1.0 OVERVIEW

The most highly qualified offerors selected in Phase 1 are invited to submit a Phase 2 proposal, as indicated below.

The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria described herein, using the evaluation rating systems outlined in the Phase 1 Design-Build selection procedures. Price information will be evaluated for fairness, reasonableness, and for material unbalancing, as described herein. The Phase 2 evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15 and will utilize the Tradeoff Process described in FAR 15.101-1.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed-price contract to the responsible Phase 2 Offeror whose proposal the

Source Selection Authority determines conforms to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the non-price factors described herein, and price. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, are considered significantly more important than the price, however, the Contract award may not be possible if proposed price exceeds the cost limitation described in Section 00 21 00 for this project. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the best proposal within the cost limitation. There is no obligation to approach or match the cost limitation in the offer. After the Government individually evaluates and rates each proposal, the

Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the best value. Proposals will not be ranked. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. If there is a lower priced, conforming offer(s), the Contracting

Officer/Source Selection Official must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal (within the cost limitation) would justify award to that Offeror.

2.1. As part of the evaluation, the Government will evaluate betterments in proposals relative to the minimum standards in the RFP to determine if they offer additional value to the Government. In addition, innovations in proposals will be evaluated to determine if creative ideas of the Offeror are a better value to the Government compared to the minimum criteria.

2.2 Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint.

Do not assume that offerors will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss or revise their proposals.

5.0 VOLUME 1 – FACTOR 1 – DESIGN - TECHNICAL

5.1 GENERAL: The design-technical factor consists of conceptual level presentation drawings, technical approach narratives and information regarding material and system quality. It must clearly define the proposed

Section 00 22 20 Page 4 scope and quality levels that the design-build team is offering to the Government in enough detail for the

Government and the Offeror to mutually understand whether or not the proposal meets or exceeds the minimum

Solicitation requirements. The use of BIM to prepare or submit proposals is NOT required. Fully developed drawings, details or specifications are not required or desired. Unless specifically stated herein, the

Government will not be performing a detailed engineering analysis or design review at the proposal stage.

The intent during the proposal submission and review process is not to require detailed design effort or to perform a detailed design engineering review but to focus on the proposed quality levels of materials and systems. If the

Government evaluators have actual knowledge or strong suspicion that a proposed product or solution is inappropriately sized, being used in the wrong application or otherwise does not meet the contract requirements, the

Government will inform the proposer in the event that discussions are conducted with the firm. But the Government is not asking for design analyses in the proposal and is not obligated to perform an engineering design review at this stage. After award, in the event of conflict between the contractor’s accepted proposal and the requirements in the final amended RFP, the order of precedence is indicated in SCR-DB040, “Design Build Order Of Precedence.”

The Offeror shall identify what it considers to be Betterments in its proposal for Factor 1 (See Section 00 73 00.00

29, SCR “Proposed Betterments”). Betterments included in the technical submission must also be included in the base price under Factor 3. Do not describe in the narratives or show in the drawings any betterments that are not included in the base price. The final design must comply with the RFP requirements except that accepted betterments become the new contract minimum requirements. Note that the Government will not evaluate any material that exceeds the page limits, where indicated below.

5.3.3 Evaluation Criteria:

5.3.3.1 General: It is the Army’s objective that this building will have a 50-year useful life. The design and construction should provide an appropriate level of quality to ensure the continued use of the facility over that time period with the application of reasonable preventative maintenance and repairs that would be industry-acceptable to a major civilian sector project Owner. The Army may repurpose the building or perform a major renovation at some point over that 50-year life; the design of systems should be flexible and adaptable to possible future uses different than the current to the extent practical, while still meeting operational and functional requirements defined within the Scope of Work. It is assumed that mechanical and electrical systems and interior architectural finishes shall perform for an average of 20 to 30 years with minor repairs and without replacement; historically the

Army repurposes a facility once in the first 25 years. The Government will evaluate the Offeror selected systems and components proposed in terms of extended warranties provided, maintenance considerations (frequency, cost, access, equipment locations), operability (ease of use, placement of control features, simplicity), durability

(withstanding warfighter usage, ease of cleaning), sustainability, and energy consumption (particularly HVAC, lighting, and power). Residential or similar grade finishes and materials are not acceptable for inclusion in this proposal. Acceptance of the proposal is not a guaranty that the proposed products meet the contractual requirements or that they are the appropriate size or application for the design which will be developed after award.

