II.D. Technical Proposal

The Technical Proposal shall include the information requested below for the non-price factors described in Section VI.

FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE ON RELEVANT PROJECTS (50%)

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE ON RELEVANT PROJECTS (20%)

FACTOR 3: QUALIFICATIONS OF KEY PERSONNEL (30%)

Percentages are included to clarify the relative importance of each factor and will not be used in a calculation or algorithm to determine the best value to the government.

PRICE: Cost or price will not be assigned a numerical weight, point score, or adjectival rating. The SSEB and Contracting Officer will use cost and price analysis to evaluate the price proposal, not only to determine whether it is reasonable, as determined by comparison to Government estimates generated by GSA and/or the technical advisors, but also to determine the Offeror’s understanding of the work and ability to perform the contract. The price proposals will only be considered after all technical evaluations have been done. The cost and price evaluation will be clearly documented by the SSEB and Contracting Officer.

1) FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE ON RELEVANT PROJECTS

The offeror must submit the required information on the Experience Summary Table (Attachment A1) as well as Project Fact Sheets (Attachment A2) for three (3) projects. One of the three projects must have a minimum construction cost of five million dollars ($5,000,000). All must have been successfully and substantially completed within the past ten (10) years. The Offeror must have served as the Prime GC or CMc on the submitted projects. Demonstrated experience on projects similar to this contract will lead to a higher rating for this factor. A project will be considered similar based on independent judgement and consensus judgment of the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) members that the project has enough characteristics in common with the subject project that it can be determined relevant experience. Projects determined to be not relevant or only partially relevant will receive no or lesser weight, resulting in a lower rating for this factor.

Similar projects shall have one or more of the below components (scope) of office buildings, courthouses, civic buildings or other acceptable institutional buildings*:

● Construction within an occupied and operational site, campus or multi-story building

● New or replacement site work over 3 acres.

● Installation of Generator Systems over 500 kilowatts.

*Examples of acceptable institutional buildings are: schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, laboratories and airports. Residential, retail, warehouses and industrial buildings will not be considered institutional buildings.

A single project identical in all aspects to this project may not exist, and therefore the Government will consider the combination of experience demonstrated by the three (3) submitted projects. Significantly more weight will be given to individual projects meeting all or most of the key elements.

Negligible relevant experience in one or more key elements may result in an unacceptable rating for this factor.

Having relevant construction experience helps demonstrate capability to perform the work required under this contract. In assessing the experience level and assigning a rating for this factor, the Government will consider the similarity of the experience to the work required under this contract, including scope, complexity and magnitude.

Complexity includes schedule constraints, management and administrative requirements, security requirements, applicable design criteria, coordination requirements, local conditions, as well as technical complexity.

Offerors shall complete all blocks on each form. Lack of response on any field may be interpreted by the Government as a non-responsive proposal or the uncertainty and associated risk may result in a lower rating for this factor. The burden of providing complete and accurate information lies with the Offeror;

however this does not preclude the Government from obtaining information from any other source.

Limit each Project Fact Sheet, Attachment A2, to no more than three (3) 8 ½” x 11” pages. Each page shall be one sided, single spaced, with a minimum 11 point Times New Roman font. If the information submitted exceeds the page limitations, only the first three (3) pages will be evaluated.

Note for Joint-Venture Offerors: The Joint Venture Offeror must have served as the Prime GC or CMc on the submitted projects. If relying on past experience and performance of the individual firms, at least one (1) project must be presented for each Joint-Venture partner. Greater weight will be given to projects that demonstrate prior teaming of the Joint-Venture partners.

Evaluation Standards for Factor No. 1

This factor considers the extent of the offeror’s recent and relevant construction experience on similar projects. The offeror’s response will be evaluated to determine the depth and breadth of the offeror’s past experience in successfully completing similar projects.

Excellent The experience submitted is extensive, substantially relevant, and demonstrates significant similarities to the work required under this contract. Experience completing projects comparable or greater in scope, magnitude, and/or complexity is demonstrated. Weaknesses, if any, are minor and are far outweighed by significant strengths. There is a very low level of risk.

