This procurement will follow the Two-Phase Design-Build selection procedures in accordance with FAR 36.3. The Government will evaluate Phase-One proposals and select a maximum of five (5) most highly qualified offerors to submit Phase-Two proposals. Phase-Two will select the best value offeror using the trade-off source selection process.

In Phase-One, the Government intends to select a maximum of (5) most highly qualified offerors to submit proposals for Phase-Two without conducting discussions with any offeror; therefore, the initial Phase-One proposal shall conform to the solicitation requirements and shall contain the best offer. The Government intends to evaluate Phase-Two proposals utilizing the Best Value Trade Off procedures outlined in FAR Part 15 and award a contract without conducting discussions; therefore, the initial Phase-Two proposal shall conform to the solicitation requirements and shall contain the best offer from a non-price and price standpoint.

The Government intends to award without discussions the proposal offering the Best Value to the Government. Award will be made on a Best Value trade off basis where all evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are approximately equal in importance with cost or price. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

The RFP can be accessed at https://beta.sam.gov. Printed copies of the RFP will not be issued.

COMPETITIVE RANGE

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions during Phase-One and/or Phase- Two if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines discussions are necessary, the Contracting Officer may conduct discussions with offerors determined to be in the competitive range. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

ENFORCEABILITY OF PROPOSAL

The Government shall consider the “offeror” to be the legal entity identified in Block 14 of the SF1442 of the Phase-One proposal. The legal entity that submitted the Phase-One offer shall https://beta.sam.gov/ mailto:maxwell.derck@va.gov not be changed, assigned, or otherwise substituted prior to award under any circumstances.

The proposal must set forth full, accurate, and complete information as required by this solicitation. The Government will rely on such information in the award of a contract. By submission of the offer, the offeror agrees that all items proposed in response to the evaluation factors (including subcontractors with teaming agreements, project schedule, building design etc.) will be enforced for the duration of the contract. Any substitutions after contract award will be equal or better than as proposed and shall require Contracting Officer's approval prior to implementation.

PART II. EVALUATION FACTORS AND BASIS OF AWARD

Offeror packets will be evaluated based upon the following criteria:

a. Definitions:

Size is defined as any project over $1,000,000.00 Complexity is defined as a design build project that includes several specialty trades and some engineering.

Scope is defined as work or activities related, or closely related to that which is outlined in the Statement of Work such as but not limited to; construction of new asphalt paving, compaction, grading, seal coating, striping, electrical and solar.

Recency is defined as a project completed in the previous five (5) calendar years.

Relevancy is defined as for purposes of this evaluation, as new construction and/or repair, alteration and related demolition of existing infrastructure completed within the past five years of the proposal issue date of this RFP. Infrastructure is defined as: 1) construction of a healthcare facility; 2) construction for industrial buildings and warehouses; 3) nonresidential buildings, other than industrial buildings and warehouses; or 4) improvements such as utilities, landscaping, and roadways. “New Construction” is defined as construction that provides for new or expanded facilities or infrastructure. New construction does not include repair and/or modernization of an existing facility nor does it include replacement or upgrade to an existing infrastructure.

EVALUATION CRITERIA AND BASIS OF AWARD

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.3, this acquisition is based upon two-phase design-build selection procedures. The term “technical factors” refers to any non-price factor other than past performance. Factors 1-4 will be evaluated in Phase-One and Factors 5-6 will be evaluated in Phase-Two. Factor 1 will be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable in Factor 1, then they will not be considered for Phase-Two. In making the best value award decision after Phase-Two, the Government will consider Factors 2-6 and price.

The relative importance of evaluation factors 2-6 is as follows: Technical factors (Factors 2, 4, 5, 6,) are of equal importance to each other, and when combined, are equal in importance to the past performance factor (Factor 3). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The contract resulting from this solicitation will be awarded to that responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government considering price and non-price evaluation factors. Award may be made to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest non-price rated offeror. Business judgments and tradeoffs will be used to determine the proposal offering the best value to the Government. In determining the best value to the Government, the Government need not quantify the tradeoffs that led to the best value decision.

PHASE-ONE and PHASE-TWO SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

(a) All proposals shall be submitted in one part, a Technical Proposal. Your submittal must include a one-sided original to be emailed to the Contract Specialist maxwell.derck@va.gov. Emails cannot contain attachments that exceed 5MB.
