a) Offerors submitting proposals for this project should limit submissions to data essential for evaluation of proposals in preparing information required herein. However, in order to be effectively and equitably evaluated, the proposals must include information sufficiently detailed to clearly describe the Offeror's experience and capability, past performance, and use of small business necessary for successful completion of the project. Requirements stated in this RFP are minimums.

b) The Offeror’s conformance with the specified format, submission requirements, and the Offeror’s attention to detail will be considered during the technical evaluation and trade-off. Material omission(s) may result in a deficiency, which may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as unacceptable.

c) Technical proposals that do not provide the specified information in the specified location in accordance with the submission instructions may be found to have weaknesses or significant weaknesses. The Government is under no obligation to search for information that is not in the specified location.

d) Responses that are essentially blanket offers of compliance are not adequate substitutes for the detailed and complete technical information necessary to establish that an Offeror can meet Government needs. The proposal submission instructions are written to give prospective contractors, where feasible, an indication of the level of detail desired by the Government. The Offeror’s failure to include information that the Government has indicated should be included may result in the proposal being assigned a (significant) weakness and/or being found deficient if inadequate detail is provided.

e) Any prescribed page and formatting limitations will be strictly adhered to and enforced by the Government. The Government will not evaluate any excess information resulting from the Offeror’s failure to comply with the submission instructions.

f) Exceptions. Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal volumes. Inclusion of any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in a determination that the offer is unacceptable and thus ineligible for award.

1.3.2 As per FAR 52.236-1, the contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 20% of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract.

1.3.3 Proposed Contract Duration and Summary Schedule: The Offeror shall submit a summary level schedule for construction with details for all major activities. The number of calendar days should be included for each activity. The Offeror shall also include their proposed contract duration in this summary level schedule, which shall not exceed the maximum contract duration specified in the solicitation. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to schedule the work considering all constraints of the project. This summary schedule will, after contract award, be replaced with a project schedule as required by the specifications. The schedules should be task oriented, indicating the number of calendar days, after notice to proceed, by which milestones are to be achieved. The proposed project schedule shall reflect the proposed contract duration and phasing requirements as indicated within the Scope of Work (SOW).

1.4 Source Selection Evaluation Criteria for Factor 1 – Organizational/Technical Approach & Schedule:

1.4.1 The Government will evaluate the firm’s understanding and capability to execute the project, as well as compliance w/ the percentage of work to be performed by the contractor as per FAR 52.236-1. Some additional specific evaluation considerations are listed below.

1.4.2 Organizational Approach: The Government will evaluate the clarity and strength of the overall organization and how well it is organized, structured and staffed to execute the entire scope of work. Joint venture participant’s contribution to the organization should be commensurate with their skills and background.

1.4.3 Technical Approach for Construction: The Government will evaluate the clarity and strength for technical approach. The Government places a higher value on an Offeror that provides proposed methods to streamline construction, manage labor and other resource constraints in an effort to reduce costs and support an aggressive schedule. The Government will also consider whether the approach reduces on-site fabrication and susceptibility to inclement weather delays. The Government will also evaluate the Offeror’s capabilities and understanding of the contractually required quality control processes for construction.

1.4.4 Schedule:

1.4.4.1 Summary Schedule: The Government will evaluate the summary schedule for construction. The length of the schedule must match the contract duration. The Government will evaluate the schedule to assess the strength of understanding of the project scope, restrictions which must be considered in the schedule e.g. permitting, long lead items, etc. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's capability to schedule the complete project within the contract duration and the realism of the schedule. A schedule that offers advantage(s) to the Government over one that merely indicates an adequate understanding of the scope, restrictions, major milestones and general understanding of the various events that can affect start and completion of construction will receive additional consideration.

2. Volume II, Tab H – Factor 2 – Past Performance:

2.1 The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the Government’s RFP as Attachment 2 is provided for the Offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the Offeror includes in its RFP response for “Past Performance.” Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the response closing dates, the Offeror should complete and submit with the response the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

2.2 Offerors may also include performance recognition documents, not necessarily related to those projects submitted for Factor 2, received within the last seven (7) years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

2.3 In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all UEI/CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, etc.) identified in the Offeror’s response, inquiries of owner representative(s).

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

2.5 Rating Guidelines for Factor 2 - Past Performance:

2.5.1 The Offeror shall present examples of previous projects demonstrating construction performance and specialized experience using the format provided in Attachment 2 (Past Performance Questionnaire). As noted in Attachment 2, Offerors may use continuation sheets to provide information to the level of detail required to answer the RFP, as necessary. Relevant experience is obtained by performing projects similar in scope, complexity, and magnitude to this project. In order to be relevant, the experience must also be recent. However, this does not prevent the Government from considering projects completed more than seven (7) years ago; with less recent projects being considered less relevant. Submit relevant specialized experience information for the elements/types of work listed within the Scope of Work, with each project having a contract value of at least $1M.

