BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:

This is a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) that represents the best value to the

Government conducted under FAR Part 15.101-1, Tradeoff Procedure. This is a Past

Performance-Price Tradeoff (PPT).

The government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors unless holding discussions is determined by the Source Selection Authority (SSA) to be in the best interest of the government. All offerors are encouraged to provide their best proposal upfront. There is no guarantee that discussions will be held. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors would not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revisions. There will be no public bid opening.

A single award will be made to a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) using Firm-Fixed Price Tradeoff Procedure. Past Performance is significantly more important than price. The offeror who presents the best value to the Government when Past Performance and Price are considered will be the apparent awardee. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers as listed in this solicitation. The

Government shall not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. If there is a lower priced, conforming offer(s), the SSA will decide on whether the added value of a more expensive proposal would justify award to that offeror.

The Government reserves the right to limit, for purposes of efficiency, the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that shall permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals (10 U.S.C.2305(b)(4) and 41 U.S.C. 253b(d)). If the SSA decides that an offeror’s proposal should no longer be included in the competitive range, the proposal shall be eliminated from consideration for award and written notice of the decision shall be provided to the unsuccessful offeror in accordance with FAR 15.503.

i) VOLUME I - PAST PERFORMANCE

The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an

Offeror's likelihood of success in fulfilling the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that Offeror's record of past performance. In this context, “Offeror” refers to the proposed prime SDVOSB contractor. A single past performance rating will be based on the total package submitted by the offeror.

http://www.betasam.gov/

Recent Successful Past Performance: Offerors are required to provide information on their recent and substantially completed past projects that demonstrate they have successfully performed construction with similar scope as

Project 564-17-106 “Correct MRI ADA Deficiency” on a similar campus as

VHSO as the prime contractor within the last five (5) years, from the date this solicitation was issued.

Provide a detailed summary of the most recent five (5) projects that include:

1. Owner Government Agency/Company which awarded the contract and their contact information (Name, Title, Telephone Number, Email);

2. Contract Number;

3. Location (physical address) of project performance;

4. Project Name;

5. Project Description -Details of construction requirements, challenges, and solutions;

6. Project Cost and Cost Control Measures. Original and final contract costs, contract mods, cost containment measures, value engineering, and any other information your firm believes is relevant to costs;

7. Project Performance Period - Initial and actual start/end dates, schedule impacts and efficiencies; and

9. In addition, for each project submitted, Offeror’s shall provide a narrative that describes recent successful performance and demonstrates experience working on projects with similar scope as

Project 564-17-106. Information shall include details on complexity, magnitude, challenges, and degree of success. Offeror is encouraged to include supporting documents such as photographs that support the narrative. The narrative should discuss items such as challenges with schedule, unforeseen site conditions, or other unusual factors, and provide details on how the offeror overcame those challenges.

The Government will conduct a performance risk assessment based on the quality, relevancy and recency of the Offeror's past performance as it relates to the probability of successful accomplishment of the required effort. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will review available past performance data available in the Contractors Performance Assessment Reporting System

(CPARS). The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any available source and may contact customers other than those identified by the Offeror when evaluating past performance. Since the

Government may not necessarily interview all the sources provided by the

Offerors, it is incumbent upon the Offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that the burden of proving low performance risk rests with the Offerors.

The Government will review aspects of the offerors’ past performance experiences by the final costs, project schedule, and performance. Areas to be evaluated may include but are not limited to quality of construction service, timeliness of performance or adherence to performance schedules, controlling project cost, and/or effectiveness in program management (to include use and control of subcontractors).

Per FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the

Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

ii) VOLUME II – PRICE

Offerors shall provide a breakdown of their base bid line item on the price breakdown form provided as a solicitation attachment. Offerors shall provide pricing on each line item on the SF1442 continuation price sheet. The

Government will evaluate price to determine whether proposals are fair and reasonable. (Note: In accordance with (IAW) FAR 28.101-1, a bid-bond is required; therefore, a performance and payment bond is required.) The

Government will evaluate offers for award purposes based on CLINS or any alternate deduct items as determined by the Government based on the availability of funding.

_____ (1) The Offeror certifies that—

(i) It does not engage and has not engaged in any activity that contributed to or was a significant factor in the President’s or Secretary of State’s determination that a foreign country is in violation of its obligations undertaken in any arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. The determinations are described in the most recent unclassified annual report provided to Congress pursuant to section 403 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C.

2593a). The report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/; and

(ii) No entity owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or was a significant factor in the President’s or Secretary of State’s determination that a foreign country is in violation of its obligations undertaken in any arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. The determinations are described in the most recent unclassified annual report provided to Congress pursuant to section 403 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act

(22 U.S.C. 2593a). The report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/; or https://www.sam.gov/ https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/ https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/ https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/ https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/ https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/ https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/

(2) The Offeror is providing separate information with its offer in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this provision.

(c) Procedures for reviewing the annual unclassified report (see paragraph (b)(1) of this provision). For clarity, references to the report in this section refer to the entirety of the annual unclassified report, including any separate reports that are incorporated by reference into the annual unclassified report.

(1) Check the table of contents of the annual unclassified report and the country section headings of the reports incorporated by reference to identify the foreign countries listed there.

Determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror may have engaged in any activity related to one or more of such foreign countries.

(2) If there may have been such activity, review all findings in the report associated with those foreign countries to determine whether or not each such foreign country was determined to be in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or to be not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. For clarity, in the annual report an explicit certification of noncompliance is equivalent to a determination of violation. However, the following statements in the annual report are not equivalent to a determination of violation:

(i) An inability to certify compliance.

(ii) An inability to conclude compliance.

(iii) A statement about compliance concerns.

(3) If so, determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or is a significant factor in the determination in the report that one or more of these foreign countries is in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. Review the narrative for any such findings reflecting a determination of violation or non-adherence related to those foreign countries in the report, including the finding itself, and to the extent necessary, the conduct giving rise to the compliance or adherence concerns, the analysis of compliance or adherence concerns, and efforts to resolve compliance or adherence concerns.

(4) The Offeror may submit any questions with regard to this report by email to

NDAA1290Cert@state.gov. To the extent feasible, the Department of State will respond to such email inquiries within 3 business days.

(d) Do not submit an offer unless—

(1) A certification is provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision and submitted with the offer;

or

(2) In accordance with paragraph (b)(2) of this provision, the Offeror provides with its offer information that the President of the United States has—

(i) Waived application under U.S.C. 2593e(d) or (e); or

(ii) Determined under 22 U.S.C. 2593e(g)(2) that the entity has ceased all activities for which measures were imposed under 22 U.S.C.2593e(b).

(e) Remedies. The certification in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the

Offeror knowingly submitted a false certification, in addition to other remedies available to the

Government, such as suspension or debarment, the Contracting Officer may terminate any contract resulting from the false certification.
