NOTE: When the word “Offeror” is encountered in the RFP, it is intended to mean a company seeking to do business with the Government that submits a proposal in response to this Solicitation. When the word “Government” is encountered, it is intended to mean USACE NAU. “Request for Proposal,” “RFP” and “Solicitation” are used synonymously throughout.

2. All task orders under this MATOC shall not exceed the total shared capacity of

$250,000,000.00. Each awardee will be given fair opportunity for each order in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(1). The Government may exceed the stated minimum/maximum task order limitation upon mutual agreement of all parties (see FAR 52.216-19 in the RFP).

3. For the purposes of this Solicitation, the Government will utilize the Best Value

Tradeoff Process for Source Selection in accordance with FAR 15.101-1 to determine best value. The Government will evaluate both technical capability and price. The Government intends to award a target of five firm-fixed price IDIQ contracts. See Section 00 22 10 for further details on the Government’s evaluation approach.

B. PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE

The Government will hold a Virtual Pre-proposal conference on 29 October 2020 to accommodate continuing travel and meeting restrictions related to COVID-19. A site visit for the SEED project, the Aircraft Parking Apron, will be held in-person at Campia Turzii, Romania on 30 October 2020, time TBD.

C. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

1. Introduction. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, Offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all Solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. The Offeror shall submit in the proposal all requested information specified in this section of the Request for Proposal (RFP) at or before the exact time specified.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in an Offeror being ineligible for award.

Copies of the RFP are available by INTERNET ACCESS ONLY. All RFP documents will be made available for viewing at the Beta SAM website (http://www.beta.sam.gov). All amendments will be made available for viewing in Beta SAM. It shall be the Offeror’s responsibility to check the website for any amendments.

2. Inquiries. Offerors with technical inquiries and any other questions shall submit their inquiries via Bidder Inquiry in ProjNet at http://www.projnet.org/projnet. The bidder inquiry key is: Q5E9BN-BDHW3G and for Aircraft Parking Apron Seed Project questions please title your question in ProjNet: (DC-21-0004).

Offerors are requested to review the specification in its entirety and review the Bidder Inquiry System for answers to questions prior to submission of a new inquiry. The Government reserves the right to decline addressing certain questions. Further, no questions, unless in the Government’s interest, will be answered any later than 10 business days prior to the stated deadline for offers. All Offerors are encouraged to register on ProjNet for alerts to stay abreast of Q&A’s that are posted in reference to this Solicitation. Only self-registered users on ProjNet can submit and review inquiries.

After initial login, enter all the required information to create your user ID. Verify the information on the next screen and from there you may submit and view inquiries.

Those submitting inquiries will receive a system generated email notification when their inquiry has been processed and answered. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to monitor for inquiries and responses.

3. General Proposal Submission Requirements.

a. Electronic Proposals. In an effort to reduce paperwork and costs, ALL

RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHALL BE SUBMITTED

ELECTRONICALLY. Hand carried delivery or USPS/UPS/Fedex delivery of hard copies and/or CD-ROMs are not authorized. Facsimile submission is not authorized. Electronic submissions shall be via DoD SAFE Drop-Off at https://safe.apps.mil/. Offerors will need to “Request a Drop-off” and obtain a “Request Code” from the Contract Specialist in order to submit proposals.

A drop-off request is valid for 14 days. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure receipt. In the event of technical difficulties, submission of proposals may be via email to both the Contract Specialist, Lequita Byrd-Craig, at Lequita.Y.Byrd-Craig@usace.army.mil and the Contracting Officer, Robin Prince, at Robin.G.Prince@usace.army.mil. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure receipt.

b. File Size Limitations. Offerors are advised that the file size limitation is

10MB due to email server restrictions. If needed, Offerors are advised to break the files down into smaller sections and deliver in separate emails. In such cases, please divide the sections as logically as possible and be sure to clearly name the files as specified below.

c. File Names. To ensure your submission is received and processed appropriately, it is important that interested parties CAREFULLY ensure their electronic files adhere to the following naming convention: Each filename shall begin with the Solicitation number, followed by the word “RESPONSE,” followed by your firm’s name, and finally a brief file description. EXAMPLES:

(1) “Firmname W912GB21R0002 RESPONSE Volume I.pdf”

(2) “Firmname W912GB21R0002 RESPONSE Volume I Part 1.pdf”

(3) “Firmname W912GB21R0002 RESPONSE Volume I Part 2.pdf”

(4) “Firmname W912GB21R0002 RESPONSE Volume I diagrams, figures.pdf”

