(3) Factor 3 – Past Performance
Questionnaire on Sample Projects
This subfactor addresses the past performance of the Offeror’s team as it relates to quality of work, timeliness of performance, management of personnel and subcontractors, and overall customer satisfaction for particular recent and relevant projects meeting the requirements listed below. The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance shall be considered in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i). The Offeror will complete blocks 1-4 of the “Past Performance
Questionnaire” which is included in the solicitation. In the event that the Questionnaire is being sent for a major subcontractor’s reference only, be sure to indicate the Offeror for which the Questionnaire is part of the proposal
[e.g. Firm Name: Subcontractor (on behalf of Prime Contractor for this solicitation). If the Questionnaire is submitted for a major subcontractor, the major subcontractor’s role must also be demonstrated in the
Organizational Chart as described in the factor 2. The Offeror will send one to each sample project’s reference
(the client), and the clients will submit the fully completed Questionnaires directly to the applicable Government point of contact stated on the last page of the Questionnaire. The “client” is the organization, entity, or property owner for whom the work was performed; general contractors, partners, subcontractors, or designers who performed the work in whole or in part are not “clients” and should not complete or submit a Questionnaire. The
Offeror is solely responsible for providing the Questionnaire to their references/clients. The Offeror is solely responsible for following up with each reference/client to encourage the client’s timely submission of the fully completed Questionnaire directly to the Government POCs indicated on the Questionnaire. GSA will not accept completed Questionnaires sent directly from the Offeror, nor from any joint venture member, subcontractor, teaming member, parent company, or other affiliate, nor will GSA accept any Questionnaire other than the version attached to this solicitation. GSA evaluators will attempt to contact those clients who submit Questionnaires, based on email addresses and/or phone numbers provided. The Offeror is authorized to provide information on problems encountered on the identified sample projects and the Offeror’s corrective actions. GSA evaluators can also (but are not required to) consider past performance on projects which are not submitted or identified by the
Offeror’s team, but which are identified by other methods, previously obtained past performance information, and through other known sources. The Government is not required to obtain past performance information from other sources and can (but is not required to) base evaluation ratings on only the information identified through the
Offeror, if any.
For the purposes of this evaluation and this subfactor:
• “Recent” is defined as a contract, order, or call completed within the last five (5) years as of the date of the solicitation’s original issuance, or within five (5) years of the date the solicitation was amended to request proposals.
• “Relevant” is defined as a fixed-priced contract, order, or call that meets all the elements of scope, magnitude and complexity described below, which is similar in comparison to the types of work listed in the Statement of Work of the solicitation. The sample projects submitted may have been federal, state, or private sector contracts.
▪ Scope: Fixed-price fire alarm, installation, upgrade, and/or alteration to real property in or on a multi-story, occupied building
▪ Complexity: Similarity of technical difficulty, managerial involvement and/or coordination efforts, potential obstacles, specialized requirements or locations, and labor disciplines involved, in comparison to the objectives and work listed in the Scope of Work
▪ Magnitude: Similarity of the dollar value, meaning a final project equal to or greater than
$250,000.
• “Similar” project is defined as a NFPA Compliant fire alarm system upgrade project and/or NFPA
Compliant Fire Alarm Installation with construction costs equal to or greater than $250,000. The project may involve the following disciplines -- architectural, electrical, fire alarm, fire sprinkler, elevator, and telecommunications
• “Complete” as it pertains to the Questionnaire itself means that a client provided a clear rating for each of the nine (9) statements or questions on page three (3) of the
Questionnaire and signed and dated the Questionnaire. Missing or unclear ratings for any of the nine elements may be identified or clarified when the GSA representative contacts the client.
• “Major subcontractor” is defined as a subcontractor performing any of the following:
Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) or fire alarm installation; and their work can be evaluated through Questionnaires.
• “Acceptable” is defined as a PBS Past Performance Questionnaire in the version in the solicitation for a project that is recent, relevant, similar, and complete; performed by the prime, a joint venture partner, a major subcontractor, or a parent company (if that parent company will be directly involved with performance of this contract), that addresses all rating elements, and is verifiable with the client. A CPARS report should not be provided by the contractor in lieu of a past performance questionnaire. Any CPARS report that is provided by the contractor is not acceptable.
• A project submitted on a Questionnaire cannot already have a completed final Contractor
Performance Assessment Report, as described in section 1.b. below.
• Although only one Questionnaire may be submitted by a client for each project, it is possible that Questionnaires for the same project(s) could be obtained by the Government from other sources. Sample projects that receive more than one Questionnaire will have their individual
Questionnaire result averaged for that sample project.
• “Client” is defined as the organization, entity, or property owner for which the work was done.
General contractors, partners, subcontractors, or designers who performed the work in question, in whole or in part, are not “clients” and should not complete or submit a Questionnaire. Any one client may submit Questionnaires for multiple sample projects – each project must be on a separate Questionnaire.
