MINIMUM TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR EXPERTISE CRITERIA:

The contractor must demonstrate through their SF330 submission references, project lists, or reports, that it possesses experience as it relates to the requirements set forth in the SOW.

The Response shall include the following information:

a. Provide relevant information on the firm's qualifications, Experience, competence, and capabilities as it pertains to the proposed work outlined in the SOW.

b. Provide a maximum of three (3) examples of projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the requirements described in the Solicitation, with a brief description of each project, customer name, timeliness of performance, contract number, customer satisfaction, and dollar value.

c. Projects considered similar in size, scope, and complexity to this project include general construction, renovation, Class A office building tenant fit-out; including, but not limited to, incidental minor construction, excavation, demolition, electrical, structural, plumbing, mechanical, concrete work.

C. Evaluation Factors for Award

The source selection factors for this procurement are listed below in descending order of importance. Factors 1 through 5 are primary. Factor 6 is secondary and will only be used as a tie-breaker among technically equal firms. Primary factors will be assigned a rating from "excellent" to "unacceptable", based on the risk to the Government that the firm will successfully perform that evaluated factor. An overall rating will also be applied to the response using the same rating scale. Responses failing to respond or provide complete information for each factor as required by this solicitation will be determined non-compliant and will be removed from fu1iher consideration. After all ratings have been assigned, firms will be ranked in order of the most highly qualified according to the selection criteria listed below, and interviews will be held with the top five (5) most highly qualified films.

For purposes of this solicitation, a stand-alone contract is considered one project. Separating activities performed under a contract will not be considered multiple projects; conversely, combining activities performed under separate contracts or task orders to produce a single project will not be considered. A single task under an Indefinite Delivery Contract is considered a project, not an Indefinite Delivery Contract itself. Projects in which the AE Service is not 100% complete will not be evaluated.

Firms' responses will be evaluated against the factors listed below. The government will use the information provided in the firm's written response and responses to interview questions, (if applicable, see below), in conducting the evaluation of the following factors, as more completely described in Attachment 4:

Midshipmen Activity Center Architecture and Engineering Design Page 8 of 16

Factor 1: Professional Qualifications -SF330 Part I Sections C, D and E will be used to evaluate this criterion. The government will consider any information which may be pertinent to this criterion, including the following: proposed key personnel, professional registration, competence, related experiences to accomplish this work, education, and years with the company for the primary disciplines below:

a. Project/Program Management

b. Architecture

c. Structural Engineering

d. Mechanical Engineering

e. Electrical Engineering

f. Civil Engineering

g. Landscape Architecture

h. Fire Suppression Engineering

i. Construction Cost Estimating

j. Construction Inspection (Title II Quality Assurance)

k. Surveying

Demonstrate professional qualifications by providing professional license type, license number, state of issue, and expiration date for each professional license to be considered (SF330 Part I, Block 17). If claiming additional professional certifications, provide the certification title, issuing body and expiration date of each certification in the SF330 as well (Block 18).

Factor 2: Specialized Experience and Technical Competence - SF330 Part I Sections F and G will be used to evaluate this criterion. Firms shall list only projects completed by the firm in the past five (5) years from the date of this solicitation.

Evaluation will consider relevancy and location of the identified projects. At least half (rounding up) of the required example projects provided in a firm’s SF330 must have been completed as the prime. Include project scope, size, project cost (not A-E cost, but total construction cost of example project), principal design elements and features, LEED™ analysis and certification, and energy analysis and energy design features, design relevancy of example project to this contract, specific project support expertise, complexity of the job, challenges faced, actions taken, and the resolution and results of any challenges faced.

Do not list an IDIQ contract as an example of a completed “project”. List relevant completed TOs (reference the basic IDIQ number for each TO) or stand-alone contracts. Specialized experience and technical competency will be evaluated for ability to support the broad range of work required for this contract, as demonstrated by a firm’s example projects.