Good The experience submitted is substantially relevant and demonstrates significant similarities to the work required under this contract. Weaknesses, if any, are not significant and are outweighed by strengths. There is a low level of risk.

Acceptable The experience submitted is relevant and demonstrates similarities to the work required under this contract. Although all elements of experience may be present, this contract generally has a higher level of scope, magnitude, and/or complexity than the individual submitted projects. Weaknesses are generally balanced by strengths. There is a moderate level of risk.

Unacceptable The experience submitted is minimally or not relevant. The scope, magnitude and/or complexity of this contract far exceeds that of the submitted projects. Key element(s) of experience are lacking. Although strengths may exist, the proposal contains a significant weakness or deficiency. There is an unacceptable level of risk.

2) FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

The purpose of this factor is to review the offeror’s record of past performance on relevant construction projects.

The Offeror shall submit Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) included in the solicitation as (Attachment A4), completed by the applicable client, for each project included in its proposal for FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE ON RELEVANT PROJECTS.

Completed PPQs should be submitted with the proposal. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project before proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete the first page of the PPQ as well as the Client Point of Contact Information and shall submit it with a statement of what attempt was made by the Offeror (e.g. “Sent to Mr. Smith by email on 06/15/2019”). If the client requests, the client may submit a questionnaire directly to the Government's Contracting Officer, Olga Rodriguez via email at Olga.Rodriguez@gsa.gov and Government’s Contract Specialist, Natalia Lugo-Vina via email at Natalia.Lugo-VinaCruz@gsa.gov prior to proposal closing date. Offerors may resubmit questionnaires previously submitted with other proposals or may obtain an updated/new PPQ from a client for any submission. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs.

You may also include performance recognition documents received within the last six

(6) years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), previously submitted PPQ information, and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

While the Government may elect to consider data from a variety of sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror. GSA will not maintain a database of completed PPQs submitted by Offerors.

Evaluation Standards for Factor No. 2

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of recent and relevant past performance on construction projects. Using the past performance information, the mailto:Olga.Rodriguez@gsa.gov mailto:Natalia.Lugo-VinaCruz@gsa.gov

Government will perform a performance confidence assessment of the probability of successfully completing this contract. The Government will assess the past performance on projects submitted under FACTOR 1 and reserves the right to conduct telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal, and/or to review other recent project ratings in PPIRS or other agency performance databases, review and/or contact offeror furnished references, or to review personal knowledge.

The Government will first assess the relevancy of the projects as compared to the scope of this contract. Performance on projects which are more similar to this contract is more heavily weighted than performance on work that involved little or none of the scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities this contract requires.

The Government will next consider how well the offeror performed on the contracts. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor performance. With respect to relevancy, past performance on projects with more relevance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment rating than past performance on projects of lesser relevance.

If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government in mainly interested in past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer. Owners/references may be asked to comment on items such as quality of design or construction, timeliness, management of the work subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations between owner or designer and contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting construction errors, warranty work, etc. The Government places a higher value on projects which document successful outcomes and are supported by outside source confirmation, for example, but not limited to telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal, CPARS, PPIRS, or other agency performance databases, offeror furnished references, or personal knowledge. The Government also places a higher value on projects that provided particularly difficult or unique challenges and the innovative methods the contractor used to resolve problems successfully.

The rating for this factor will be expressed as a degree of confidence in the offeror’s ability to successfully accomplish the contract requirements. The rating system used for the performance confidence assessment is described below.

