Section 00 21 00 - Instructions

NOTICE: PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (PLA)

This statement clarifies the applicability of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) to the Crane Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). While the overarching MATOC does not require a PLA, PLAs may be required at the Task Order level, consistent with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) guidance.

Specifically, FAR 22.503(d) outlines agency procedures for utilizing PLAs under an IDIQ. These regulations allow contracting officers to either require or not require a PLA on individual Task Orders based on a project- specific data, considering factors such as project size, potential cost, complexity, and risk for labor disputes.

Therefore, offerors should be aware that individual Task Orders issued under this MATOC may require adherence to a PLA. The Request for Proposal (RFP) for each Task Order will explicitly state whether a PLA is required, and if so, will provide the specific PLA document to be followed. The Contracting Officer anticipates limited use of PLAs under this IDIQ, and their application will be carefully evaluated on each Task Order in accordance with FAR and DFARS regulations.

ATTENTION TO OFFERORS

Offeror(s) may be asked to provide the following information for the Government's use in the determination of offeror(s) responsibility, pursuant to FAR Part 9. Do not include it with your offer.

The Government will initially evaluate offerors' proposals submitted in response to Phase One of this solicitation. After evaluation of Phase One, the Government will select at least five of the most highly qualified firms to submit Phase Two proposals. Upon the conclusion of Phase One, the solicitation will be amended to include the Phase Two evaluation factors including price and the scope of work for the first Task Order 0001 that will be awarded along with the MATOC IDIQ contracts. Phase One submissions and evaluations will not be carried over into Phase Two. All offerors selected to propose for Phase Two will be evaluated only on the Evaluation Factors outlined in the Phase Two RFP. PHASE ONE DOES NOT

INVOLVE ANY SUBMISSION OF PRICING INFORMATION.

Phase One evaluation factors are as follows:

FACTOR 1: QUALIFICATIONS & CERTIFICATIONS

FACTOR 2: TECHNICAL APPROACH

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

Phase Two of the solicitation will include the informational plans (floor plan, cross section, and elevation), Statement of Work, and the specifications for Task Order 0001. The estimated construction magnitude for Task Order 0001 is between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000. A pre-proposal conference/site visit may be conducted during Phase Two. Phase Two offerors will have a minimum of 60 days to submit their proposals.

Phase Two evaluation factors are as follows:

FACTOR 4: WORK PLAN

FACTOR 5: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION

FACTOR 6: PRICE

During Phase Two, the government will provide submission requirements and specific information pertaining to the Phase Two evaluation factors which will be based on the requirements for Task Order 0001. Additionally, the relative importance of the Phase Two factors both to each other and to price will be identified in the Phase Two solicitation. All offerors selected as most highly qualified and invited to Phase Two source selection will be required to submit a proposal for all Phase Two evaluation factors to be considered both for the seed project and to be a MATOC holder. Further, any deficiency in the Phase Two source selection will render the proposal un-awardable both for the seed project and the overall MATOC.

The Government may award the MATOC contracts and Task Order 0001 on the basis of initial offers received in Phase Two, without discussions;

therefore, an offeror's proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical Work Plan, Small Business Participation, and price standpoint.

The price proposal will not be assigned a rating for evaluation. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest prices offered.

Awards will be made based on the proposals found to be the most advantageous to the Government considering Evaluation Factors 4 through 6 (Work Plan, Small Business Participation, and Price).

The Government will evaluate offerors' proposals based on how well the proposals address each of the Evaluation Factors provided below for Phase One and the Evaluation Factors that will be provided in more detail for Phase Two. The evaluation process includes an assessment of the offerors' strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, risks, and uncertainties in addressing the Government's requirements as specified in the Request for Proposal

(RFP).

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: Recency, Relevancy (including context of data) and Quality (including general trends in contractor performance and source of information).

a. The Government will evaluate and assess the extent of an offeror's relevant Construction and D-B past performance and proposed team's past performance (design firm and major subcontractors) on crane and hoist projects completed in the last seven (7) years and at least 50% complete at the time proposals are due. The Government will evaluate the offeror's depth and breadth of relevant crane and hoist design, manufacturing, and installation past performance. The Contractor should ensure that all project submissions presented address the elements within the relevancy definition presented in section e. below as applicable.

The Government will evaluate no more than eight (8) presented projects. The combined past performance demonstrated by the submitted projects must address the following:

Include at least one project that demonstrates Past Performance facilitating design for the end user/customer from initial design concept through 100% design and subsequent construction of that design.

Include at least two crane projects demonstrating performance with large capacity (minimum of 50 tons) custom hoist and crane system not simply packaged components.

Include two examples of crane work to encompass both rehabilitation and new crane work as defined below. A minimum of one (1) example must be new.

Include at least two projects that demonstrate performance on a project for each of the following types of cranes:
