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

Technical Factor 1: Prior Experience on Relevant Projects This criterion will be used to measure the breadth, depth, and relevance of an Offeror’s experience in performing contracts and projects similar in size, scope and complexity to the one described in this solicitation.

For purposes of evaluation, a “ project ” is a discrete project, and is not an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) , Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or other type of master ordering instruments. Ordering instruments are considered a “contract” for purposes of evaluation.

Pertaining to this factor, each offer shall submit the following:

a. Factor 1 Primary Projects Detailed Narrative - The technical proposal must include a detailed narrative of three (3) primary Factor 1 projects submitted in response to Technical Factor 1,

b. Project Experience Information Worksheet completed for the offeror’s three

(3) primary Factor 1 projects, and

c. Experience Workbook Spreadsheet (excel).

The Factor 1 Primary Projects Detailed Narrative will be evaluated to determine project relevance to this procurement.

RELEVANCY CHARACTERISTICS

Project characteristics that will tend to demonstrate that a firm's prior experience is relevant to this project include the following:

1. General Construction / Repair and Alteration Experience including but not limited to:

• Roof repair and installation

(Historically, the vast majority of projects fall towards the lower end of the $2,000.00 and $250,000.00 range. As a result, GSA considers demonstration of prior experience towards the lower end of this range (ie: between $10,000 and $50,000) to be more relevant under this technical factor);

8. Project in an occupied building;

9. Project Specialty Trade Experience (i.e. Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Fire Alarm, etc.).

For each project included in your submission, please include the following:

1. Project name and description;

2. Project location;

3. Project start/completion date;

4. Percentage and description of self-performed work;

5. Contract value at time of award and contract value at project completion;

6. Indicate whether the project is a Federal Government project located in a

Federal Building

9. Indicate Project Delivery Method

- Traditional-Design/Bid/Build

- Design/Build

The offerors shall also submit the “Experience Workbook” and provide no more than 25 contracts and/or projects performed within the last 5 years from the proposal due date.

These projects shall meet the same “Relevancy Characteristics” outlined above. The purpose of this spreadsheet is to demonstrate an offeror’s relevant prior experience, in addition to what is provided in each offeror’s Factor 1 Primary Projects Detailed Narrative, and the ability to simultaneously perform multiple projects of varying scope, size, and complexity for a variety of clients in multiple locations within the past 5 years. The contracts and projects the offeror selects must be relevant to the solicitation and future task orders that will be placed against this IDIQ. An offeror is not required to submit 25 projects, this is the maximum. These projects will be evaluated for relevancy Extra consideration will be given to firms demonstrating an Experience Workbook containing relevant project characteristics.

Projects that are not at least 75% (Period of Performance) complete will not be considered relevant.

*General Construction for this solicitation is defined as the supervision, administration, and performance for all construction activities required to complete a project successfully.

Construction activities for the anticipated solicitation include but are not limited to commercial office construction and/or renovations/repairs, MEP (Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing) repairs/modifications/replacement, fire sprinkler systems repairs/modification/replacement, sitework, exterior construction repair and alterations (including facades and roofs), demolition (including abatement of hazardous materials), elevator modernizations and any other construction activities the government may require.

Please note the PPQ requests mentioned above are for projects completed within the last three (3) years.

c. 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 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS/UEI 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 PPQs submitted by Offerors.

NOTE : THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO CONTACT ALL CLIENT POCS

PROVIDED TO VERIFY THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO.

d. Offerors shall NOT incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs.

e. If proposing a joint venture, Offerors must first submit past performance records demonstrating that they have performed together. These experiences will receive more consideration than experiences performed separately.

f. If the Offeror has no record of relevant past performance or the information on their past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. This rating shall be characterized as "neutral".

Proposals that exhibit relevant experiences and provide the Government a high level of confidence that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort will receive the highest ratings. If an offeror’s past performance indicates any unsatisfactory performance on previous projects this may be considered additional risk and be assigned a weakness.

III.H. Contractor Performance Information

(1) Evaluating Contractor Performance: The General Services Administration is using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) module as the secure, confidential, information management tool to facilitate the performance evaluation process. CPARS enables a comprehensive evaluation by capturing comments from both GSA and the contractor. The website for CPARS is Contractor Performance Assessment Completed CPARS evaluations may then be used by Federal acquisition community for use in making source selection decisions. CPARS assists acquisition officials by serving as the single source for contractor past performance data.

AWARDEES shall be evaluated at the IDIQ base level annually.

(2) CPARS Registration: Each award requiring an evaluation must be registered in CPARS. The contractor will receive several automated emails. Within thirty days of award, the contractor will receive an email that contains user account information, as well as the applicable contract and order number(s) assigned. Contractors will be granted one user account to access all evaluations.

(3) Contractor CPARS Training: Contractors may sign up for CPARS training. A schedule of classes will be posted to the CPARS training site (CPARS Training) and updated as needed.

(4) Contractor Representative (CR) Role: All evaluations will be sent the Contractor Representative (CR) named on your award. The CR will be able to access CPARS to review and comment on the evaluation. If your CR is not already in the CPARS system, the contracting officer will request the name and email address of the person that will be responsible for the CR role on your award.

Once an evaluation is ready to be released the CR will receive an email alerting them the evaluation is ready for their review and comment. The email will indicate the time frame the CR has to respond to the evaluation; however, the CR may return the evaluation earlier than this date.

GSA shall provide for review at a level above the contracting officer (i.e., contracting director) to consider any disagreement between GSA and the contractor regarding GSA’s evaluation of the contractor.