The intent during the proposal submission and review process is not to require detailed design effort or to perform a detailed design engineering review but to focus on the proposed quality levels of materials and systems. If the

Government evaluators have actual knowledge or strong suspicion that a proposed product or solution is inappropriately sized, being used in the wrong application or otherwise won’t meet the contract requirements, the

Government will inform the proposer in the event that discussions are conducted with the firm. But the

Government is not asking for design analyses in the proposal and is not obligated to perform an engineering design review at this stage. After award, in the event of conflict between the contractor’s accepted proposal and the requirements in the final, amended RFP, the order of precedence is indicated in SCR-DB040, “Design-Build

Order of Precedence.”

5.3.3.2 The Government encourages the Offeror to place emphasis on those design features which optimize and

Section 00 22 20 Page 10 emphasize functional/operational requirements; interior/exterior finishes and systems; and life cycle/ energy efficiency. The Offeror may choose the most economical Type of Construction allowed by the Building Code for this occupancy/project and put the money into durable finishes and efficient systems. The features that the

Government has identified below as preferred items. The items that the Government has identified in paragraph

5.3.1 as preferable and Offeror-identified betterments may be given additional consideration during the evaluation process provided they are included within contract cost limitation identified in the Solicitation and the offeror’s proposed base contract price. The order of importance for proposed betterments for rating purposes is as follows:

preferred items and other Offeror identified betterments. The Government will identify those offeror-identified betterments that are not desired, or are otherwise objectionable or unacceptable, if discussions are conducted with that Offeror. Unsubstantiated claims or narrative information will not be given evaluation credit during the evaluations. The following elements (not rated separately) will be considered in the evaluation of the building systems and materials of the various facilities:

(a) Architectural Finishes, Components and Systems: Acceptable proposals include finishes, components and systems which provide usable spaces for the intended purposes.

(1) Geotechnical Considerations: Acceptable proposals include sound method of soil compaction and address liquefaction and other geotechnical issues. Proposal will be evaluated on measures planned to protect existing buildings and utilities as well as measures to repair damage caused by compaction.

(2) Grading and Landscaping: Acceptable proposals include reasonable amounts of cut/fill and regrading as necessary to ensure proper drainage and positive drainage away from the facility. Landscaping provided must meet the minimums required by the Statement of Work. Proposals which include innovative solutions to storm water management, landscaping to enhance the surrounding environment, or other similar improvements beyond the basic requirements will receive additional consideration during the proposal evaluation process. The following desirable criteria will also receive additional consideration:

• Preferred Item: Ease of snow removal and storage

(3) Pedestrian Circulation: Acceptable proposals address and include all the specific requirements of the

Statement of Work. The following items will be considered with respect to pedestrian and vehicle circulation. These are not sub-factors. AM#03…

• Desirable: Do shuttle buses and delivery vehicles pulling out disrupt the traffic flow?

• Does the proposed sidewalk system provide direct, convenient access to the facility?

• Desirable: Does the traffic layout minimize disruption to gym traffic? ...AM#03

(4) ATFP Considerations: This element verifies the proposal’s inclusion/compliance with the site related

(setbacks, etc.) ATFP constraints included in the Statement of Work. The proposal must be compliant with the ATFP requirements of the Statement of Work to be considered for award. Acceptable proposals are compliant with all ATFP requirements. Acceptance of the successful proposal does not constitute acceptance of design that does not conform to ATFP requirements. The final design must comply with the

ATFP requirements.

5.5 VOLUME 1 - TAB D – SUBFACTOR 4 – PROPOSED CONTRACT DURATION AND SUMMARY

SCHEDULE

5.5.1 Submission Requirements:

5.5.1.1 Proposed Contract Duration: The offeror shall propose the contract duration where indicated in the

Proposal Schedule and in the narrative provided under this Tab. Proposed contract duration shall not exceed the maximum contract duration specified in FAR 52.211-10.

5.5.1.2 Summary Schedule: Submit a summary level schedule for integrated design and construction. Schedules or diagrams may be provided separately in a size that is easily read, but shall be bound and clearly labeled as Tab D.

This summary schedule will, after contract award, be replaced with a project schedule as required by Section 01 32

01.00 10: Project Schedule. The summary schedule shall be task oriented, indicating the number of calendar days, after notice to proceed, by which milestones are to be achieved. For proposal purposes, utilize a Notice to Proceed date of 31August 2022. This date is solely to assist in evaluation of offeror’s proposals and shall not be construed as a contractual NTP date. Offeror may use a critical path or other method of his choice; however, schedules shall be graphically represented. The proposed project schedule shall reflect the proposed contract duration. Give attention to the following features but limit narrative information to no more than three (3) pages total:

(1) Narrative:

(a) Provide the proposed contract duration.

