- Mechanical scopes of work (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, piping, mechanical systems integration)

- Projects valued below the SAT

- Work performed in similar operational environments (e.g., NASA centers, federal facilities)

Offerors should include sufficient detail to demonstrate the recency, relevancy, and quality of performance on these projects. These examples should be clearly labeled within Volume III - Past Performance Information to facilitate evaluation.

Offerors who do not possess relevant mechanical experience under the SAT are still encouraged to submit proposals, as the remaining awards will be based on overall best value considering the full range of construction capabilities within The Statement of Work.

Past Performance Information: When submitting past performance information, offerors should highlight relevant aspects of their own, their teaming partners', and joint venture participants' contract histories that best demonstrate their ability to successfully perform the current requirement. Past performance should reflect how previous work met or exceeded contract expectations. In evaluating this information, the Government will place greater weight on the experience of the prime offeror, unless the teaming arrangement indicates otherwise, to emphasize the capabilities of the entity with primary responsibility for contract execution (Attachment 10: "Past .

Performance Assessment" is a tool used by NASA to record information regarding the past performance. No action required from offerors for this form.)

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1 GENERAL

Proposals will be evaluated by the evaluation team in accordance with applicable regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the NASA FAR Supplement (NFS). The evaluation team will conduct the evaluation activities and report its findings to the Source Selection Authority (SSA), who is responsible for making the source selection decision. Acceptable proposals will be evaluated against the evaluation factors set forth in paragraph M.4 below. Offerors must meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, as well as the evaluation factors. Incomplete proposals may be deemed unacceptable and removed from further consideration.

M.2 BASIS FOR AWARD

This acquisition will follow a two-phase selection process in accordance with FAR 36.101-2 and the procedures of FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation.

Phase 1 will evaluate non-price factors, specifically technical approach and past performance.

Phase 2 will evaluate price based on offerors' proposals for the design-build 'seed' project, which is a task order included in the phase 2 solicitation. The seed project consists of a statement of objectives and supporting documentation that reflects the type of construction anticipated under the contract and will be awarded as the initial task order.

This is a competitive best value source selection conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15 and NFS

1815.305. Awards will be made to offerors who are determined to be responsible under FAR Part 9, whose proposals conform to the solicitation requirements, and who, based on an integrated assessment of the evaluation criteria, represent the best value to the Government, as described in paragraph M.5.

M.3 AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS

In accordance with FAR 52.215-1, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and make awards without discussions (except for clarifications as described in FAR 15.202(a)(2)). Therefore, offerors are encouraged to submit their best proposal in the initial submission. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer determines them to be necessary. Multiple awards may be made as a result of this solicitation.

M.4 EVALUATION PROCESS

The evaluation process will consist of a two-step process for both the pool of general contractors and the pool of mechanical discipline contractors. Phase 1 will consider the non-price factors of technical approach and past performance. Price will be evaluated during Phase 2 based on the offerors' proposals in response to the design build "seed" project.

Offerors will be checked in the System for Award Management (SAM) for current entity registration, representations and certifications, and the exclusions. Proposals will also be checked for minor informalities or irregularities.

Measure of Merit: The element is satisfied when the offeror's proposal clearly and logically addresses and meets the requirements specified below and within the contract Statement of Work (SOW). The standard is met when the proposal:

Documented Experience: Provides evidence of experience in performing at least three construction projects simultaneously.

Response Plan: Describes a plan for responding to Task Order RFPs issued for each CLIN within the timelines specified in the Master Statement of Work (SOW).

Execution Plan: Outlines a strategy for handling many Task Orders within a highly compressed time frame due to funding surges and emerging requirements.

Support Plan: Describes a strategy for obtaining additional subcontractor support and/or enhancing existing in-house project supervision for Task Orders during peak workload periods in any contract period.

Scheduling Methods: Describes the methods and procedures for scheduling work to ensure that performance periods are met.

