The resumes must clearly present the separate credentials of each proposed key team member, and must provide a concise summary of each individual’s separate duties and responsibilities as proposed for this project. Resumes for each individual must include educational qualifications, if applicable and three (3) to five (5) project examples demonstrating the individual’s experience. Project examples shall be actual projects, not references to contractual vehicles (i.e. indefinite quantity indefinite delivery contracts, blanket purchase agreements, etc.) or groups of projects for a particular owner (i.e. “Various construction projects for GSA PBS Region 10”). Any projects submitted beyond this limit shall not be considered. Projects shall be relevant examples of similar size, scope and complexity (allowance will be made for larger projects). The three (3) to six (6) resumes (depending if individuals are performing more than one function as allowed) shall be no more than eighteen (18)pages total (e.g. up to three (3) pages total per individual, excluding copies of professional licenses, certifications, and pertinent personal awards).

Resumes must indicate past experience information on no less than (3) relevant projects of similar size, scope and complexity. Relevant is defined as projects similar to the project in this solicitation in size (i.e. type of facility and dollar value) and which have a logical connection with the requirements of this solicitation.

FACTOR 3 – SCHEDULE:

The Offeror shall provide a comprehensive and fully developed Critical Path Method (CPM) project schedule (with a minimum of 25 activities in the CPM network and no page limit). The proposed schedule will run from the contract award date, bonds/insurance/security clearances, initial NTP, submittals, material ordering/lead time, demolition, construction, quality assurance reviews, key project meetings, acceptance testing, substantial completion, punch list item completion, warranty, retesting, closeout, etc. The network logic shall be linked, and the logic shall show the general management approach to designing and constructing and commissioning of the systems related to the Project. Float time between activities shall be calculated and identified.

Within each construction activity's time bar, indicate estimated completion percentages in not more than 10 percent increments and as work progresses, place marks in the bars to indicate actual completion percentages.

47PL0121R0003, Volume 1 - RFP Page 16

Phasing: Arrange schedule to show how sequence of work is affected by requirements for phased completion, work by separate contractors, work by Government, Government-furnished items, coordination with existing work, limitations of continued occupancies, non-interruptible services, partial completion for occupancy, site restrictions, provisions for future work, seasonal variations, environmental control, and similar provisions of the project.

Individual Work Stages: Show significant stages for each category or unit of work, including where applicable, but not necessarily limited to, submittals, purchases, mockups, fabrication, sample testing, delivery, installation, testing, adjusting, curing, start-up and placement into final use and operation. In addition to the schedule, Offeror is to provide a narrative describing scheduling and coordination. The narrative shall identify milestones critical to the project, schedule coordination to meet construction time frame, inspection and testing, submittals, long lead items. The Narrative should clearly define the offerors’ understanding of the project and ability to meet the construction period of performance requirement as described in the RFP and Scope of Work (SOW).

Standard for Evaluation:

This standard is met if the Offeror provides a technical approach narrative and CPM schedule.

The information provided is generally tailored to the requirements of this project. The technical approach describes the offerors approach to phasing and the coordination of resources to minimize the impact on the tenant population. The schedule shall represent the contractor’s phased approach and clearly identify key milestones from award to substantial completion.

Offerors that demonstrate a schedule of completion less than 195 calendar days with minimal additional risk, may be rated more favorably.

FACTOR 4: PAST PERFORMANCE OF OFFEROR

In accordance with FAR 42.1503(e) and GSAM 515.305, past performance of the proposed offeror will be evaluated using the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). If an offeror does not have past performance information available from FAPIIS or CPARS, the information received from the examples submitted from the Offeror will be used. A lack of past performance information will result in a neutral rating during evaluation. Government databases will be checked and previous customers may be contacted as references.

PPIRS assists acquisition officials by serving as the single source for contractor past performance data.
