The Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects.

Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

(d) The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Federal Contract Compliance, U.S. Department of Labor, within 10 working days following award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation.

(d) If the successful bidder, upon acceptance of its bid by the Government within the period specified for acceptance, fails to execute all contractual documents or furnish executed bond(s) within 10 days after receipt of the forms by the bidder, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract for default.

(e) In the event the contract is terminated for default, the bidder is liable for any cost of acquiring the work that exceeds the amount of its bid, and the bid guarantee is available to offset the difference.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 1

SECTION 00 11 00

PHASE ONE - PROPOSAL SUBMISSION AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

1.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

1.1 This is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 15 and 36, unrestricted, two-phase, design-build source selection. This solicitation requires the Design/Build Construction of the ACURL Reprogramming Facility at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. A competing prime construction contractor, hereinafter referred to as the “Offeror”, shall submit a proposal that includes the required submission information for Phase One as indicated below that demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to perform the work described in this solicitation. By submission of a proposal, the Offeror accedes to all the terms of this RFP.

1.2 The period of performance is as indicated in this solicitation. The approximate construction Programmed Amount (PA) for this contract is $23,000,000. It is the intent of the Government to award a single Firm Fixed- Price contract.

1.3 In Phase One, price is not a submission requirement. Proposals will be evaluated in Phase One to determine which Offerors will submit proposals for Phase Two. In Phase One, an Offeror must submit information regarding past performance, and a narrative discussing an overall management approach. Based on the results of Phase One, the Government intends to select a maximum of five (5) of the most highly rated Offerors to participate in the Phase Two competition. However, the Government reserves the right to reject any and/or all offers.

1.4 In Phase Two, Offerors will compete to determine which Offeror will be awarded the Firm Fixed-Price contract. For Phase Two, Offerors must submit information for a technical design and construction approach, key personnel, and small business approach. Offerors will also be required to provide pricing for the project. The Government reserves the right to reject any and/or all offers in Phase Two.

2.0 WHO MAY SUBMIT.

2.1 In Phase One, any responsible, interested, construction contractors may submit a proposal. For Phase-Two, only the Offerors that are selected in Phase-One to participate in Phase-Two will be allowed to submit a proposal.

2.2 Any design firm that participated in preparation of this solicitation, whether as a Government contractor or as a subcontractor to a Government contractor, is not eligible to participate in this solicitation as a prime contractor or subcontractor due to a conflict of interest. The Government considers such firms to have an unfair competitive advantage, and therefore will not consider such firms.

3.0 PHASE ONE - PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

3.1 Submit the electronic proposal package to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers via DoD SAFE (https://safe.apps.mil/) as indicated on the Standard Form 1442 (SF 1442) in this solicitation. The Government must receive your proposal no later than the time and date specified in Block 13 of SF 1442.

Any and all amendments to the solicitation shall be acknowledged by signing on each amendment (SF30) and by completing Block 19 of the SF 1442. To

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 2

confirm proposal receipt, you may call the Point of Contact listed on the

SF1442.

3.2 Submit your proposal as follows:

Submit one (1) electronic copy of the entire proposal (“Volume I and II”) in Portable Document File (PDF) format. Label the pdf “Volumes I and II”.

Submit one (1) electronic copy of Volume II in Portable Document File (PDF) format. Label the pdf “Volume II”.

Hard copies of Volumes I and II are not required to be submitted, and will not be accepted or evaluated. However, when formatting the PDF files the page size should be 8-1/2” x 11” for all pages except schedules and organizational charts, as applicable, which should be 11” x 17” (counts as one sheet toward page limitation).

3.3 To effectively and equitably evaluate proposals, the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) must receive information, in the order described below, that clearly describes an Offeror's capabilities to successfully execute design and construction in support of this project. It is therefore an Offeror’s responsibility to submit proposal information that is fully responsive to the submission requirements of this section. Offerors are responsible for organizing material sequentially under tabs and numbered pages as set out below to facilitate evaluation. Materials that are not properly organized may easily be overlooked during evaluations, possibly affecting an Offeror’s rating. Offers should be concise, addressing only the information outlined in this section.