(5) “Firmname W912GB21R0002 RESPONSE Volume TWO.pdf”

d. File Organization, Formatting, and other instructions. Although hard copies are not accepted, each file shall be clearly indexed, and logically assembled. Font size shall be 10 or larger. Pages shall be letter sized--larger page sizes (such as 11x17 foldouts, etc.) will be counted as two pages. Offerors shall prepare proposals in the English language. Proposals shall be in a narrative format, organized and titled so that each section of the proposal follows the order and format of the factors. Information presented should be organized so as to pertain to only the evaluation factor in the section that the information is presented. Proposals shall completely and adequately address the requirements of this Solicitation. Offerors are reminded that elaborate corporate marketing information, formatting, special reproduction techniques, etc., are not necessary. Failing to submit attachments or failing to complete the proposal properly may result in rejection of the offer without further evaluation. Information pertaining to more than one evaluation factor should be repeated in the each section for each factor. Electronic files shall be Microsoft Windows compatible. Files shall be submitted in their native format (i.e., doc, xls, ppt, etc.), or if in pdf format, shall be in searchable text. If the electronic files are of a size at which they must be compressed (zipped), they shall be compressed into one zipped folder.

e. Submission & Deadline. Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on the solicitation document. The time & date of proposal receipt will be the delivery time & date recorded of email receipt on the Government’s server. Do not assume that electronic submission will occur instantaneously. Offerors should time their submission with prudence by not waiting until the last day—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process and troubleshooting. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the delivery and/or read confirmation for their record but shall also request confirmation. Submission of proposals after the deadline shall utilize DoD SAFE Drop-Off via https://safe.apps.mil/. Offerors will need to “Request a Drop-off” and obtain a “Request Code” from the Contract Specialist in order to submit late proposals. A drop-off request is valid for 14 days.

Submissions after the deadline may be emailed to Lequita Byrd-Craig, Contract Specialist at Lequita.Y.Byrd- Craig@usace.army.mil. Be advised they will be considered late and as such will be processed in accordance with FAR 15.208. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure receipt.

f. Any information, presented in a proposal that the Offeror wants safeguarded from disclosure to other parties must be identified and labeled in accordance with the requirements of Provision “FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to OfferorsCompetitive Acquisition (Jan 2004),” subparagraph (e). The Government will endeavor to honor the restrictions against release requested by Offerors, to the extent permitted under United States law and regulations.

SELECTION PROCEDURES

Section 00 22 10 One-Step Design-Bid-Build Selection Procedures

Interested firms or JV entities (collectively referred to in the Solicitation as “Offerors” shall submit proposals demonstrating their capability to successfully execute design-bid-build construction task orders resulting from a contract award under this Solicitation. The Government will evaluate the performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described herein and this Solicitation will result in a target of five (5) awardees.

A. BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government will utilize the Best Value Tradeoff Process for Source Selection in accordance with FAR 15.101-1 to determine best value. This process permits tradeoffs among price and non-price factors. Award will be made to a target of five (5) Offerors proposing the combination most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the proposals received, including the evaluation factors described herein.

Award may be made to fewer than or greater than five (5) Offerors at the Government’s discretion. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Neutral Confidence” and no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for all non-price factors. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated Offeror. The perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal shall merit the additional cost, and the rationale for tradeoffs must be documented in the file in accordance with FAR 15.406.

B. PROPOSAL AND RELATED EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government Source Selection Team (SST) will evaluate proposals according to the factors listed below. Offerors are required to provide data addressing all stated factors in a clear and understandable format. Proposals that do not clearly address all factors may be considered unacceptable and may not receive further consideration.

Factor 1: Past Performance Factor 2: Management Approach Factor 3: Technical Approach Narrative and Schedule (for Seed Project) Factor 4: Price – (Seed Project)

Relative Importance of the Evaluation Factors. In accordance with FAR 15.304(e), non- price factors, Factor 1 – Past Performance, Factor 2- Management Approach and Factor 3 – Technical Approach, are approximately equal in importance; and, all non- price factors (Factors 1-3), when combined, are approximately equal in importance to price (Factor 4).

b. Section B - Factor 1, Past Performance.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

Offerors shall submit a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of five (5) projects. The Government may consider projects more relevant if they consist of all of the following criteria (listed in no particular order); Projects completed more than six (6) years before the proposal due date and/or not meeting all of these criteria may be considered for evaluation purposes but may lessen the Offeror’s overall rating:

i. The project was completed no earlier than six (6) calendar years before the closing date of the RFP or is at least 50% complete at the closing date of this RFP.

ii. The project is for design-bid-build or design-build construction work. At least one design-bid-build project shall be submitted. (Note:

Projects should be submitted from construction contracts or design-build construction contracts, not Architect-Engineer contracts.)

iii. The project had a minimum cost of $5,000,000.00.

iv. The project was performed in the European Union/United Kingdom (with more consideration given for projects in Romania).

If the Offeror wants the Government to consider a Teaming Arrangement for its past performance; it shall identify all such entities in its Factor 1 proposal and provide at least one qualifying project for each such entity. Please note: the preferred projects should reflect the same or significantly similar scope of work that will be performed by that entity under this Contract. Also, reliance on a Teaming Arrangement for past performance does not relieve the Offeror of its obligation to supply at least two qualifying projects to demonstrate its own past performance on the portions of the contract it will perform or manage.

