The following have been modified:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A.1. OBJECTIVE: In support of the Access Control Point (ACP) Design Build program, the objective of this acquisition is to provide design build services for the provision of repair and renewal services. The term “Access Control Points” encompasses the overall layout, organization, infrastructure, and facilities at entrance locations onto U.S. military installations (See Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 4-022-01)). The ACP Design Build program provides security improvements through installation of new ACP equipment, infrastructure upgrades, equipment installation, and construction. ACP Design Build II Contractors must have experience with design and construction of ACPs in accordance with all applicable Department of Defense requirements and the individual task order requirements.

A.2. CONTRACT TYPE: The MATOC will consist of Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task orders.

The NAICS code is 237310 - Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction; and the small business size standard is $39.5 Million.

A.3. CONTRACT TERM: The total ordering period will be twenty-four (24) months for the base ordering period, and three (3), twelve (12) month optional ordering periods, for a total duration of 60 months. The period of performance shall be set at the time of award. FAR 52.217-9, "Option to Extend the Term of the Contract" will be evaluated and included in the contract to enable option ordering periods. FAR 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services" will be evaluated and included in the base contract so it may be used at the task order level if needed.

A.4 CONTRACT ORDERING: Task orders will be awarded against the base MATOC using the fair opportunity procedures pursuant to FAR PART 16.5 and DFARS 216.505-70. The Government is under no obligation to issue any orders against this contract in excess of the minimum contract obligation of $2,000.00. The only authorized ordering office is the U.S.

Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, Alabama. Other agencies may be delegated this authority, in which case, an advance written notice will be given to the contractor. In addition to, or in lieu of mailing an order, the Contracting Officer may issue an order orally, by facsimile or by electronic commerce methods, at his /her discretion.

A.5 CONTRACT CAPACITY: The estimated maximum contract shared capacity is $95 Million over a period of five years (if all options are exercised) for this acquisition. The Contracting Officer will ensure price is evaluated at the task order level. Values provided under the Contract Line Item Numbers represent the estimated capacity only and the Government reserves the right to move capacity between CLINs and performance periods as necessary. Section B within this solicitation will remain blank and will be completed in its entirety at time of contract award by the Contracting Officer.

A.6. SELECTION OF BASE MATOC SUITE: The Government is seeking to award a MATOC for Design Build projects. This acquisition is a total 100% small business 8(a) competitive set-aside in accordance with FAR 19.5 and FAR 19.8. The Government will evaluate the offerors’ performance capability through an evaluation of proposals in accordance with the criteria described in the solicitation. The Government will select those proposals determined to meet the requirements of the RFP and represent the overall best value to the government, as defined in the solicitation.

The Government intends to award contracts resulting from the solicitation to all qualifying offerors as stated in FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii). IAW ECB 2019-14 – Limitations on the Use of One- Step Selection Procedures for Design Build will be used for this acquisition. Therefore, this acquisition will be solicited under a one-phase design build competition, interested contractors or joint ventures entities (referred to as “Offeror”) may submit specific performance capability proposals, demonstrating its capability to successfully execute the ACP Design Build II MATOC resulting from this solicitation. Small Business 8(a) contractors must have the ability to bond the construction efforts at a minimum of $3 Million per task order and $25 Million aggregate. The date on which performance will start for each Task Order will be determined with each Task Order. Contractors will be required to obtain performance and payment bonds in accordance with FAR 28.102 on a Task Order basis.

A.7. SELECTION OF TASK ORDER COMPETITION: The Government will issue one solicitation for an ACP Design Build II task order requirement. The MATOC awardees will compete against each other for individual task order awards. The one-phase selection process will be used in the award of task orders, to include price as one of the factors IAW FAR 16.505(b)(1)(ii)(E).

Task orders will be awarded against the MATOC using the fair opportunity procedures IAW in FAR 16.5 and DFARS 216.505-70. If an exception applies, the rationale for the decision will be documented IAW FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i).

A.8. WAGE DETERMINATIONS (Formerly Wage Determinations Online): The geographic area where the awarded work is to be performed will be incorporated in individual task orders. A copy of the determination is available at www.beta.SAM.gov. The labor rates in effect at the time a task order is awarded will remain in effect through completion of the project, unless modified due to an increase in the Department of Labor wage rates.

A.9. MINIMUM GUARANTEE: The Government’s minimum guarantee of $2000.00 extends throughout the period of performance of the MATOC. Funding for this minimum guarantee will be obligated on the first task order, issued at the time of base contract awards.

This is the minimum ordering amount, not a minimum payment. Payment under the subsequent task order award(s) in an amount meeting/exceeding the minimum guarantee satisfies the minimum guarantee. The initial task order may then be deobligated and closed.

A.10. STAGGERED AWARDS: This allows the Government to award multiple award indefinite delivery vehicle contracts to all qualified and responsible Offerors initially, and then to establish a competitive range of those remaining Offerors with a reasonable chance of receiving an award following a round of discussions. Staggered awards will only be issued when at least two awards can be made in the initial round.