4.0 PHASE ONE – EVALUATION CRITERIA.

4.1 There are two volumes required for Phase One. Volume I includes certain administrative requirements that are not rated. Volume II has three rated non-priced evaluation factors.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 3

(c) Submit an Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) Disclosure:

The Offeror shall provide a disclosure statement with its proposal that concisely describes all the relevant facts concerning any past or present OCIs relating to this solicitation. If applicable, in the same statement, the Offeror shall provide information to assure the government that the conflicts of interest have been mitigated and/or neutralized to the maximum extent possible. If a conflict of interest is discovered after award of this contract, the Contracting Officer will make a decision on whether or not to terminate the contract. If no conflicts of interest exist, the Offeror shall provide a statement stating no Conflicts of Interest exist.

(d) All other documentation as identified in the Contract Clauses specifications sections within this solicitation.

4.2 Volume II - Tab A, Factor 1 – Past Performance Information of the Prime Contractor. The Past Performance of the Prime Contractor (Offeror) consists of (a) Relevant Company Effort and (b) Quality of Past Performance. The Government will review recent, relevant company efforts and quality information provided by the owners of those efforts to assess the Offeror’s past experience and probability of successfully performing the work described in this solicitation. For this factor, a recent, relevant project is a construction project:

(a) Performed under a contract or task order, as those terms are defined in FAR 2.101, for the Federal Government, or similar contractual agreements for State or Local Governments, or the commercial or private sector. (Multiple projects under a single contract or task order are considered one project. However, do not combine multiple projects under separate contracts or task orders to create a single project.);

(b) That is “recent”; one that has been completed within ten (10) years of the solicitation issue date, or one where the construction is at least 50% complete (measured by performance period days) as of the solicitation issue date. (Offerors are responsible for providing start and completion dates for each completed project, or the start and scheduled completion dates for projects currently under construction.);

(c) That is “relevant”; one that is similar in scope (type, size, complexity and dollar value) to the project types described in this solicitation. For a project to be assessed any degree of “relevancy” it must reflect performance of design and construction requirements as described by this solicitation.

4.2.1 (a) Relevant Company Effort: The Offeror shall provide no more than five (5) examples of recent, relevant construction projects performed as the prime construction contractor that demonstrate the company’s ability to perform work similar in scope and magnitude to that required by this solicitation. For each project, the Offeror shall furnish the information specified below. Attachment 2, at the end of this section, may be used to present the information. The construction effort shown does not have to be a task order under an IDIQ contract, but where it is, clearly indicate so. If more than five (5) projects are submitted for evaluation, only the first five

(5) projects presented will be evaluated.

(1) Company Name

(2) Name of Project

(3) Location of Project

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 4

(4) Project Owner

(5) General Scope of Project

(6) Your Role and Construction Type Work Your Company Self-Performed on site other than Construction Management Services

(7) Construction Cost of the single project

(8) Extent and Type of Work Subcontracted Out

(9) Construction Period - Start and Completion/Scheduled Completion Dates (Provide Month/Year)

(10) Termination or Liquidated Damages Information; Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.

(b) Quality of Past Performance.

(1) The Offeror shall submit evidence of the quality of their past performance for each project. For Federal Government projects, the Offeror shall provide a completed contractor performance evaluation, whether interim or final, found in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (www.cpars.gov/). If a proper evaluation does not exist in CPARS, because it has not been completed or the project is a non-Federal Government project, the Offeror shall provide a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ).

(See Attachment 3). If, at time of evaluation, a final contractor performance evaluation exists in CPARS, and yet the Offeror submits a PPQ, only the evaluation in CPARS will be considered.

(2) Past performance surveys/assessment/evaluation forms other than CPARS or PPQs are unacceptable and will not be considered or evaluated.

(3) Completed PPQs that were submitted in response to previous solicitations may be used in this source selection. However, Offerors shall not incorporate such PPQs by reference. The Offeror must resubmit PPQs for each submitted project within their proposal as evidence of quality of past performance. This does not, however, preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the Past Performance evaluation.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing current, detailed and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

(4) If the CPARS or PPQs for each submitted project within the proposal indicate that the Offeror was required to take corrective action for any substandard performance or experienced other performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc., the Offeror should explain the circumstances and the corrective actions taken within their proposal.

(5) If an Offeror’s client/customer will only provide completed PPQs directly to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, Offerors must ensure the client/customer submits the PPQ by the proposal due date to the Points of Contact indicated on the SF1442. The solicitation number shall be included on the PPQ form. PPQs received after the proposal due date will be considered untimely and will not be considered during the evaluation.

