ADE’s not providing benefit to the Government may result in rejection of the Offeror as unacceptable. This does not count against the page count in any volume.

g) Alternate Proposal – The Government will not permit alternate Proposals.

h) Brochures and Documentation – Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

i) Discussions (if required) – Any changes that result from discussions with the Offeror shall be accomplished by submission of amended page(s). Changes from the original page shall be indicated by a vertical line, adjacent to the change, on the outside margin of the page.

L.5 FACTOR III – PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government will conduct an in-depth review of contractor’s past performance information.

This review will be based on information provided via the Past Performance Questionnaire

(PPQ) “Attachment D” by the offerors references not later than the date and time specified in the solicitation for receipt of proposals. Part 1 shall be completed by the offeror and Part 2 shall be completed by the offeror's reference. To be considered for award, completed past performance questionnaires shall be emailed to the designated contract specialist. If the contractor has no past performance history that is similar in size and scope of the proposed solicitation, the contractor shall note this in his or her proposal. Technical Capabilities and Past Performance are equal, and, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.

The contractor shall provide a Relevancy Survey (Attachment N) in Volume III for each Past

Performance project being submitted. The Relevancy Survey shall include a description of each project including, the size, scope, cost, and complexity associated with the entities furnishing responses to the FBI's PPQ. This description shall include the name, company, address, and phone number of the individual reference the offeror has sent the PPQ to. The contractor may also provide the overall outcome of the project(s) and any issues and how they were resolved.

This Volume limited to a page limitation of two (2) pages per project referenced for past performance.

The Past Performance Evaluation is accomplished by reviewing aspects of an offeror's present and past performance focusing on recency, relevancy, and quality. The Government reserves the right to use any and all other sources of information available to assess past performance including but not limited to CPARS, SAM, PPIRS and FAPIIS.

For purposes of this evaluation, relevancy is defined as construction work completed or ongoing during the three (3) years prior to the issuance of this solicitation similar to size and scope of the proposed contract.

Offerors shall be given the opportunity to address any negative or derogatory past performance information received during this evaluation. The Government may request clarification of adverse or incomplete past performance information.

Responsive Offerors will receive an Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating based on the Offeror’s past and present performance as it relates to the probability of successfully accomplishing the required effort.

The Integrated Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating consists of three components:

recency of the Offeror’s past performance, relevancy of the Offeror’s past performance, and quality of the Offeror’s past performance.

(1) Recency: Past performance information submitted by the Offerors will meet the recency requirement by not having concluded more than three years prior to the issuance date of this solicitation. The Government will not consider past performance information on an effort that concluded more than three years prior to the issuance date of this solicitation.

(2) Relevancy: The criteria to receiving a relevancy rating is to be based partially on a minimum value performed by the Offeror equaling or exceeding the magnitude of construction identified for this solicitation.

(3) Quality: Recent and relevant past performance information submitted by the

Offerors will be evaluated for quality, timely performance, management effectiveness, contract administration, compliance with safety standards, and overall performance as reported on the PPQs and in PPIRS, in order to assess the

Offerors’ ability to successfully complete the requirements of this solicitation. A separate quality assessment rating is not required; rather, the Integrated Past

Performance Confidence Assessment Rating is based on the Offeror’s overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance.

(4) Unknown Past Performance: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). Therefore, the

Offeror will be determined to have unknown past performance and assigned a performance confidence rating of “Neutral.” The rating of “Neutral” confidence is treated neither favorable nor unfavorably.

Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror’s corrective actions.

Offerors are required to have past performance surveys completed by identified references and sent from the identified references, directly to the Contracting

Officer identified on the form, so that the surveys are received at the contracting office no later than the date and time established for receipt of proposals.

L.6 FACTOR IV– PRICE

The Offeror shall propose coefficient factors and multipliers, in accordance with Section B of this solicitation. The Offeror shall completely fill out all tables in the Excel Price Template for the IDIQ (see Attachment A), which will be incorporated in the IDIQ for the life of the contract.

Offerors are required to propose on all contract line items, for applicable FBI Service Areas, as solicited in the Price Schedule to be considered responsive to this RFP. As per provision 52.217-

5, Evaluation of Options, the Government shall evaluate all contract line items in determining the best value. Offerors shall explain the basis for development of the coefficients. The explanation shall, as a minimum, address the offeror’s perception of the accuracy of the unit price book (RS

Means Construction Procurement Catalog (CPC)) and the basis for any assumptions regarding expected volume (dollars) of work under the contract.

L.7 CONTRACT DOCUMENTATION – VOLUME VI

L.7.1 Executive Summary

The third description seems to ask the same questions once more in Section L.5. We would respectfully suggest that it would be better if Attachment N was submitted in Volume III as this attachment is essentially a 2 page project description and that Corporate experience in

Volume II be more focussed on the overall experience of the offeror rather than on the same projects used as demonstration of specific relevant experience.