The Government reserves the right to make staggered awards. Later awarded contracts will have a base period of performance that will be less than the full two (2) years in duration and will end on the same date as all other contractors, which receive an award. Option periods will be the same for all awardees. If determined to be in the Government’s interest to hold discussions, discussions may be held with offerors remaining in the competitive range after initial awards have been made to some offerors.

A.11. CONTRACT ON-RAMPS/OFF-RAMPS: In an effort to increase competition, the CEHNC Contracting Officer may evaluate the market every 12 - 18 months throughout the life of the MATOC to determine if it is in the Government’s best interest to open a contract “On- Ramp” or “Off-Ramp”. During a contract “On-Ramp” the Government will accept and evaluate new proposals with the intention of adding additional contractors to the MATOC suite, to refresh the MATOC competition. These proposals shall be subject to the same proposal instructions and evaluation procedures as contained in the original solicitation. During a contract “Off-Ramp”, the Contracting Officer may not exercise an option. The file should be documented to show the Contracting Officer decision not to exercise an option. Alternatively, Contractors can request to be placed in a dormant status if they are knowingly unable to propose for a period of time. A contractor who is in dormant status cannot be “Off-Ramped”.

Dormant Status. Due to extenuating circumstances (not related to performance), contractors that do not propose can request to be placed in a dormant status. Contractors in dormant status cannot compete in new task order solicitations; however, they may continue to work on awarded task orders. Dormant status is granted for a defined finite time period, after which it will lift, and the contractor will be expected to compete.

A.12. SYSTEM OF AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM): Competition for inclusion in the MATOC pool will be sought, promoted, and sustained by querying the SAM, synopsizing proposed actions, and posting the solicitation in the Government-wide point of entry website (https://beta.sam.gov/). Offerors must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award. See FAR 52.204-7.

The Government will retrieve Representations and Certifications from SAM once proposals are received.

A.13. CONTRACTING OFFICERS: Only a warranted Contracting Officer acting within their delegated limits, has the authority to issue modifications or otherwise change the terms and conditions of this contract. If an individual other than the Contracting Officer attempts to make changes to the terms and conditions of this contract you shall not proceed with the change and shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

4 VOLUME III INSTRUCTIONS

4.1. FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE:

4.1.1. General Instructions. The prime offeror shall provide past performance references and customer-completed performance evaluations for each of the projects submitted for evaluation in Technical Experience under Factor 1, ACP Technical Experience. Offerors should provide reference information in narrative form and address each of the bullets below in paragraph 4.1.3. All points of contact, addresses, telephone numbers, data, fax numbers, etc. should be verified correct by the offeror prior to submission to the Government as part of the offeror’s proposal. Points of contact must be knowledgeable of past performance from a contractual, managerial, and technical perspective. The Offeror shall use the format at Attachment 02 and 03.

For each project submitted for evaluation under Technical Experience (Factor 1), the offeror shall provide a past performance evaluation completed by its customer. If the past performance for the project is recorded in any of the following Government systems, provide a print out of the report to satisfy this requirement: Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS);

Architect-Engineer Contract Administration Support System (ACASS);

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS); or the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). If the project is not in one of these systems, or is a non- federal project, the offeror shall provide the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ-0), entitled NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire dated 30 September 2011 (Attachment 04).

The Past Performance Questionnaire at Attachment 04 is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, ACP TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE only for projects that don’t have a performance record in the Government systems listed above..

Ensure correct phone numbers and e-mail addresses are provided for the client point of contact. It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure the Government receives verifiable information to evaluate the quality of the past performance submitted in each Past Performance Narrative. Offerors shall either submit a report recorded in the Government systems above or ensure a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is provided. If the offeror submits a report recorded in the Government systems above with their proposal, a PPQ is not required for the same contract reference.

Contractor’s Performance Assessment Report (CPAR). If the contract references (CPARs) submitted are not those of the approved JV, then references (CPARs) submitted shall represent work performed by each individual member comprising the JV. For JV, the CPARs must match the name(s) of those members in the JVA.

Additionally, the CPAR shall also be inclusive of the same period of performance stated in the Past Performance Narrative (PPN). All CPARs shall be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF).

Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). If a CPAR cannot be provided, the offeror may use the PPQ to verify the quality of the past performance submitted.

The offeror shall request its customer, the Assessor, return the completed Questionnaire to the Points of Contact (POCs) listed in Questionnaire Section III by the date of proposal submission. The PPQ shall be completed and signed by a person with cognizance over the project for the period of performance (i.e., Program Manager, Contract Representative). PPQs shall be sent directly to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Specialist by the Assessor. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other Solicitations. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror."

If the Government has assessed liquidated damages against an offeror within the last six years on any contract under 52.219-16, the offeror shall provide the contract number and contact information for the contracting officer administering the liquidated damages.

1.1. DESIGN-BUILD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

(a) Design-Build Contract Order of Precedence. The contract includes the standard contract clauses and schedules current at the time of contract award. It entails (1) the Solicitation in its entirety, including all drawings, cuts, and illustrations, and any amendments, and (2) the successful offeror’s accepted proposal. The contract constitutes and defines the entire agreement between the Contractor and the Government. No documentation shall be omitted which in any way bears upon the terms of that agreement.

