EASTERN FEDERAL LANDS HIGHWAY DIVISION

BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY

PROJECT NP-BLRI 2H16

Linn Cove Viaduct Rehabilitation of Post-Tension Anchorage and Structure Cleaning

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

RFP No. 693C73-19-R-000005

Project Description: The project consists of post-tensioning anchorage repairs, graffiti removal, and structure cleaning at Milepost (MP) 304.02 of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The project is located in Avery County, North Carolina.

The construction cost for the project is estimated to be between $500,000 and $1,000,000.

Scope of Work: The detailed scope of work to be undertaken by the successful Offeror under the contract for this project is outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation documents.

These include the Plans, Special Contract Requirements (J Pages), and supplemental Government Furnished Information.

Procurement Overview of the Project: In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 14.5, the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) is conducting a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process for this project. Under this Notice, the EFLHD (also referred to as “the Government”) is soliciting all eligible Contractor firms/teams (Offerors) to participate in a two-step RFP process. The two steps will include the submittal of two proposal packages; a Technical Proposal and a Price Proposal. A description of these proposals and their requirements can be found in the RFP’s Proposal Instructions (B Pages).

During step one, a selection evaluation board will review and evaluate the technical proposals submitted by all interested, responsive Offerors. The selection committee will select qualified Offerors based on the pass/fail (acceptable/unacceptable) evaluation criteria as stated in the RFP’s Proposal Instructions - Evaluation of Proposal Documents (B Pages). Offerors should submit technical proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information.

The Government may make a final determination regarding a technical proposal’s acceptability solely on the basis of the technical proposal as submitted. The Government may proceed with the second step (lowest price evaluation) without requesting further information from any Offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from any Offeror with a technical proposal considered reasonable and close to acceptable, and may discuss any technical proposal with any Offeror. Only one technical proposal may be submitted by each Offeror. The step one technical proposal shall not include any prices or pricing information.

During step two, only technical proposals determined to be acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. The price proposals corresponding to the acceptable technical proposals will be opened and ranked according to price and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible Offeror as stated in the RFP’s Proposal Instructions - Basis of Award (B Pages). Only one price proposal may be submitted by each Offeror and the price proposal must be based upon the Offeror’s own technical proposal.

As stated in FAR Clause 52.236-1, the Contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 50% of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract.

Contract award is anticipated to be no earlier than March 2019, with Notice to Proceed anticipated to be issued after the receipt of valid Performance and Payment Bonds (see Block 12a of the SF-1412 and FAR Clause 52.228-15), and the anticipated start of construction activities to be no earlier than April 2019. See Subsection 108.01 of the Special Contract Requirements (J Pages) for additional construction activity restrictions.

It is not the intent of EFLHD to receive project specific design or engineering recommendations as part of the step one technical proposal. Offerors should limit their technical proposal to the information required by this Notice, and other information that may be relevant to the qualifications and experience of the Offeror. No reimbursement will be made for any expenses associated with the preparation of a step one technical proposal or a step two price proposal.

Obligation to Keep Team Intact: In connection with the services covered by this procurement process, any in-house personnel, subcontractors, and outside associates will be limited to the individuals or firms that are specifically identified during the step one technical proposal. The Contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s written consent before making any substitution for these designated in-house personnel, subcontractors, or outside associates.

Supplemental Work: Offerors are expected to provide qualified and experienced staff to develop appropriate pre-construction or construction protocols as designated by Federal, state, and local regulations/guidelines, including but not limited to the following:

• Work Plan.

• Accident Prevention Plan.

• Health and Safety Plan.

• Environmental Management Plan.

• Waste Management Plan.

• Recycling Plan.

Submittals: Each Offeror must provide the required number of Technical and Price Proposals as described below to EFLHD in separate, sealed envelopes/boxes clearly addressed and identified for “Project No: NP-BLRI 2H16”.