• “Occupied building” is defined as a building or structure populated in whole or in part by the client’s or organization’s personnel (including administrative, janitorial, and other staff)during the period of performance of the work to the degree that arrangements must be made to work around either personnel or schedules, considering noise, safety, entrances/exits, foot traffic, restroom access, lighting/electricity, heating/cooling/ventilation, water/plumbing, and maintaining the client’s business functionality. Work done in or on an unoccupied building or structure, such as new construction, is not considered relevant for evaluation purposes under this subfactor.
For a sample project to be included in the Questionnaire score it must be recent, relevant, similar, complete, and verified by the client for whom the project was performed or by the reference who submitted the
Questionnaire. The Offeror is solely responsible for ensuring that Questionnaires are for projects that meet all the requirements for acceptability.
Note:
The Offeror must demonstrate successful contract performance for no more than two (2) recent, similar, relevant, verified projects completed within five (5) years of the date of the issuance of the solicitation, or within five (5) years of the date the solicitation. Offerors must have two (2) acceptable Questionnaires for projects no less than $250,000. Offerors may ask clients to submit more than two (2) Questionnaires;
however, if more than three (3) Questionnaires are received the Government will disregard all beyond the first three (3) acceptable Questionnaires received (as determined by the date and time the email arrives in the GSA Contracting Officer’s email inbox) and may not evaluate them in any way. The
Government reserves the right to consider past performance projects that it identifies independently of and other than the Offeror’s submitted sample projects that the Government determines to be relevant to this solicitation.
PAST SAMPLE PROJECTS:
Sample projects submitted that are not complete, recent, relevant, or similar as defined above will not be considered acceptable or included in the evaluation. The Offeror is responsible for identifying only projects that are complete, recent, relevant, and similar as defined above, with factual information provided in blocks one through four (1-4) on page one (1) of the Past Performance Questionnaire attached to this solicitation. Questionnaires other than the form attached to this solicitation will not be accepted or evaluated in any way. If the Offeror materially misrepresents information relating to its past performance, the Government may reject the proposal in its entirety.
Submitted sample projects should be examples of the Offeror’s own work to the greatest extent possible.
If the Offeror does not have experience that fits the requirements stated above, sample projects can be submitted for work done by a major subcontractor of the Offeror, or by one or any of the joint venture partners if the Offeror is a joint venture. Past performance information is proprietary source selection information, and the Government will discuss it directly with the Offeror only with consent of the subcontractor; however, if there is a concern with a proposed subcontractor’s past performance, the
Offeror can be notified of the issue during discussions (if held) or debriefing (if requested). If the
Contracting Officer cannot determine that a sample project significantly correlates to the Offeror’s ability to perform the contract, that sample project’s Questionnaire may be removed from consideration and not be included. The Offeror will not be informed if a sample project is evaluated or removed from evaluation for any reason, unless a debriefing is requested in accordance with FAR subpart15.5. If one or more sample projects/Questionnaires are removed from evaluation for any reason, the Offeror will not have the opportunity to arrange for other sample projects/Questionnaires to be submitted.
The client shall submit completed questionnaires to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist directly.
The reference (client) listed on each Past Performance Questionnaire must be available to be contacted by the Government. The Government will make no more than two (2) attempts to contact each client. The
Offeror should ensure all contact information, phone numbers and email addresses are current and valid at the time the proposal is submitted. If the Government cannot contact a client, that project’s Questionnaire will not be included in the past performance result. The Offeror is solely responsible for following up with each client to encourage their timely submission of the completed, signed Questionnaire.
Questionnaires received by the Government later than the time and date specified in the Solicitation for receipt of proposals will not be accepted or evaluated. The Offeror will not be told by the Government how many Questionnaires were received or accepted unless a debriefing is requested in accordance with
FAR subpart 15.5.
The Government may consider references regarding the offeror’s performance on contracts not submitted by the offeror, whether similar or not, that the Government is aware of during the evaluation process. The
Government will not be responsible if reference telephone numbers provided by the offeror are not current; if reference declines to comment, or if references cannot be contacted within two (two) attempts.
Expressed facts and opinions obtained as part of the past performance evaluation constitute protected and proprietary “Source Selection Information”. GSA will only discuss past performance information directly with the prospective prime contractor that is being reviewed (the Offeror). If there is a concern with the past performance of a proposed subcontractor, the Offeror can be notified of an issue, but no details may be discussed without the subcontractor’s written permission.
Offerors will be provided an opportunity to respond to all adverse reports if they have not previously had the opportunity. Adverse is defined as past performance information that contains a less than satisfactory or acceptable assessment on any evaluated element. An unfavorable comment within past performance information which contains only satisfactory or better assessments on evaluated elements does not constitute adverse past performance. Offerors and subcontractors will not be provided an opportunity to see, respond to, or comment upon positive or satisfactory reports.
