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 (PP/T).

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.

VOLUME I - PAST PERFORMANCE Submission Requirements:

1. 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. A single past performance rating will be based on the total package submitted by the offeror.

Recent Successful Past Performance: Offerors are required to provide their recent, substantially complete (>90% complete), successful performance under contracts that demonstrate they have successfully performed construction work in an occupied space within a hospital environment, similar in scope to Project 580-22-201, as the prime contractor within the last seven (7) years, from the date this solicitation was issued.

8. Subcontractors (Name, Roles, Responsibilities, Percent of work).

9. In addition, for each project submitted, Offerors shall provide a narrative that describes recent successful performance and demonstrates experience in construction on a similar campus as MEDVAMC. 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 for project 580-22-201 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).

(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.

(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 22 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 mailto:NDAA1290Cert@state.gov http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title22-section2593e&num=0&edition=prelim http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title22-section2593e&num=0&edition=prelim http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title22-section2593e&num=0&edition=prelim available to the Government, such as suspension or debarment, the Contracting Officer may terminate any contract resulting from the false certification.