Submit five (5) bound paper copies and one (1) unbound paper copy of the Technical Proposal.

In addition, submit one (1) copy of the Technical Proposal on CD ROM. Submit the Technical Proposal copies separately from the Price Proposal in a sealed envelope or box and clearly labeled as the “Technical Proposal”.

Submit two (2) unbound paper copies of the Price Proposal. Submit the Price Proposal copies separately from the Technical Proposal in a sealed envelope and clearly labeled as the “Price Proposal”.

Submit all proposal documents by the due date specified in Block 13 of the SF-1442 to the following address:

Federal Highway Administration Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division 21400 Ridgetop Circle Sterling, VA 20166 Attn: Shirley Anderson

It is the Offeror’s sole responsibility to see that its proposal documents are received. Proposal documents received after the time due will be rejected and returned without consideration or further evaluation.

Other Information: Questions concerning this solicitation may be directed to Ms. Anderson and e-mailed to: eflhd.contracts@dot.gov, or in her absence, to Mr. C. Shawn Long at the same email address.

EVALUATION OF PROPOSAL DOCUMENTS

STEP 1 - TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY - Experience in Performing Post-Tensioned Precast Box Beam Repair Work and Ability to Complete Work by Deadline

1.A. TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY EVALUATION DESCRIPTION

Competing Technical Proposals will be evaluated against the solicitation requirements; they are not compared with each other. Each of the technical evaluation factors described below will be rated on a pass/fail (acceptable/unacceptable) basis, and must receive a passing score for an Offeror's proposal to receive further consideration. Failure to receive a passing score for any single technical evaluation factor will result in rejection of an Offeror's proposal notwithstanding passing scores for the other technical evaluation factors. Technical acceptability will be determined by evaluating each responsive proposal and comparing the results of that evaluation against the technical requirements specified in the solicitation. Proposals which satisfy the technical requirements of the solicitation, in light of the evaluation criteria, will be determined technically acceptable.

Offerors will be evaluated on past performance and experience in completing post-tensioned precast box beam repair work, specifically the repair of post-tensioning anchorage for precast concrete segmental bridges. Offerors will also be evaluated based on their proposed approach to complete construction activities on time.

The Government will review and evaluate each Offeror's documented past performance and will rate them as acceptable or unacceptable. By acceptable past performance, the Government means that the Offeror has demonstrated experience in the techniques requested and has a good reputation for satisfying its customers and delivering quality work in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. Acceptable past performance also means the Offeror has a reputation of integrity, reasonable and cooperative conduct, and commitment to customer satisfaction. In reviewing and evaluating an Offeror's past performance, the Government will consider information obtained from the Offeror, and may consider information obtained from other sources. This includes past and present customers and their current and former employees, past and present subcontractors and their current and former employees, current and former employees of the Federal, state and local government agencies (including court records), and private consumer protection organizations. The Government will evaluate past performance information and will rate the Offeror as acceptable or unacceptable.

• Project Owner and Contact Information including phone number and email address;

• Year (Award of Contract and Completion Date);

• Name of Contractor Project Manager or Resident Engineer;

• Name of Contractor Superintendent;

• Cost Performance - Initial Bid (Contract Award Amount), Final Construction Cost, Reasons for Change; and

• Discussion of project scope.

1.C. TECHNICAL PROPOSAL SUMMITTAL

Submit five (5) bound paper copies and one (1) unbound paper copy of the Technical Proposal.

In addition, submit one (1) electronic copy of the Technical Proposal on CD ROM. Submit the Technical Proposal copies separately from the Price Proposal in a sealed envelope or box and clearly labeled as the “Technical Proposal”.

STEP 2 - LOWEST PRICE - Cost to Perform the Proposed Work

2.A. LOWEST PRICE EVALUATION DESCRIPTION

Only Cost Proposals from Offerors that passed the technical acceptability phase will be evaluated. Cost Proposals from Offerors that did not pass the technical acceptability phase will be returned unopened. All acceptable Cost Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated for completeness and reasonableness.