Standard of Evaluation
The standard of evaluation is met when the Offeror has documented significant experience providing construction/installation services for two (2) similar projects in the past five (5) years. The Offeror has satisfactorily demonstrated their knowledge and experience in providing fire alarm system buildout comparable to those to be encountered in this project. The Offeror has documented its ability to deliver the completed projects within a fixed schedule and within the prescribed budget. The Offeror has documented its ability to provide services that ensured compliance with the Scope of Work, prescribed budget, and schedule.
The references contacted provide favorable evaluations indicating that the projects have met or exceeded the customers’ requirements as set forth in the construction contract documents (drawings and specifications) in a timely manner, and within established budgets. The past performance reference must state the Client would hire the contractor again to be determined technically acceptable.
The Government has no obligation to ensure that an equal number of references are obtained for each
Offeror.
The Government reserves the right to award without discussions; therefore, all proposals must be correct and complete at initial submission. If any information is missing or unclear, and/or if the Government cannot determine that a project is recent and relevant, the sample project’s Questionnaire will be removed from consideration and will not be included in the past performance result. The Offeror will not be informed if a sample project is evaluated or removed from evaluation for any reason, unless a debriefing is requested in accordance with FAR subpart 15.5. If one or more sample projects/Questionnaires are removed from evaluation for any reason, the Offeror will not have the opportunity to arrange for other sample projects/Questionnaires to be submitted.

I. INTRODUCTION
An Asbestos Building Audit Survey (ABAS) Re-inspection was conducted at the Gallup
Federal Building located at Third and Hill Streets in Gallup, New Mexico (NM0038). The purpose of the Re-Inspection was to assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) previously identified in the ABAS conducted in January 1995, Re-
Inspections completed in December 2005, and August 2011. Additionally, any suspect materials not previously observed were sampled and documented as to condition and specific building location. Floor plans for room area locations and asbestos containing materials have also been updated to reflect the information available at the time of the
Reinspection.
This Re-inspection utilized information from the previous asbestos surveys conducted in 1995 December 2005, and August 2011. These surveys identified the following asbestos containing materials:
Boiler flue insulation
Vinyl floor tile and mastic Residual black tile mastic
Thermal System Insulation (TSI) in pipe chase
Building renovations have been performed since the last survey. On approximately
February 2019 asbestos containing floor tile and mastic was removed from rooms 146-
148, 207, 207A, 207B, 207E, 215, 224, 224B, 230, 301, 303, 307, 310, 310A, 311, 311A, 315, 315A, 317, 317A, 319, 319A, and 319B. On the third-floor asbestos containing TSI pipe insulation from the pipe chase was removed.
II. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The Gallup Federal Building (NM0038ZZ) located at Third and Hill Streets in Gallup, New Mexico is a three-story building with an elevator penthouse. Adjacent to the facility is a one level parking garage with a mechanical room. At the southeast corner of the property is a building that formerly housed the BIA Soils Laboratory. It was constructed in 1968 and contains approximately 92, 500 square feet of usable floor space. At the time of the Reinspection, the building largely housed agencies associated with BIA.
A ground floor level hot water boiler provides building heating. Cooling is provided by a closed- loop chilled water system coupled with a cooling tower.
Interior finishes include plaster walls, wallboard walls, acoustical tile drop ceilings, carpet and adhesive, vinyl floor tile and mastic, and vinyl base cove and adhesive.
III. SUMMARY OF ACM FINDINGS
Findings below are based on results from the Building Audit Surveys conducted in
1995, 2005, 2010, 2019, and from additional sampling performed as part of this assessment. A total of 21 samples were collected and analyzed in an effort to update available records. Wall plaster and four different types of window caulking were collected.
These building materials were not collected during the previous surveys. All were found to contain no asbestos.

Vinyl floor tile and or mastic exists throughout the main building and in approximately 20% of the Soils Lab. In most cases, f loor tile and mastic are overlain by carpet.
A sample collected from the inside door surface of the abandoned air handler in garage mechanical room G-3 was found to contain asbestos. The material is non-friable. The material may be present elsewhere within the unit.
5 Nov 2019
Non-ACM Materials
This category includes materials that were considered suspect and were sampled during this re- inspection or during prior surveys and were not found to be asbestos containing:
Acoustical ceiling tile and ceiling tile mastic, wallboard (sheetrock) joint compound, texturing, duct insulation, sealants (white), cove base and mastic, mechanical pipe fittings, insulation, roof drain insulation, domestic water fitting insulations. plaster, and caulking.
Bulk Sample Results
The previous surveys included analytical results for 133 bulk samples. A total of 18 bulk samples were collected and analyzed as part of this Re-inspection. A summary of sampling and analytical results can be found in Appendix C.