Offerors shall submit at least two (2) relevant projects, but no more than five (5). Additional consideration will be given to submissions of more than two (2) relevant projects. The dollar value of the proposed subcontractor’s experience on a submitted relevant project shall be explicitly stated (regardless of whether that contractor was a prime or subcontractor on the submitted project). Also, in order for the Offeror to meet the criteria above, an Offeror’s relevant experience must have been met cumulatively by no more than the Offeror and/or one (1) key subcontractor.

2.5.2 Offerors are limited to 30 pages total for this factor (PPQs do not count towards this total). Any pages submitted beyond this limit will be removed and will not be read or given any consideration.

2.5.3 Project completion is defined as the date the facility or work was turned over to or occupied by the owner. Projects that are considered substantially complete meaning listed at a percentage of completion of 90% or higher will be considered complete, but the Offeror must explicitly state so for a project to be considered complete.

2.5.4 If the Offeror submits experience for a proposed subcontractor, the experience must be relevant to the firm’s role on this project. In addition, the Offeror must include documentation of an unequivocal teaming agreement or letter of commitment in this section of the proposal, signed by an authorized representative of the proposed subcontractor.

2.6 Source Selection Evaluation Criteria for Factor 2 – Past Performance:

2.6.1 The Government will first assess and rate the relevancy of recent projects accomplished by the Offeror to the scope of this contract for overall application to the performance confidence assessment ratings described hereinafter. Relevancy, as it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the service/support effort, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and subcontract/teaming or other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the source solicitation requirements; and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance. The projects will include those submitted under Factor 2 as well as from other sources described above. This rating is not a separate response rating but is only used in developing overall past performance confidence assessment rating assigned to the Past Performance Criterion.

2.6.2 The Government will next perform a performance confidence assessment, considering how well the Offeror performed on the contracts. The Government will consider the recency (completed no longer than seven (7) years preceding the date of this solicitation) and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. With respect to relevancy and recency, successful past performance on projects with more relevance and/or those that are more recent will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment rating than successful past performance on projects of lesser relevance and/or those that are less recent. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, The Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer or by the team member. The Government also places a higher value on projects which document successful outcomes and are supported by outside source confirmation, for example, but not limited to telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the response, CPARS or other agency performance databases, Offeror furnished references, or personal knowledge. The Government also places a higher value on projects, which provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully. The rating for this criterion will be expressed as a degree of confidence in the Offeror's ability to successfully accomplish the contract requirements.

2.6.3 Each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance. An entity may not establish past performance based on the past performance of its proposed key personnel, apart from that of the entity. If the Government does not obtain past performance information for the projects identified by the Offeror and cannot establish a past performance record for the Offeror through other sources, past performance will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

2.6.4 For this factor, the Government will evaluate the degree of relevance of the demonstrated experience and will assess the level of risk of unsuccessful performance based on the extent of relevant experience presented.

2.6.5 Demonstrated experience of the Offeror (Prime Contractor) will be given greater weight than that of a proposed subcontractor.

2.6.6 Projects that are more similar to this work will be given more weight. For example, single projects that include multiple aspects will be given greater weight than separate projects that include only one aspect of requested experience.

2.6.7 Projects that exceed the magnitudes stated above may be given greater weight. However, in any case, the Government will consider the nature of the project, duration, timeframe, as well as the scope and complexity in determining whether the previous project is a positive indicator of capability with respect to this work.

2.6.8 Other aspects of the project that may be considered in determining similarity include: location (jurisdiction), agency and stakeholder coordination requirements, security requirements, safety and quality control criteria, type of contract (e.g. Firm Fixed Price, Cost Reimbursable), and other project constraints affecting complexity.

2.6.9 Projects completed by affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, or similar will be given no weight.

3. Volume II, Tab I – Factor 3 – Key Personnel:

3.1 Provide resumes for the personnel proposed for the key positions identified below. These positions must be staffed by the Prime contractor. Indicate whether each individual has had a significant role in any of the project examples cited in Factor 2. For each person, provide a brief resume using the Key Personnel Resume form (Attachment 1).

Note: References to the alternate personnel in Factor 3 are listed in the event that any of the required personnel need to be replaced, or require a backup for personal vacations or in the event of illness, in which case contractors will be required to provide personnel w/ qualifications that are equal to or greater than the requirements in the RFP/specification or the original personnel submitted, whichever is greater. All substituted personnel will be subject to approval by the Government. To ensure sufficient coverage during construction, Offerors shall submit at least one (1) alternate personnel each, for the Contractor Quality Control System Manager and the Site Safety and Health Officer, in addition to the minimum required number of personnel for each position.

3.2. Project Superintendent: The project superintendent is the individual primarily responsible for managing and coordinating day-to-day production and schedule adherence on the project. The superintendent is required to attend partnering meetings, and quality control meetings. The superintendent (or qualified alternative) must be on-site at all times during the performance of this contract until the work is completed and accepted, and is responsible for all construction and related activities at the site, including quality and production, except as otherwise acceptable to the Contracting Officer.

The Project Superintendent should have a minimum of ten (10) years on-site construction experience. The individual must be capable of interpreting a critical path schedule and construction drawings.
