All pages of each part shall be appropriately numbered and identified with the name of the offeror, the date of the offer, and the solicitation number. Each volume shall be clearly marked by volume number and title.

(1) VOLUME I - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

(i) General.

(A) Volume I, Technical Proposal, consists of the offeror's proposal delineating its capabilities and how it intends to perform contract requirements. The Technical proposal will be evaluated in accord with the criteria contained in Section M.

(B) In order that the technical proposal may be evaluated strictly on the merit of the material submitted, no contractual price information is to be included in Volume I.

(C) The technical proposal must be double-spaced, with one-inch margins, using elite font, 12 pitch type (or equivalent) and printed, unreduced in size, not exceeding 10 pages, single-sided, exclusive of related corporate experience documentation. Any pages in excess of 10 will be disregarded, and will not be included in the proposal evaluation. Failure of the offeror to comply with the page limitations, resulting in the excess pages not being evaluated, shall not constitute grounds for a protest.

(ii) Format and Content. Volume I, Technical Proposal, shall include the following contents:

(A) Table of Contents

(B) List of Tables and Figures

(C) Summary of Technical Proposal

(D) Technical Proposal (Evaluation Factors 1 – 2)

(iii) Evaluation Factors to be addressed:

FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE

Specialized Experience Submission Requirements: Offerors are required to submit a comprehensive and complete technical proposal that demonstrates their ability to perform the work described in this solicitation and demonstrate a minimum of 7 years’ experience doing work of similar scope and complexity. All projects submitted for consideration must be at least 75% construction progress complete or completed within 7 years preceding the date proposals are due. Offeror must submit at least three (3) but no more than five (5) relevant projects that are of similar size, scope and complexity of that described in this solicitation to be considered relevant.

1. For the purposes of this solicitation, relevant projects would be construction projects pertaining to horizontal construction and site development, similar in size, scope and complexity to the requirements described in this solicitation.

2. Attachment J06, Company Specialized Experience Construction Form is provided as a reference for information that shall be included with each project. This form is not required, but each project shall include at least all information on this form (e.g., name, project name, location of project, type of project, owner, scope, firm’s role, cost, subcontracts, dates, reference contact information, etc.).

3. If any of the information required is not included in the form then the contractor may be considered non-responsive and evaluated as

“UNACCEPTABLE.”

4. If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant experience should be submitted by that JV entity. If the JV does not have shared experience, projects shall be submitted for each JV partner relevant to their overall JV partnership (reference Cover Letter requirements for JV). Offerors who fail to submit experience for all JV partners may be rated lower.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

Submittal Requirements: In accordance with FAR 42.1503(e), past performance will be evaluated using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) database. If no relevant past performance history is available for your UEI number, you may choose to utilize the attached Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment J05, PPQ) which will be used for evaluation.

Projects submitted under Factor 1 shall also include consideration under this Factor by either a PPQ submission or information obtained in CPARS. The Government will only evaluate up to five (5) Customer Satisfaction Surveys/ Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) combined for the prime contractor and/or JV entity. Government databases will be checked and previous customers and/or evaluators may be contacted as references or verification of performance. All performance ratings shall be considered for contracts ongoing or completed within the past seven (7) years from the date proposals are due. The Government reserves the right to evaluate past performance information on proposals submitted in response to this solicitation from any available source and for any project relevant to the work outlined in this solicitation.

All projects submitted on a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) must be at least 75% construction progress complete or completed within seven (7) years preceding the date proposals are due. The PPQ included in the solicitation is provided for the Offeror to submit to the client for each project the Offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Experience. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) should be submitted with your proposal, but are not required.

Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, taylor.kanthack@ihs.gov, via email prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. This does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. While the Government may elect to consider data from any and all other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information.

The Government’s inability to contact any of the Offeror’s references or the references unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government’s evaluation of this factor.