(b) Provide a narrative, describing the design packaging plan for separate design packages, based on the Offeror’s plan for fast tracking. Describe all design and construction to be “fast-tracked” (See section

01 33 16.00 29: Design After Award). If long lead item equipment must be ordered prior to completion of a design phase, describe the requirement in the narrative and show the required ordering date in the schedule.

(c) Describe how construction phasing will be executed to meet the requirements in the RFP and ensure construction obligations will not outpace the available incremental funding identified in the DFARS Clause 252.232-7007

Section 00 22 20 Page 14

LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION.

(d) Complete the following matrix summarizing the proposed design package review schedule (not included in schedule narrative page limit).

Submittal Package Name

(e.g. Site / Utilities)

Stage (Interim, Final, Design Complete)

Submittal

Date

Review

Start Date

Review

End Date

Review Conference

Date (if applicable)

(2) Summary Schedule:

(a) Show the design phase, including events associated with coordinating the interim and final design submittals for each package and the proper handling of the review comments for each design package (See section 01 33 16.00 29). For each submittal package noted in 5.4.1.2(1)(c) above, show date submitted to

Government, Government review period and Review Conference on summary schedule.

(b) Show the overall construction phase for the facility and for utilities. Show fast track starts for design packages but it isn’t necessary to show the detailed breakdown construction (e.g., by trades) of the facility, site work and utilities.

(c) Show commissioning activities.

(d) Show turnover of the facility. Identify any proposed phased turnovers. The time to complete the facility and turnover to the Government must consider the requirement for the Contractor’s CQC completion inspection and the subsequent joint Contractor-Government turnover inspections.

(e) Constraints: Offeror must demonstrate the capability and flexibility to plan and schedule the complete project to meet the proposed contract completion period. Clearly identify any constraints on the schedules presented (e.g., labor or material availability, permits, weather, etc.). Indicate the anticipated overall critical path on the schedule.

(f) For each work activity, identify under which incremental funding stream, by FY as noted in DFARS

Clause 252.232-7007, it is intended to be funded by.

5.5.2 Evaluation Criteria:

5.5.2.1 Proposed Contract Duration: The offeror’s proposed contract duration will become the contractually binding completion period and will replace the duration stated in FAR 52.211-10 upon contract award. The

Government will evaluate the contract duration, as proposed by the offeror under this Tab and in the Proposal

Schedule, not to exceed the maximum allowed duration stated in FAR 52.211-10. In assessing the reasonableness of the proposed contract duration, the Government may take into account how well the proposed summary schedule supports the proposed duration, as well as use other information, such as but not limited to independent judgment concerning logic, constraints and typical construction durations. A proposed contract duration matching the maximum allowed contract duration is “acceptable.” A proposed contract duration shorter than the maximum

Section 00 22 20 Page 15 allowed duration will receive additional rating consideration, provided it is realistic, a minimum of two weeks shorter in duration and deemed to be achievable. The Government will consider an unreasonably condensed contract duration, which places additional cost or schedule risk on the Government, or which may create a risk of contract or performance failure, as a significant weakness or a deficiency, depending upon the evaluators' judgment.

Include all significant milestones to include design schedule, demolition, long lead items, commissioning and both pre-final and final inspections in the submitted schedule.

5.5.2.2 Summary Schedule: In addition to the proposed contract duration, the Government will evaluate the summary schedule for integrated design and construction. The length of the schedule must match the Offeror’s proposed contract duration. If it is shorter than the proposed contract duration, it offers no advantage to the

Government because it is non-binding, only representing a preliminary planned schedule. A schedule shorter than the proposed contract duration may indicate the Offeror is placing additional risk on the Government for any delays between the scheduled completion date and the required contract completion period. Therefore, the Government believes that there is no valid need to shorten the schedule less than the full proposed contract duration. The

Government will evaluate the schedule to assess the strength of understanding of the project scope, restrictions which must be considered in the schedule e.g., permitting (see section 01 10 00), long lead items, etc. The

Government will evaluate the strength of understanding of events associated with coordinating design submittals, reviews and incorporating review comments, the Offeror's capability to schedule the complete project within the proposed contract duration and the realism of the schedule. The Government will evaluate the design packaging plan for logic, reasonableness, how it facilitates meeting the proposed contract duration and how it facilitates the

Government’s ability to timely perform its design reviews. The packaging plan should minimize risk to the

Contractor and to the Government for tear-out and coordination for reviews. A schedule that offers advantage(s) to the Government over one that merely indicates an adequate understanding of the scope, restrictions, major milestones, and general understanding of the various events that can affect start and completion of construction will receive additional consideration.