(1) In the event of conflict or inconsistency between any portion of this contract, precedence shall be given in the following order:

i. Betterments: Any portions of the accepted proposal which both conform to and exceed the requirements of the Solicitation.

ii. The requirements of the Solicitation. (See also FAR 52.236-21, Specifications and Drawings for Construction)

iii. All other elements of the accepted proposal.

iv. Any design products including, but not limited to, plans, specifications, engineering studies and analyses, shop drawings, equipment installation drawings, etc. These are "deliverables" under the contract. Design products must conform to all provisions of the contract, in the order of precedence herein.

(b) Personnel, subcontractors, and outside associates or consultants. In connection with this contract, any in-house personnel, subcontractors, and outside associates or consultants will be limited to individuals or firms that were specifically identified in the Contractor's accepted proposal. The Contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer's written consent before making any substitution for these designated in-house personnel, subcontractors, associates, or consultants. If the Contractor proposes a substitution, it shall submit the same type of information that was submitted in the accepted proposal to the Contracting Officer for evaluation and approval. The level of qualifications and experience submitted in the accepted proposal or that required by the Solicitation, whichever is greater, is the minimum standard for any substitution.

(c) Responsibility of the Contractor for Design. The Contractor shall be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and the coordination of all designs, drawings, specifications, and other non-construction services furnished by the Contractor under this contract. The Contractor shall, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors or deficiency in its designs, drawings, specifications, and other non-construction services and perform any necessary rework or modifications, including any damage to real or personal property, resulting from the design error or omission.

(1) The standard of care for all design services performed under this agreement shall be the care and skill ordinarily used by members of the architectural or engineering professions practicing under similar conditions at the same time and locality.

Notwithstanding the above, if the contract specifies that portions of the Work be performed in accordance with a performance standard, the design services shall be performed to achieve such standards.

(2) Neither the Government's review, approval or acceptance of, nor payment for, the services required under this contract, shall be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights under this contract or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of this contract. The Contractor shall be and remain liable to the Government in accordance with applicable law for all damages to the Government caused by the Contractor's negligent performance of any of these services furnished under this contract.

(3) The rights and remedies of the Government provided for under this contract are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.

(4) If the Contractor is comprised of more than one legal entity, each entity shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

(d) Contractor's Role during the Design Process. The Contractor's construction management key personnel shall 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 Contractor's involvement includes, but is not limited to actions such as: integrating the design schedule into the Master Schedule to maximize the effectiveness of fast-tracking design and construction (within the limits allowed in the contract), ensuring constructability and economy of the design, integrating the shop drawing and installation drawing process into the design, executing the material and equipment acquisition programs to meet critical schedules, effectively interfacing the design and construction quality control (QC) management programs with the design QC program, and maintaining and providing the design team with accurate, up-to-date redline and as-built documentation for eventual submission as Record Drawings.. The Contractor shall require and manage the active involvement of key trade subcontractors in the above activities.

(e) Deviating from the Accepted Design. The Contractor must obtain the approval of the Designer of Record and the Government's concurrence, in the form of supplemental agreement to the contract, for any Contractor-proposed revision to the professionally stamped-and-sealed and Government-reviewed final design that has been released for Construction before proceeding with the revision. The Government reserves the right to disapprove such a revision.

(1) The Government reserves the right to non-concur with any revision to the final design that has been released for construction, including those which may impact furniture, furnishings, equipment selections or operations decisions that were made, based on the reviewed design.

(2) Any Contractor-proposed revision to the design which deviates from the task order requirements (i.e., the Request for Proposal (RFP) and the accepted proposal), will require a bilateral modification (e.g. supplemental agreement) to the task order before any work commences.

(3) Unless the Government initiates a change to the contract requirements, or the Government determines that the Government furnished design criteria are incorrect and must be revised, any Contractor initiated proposed change to the contract requirements, which results in additional cost, shall strictly be at the Contractor's expense.

(4) The Contractor shall track all approved revisions to the reviewed and accepted design and shall incorporate them into the as-built design documentation, in accordance with agreed procedures. The Designer of Record shall document its professional concurrence on the as-builts for any revisions in the stamped and sealed drawings and specifications.

(f) Value Engineering after Award. In reference to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.248-3, Value Engineering - Construction, the Government may refuse to entertain a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) for those performance oriented aspects of the Solicitation documents which were addressed in the Contractor's accepted contract proposal and which were evaluated in competition with other offerors for award of this contract.

(1) The Government may consider a VECP for those prescriptive aspects of the Solicitation documents, not addressed in the Contractor's accepted contract proposal or addressed but evaluated only for minimum conformance with the Solicitation requirements.

(2) For purposes of this clause, the term "performance oriented" refers to those aspects of the design criteria or other contract requirements, which allow the offeror or Contractor certain latitude, choice of and flexibility to propose in its accepted proposal a choice of design, technical approach, design solution, construction approach or other approach to fulfill the contract requirements. Such requirements generally tend to be expressed in terms of functions to be performed, performance required or essential physical characteristics, without dictating a specific process or specific design solution for achieving the desired result.

(3) In contrast,…