2.B. COMPLETING THE BID SCHEDULE

Complete the Bid Schedule(s) by handwriting in ink or typing. Specify a Unit Bid Price, in figures with cents to only two decimal places, for each pay item in the Unit Bid Price column for which a quantity is given. Do not enter or tender a Unit Bid Price for any pay item for which no estimated quantity appears in the Bid Schedule. Determine the products of the respective unit prices and quantities, and show them, in figures, in the Amount Bid column. If a Unit Bid Price and Amount Bid have been inserted by the Government for a pay item, do not change the Unit

Bid Price and Amount Bid for the pay item. Determine the Bid Total for each specific individual Schedule of Work by adding the amounts of the listed items, and show in the block provided for that individual Schedule of Work. In case of multiplication errors, the Amount Bid for the item will be based on the Unit Bid Price.

To be eligible for award, Offerors must submit prices for each pay item.

Review Subsection 109.05 of the FP (standard specifications book) regarding scope of payment for direct and indirect payment work.

Fill in the Bid Total(s) for each individual Schedule of Work as directed on the Price Proposal Summary page (B-3). Fill in the Evaluation Total Price of Project in the space provided on the Price Proposal Summary page (B-3).

The completed Bid Schedule, pages B-1 through B-3, is considered the Offeror's Price Proposal.

2.C. SCHEDULES OF WORK

The Bid Schedule is comprised of the following separate schedules and options of work:

Schedule A (Base Contract) - Page B-1

Schedule B (Government Option 1) - Page B-2

The Government will award the project as a Base Contract (Schedule A) with the option to award Schedule B (Government Option 1); see FAR Clauses 52.217-4 and 52.217-5.

The purpose of the multiple schedules and options is to give the Government maximum flexibility in completing the project in a timely manner and at a cost-effective price, by proper utilization of programmed funds and upon receipt of any additional funds required to award the contract. If complete funding is in place at the time of award of Schedule A (Base Contract), the Government may award Schedule B (Government Option 1) at that time. If additional funding is required for the award of Schedule B (Government Option 1), and is received after the award of Schedule A (Base Contract), the Government has the right to exercise Schedule B (Government Option 1) at the unit prices bid no later than the contract completion date of Schedule A (Base Contract).

2.D. COMPLETION OF WORK

The Government has estimated the number of calendar days necessary to complete all contract work from the effective date of the Notice to Proceed to contract completion. The maximum number of calendar days allowed (i.e., the contact performance period) is shown in Block 11 of the SF-1442 and described below.

If the Government awards the contract as Schedules A + B, the performance period to complete all contract work will be as stated in Subsection 108.01 of the Special Contract Requirements (J Pages), which specifies all work must be completed by no later than October 31, 2019.

If the Government awards the contract as Schedule A only, the performance period to complete Schedule A work will be as stated in Subsection 108.01 of the Special Contract Requirements (J Pages), which specifies all work must be completed by no later than October 31, 2019.

If Schedule B (Government Option 1) is exercised after the award of the original contract, the performance period to complete all Schedule B work will be 55 calendar days and will start on the effective date of Schedule B’s Notice to Proceed.

In developing a construction schedule to determine the number of calendar days, the Government considered and included the work limitations shown in Sections 108 and 156 of the FP and Special Contract Requirements (SCR’s). Specific work limitations may be (but are not limited to): National legal holidays, weekends, rush hours, night work, specified no work periods, work or traffic control phasing, etc. The Government also considered those work items that are weather sensitive and when those work items will be performed. Specific work items are (but not limited to): those that require a minimum ambient air temperature (asphalt paving and surface treatment, pavement striping, stone masonry, etc); those that require maintaining a minimum surface temperature (concrete pavement, structural concrete, painting, etc); and those that have specific planting seasons (turf establishment, sod, trees, plants, etc). The Government also considered time required for preparing material and drawing submittals, and the allowable Government review times for those submittals (Subsection 104.03 of the FP and SCR’s).