5.5.2.3 For each work activity, identify under which incremental funding stream, by FY as noted in DFARS

Clause 252.232-7007, it is intended to be funded by.

6.0 VOLUME 2 – EXTENT OF PARTICIPATION OF SMALL BUSINESSES AND PRICE & PRO

FORMA INFORMATION

6.1 VOLUME 2 – TAB A – FACTOR 2 – EXTENT OF PARTICIPATION OF SMALL BUSINESSES

6.1.1 Submission Requirements:

6.1.1.1 All offerors shall identify the extent to which Small Businesses (SBs), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses

(VOSBs), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), HUBZone Small Businesses, Small

Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs) and Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) would be utilized in the performance of this proposed contract. For small businesses, as defined by the North American Industry

Classification System (NAICS) Code applicable to this solicitation, the offeror shall identify their own participation as a SB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZONE SB, SDB, or WOSB, and it will be considered in evaluating the proposed extent of participation of small businesses (use Attachment 5 – Extent of Participation of Small Businesses Format).

6.1.1.2 Offerors must propose goals for Small Business Participation. Small business participation goals are to be an estimated percentage of total contract dollars (total proposed amount including options). Provide an overall goal

Section 00 22 20 Page 16 to be accomplished through collective small business participation from any type of small business, to include all small business programs, and propose individual goals for each small business program utilizing Attachment 5. The work to be performed directly by a small business prime offeror will be included the offeror’s Small Business

Participation goal.

6.1.1.3 Separate and distinct from the Extent of Participation of Small Businesses, the apparently successful offeror upon request by the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 19.702(a)(1)(i) (if a large business) must submit a Subcontracting Plan, as required by FAR 52.219-9, under Volume 2, Tab D. If the apparently successful offeror fails to negotiate a subcontracting plan acceptable to the Contracting Officer within the time limit prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the offeror will be ineligible for award. The Subcontracting Plan will be based on subcontracted dollars rather than total contract dollars but shall reflect and be consistent with the goals and commitments to small business firms outlined in the Extent of Participation of Small Businesses

(i.e., dollars shown for each type of small business in each of the plans should match)"

6.1.2 Evaluation Criteria:

6.1.2.1 All Offerors (both large and small businesses) will be evaluated on the level of proposed participation of U.S. small businesses in the performance of the acquisition (as small business prime offerors or small business subcontractors) relative to the objectives and goals established herein.

6.1.2.2 A small business offeror receives credit for their small business participation as a Prime Contractor and can apply their dollar value for this prime performance when calculating percentages in all the applicable small business categories.

6.1.2.3 This factor includes a Total Small Business Participation goal (for all types of small business combined) of 20% of total contract dollars including all options for this acquisition. Higher offeror proposed goals which exceed the RFP specified goals will be considered more favorable during evaluation for this factor. Offerors proposed goals which are lower than the RFP specified goals will be considered less favorable during evaluation for this factor

6.1.2.4 The government will evaluate:

(a) The extent to which such firms, as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in proposals;

(b) The extent of commitment to use such firms (enforceable commitments will be considered more favorably than non-enforceable ones);

(c) The identified complexity and variety of the work small business firms are to perform;

(d) The extent of participation of small business prime offerors and small business subcontractors in terms of the percentage of the value of the total acquisition, and including options.

(e) The extent to which the offeror meets or exceeds the goals based on the total contract value. Goals for this procurement are:

Small Business (all types of small business combined) 20%

Small Disadvantaged Business Minimum of 5%

Woman Owned Small Business 3%

HUBZone Small Business 3%

Section 00 22 20 Page 17

Veteran Owned Small Business 2%

Service Disabled Veteran Owned SB 1%

(Note: A proposed Extent of Participation of Small Businesses that reflects a percentage of the contract value for WOSB would also count towards the overall Small Business Goal; and percentages for SDVOSB also count towards VOSB).

6.1.2.5 Adjectival Rating System Specific to this Factor: After listing this Factor’s proposal strengths, weaknesses, and/or deficiencies, the Government will assign an adjectival rating of “Outstanding,” “Good,”

“Acceptable,” “Marginal,” or “Unacceptable” for this Factor, which reflects the Government’s confidence in the

Offeror’s approach and understanding of the small business objectives of this acquisition as demonstrated in its proposal for this Factor. The adjectival ratings criteria for this Factor are defined as follows:

• Outstanding: Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

• Good: Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

• Acceptable: Proposal indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

• Marginal: Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the small business objectives.

• Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet small business objectives.