If the offeror includes multiple firms, each entity (firm) will be rated on its own performance or that of its predecessor, if relevant. An entity may not establish past performance based on the past performance of its proposed key personnel, apart from that of the entity. If the Government does not obtain past performance information for relevant projects identified by the offeror and cannot establish a meaningful past performance record for the Offeror through other sources, past performance will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The performance confidence assessment will be considered “Unknown Confidence”.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Substantial Confidence The offeror’s past performance record on relevant projects demonstrates a pattern of successful performance and high level of client satisfaction. Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Previous clients are generally satisfied. Any marginal or unsatisfactory remarks in any aspect of performance are balanced by excellent, or very good remarks. There is no significant unfavorable performance information. This rating may also be assigned if there is a pattern of excellent performance, but the projects are not highly relevant.

Limited Confidence The offeror’s recent/relevant performance record includes one or more unfavorable (marginal or unsatisfactory) remarks that are not offset by sufficient examples of positive performance. The record may indicate eventual satisfactory performance that required significant government or owner oversight in order to achieve.

Unacceptably Low Confidence The offeror’s recent/relevant performance record includes one or more significantly unfavorable (marginal or unsatisfactory) remarks that are not offset by sufficient examples of positive performance. The response lacks essential information to substantiate the data presented. The record instills little to no confidence in the Government that the offeror will successfully perform the required work.

FACTOR 3: QUALIFICATIONS OF KEY PERSONNEL

This factor assesses the qualifications of the proposed key personnel in terms of their academic/professional qualifications and their related work experience. The individuals presented must be the individuals who will be assigned to the project.

The offeror shall submit resumes for each of the key personnel proposed for this project for the positions identified below. Resumes shall include all pertinent information that clearly exhibits the qualifications of the proposed personnel. Resumes for each individual shall summarize the qualifications, professional designation, experience, education, skills and professional background information. Resumes must list the key personnel’s roles/responsibilities for the projects listed. An example resume format is provided as Attachment A3. Submit resumes for the following positions:

• Project Manager

• Project Coordinator (Construction Superintendent)

Expected Qualifications for Key Personnel:

• Project Manager: The Project Manager for this contract shall have a college degree (Bachelors) in an Architecture, Engineering, or Construction discipline.

The Project Manager should have at least ten (10) years of construction project management experience having managed projects relevant to this contract. The Project Manager should have experience with electronic project management (ePM) tools. A more favorable evaluation will be given to offerors who submit a Project Manager who exceeds the minimum requirements and has experience with ePM.

• Project Coordinator (Construction Superintendent): The Project Coordinator shall have a minimum of ten (10) years of construction experience as a superintendent on projects relevant to this contract. The Project Coordinator should have experience with electronic project management (ePM) tools. A more favorable evaluation will be given to offerors who submit a Project Coordinator who exceeds the minimum requirements and has experience with ePM.

Evaluation Standards for Factor No. 3

The Government will evaluate the required information to determine how well the offeror demonstrates that its key personnel meet or exceed the expectations and minimum qualifications, which include previous satisfactory experience in similar type work, to manage, control and perform construction. Performance of key personnel proposed for this project may be taken into account when it comes to the attention of the Government.

Excellent Key personnel exceed expected qualifications and demonstrate substantial experience on projects similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity to this contract. Weaknesses, if any, are minor and are far outweighed by significant strengths. There is a very low level of risk.

Good Key personnel meets expected qualifications and demonstrate some experience on projects similar in scope, magnitude and complexity to this contract. Weaknesses, if any, are not significant and are outweighed by strengths. There is a low level of risk.

Acceptable Prior experience of key personnel may not be fully relevant in some cases, although key personnel substantially meet minimum expectations. Weaknesses are generally balanced by strengths. For example a lower education level (Associate's Degree where Bachelors is expected) may be balanced by additional years of relevant professional experience. There is a moderate level of risk.

Unacceptable

The experience, skill and qualifications of one or more of the key personnel proposed do not meet the requirements. The response lacks essential information to substantiate the data presented to the extent that the criteria/requirements can be satisfied. The requirements may only be met with major changes to the proposal.

Although strengths may exist, the proposal contains a significant weakness or deficiency. There is an unacceptable level of risk.

Use the following adjective ratings and definitions in your evaluation of the Contractor’s performance.

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional

Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good

Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactor y

Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.