Offerors are to assume that the award of the contract and approval of the Contractor’s Performance and Payment Bonds (see Block 12a of the SF-1442 and FAR Clause 52.228-15) may result in the start of construction activities to be no earlier than March 2019. See Subsection 108.01 of the SCR’s for additional details.

2.E. PRICE PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL

Submit two (2) unbound paper copies of the Price Proposal. As stated above, the completed Bid Schedule, pages B-1 through B-3, is considered the Offeror’s Price Proposal. Submit the Price Proposal copies separately from the Technical Proposal in a sealed envelope and clearly labeled as the “Price Proposal”.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government will award the project to the lowest priced/technically acceptable responsible Offeror. The Contracting Officer intends to evaluate all proposals for technical acceptability.

After all of the technical proposals have been evaluated, the Offerors that were found technically acceptable will be ranked according to price and the contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible Offeror with the lowest Evaluation Total Price of Project, which is defined as:

FOR (Construction, Supplies or Services)

OBLIGATION:

We, the Principal and Surety(ies) are firmly bound to the United States of America (hereinafter called the Government) in the above penal sum. For payment of the penal sum, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, and successors, jointly and severally. However, where the Sureties are corporations acting as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sum "jointly and severally" as well as "severally" only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of us. For all other purposes, each Surety binds itself, jointly and severally with the Principal, for the payment of the sum shown opposite the name of the Surety. If no limit of liability is indicated, the limit of liability is the full amount of the penal sum.

CONDITIONS:

The Principal has submitted the bid identified above.

THEREFORE:

The above obligation is void if the Principal - (a) upon acceptance by the Government of the bid identified above, within the period specified therein for acceptance (sixty (60) days if no period is specified), executes the further contractual documents and gives the bond(s) required by the terms of the bid as accepted within the time specified (ten (10) days if no period is specified) after receipt of the forms by the principal; or (b) in the event of failure to execute such further contractual documents and give such bonds, pays the Government for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of the bid.

Each Surety executing this instrument agrees that its obligation is not impaired by any extension(s) of the time for acceptance of the bid that the Principal may grant to the Government.

Notice to the surety(ies) of extension(s) is waived. However, waiver of the notice applies only to extensions aggregating not more than sixty (60) calendar days in addition to the period originally allowed for acceptance of the bid.

WITNESS:

The Principal and Surety(ies) executed this bid bond and affixed their seals on the above date.

DATE BOND EXECUTED (Must not be later than bid opening date)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. This form is authorized for use when a bid guaranty is required. Any deviation from this form will require the written approval of the Administrator of General Services.

2. Insert the full legal name and business address of the Principal in the space designated "Principal" on the face of the form. An authorized person shall sign the bond. Any person signing in a representative capacity (e.g., an attorney-in-fact) must furnish evidence of authority if that representative is not a member of the firm, partnership, or joint venture, or an officer of the corporation involved.

3. The bond may express penal sum as a percentage of the bid price. In these cases, the bond may state a maximum dollar limitation (e.g., 20% of the bid price but the amount not to exceed dollars).

4. (a) Corporations executing the bond as sureties must appear on the Department of the Treasury's list of approved sureties and must act within the limitations listed therein. The value put into the LIABILITY LIMIT block is the penal sum (i.e., the face value) of the bond, unless a co-surety arrangement is proposed.

In the space designated "SURETY(IES)" on the face of the form, insert only the letter identifier corresponding to each of the sureties. Moreover, when co-surety arrangements exist, the parties may allocate their respective limitations of liability under the bond, provided that the sum total of their liability equals 100% of the bond penal sum.

(c) When individual sureties are involved, a completed Affidavit of Individual Surety (Standard Form 28) for each individual surety, shall accompany the bond.

The Government may require the surety to furnish additional substantiating information concerning its financial capability.