Project Tracking and Communication: Identifies the methods and tools used to track project progress and outlines how to interface with the Government Contract Officer and COR/technical personnel regarding project status.

Element 2 Subcontract Management

Description: The Government will assess the adequacy of the offeror's ability to acquire qualified subcontractor support and the policies/procedures for managing subcontractor resources required for all Task Orders issued.

Measure of Merit: The element is satisfied when the offeror's proposal clearly and logically addresses and meets the requirements specified below and within the contract Statement of Work (SOW). The standard is met when the proposal:

Subcontract Management Experience: Provides evidence of experience in managing subcontracts and multiple subcontractors for at least three projects (design and/or construction) simultaneously.

Subcontractor Plan: Clearly and logically describes the methods and criteria for acquiring qualified subcontractors. This includes considering their previous experience, current capabilities, and the quality of their past work.

Subcontractor Management Policies and Procedures: Proposal clearly describes methods of surveillance, quality control, scheduling, performance, and administrative issues such as payroll submission and Davis-Bacon Act Enforcement.

Failure to meet all requirements under the Technical Approach Factor will result in an "UNACCEPTABLE" rating, leading to elimination from further consideration for the contract award.

FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government will evaluate the offeror's demonstrated record of performance in providing construction services that meet customer needs, with a focus on work relevant to the STOCC II requirements. This evaluation will consider how well recent, relevant efforts were performed and will serve as an indicator of the offeror's ability to perform under the prospective contract.

NASA will assess past performance using information submitted in accordance with Section L, Past Performance Information - Volume III, as well as any other information available to the Government from independent sources. The evaluation will focus on how effectively contract objectives--such as technical performance, management, safety/quality control, and cost--were achieved on related projects.

The evaluation team will integrate the recency, relevancy, and quality of performance across all evaluated efforts to develop an overall past performance confidence assessment rating. This rating reflects an integrated assessment of:

The offeror's recent and relevant performance; and

The recent and relevant performance of any joint venture participants whose efforts will significantly influence contract performance.

Past performance of joint venture partners will be included in the aggregate evaluation.

Note: Targeted Selection for Mechanical Requirements

To ensure the award pool includes contractors with demonstrated capability to support anticipated mechanical construction requirements under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), the Government intends to reserve for offerors whose past performance demonstrates:three (3) of the eight (8) total awards

Successful execution of mechanical scopes of work (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, piping)

Experience with projects valued below the SAT

Performance in similar operational environments (e.g., NASA centers, federal facilities)

These three awards will be made to the highest-rated offerors in this category, based on the evaluation criteria outlined in this section. The remaining five awards will be made based on overall best value to the Government, considering the full range of relevant construction experience.

The following areas will be evaluated:

Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must have been completed or performed during the past five years from the date of the issuance of this solicitation. Efforts that have not yet been completed shall have had at least six months of performance prior to the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails these conditions shall not be evaluated. If the removal of one or more projects from the past performance evaluation pool results in the number of evaluated projects to fall below the minimum project requirement of three, the offeror will be removed from further consideration for award.

Relevance Assessment: The Government will conduct an evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the effort relates to the STOCC II. The past performance summary and information that may be obtained from other sources will be used to establish the degree of relevance of the past performance.

The Government will use the following degrees of relevance when assessing recent contracts:

Degree Description

RELEVANT (R) Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

NOT RELEVANT (NR) Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Safety Past Performance: The evaluation of past performance will include assessment of the overall safety record of the offeror during the performance of previous contracts, to include maintaining acceptable TCIR, EMR, and DART rates. A contractor with a lower EMR and DART rates will receive better rating of confidence, while a contractor with a higher EMR and DART rates will receive a lower rating of confidence. A contractor's EMR rating less than 1.0 is needed to be rated a Very High Level of Confidence.

Performance Quality: In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror's Past Performance Proposal and information obtained from other sources, to include but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), commercial sources, and interviews with previous customers.