4.2.2 Joint Venture Submission Requirements.

4.2.2.1 Like other Offerors, a JV Offeror shall provide no more than five (5) examples of recent, relevant projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 5

4.2.2.2 If the JV Offeror does not have five (5) projects performed as a JV, the Offeror may supplement those projects it performed as a JV with recent, relevant projects performed by the members of the JV in their individual capacities. In such instance, the total number of projects submitted by the JV shall be no more than five (5).

4.2.2.3 If the JV Offeror has not previously performed as a JV, each member of the JV may submit recent, relevant projects performed in their individual capacities. The total number of projects submitted by the JV shall be no more than five (5).

4.2.3 All Business Entities: To satisfy Paragraph 4.2.1 subparagraphs (a) and (b), only information pertaining to the corporate entity listed on the SF 1442 will be considered in the evaluation. Information related to a parent company, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, other related entities, subcontractors, or the individual experience of key personnel will not be considered.

4.2.4 Verification: The Government reserves the right to verify the information on projects submitted for evaluation, and to review CPARS, or other Government project appraisal systems, for information on other projects performed by the Offeror whether submitted as part of a proposal or not. The Government also reserves the right to contact project clients/customer, or other references. For any adverse performance information found for which the Offeror has not had an opportunity to address, the Offeror will be afforded an opportunity to explain.

4.3 Volume II - Tab B, Factor 2 – Past Performance Information of the Lead Design Firm. The Past Performance of the Lead Design Firm consists of (a) Relevant Company Effort and (b) Quality of Past Performance. The Government will review recent, relevant company efforts and quality information provided by the owners of those efforts to assess the Lead Design Firm’s past experience and probability of successfully performing the work described in this solicitation. For this factor, a recent, relevant project is a design project:

(a) Performed under a contract or task order, as those terms are defined in FAR 2.101, for Federal Government, or similar contractual agreements for State or Local Governments, or the commercial or private sector. (Multiple projects under a single contract or task order are considered one project. However, do not combine multiple projects under separate contracts or task orders to create a single project.);

(b) That is “recent”; one that has been completed within six (6) years of the issue date. (Lead Design Firm’s are responsible for providing start and completion dates for each completed project);

(c) That is “relevant”; one that is similar in scope (type, size, complexity and dollar value) to the project types described in this solicitation. For a project to be assessed any degree of “relevancy” it must reflect performance of design and construction requirements as described by this solicitation.

4.3.1 (a) Relevant Company Effort of Lead Design Firm: The Lead Design Firm shall provide no more than five (5) examples of recent, relevant design projects performed as the Lead Design Firm that demonstrate the company’s

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 6

ability to perform work similar in scope and magnitude to that required by this solicitation. For each project, the Lead Design Firm shall furnish the information specified below. Attachment 4, at the end of this section, may be used to present the information. The design-build construction effort shown does not have to be a task order under an IDIQ contract, but where it is, clearly indicate so. If more than five (5) projects are submitted for evaluation, only the first five (5) projects presented will be evaluated.

(1) Lead Design Firm Name

(2) Name of Project (Type of Project)

(3) Location of Project

(4) Project Owner

(5) General Scope of Project

(6) Summary of Role in Design the Project

(7) Construction Cost of the single project

(8) Extent and Type of Work Subcontracted Out

(9) Design Period – Start and Completion Dates (Provide Month/Year)

(10) Construction Period - Start and Completion/Scheduled Completion Dates (Provide Month/Year)

(11) Performance Evaluation

(12) Owner POC and telephone number

(13) LEED Rating, if applicable

(b) Quality of Past Performance for the Lead Design Firm.

(1) The Lead Design Firm shall submit evidence of the quality of their past performance for each project. For Federal Government projects, the Lead Design Firm shall provide a completed contractor performance evaluation, whether interim or final, found in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (www.cpars.gov/). If a proper evaluation does not exist in CPARS, because it has not been completed or the project is a non-Federal Government project, the Lead Design Firm shall provide a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (See Attachment 5). If, at time of evaluation, a final contractor performance evaluation exists in CPARS, and yet the Lead Design Firm submits a PPQ, only the evaluation in CPARS will be considered.

(2) Past performance surveys/assessment/evaluation forms other than CPARS or PPQs are unacceptable and will not be considered or evaluated.

