The required information from the proposal, along with other information obtained from Government systems, such as, but not limited to the OSHA and EPA online inspection history databases, as well as any other information the Contracting Officer has determined to be valid, will be used to make the Determination of Responsibility. NOTE: Any information received by the Government that would cause for a negative Determination of Responsibility may make the Offeror ineligible for award.

10. VETS 4212

Title 38, USC Section 4212(d), codified at 41 CFR Section 61-300, requires that federal contractors report, at least annually, the number and category of veterans who are within their workforce. Submission of the VETS-4212 reporting information can be done electronically at: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/vets/programs/vets4212. Award cannot be made unless the awardee has filed their VETS-4212 report. Therefore, all offerors are encouraged to file every year. The Contracting Officer may request a copy of the email confirmation of receipt notification, prior to awarding the project.

11. SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM)

Federal Acquisition Regulations require that federal contractors register in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at http://www.sam.gov and enter all mandatory information into the system. Offerors are required to be registered at the time of proposal submission and at time of award. Offerors are encouraged to ensure that they are registered in SAM prior to submitting their proposal.

12. REVIEW REQUIRED REGISTRATION WITH CONTRACTOR

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS): As prescribed in RFO Part 42.1102(e), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) evaluates contractor past performance on all construction contracts that exceed $900,000 and shares those evaluations with other Federal Government contract specialists and procurement officials. The RFO requires that the contractor be provided with an opportunity to comment on evaluations prior to each report closing. To fulfill this requirement VA uses an online database, CPARS. CPARS also includes access to the federal awardee performance and integrity information system (FAPIIS). FAPIIS is a web-enabled application accessed via CPARS for contractor responsibility determination information. Each contractor whose contract award is estimated to exceed $900,000 is required to register with CPARS database at the following web address: http://www.cpars.gov/. Help with registering can be obtained by contacting Customer Support Desk DSN: 684-1690 or COMM: 207- 438-1690. Registration should occur no later than thirty days after contract award and must be kept current should there be any change to the contractor’s registered representative. For contracts with a period of one year or less, the contracting officer will perform a single evaluation when the contract is complete. For contracts exceeding one year, the contracting officer will evaluate the contractor’s performance annually. Interim reports will be filed each year until the last year of the contract, when the final report will be completed. The report shall be assigned in CPARS to the contractor’s designated representative for comment. The contractor representative will have thirty days to submit any comments and re-assign the report to the VA contracting officer. Failure to have a current registration in the CPARS database, or to re-assign the report to the VA contracting officer within those thirty days, will result in the Government’s evaluation being placed on file in the database with a statement that the contractor failed to respond.

13. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS AND SPECIAL AGREEMENT CHECKS

All contractor employees are subject to the same level of investigation as VA employees who have access to VA Sensitive Information. The level of background investigation commensurate with the level of access needed to perform the statement of work is: Low Risk. This requirement is applicable to all subcontractor personnel requiring the same access. As per VA Directive 0710, costs of background investigations will be borne by the contractor. Please be advised that the awardee will need to coordinate with the VA Medical Center concerning badging requirements.

14. SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING RFO 52.229-3: FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES

Offerors are hereby notified that all state and local sales or use taxes for construction materials must be included in their bid or proposal price. It is solely the responsibility of the offeror to include all other applicable taxes in their bid or proposal price as well. The Government has determined that for this acquisition it cannot take advantage of any sales or use tax exemptions that may be available to it under applicable state law. Under no circumstances will any Contractor be designated as an agent of the Government for purposes of any tax exemption, nor will the Government authorize any Contractor’s use of any tax exemption directly applicable to the Government under this procurement.

15. REFERENCES TO VA ENGINEER, RESIDENT ENGINEER OR PROJECT MANAGER Any reference contained within the solicitation/contract specifications and/or drawings to the “VA Engineer,” “Resident Engineer,” or “Project Manager” or their abbreviations shall be replaced with “Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).”

Proposals will be subject to an initial screening for compliance with proposal preparation instructions. Failure to comply will result in a proposal being excluded from competition without further evaluation of the proposal beyond the initial screening.

It is the Government’s intent to award one (1) firm-fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and has been determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government will use the lowest price technically acceptable source selection approach (RFO 15.103-2) to evaluate proposals and award the contract. An award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the requirements for acceptability on all non-price factors.

Proposals will be subject to an initial screening for compliance with proposal preparation instructions. Failure to comply will result in a proposal being excluded from competition without further evaluation of the proposal beyond the initial screening. The CO will conduct a “proposal compliance review” for determination of basic proposal adequacy.

Proposal adequacy refers to the baseline state where a proposal is complete, accurate, compliant with all solicitation instructions, and supported by enough data to justify the proposed price and technical approach.

The following factors should be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical Evaluation Factors/Schedule (non-price factor).

2. Experience (non-price factor).

3. Key Personnel Experience (non-price factor).

4. Price

The draft project schedule must include the activities which are consistent with those described within the project drawings, specifications, and Scope of Work documents and must not exceed the Governments maximum allowable performance period. The period of performance for this project is 700 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed.