IV. PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT OF ACM CONDITIONS
As a result of the survey, the presence of asbestos was documented for several types of building materials. The physical assessments and the appropriate EPA/AHERA
Decision Tree/Response Action Key for these materials are summarized below.
Response Action 7 - Low Concern
These identified Functional Spaces and Homogeneous Areas were positively identified to contain ACM Fibers. The physical assessments were all judged NO
DAMAGE, with a MODERATE Potential for DAMAGE and pose a minimal health hazard, as long as they are properly maintained.
Room 119 Mechanical Boiler Flue Insulation
(12%-15% Chrysotile)
Disturbance of this material is unlikely unless exposed during renovations or maintenance.
Response Action 8 - Low Concern
These identified Functional Spaces and Homogeneous Areas were positively identified to contain ACM Fibers, but the physical assessments were all considered to be Non-Friable and/or of Low Accessibility, and as a result, pose minimal health hazard as long as they are properly maintained.
Miscellaneous ACM
Throughout Various Floor Tile and Mastic
(1%-5% Chrysotile)
Soils Lab Office, Storage Floor Tile and Mastic
(1%-5% Chrysotile)
Suite 262 Office Residual Black Mastic
(3%-5% Chrysotile)
6 Nov 2019
Mech. G-3 Mechanical AHU Door Coating
(5%-7% Chrysotile)
Asbestos containing floor tile and mastic remain throughout the building exposed and under carpet. All black floor mastic should be assumed to be asbestos containing.
Tarry coating existed on the inside of the AHU access door. Additional coating material may be present within the unit.
7 Nov 2019
V. ACTION PLAN PRIORITIES
The Re-inspection of the Gallup Federal Building has assessed the location and physical condition of ACM previously identified by an Asbestos Survey Report performed in 1995, updated 2005, 2011, and 2019. An additional eighteen samples were collected and analyzed for further confirmation. The physical condition of all of these materials represent some level of concern and associated response action. It is imperative that an updated ACTION PLAN takes into consideration the results of this
Building Audit Survey Re-inspection documentation. This will assist in prioritizing required administrative actions, as well as preventing any additional damage or release of any suspect ACM from occurring in these identified materials.
Based on the observations documented and the physical assessment of conditions for future disturbance or degree of damage identified, EPA/AHERA criteria have standardized the following specific Decision Tree/Response Action Key recommendations for the types of materials identified:

Action Plan Description
Continue O&M, until major renovation or demolition requires removal under NESHAPS, or until hazard assessment factors change.
NOTE: Estimates do not include costs for material replacement.
General Recommendations
1. Additional sampling and physical inspections of all identified/suspect ACM materials prior to any scheduled renovation, demolition, or disturbance of the areas identified are recommended. Classify all referenced suspect materials as asbestos-containing until laboratory tests prove otherwise.
2. Maintain all identified/suspect ACM in good condition until removed or replaced.
3. Annually, hereafter, verify contractor/building maintenance personnel with updated
EPA/AHERA accredited asbestos training, to provide adequate administrative support in understanding the identified asbestos building conditions and the options available in maintaining and servicing these materials safely.
Another administrative consideration for the resulting Audit Survey documentation is background information for the establishment of frequencies for air monitoring surveys and visual inspections, when there are indications that material could become damaged by changes in building use, changes in operations and maintenance practices, or with changes in occupancy.
A review of this report should be performed prior to scheduling any renovation or demolition work within this building to assure that all suspect asbestos-containing material locations have been identified. Subsequent to this inspection, if a previously concealed or undetermined suspect building material is identified, it shall be treated as asbestos-containing, until laboratory analysis proves otherwise.

1.3 ASBESTOS INSPECTION REPORT
The O&M plan is based on the inspection report listed below.
Asbestos Building Audit Survey Reinspection (NM0038) Gallup Federal Building Third and Hill Gallup, NM
2.0 SITE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 GENERAL
Asbestos is a mineral that is mined predominantly in Canada, South Africa, and
Russia. It forms long, thin fibers that may be only 0.33 microns wide (1 micron = 1 millionth of a meter), which are not visible to the human eye. Because they are so small, asbestos fibers can remain airborne for long periods of time. Three forms of asbestos are commonly used commercially: chrysotile, crocidolite, and amosite (often known as white, blue, and brown, respectively). While some countries regulate these minerals separately, US regulatory agencies consider them equally hazardous and group them together within the regulations. Three forms of asbestos less commonly used commercially are tremolite, actinolite, and anthophyllite.
Much of what is known about asbestos-related diseases comes from studying workers in the various asbestos industries. Exposure to levels of airborne asbestos typical of the asbestos work place prior to 1972 has been related to a significantly higher incidence of asbestosis, a debilitating lung disease; mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the chest and abdominal lining; and cancers of the lung, esophagus, stomach, colon, and other organs.