(3) Completed PPQs that were submitted in response to previous solicitations may be used in this source selection. However, Lead Design Firm shall not incorporate such PPQs by reference. The Lead Design Firm must resubmit PPQs for each submitted project within their proposal as evidence of quality of past performance. This does not, however, preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the Past Performance evaluation. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing current, detailed and complete past performance information rests with the Lead Design Firm.

(4) If the CPARS or PPQs for each submitted project within the proposal indicate that the Lead Design Firm was required to take corrective action for any substandard performance or experienced other performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc., the Lead Design Firm should explain the circumstances and the corrective actions taken within their proposal.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 7

(5) If an Lead Design Firm’s client/customer will only provide completed PPQs directly to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, Lead Design Firm must ensure the client/customer submits the PPQ by the proposal due date to the Points of Contact indicated on the SF1442. The solicitation number shall be included on the PPQ form. PPQs received after the proposal due date will be considered untimely and will not be considered during the evaluation.

4.3.2 Joint Venture Submission Requirements for the Lead Design Firm.

4.3.2.1 A JV Lead Design Firm shall provide no more than five (5) examples of recent, relevant projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation.

4.3.2.2 If the JV Lead Design Firm does not have five (5) projects performed as a JV, the Lead Design Firm may supplement those projects it performed as a JV with recent, relevant projects performed by the members of the JV in their individual capacities. In such instance, the total number of projects submitted by the JV shall be no more than five (5).

4.3.2.3 If the JV Lead Design Firm has not previously performed as a JV, each member of the JV may submit recent, relevant projects performed in their individual capacities. The total number of projects submitted by the JV shall be no more than five (5).

4.3.3 All Business Entities for the Lead Design Firm: To satisfy Paragraph

4.3.1 subparagraphs (a) and (b), only information pertaining to the corporate entity’s lead design firm as demonstrated on the Proposal Data Sheet (Attachment 1) will be considered in the evaluation. Information related to a parent company, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, other related entities, subcontractors, or the individual experience of key personnel will not be considered.

4.3.4 Verification for the Lead Design Firm: The Government reserves the right to verify the information on projects submitted for evaluation, and to review CPARS, or other Government project appraisal systems, for information on other projects performed by the Lead Design Firm whether submitted as part of a proposal or not. The Government also reserves the right to contact project clients/customer, or other references. For any adverse performance information found for which the Lead Design Firm has not had an opportunity to address, the Lead Design Firm will be afforded an opportunity to explain.

4.4 Volume II - Tab C, Factor 3 – Overall Management Approach.

4.4.1 In Factor 3, the Offeror must submit an overall management approach narrative to explain their company’s ability to execute the contract. The response to Factor 3 shall be limited to twenty (20) pages. Address each of the following items in the narrative:

(a) Describe the home office organizational structure, allocation of responsibilities, and show the lines of authority to support the execution of this design-build contract. At a minimum, discuss key management positions and departments, project team composition for both design and construction, to include subcontractors, etc. Include an organizational chart and ensure the information fully supports the narrative.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 8

(b) Describe the Offeror’s business method for selecting subcontractors and for managing subcontract acquisition, execution and administration, including the technical approach to correcting deficient work performed by subcontractors.

(c) Describe the Offeror’s plan to ensure a safe environment for the job site. The discussion shall include the contractor’s plan for safe performance of the project requirements that would be required for a typical construction project in and around a military installation including joint building/site occupancy.

5.0 PHASE ONE - EVALUATION PROCESS.

5.1 A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) composed of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel, Using Activity representative, and, as necessary, technical advisors will conduct the evaluation. The number and identities of Offerors are not revealed to anyone not involved in the evaluation and award process or to other Offerors. The SSEB will evaluate proposals, using the factors and evaluation criteria described in this section.

5.2 The evaluation process for Phase One consists of two parts: Proposal Compliance Review, and Non-Price Factor Evaluation.

5.2.1 Proposal Compliance Review. This is an initial check by Contracting Division to ensure that all required forms are complete, and in compliance with all administrative and submission criteria.

5.2.2 Non-Price Factor Evaluation. In accordance with the solicitation, each member of the SSEB will conduct an independent review of the proposals. The review will be an in-depth, systematic evaluation of the proposal against the submission criteria and evaluation factors. After these reviews, the SSEB, by consensus, will provide a rating for each evaluation factor supported by a justifying narrative. The Offeror’s ratings are confidential, and will remain in the Contracting Officer’s files. Upon completion of the evaluations, the results will be provided to the Contracting Officer in the form of a Proposal Analysis Report with a recommendation of the offerors who are most qualified to proceed to Phase Two.