The review may result in positive or adverse findings. An adverse finding is defined as past performance information that supports an unacceptable rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comment received from sources without a formal rating system. Offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. For adverse information identified, the evaluation will consider the number and severity of the problem(s), mitigating circumstances, and the effectiveness of corrective actions that have resulted in sustained improvements. Process changes will only be considered when objectively measurable improvements in performance have been demonstrated.

Past Performance Ratings: The offeror's relevant experience and past performance will be reviewed, and an assessment made that reflects the Government's judgment of the probability of each offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort based on that offeror's demonstrated performance. Past performance shall be evaluated for each offeror using the following levels of confidence ratings:

Very High Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance is of exceptional merit and is very highly pertinent to this acquisition, indicates exemplary performance in a timely, efficient, and economical manner and very minor (if any) problems with no adverse effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a very high level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. (One or more significant strengths exist. No significant weaknesses exist.)

High Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance is highly pertinent to this acquisition; demonstrating very effective performance that would be fully responsive to contract requirements. Offeror's past performance indicates that contract requirements were accomplished in a timely, efficient, and economical manner for the most part, with only minor problems that had little identifiable effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a high level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. (One or more significant strengths exist. Strengths outbalance any weakness.)

Moderate Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance is pertinent to this acquisition, and it demonstrates effective performance. Performance was fully responsive to contract requirements; there may have been reportable problems, but with little identifiable effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a moderate level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. (There may be strengths or weaknesses, or both.)

Low Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance is at least somewhat pertinent to this acquisition, and it meets or slightly exceeds minimum acceptable standards. Offeror achieved adequate results; there may have been reportable problems with identifiable, but not substantial, effects on overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a low level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Changes to the offeror's existing processes may be necessary in order to achieve contract requirements.

(One or more weaknesses exist. Weaknesses outbalance strengths.

Very Low Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance does not meet minimum acceptable standards in one or more areas;

remedial action was required in one or more areas. Performance problems occurred in one or more areas which, adversely affected overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a very low level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. (One or more deficiencies or significant weaknesses exist.)

Neutral

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance [see FAR 15.202(c)].

Offerors evaluated and assessed at anything less than a "High Confidence" rating for past performance, will not be considered for Phase 2.

PHASE 2

EVALUATION OF PRICE/TASK ORDER PROPOSAL

Only the top-rated offerors in Phase 1 (maximum of five general contractors and three mechanical contractors) will be selected to submit proposals in Phase 2. Offerors selected in Phase 2 will be evaluated on the price and technical factors of the Design/Build Task Orders. Evaluation criteria of each Task Order will be included per the ordering procedures outlined in the Ordering Procedures.

M.5 METHODOLOGY USED FOR PROPOSAL EVALUATION

STEP 1:

Review for Responsiveness: The Government will review all proposals to determine if each offeror has submitted a responsive proposal, and that all required documentation complies with the solicitation instructions. Review of the System for Award Management (SAM) will be conducted to determine if an offeror has an active exclusion, as well as a review of the Offerors Representations and Certifications to determine eligibility for award for both the Small Business (SB) firms (CLINs 0001 - 0003) and 8(a) firms (CLINs 0004 - 0006) assigned the NAICS code 236220. All other participants are deemed ineligible to submit offers. Any non-responsive proposal will be handled in accordance with NFS 1815.305- 70, "Identification of Unacceptable Proposals", Offerors whose proposals are found to be non-responsive in any area or offerors who has an active exclusion listed in SAM will be eliminated from the competition without further consideration, all other offers will be considered responsive and will move forward for further evaluation.

STEP 2:

Evaluate Technical Approach and Past Performance: All responsive proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance.

Technical Approach Evaluation: Failure to meet all of the requirements under the Technical Approach Factor will result in an "UNACCEPTABLE" rating and elimination from further consideration for contract award.

Past Performance Evaluation: Offerors evaluated and assessed at anything less than a "High Confidence" rating for past performance, will not be considered for…