NOTE: Where a project was awarded as a task order or delivery order under an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity type contract, Offerors are cautioned to submit information specific to the task or delivery order rather than the base contract.

Include a completed Experience Overview Sheet and a completed Experience Information Sheet for each project. Sample sheets are provided as RFP attachments. Experience Information sheets shall not exceed four (4) pages per project.

If more than five (5) projects are submitted by an Offeror, the Government will only review the first five (5) projects. The projects will be reviewed in the order in which they are received in Offeror’s submitted proposal.

For each project submitted under Factor 1, Offerors shall include completed Contractor’s Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) record or completed Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire Form. If available, a completed record from the CPARS will be accepted for evaluation under this factor. An interim completed CPARs rating will be considered if a final record is not available. If a completed CPARS record is not available at all, Offerors shall complete and provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) Form, provided as an RFP Attachment.

PPQ Instructions: The Offeror shall complete Blocks 1-4 of the provided Past Performance Questionnaire and have the Contracting Activity and the Technical Representative responsible for the past/current contract complete the remainder of the PPQ. Offeror shall ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with the proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). 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 via email no later than the closing date of this RFP.

Also include copies of performance recognition documents received for the Factor 1 projects such as awards and/or award fee determinations. Offerors shall provide a copy of any Cure Notices or Show Cause Letters received by the Offeror for each submitted project and a description of any corrective action implemented by the Offeror.

EVALUATION CRITERIA:

The Government will evaluate the recent, relevant performance of the prime offeror and team members and assign one confidence rating for this factor.

The Government will evaluate each demonstrated record of performance on recent and relevant projects that involve a similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation. Then, the Government will evaluate the Offeror’s quality of performance to determine a confidence assessment rating.

Projects that are considered to be more relevant will have more influence on the past performance confidence rating.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings:

Rating Definition

Very Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

a. Recency. Projects submitted should be completed within six years of the solicitation issue date or currently being performed (at least 50% complete) that are for similar work as that required in this solicitation. Projects submitted that are beyond six years may be considered, but may be considered less relevant.

b. Relevancy. Firm-fixed-priced contracts that demonstrated the relevant characteristics below will be considered more relevant than cost reimbursement and time and materials type contracts. NOTE: Projects submitted that do not have one or more of the qualities considered most relevant below will be considered, but the offeror may receive a lower relevancy rating, contributing to a lower confidence rating for this factor.

The SST will evaluate Offerors under this factor to determine the Offeror’s experience that demonstrates the ability to accomplish the work specified under this Solicitation.

Offerors are encouraged to submit a combination of projects demonstrating experience with as many relevant criteria as possible. For the purposes of evaluation under this factor, more consideration may be given to an Offeror that demonstrates experience in the following:

i. Projects that demonstrate experience working in Romania will be considered more relevant.

ii. Projects that demonstrate experience working with the United States

Government, projects for the U.S. Department of Defense will be considered most relevant.

iii. Projects demonstrating experience working in both new construction and major renovations.

iv. Projects demonstrating experience working in both horizontal and vertical construction.

v. Projects demonstrating experience working with proposed Key Subcontractors, team members and/or the proposed JV Partners.

vi. Projects demonstrating experience working on military base airfields or commercial airfields, projects on military air bases will be considered more relevant.

NOTE: Offerors are cautioned that the SST may assess weaknesses against experience examples that demonstrate one or more of the criteria listed above, that are not verifiable, and/or where the Offeror or their proposed subcontractor were subcontractors and their role in the project was minor in comparison to the whole project.

PAST PERFORMANCE: The SST will evaluate Offerors under this factor to determine how likely it is that Offerors will be successful when performing task orders under the awarded contract. The Offeror's past performance will be evaluated based on performance on projects submitted under Factor 1. Please note the Government reserves the right to review all recent past performance records available to make a confidence determination to include other projects not submitted by the Offeror. The Government also reserves the right to review past performance of any Team Members, including Subcontractors or JV Partners the Offeror may have submitted. Key focus areas will include the following (see PPQ Form):

Quality Schedule/Timeliness of Performance Customer Satisfaction Management/Personnel/Labor Cost/Financial Management Safety/Security

The Government may verify information provided by the Offeror with any source available and has the right to contact points of contact other than those listed by the Offeror. 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, JV, 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. In rating past performance, the Government may consider available past performance information on predecessor companies, or employment histories of key personnel, or committed subcontractors performing key elements of the project. 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.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). If an Offeror has no relevant past performance history, the Offeror must affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance.

Once evaluation of all of the above past performance information is completed, each Offeror shall be assigned one of the ratings identified below for Factor 1:

Performance Confidence Assessments:

Rating Definition

Substantial Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

During the best value tradeoff process, Offerors whose proposals receive a satisfactory confidence or substantial confidence rating for this factor may be considered more favorably than an Offeror with a neutral confidence rating.