5.3 Evaluation of Factor 1 – Past Performance Information of the Prime Contractor and Factor 2 – Past Performance Information of the Lead Design Firm. Factor 1 and Factor 2 will be rated individually, each with relevancy ratings and a confidence rating applied as described below.

(1) An Offeror’s “Relevant Company Effort” information will be evaluated to determine if the construction and design projects submitted are “recent”, and “relevant”. For this solicitation, the Government will give more consideration for: design-build construction project on military installations; for dollar value similar to those anticipated under this solicitation; and projects where the Offeror performed as the prime contractor, as opposed to a subcontractor. Additionally, more consideration will be given to projects that demonstrate experience with secure areas, specifically SCIFs; and projects in which the Offeror and Lead Design Firm previously performed together. Additionally, more consideration will be given to a project portfolio that reflects successful performance of a diversity of construction and repair type projects similar to those described by this solicitation.

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 9

This project is for the design and construction of the second phase of the ACURL Reprogramming Facility, a 2-story addition approximately 34,669 square-feet and 1,800 square feet in renovations at Eglin AFB, FL. This second phase of the ACURL includes an electronics lab and control room, lab tech support offices, separate smaller electronic work rooms, a Network Operations Center, office and engineering support areas, receiving area and classified material storage areas at Secret/Collateral and SAP levels, and a large training room with AV/VTC capabilities. The project scope includes reinforced concrete foundation and floor slab, steel structure, masonry walls, metal roof, HVAC, fire detection and protection, and mass notification system, and other supporting work necessary to make a complete and usable facility.

(2) The Government will then assess how well an Offeror and their Lead Design Firm performed on their projects. The Government will, as necessary, confirm quality of past performance data provided by the Offeror and, at its discretion, obtain additional past performance information, if available, from other sources. When the relevant performance record indicates performance problems, the Government will consider the number and severity of the problems and the appropriateness and effectiveness of any corrective action taken (not just planned or promised). The Government may review more recent contracts or performance evaluations to ensure corrective actions have been implemented and evaluate their effectiveness.

(3) Upon completion of its evaluation of each project, the SSEB, by consensus, will assign each project one of the following ratings:

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Very Relevant - Present/Past effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude, effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant - Present/Past effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant - Present/Past effort involved some scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant - Present/Past effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

No overall relevancy rating is assigned to an Offeror’s or Lead Design Firm’s portfolio of projects. Rather, after checking compliance and assigning each project a relevancy rating, the SSEB will then determine an overall Performance Confidence Assessment rating. The overall Performance Confidence Assessment rating takes into consideration the degree of relevancy of each project, and the quality ratings of those projects.

(4) If the Offeror or Lead Design Firm is submitting as a Joint Venture (JV), the SSEB will utilize the information submitted to conduct the relevancy and performance confidence assessment ratings of the JV, as previously indicated. Based on the information submitted by the JV Offeror, the SSEB will evaluate and assess:

(i) The JV’s “Past Performance Information”, and/or

(ii) Either JV partners’ “Past Performance Information”

(5) The overall Performance Confidence Assessment Rating reflects the degree of probability that the Offeror and Lead Design Firm will be able to meet the solicitation’s requirements. Upon completion of the evaluation, one of the following ratings will be assigned:

SECTION 00 11 00 – PAGE 10

Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings and Description Substantial Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonable assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

(6) Offerors and Lead Design Firms with little or no relevant past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for Factor 1 or 2.

However, such a proposal will be rated neutral confidence, and thus may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government when compared to the proposals of other Offerors and Lead Design Firms with recent/relevant past performance.

5.4 Evaluation of Factor 3 – Overall Management Approach. The SSEB will evaluate the management approach narrative to assess the Offeror’s overall organizational structure, management of subcontractors, and safety measures to ensure it reflects an understanding of the requirements of the solicitation. The overall management approach will be assessed for understanding, logic, and reasonableness. The SSEB will determine the strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies, if any, in the approach presented, and then assign an overall combined technical/risk ratings as listed below.

Combined Technical/Risk Rating and Definitions OUTSTANDING Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

GOOD Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

MARGINAL Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies,…
