(c) Sequence of design-construction.

(1) After receipt of the Contract Award, the Contractor must initiate design, comply with all design submission requirements, and obtain Government review of each submission. No construction may be started until the Government reviews the Final Design submission and determines it satisfactory for purposes of beginning construction. The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor when the design is cleared for construction. The Government will not grant any time extension for any design resubmittal required when, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the initial submission failed to meet the minimum quality requirements as set forth in the contract.

(2) If the Government allows the Contractor to proceed with limited construction based on pending minor revisions to the reviewed Final Design submission, no payment will be made for any completed or in-progress construction related to the pending revisions until they are completed, resubmitted, and are satisfactory to the Government.

(3) No payment will be made for any completed or in-progress construction until all required submittals have been made, reviewed, and are satisfactory to the Government.

(d) Constructor's role during design. The Contractor's construction management key personnel must be actively involved during the design process to effectively integrate the design and construction requirements of this contract.

In addition to the typical required construction activities, the constructor's involvement includes, but is not limited to, integrating the design schedule into the master schedule, ensuring constructability and economy of the design, integrating the shop drawing and installation drawing process into the design, executing material and equipment acquisition programs to meet critical schedules, effectively interfacing the construction quality control program with the design quality control program, and maintaining and providing the design team with accurate, up-to-date redline and as-built documentation. The Contractor must require and manage the active involvement of key trade subcontractors in these activities.

(e) Payment for design under fixed-price design-build contracts.

(1) The Contracting Officer may approve progress payments for work performed during the project design phase up to the maximum amount of 4 percent of the contract price.

(2) Contractor invoices for payment must be accompanied by satisfactory documentation supporting the amounts for which payments are requested. Progress payments approved by the Contracting Officer during the project design phase in no way constitute an acceptance of functional and aesthetic design elements, an acceptance of a final settlement amount in the event of a buy-out, or a waiver of any contractual requirements.

(f) Unscheduled jobsite shutdowns. Due to security reasons during the life of this contract the Government may on an unscheduled basis require the contractor to shut down its jobsite for 2 days per year at no additional cost. This does not constitute a suspension of work under FAR 52.242-14, Suspension of Work.

Section M - Evaluation Factors For Award

M.1 Basis for award Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government using a tradeoff process. The Government may award without discussions.

M.2 Evaluation factors

Factor Description Relative importance

Factor 1 Past Performance Most important non-price factor

Factor 2 Technical Approach Less important than Factor 1; more important than Factors 3 and 4

Factor 3 Organization of Proposed Team and Team Members' Professional Qualifications

Equal in importance to Factor 4; less important than Factors 1 and 2

Factor 4 Project Schedule Equal in importance to Factor 3; less important than Factors 1 and 2

Price Price / cost to the Government Not scored adjectivally; evaluated for completeness, reasonableness, and balance

When combined, the non-price factors are significantly more important than price. As proposals become more equal under the non-price factors, price becomes more important in the tradeoff decision.

M.3 Evaluation criteria The Government will evaluate proposals against the following criteria:

M.3.1 Past Performance

a. Relevance and quality of prior performance on comparable design-build, central plant, occupied-facility modernization, or similarly complex projects.

b. Record of cost control, schedule performance, quality of work, management of phased execution, and customer satisfaction.

c. Experience of the proposed team members on the submitted reference projects.

M.3.2 Technical Approach

a. Understanding of the scope and technical challenges of the B10 modernization requirement.

b. Soundness of the proposed phasing, outage, procurement, startup, and commissioning approach.

c. Demonstrated ability to maintain continuity of operations and execute the work safely in an active Federal campus environment.

M.3.3 Organization and Professional Qualifications

a. Qualifications and relevant experience of the proposed design-build team, including management, design, field leadership, controls, commissioning, quality control, and safety personnel.

b. Clarity of team structure, lines of authority, and integration between design and construction functions.

c. Demonstrated experience of key personnel in central plant renovation or equivalent infrastructure projects.

M.3.4 Project Schedule

a. Completeness, logic, and credibility of the proposed schedule and sequencing of activities.

b. Adequacy of milestones for design, procurement, mobilization, outages, phased installation, commissioning, training, and closeout.

c. Ability of the schedule to meet the required contract completion period while preserving required campus cooling capacity.

M.3.5 Price

a. Reasonableness of the proposed total price in relation to the technical approach and the Government's estimate.

b. Completeness of price support, subcontractor and supplier backing, internal consistency, and balance among cost elements.

c. The Government may consider price risk arising from assumptions, omissions, unclear exclusions, or insufficient support.

M.4 Adjectival ratings for non-price factors

Rating General meaning

Outstanding Proposal indicates significant strengths and very low performance risk; the Government has high confidence in successful performance.

Good Proposal indicates strengths that outweigh weaknesses and low to moderate performance risk; the Government has confidence in successful performance.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and presents no material deficiencies, but contains limited strengths or some moderate performance risk.

Unacceptable Proposal contains material omissions, deficiencies, or unacceptable risk and is not eligible for award without major revision.
