SIGNIFICANT SUBFACTORS

• VA Health Care construction experience;

• Previous construction experience in the geographic area(s) covered by this solicitation.

• Non-VA health care environment construction experience;

• Timely performance under previous construction projects;

• Client’s overall satisfaction with previous construction projects; and

Previous VA Health Care construction projects: Successful completion of previous construction projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Geographic area performance: Demonstrated ability to successfully perform construction projects in the location(s) being proposed on.

Previous non-VA health care construction projects: Successful completion of previous construction projects outside the Department of Veterans Affairs in the health care field.

Timely performance: Demonstrated ability to perform of similar size, scope, and complexity successfully in accordance with approved progress schedules under previous construction projects.

Client’s Overall Satisfaction with Previous Projects: The Evaluation Panel may contact the references supplied for projects submitted. Each reference may be asked the following:

• Was the Contractor cooperative, capable, and effective in prosecuting the work?

• Did Contractor’s performance conform to the terms and conditions of the contract?

• Once completed, did the project require unexpected maintenance activity?

• Have any latent defects been found?

• Was the staffing level consistent with the project size and complexity?

• Would the client use this firm again? Why or why not?

Offeror shall provide the following information for each contract/project submitted for evaluation:

• Company Name/Address/Phone number/Email Address

• Project Title

• Contracting Office/Government Agency

• Contract Number

• Total Contract Amount

• Period of Performance

• Contracting Officer (CO) name, Phone Number and Email

• Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) Name, Phone number, and email address

• Brief Description of the Project /Requirements and number of personnel assigned to the project.

The Offeror shall demonstrate recent (within the last three years from proposal issuance date) successful performance under contracts (ongoing or completed) which are similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity to the subject requirement via SUBMISSION WITH PAST PERFORMANCE PROPOSAL OF EXHIBIT A PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY SURVEY. SUBMIT EXHIBIT A ON NO LESS THAN FIVE (5) PROJECTS, including information on problems encountered and corrective actions.

Past Performance Questionnaire – Offerors shall prepare and forward to prior client(s) for submission to the Contracting Office EXHIBIT B PAST AND PRESENT PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE for all the projects listed by contractor and submitted using EXHIBIT A PERFORMANCE RELEVANCY SURVEY. This includes correspondence explaining the requirement to obtain an independent evaluation of prior contract performance and the Past and Present Performance Questionnaire for use in evaluating Past Performance.

Completed Past Performance Questionnaires shall be submitted to the Contracting Office so as to arrive not later than the closing date/time for receipt of proposals shown on the SF1442. Completed questionnaires shall be forwarded via email to beth.cook@va.gov. The subject line shall state 36C25618R0173 Past Performance for (Name of Company.) NOTE: Offeror shall not review the Past Performance Questionnaire prior to submission. Past Performance Questionnaire must be submitted by the client/evaluator directly to the Contracting Office.

Offerors should follow-up and encourage references to get the questionnaires to the Contracting Office in a timely manner. Do not include copies of the letters or questionnaires in the proposal.

B. The Government may evaluate past performance information through the use of Exhibit B completed by the offeror's references; use data independently obtained from other Government or commercial sources, including, but not limited to, Government databases; and/or rely upon personal business experience with the offeror. The evaluation may take into account Past Performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, and/or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to this acquisition. Past Performance information on contracts not listed by the offeror, or that of planned subcontractors, may also be evaluated. The Government may contact references and contact parties other than those identified by the offeror, and information received may be used in the evaluation of the offeror’s Past Performance. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing current accurate and complete Past Performance information rests with the offeror. The Government reserves the right to obtain and evaluate Past Performance information from any source it deems appropriate.

C. An offeror with limited or no past performance may receive a rating based on the evaluation of its subcontractors and/or key personnel, provided an EXHIBIT C SUBCONTRACTOR INFORMATION AND CONSENT FORM has been executed and included in the proposal for proposed subcontractors and/or potential key personnel not employed by the offeror. These ratings shall have the same weight as the ratings of the offeror. Offerors without a record of relevant past performance will be assigned a neutral rating in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). However, the proposal of an offeror with no relevant Past Performance history, while rated “Neutral” in Past Performance, may not represent the most advantageous proposal to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful proposal when compared to the proposal of other offerors.

D. In accordance with FAR 15.306(a)(2), if award will be made without conducting discussions, an offeror may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (i.e. the relevance of an offeror's past performance information) as related to this acquisition, address adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond or to resolve minor clerical errors.

E. Performance Currency, Trends, and Relevancy: The government will consider the currency, trends and relevancy of the performance information while conducting its performance evaluation. For the purpose of this solicitation, performance currency is performance occurring within the last three (3) years from the proposal issuance date. Within this period, performance occurring later in the period may have greater significance than work occurring earlier in the period. For example, performance information for work occurring during March 2017 may have greater importance than performance information for work occurring during March 2015. Performance Trends may, depending upon the circumstances, have greater significance than sporadic incidents of "Exceptional" or "Unsatisfactory" performance. For the purpose of this solicitation, Performance Relevancy is defined as contracts (ongoing or completed) which are similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity to the current requirement. Higher relevancy will be assessed for contracts that are similar to the effort, or portion of effort, for which that contractor is being proposed, and may contribute to an overall higher relevancy score for the offeror. Based on the evaluation of offers, the Government will assign a performance confidence rating for each proposal at the factor level. The evaluation will consider the sub-factors as described herein. Following assignment of the performance confidence rating for each proposal, each offeror will receive a final risk rating for performance based on the cumulative rating of performance currency, trends and relevancy.

The below documents are incorporated within the technical and past performance section and are required as part of the proposal(s):

i. Commitment Letters, if applicable

ii. Exhibit A – Past Performance Relevancy Surveys

iii. Exhibit B – Past and Present Performance Questionnaire

iv. Exhibit C – Subcontractor Information and Consent Form
