NLT date, material submittal period, material submittal review period.  

F.  Risks:  Identify any technical, cost, schedule or performance risks that may affect either the Government or contractor. Identify what efforts you intend to use to mitigate these risks.  Include delays possible because of OARS approval delays.  This paragraph will never be addressed as a "not-applicable or none."  If there are risks, discuss them.  If there are no risks, need to say why there are no risks.