Relevant projects supporting government requirements with historic preservation requirements will be evaluated more favorably than non-government projects of similar complexity. Relevant government projects completed in the last 36 months prior to the date of solicitation will be evaluated more favorably than government projects completed more

Midshipmen Activity Center Architecture and Engineering Design Page 9 of 16 than 36 months prior to the date of solicitation.

Teams with demonstrated experience working together will be evaluated more favorably than teams without demonstrated experience working together.

Factor 3: Work Management (SF330, Part I, Section H)- to include an organizational chart and Quality Control Plan.

Factor 4: Capacity to Accomplish the Work - SF330 Part I Sections C, D, F, G, and Section H, will be used to evaluate this criterion. Demonstrate how the firm will manage, coordinate and administer the work within the prime and/or with their teaming partners.

Factor 5: Past Performance - Firms should submit a maximum of 3 past performances/references (Narratives). Past performance will be evaluated in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedule, as described in FAR section 36.602-1(4). Narratives must be submitted for current work being performed or work that has been done within the past three (3) years.

For the agency to be able to evaluate quality of work and compliance with performance schedule, a corresponding past/present performance questionnaire (see Attachment 3 - Past/Present Performance Questionnaire) (PPQ) must be provided for each project cited in a Narrative, or the Firm may provide a Contractor Performance Assessment Report_(CPAR) for the project. If a PPQ is provided and there is a CPAR provided, the CPAR rating will govern.

Submitted past performance information that does not contain both a Narrative and a corresponding PPQ or CPAR will not be evaluated, and will receive a "Neutral" rating for the particular past performance. A Neutral rating means that it is neither positive nor negative.

Similarly, a firm that has no past performance will receive an overall Neutral past performance rating.

At a minimum, the following shall be provided for past performance narratives:

A. Program office / technical point of contact and key staff B. Telephone number C. Duration of contract D. Contract Dollar Value/Project Cost E. Brief description of project, citing examples of work products (if publicly available, includes urls and/or screen shots).

The firm shall send the PPQ to the CO for the corresponding past performance references.

The Points of Contact must send completed questionnaires directly to the CO before the Solicitation close date. Questionnaires may be sent electronically only to LaChelle.Johnson@dot.gov.

Midshipmen Activity Center Architecture and Engineering Design Page 10 of 16

As noted above, Past Performance Questionnaires that do not correspond to a particular project described in a Narrative will not be considered.

PPQs provided via Attachment 3-Past/Present Performance Questionnaire must be submitted to the CO by the closing date and time of response due date of July 28, 2020, at 10am EST. It is the firm's responsibility to ensure that completed questionnaires are received by the CO on time.

Firms are prohibited from requesting past performance references from any USMMA staff.

Factor 6: Geographic Location - SF330 Part I Section B will be used to evaluate this criterion. Firms, and all teaming partners (if applicable), located within a 75-mile radius of USMMA will be evaluated more favorably than firms outside that distance, or firms with teaming partners outside that distance. Firms located at incrementally farther distances will be evaluated less favorably than firms located within closer ranges.

The government will evaluate each vendor's submission against the evaluation factors listed above using the adjectival rating system of Attachment 4 Evaluation Methodology.

INTERVIEWS:

As required by acquisition regulations, interviews for the purpose of discussing prospective contractor qualifications may be conducted by the AE Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) with the five (5) firms deemed by the Panel to be most highly qualified. Interviews may be conducted by telephone and may occur the same week that the TEP convenes. Phone calls and personal visits for the purpose of discussing this solicitation are not allowed.

The Government reserves the right to make award based on initial offers received, without discussions or negotiations of such offers. Therefore, it is important that each offer fully address the requirements stated in this Solicitation, including any exceptions thereto or deviations therefrom.

To be accepted and eligible for evaluation, responses must be prepared in accordance with, and must comply with, the instructions given in this solicitation document.
