SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS.

The Offeror shall demonstrate a record of construction performance and experience on recent and relevant projects. Offerors must submit a completed Past Performance Questionnaire Summary Sheet, Attachment 2. Offerors may use the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment 3 at the end of this section to submit to the client (Point of Contact) for each relevant project submitted. Offeror must ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client. Completed PPQs must be submitted with your proposal by the specified closing date and time. Offerors should follow-up with clients to ensure timely submittal of completed questionnaires. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a point of contact for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete blocks 1 – 5 of the PPQ and submit it with the proposal. Please note that, at a minimum, this first page of the PPQ and an additional page if used, must contain sufficient information for the government to determine the relevancy of the project. Offerors may attach one additional single-sided page (per PPQ) to further describe how the project is similar to the RFP requirements.

Offerors may also submit a CPARS evaluation for each relevant project in lieu of a PPQ. Ensure that the PPQs or CPARS evaluations submitted for this Factor clearly describe the relevant characteristics of the project to include the client’s information (Name(s), Phone Number(s), Email Address), and for the respective project(s). The Government may call and confirm information provided by the Offeror on the PPQs with the points of contact to the extent necessary to verify the information in the PPQ or to obtain additional information. The Government reserves the right to interview other individuals if the point of contact is not available. By exception, the client may request submission of questionnaires directly to the Government’s point of contact (Contract Specialist), Tatjana Fisher. Request may be made via email to Tatjana.m.fisher@usace.army.mil This request must be coordinated by the client in advance no later than five (5) business days before the proposal due date. If the PPQ fails to arrive before the closing date and time, or if the information on the PPQ is insufficient to determine the Offeror’s name and appropriate solicitation number, it will not be considered.

Offerors are cautioned that the information submitted pertaining to a project shall be limited to the PPQ form or CPARS evaluation and an additional page and shall contain enough information to determine the similarity and relevancy of a project. Likewise, Project Information submitted in a format other than or in lieu of the PPQ format or CCASS/CPARS evaluation will not be considered. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other solicitations.

In addition to the PPQ, the Offeror’s proposal shall include the Past Performance Questionnaire Summary Sheet (Attachment 2) to provide a summary of the PPQs included and/or submitted to clients. The summary sheet shall include information for all columns.

Offerors may submit information about state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements.

If the Offeror is a joint venture, the projects do not have to have been performed by the joint venture submitting the offer. The project could have been performed by either company in the joint venture. For purposes of this Request for Proposal, if the Offeror is submitting as a Joint Venture, no more than five (5) total project examples may be submitted for the entire JV.

Offerors are advised to submit projects wherein the Offeror, or proposed joint venture members, played a significant role and to clearly define those roles.

If any Offeror has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer.

Offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) projects, but no more than five (5) total, recent relevant projects that have a minimum value of no less than $500,000 each and no more than $7.5 million. A minimum of three (3) projects shall be design-build, 2 New Construction and 1 Renovation. The Government will not consider multiple projects, such as individual task orders, combined to meet the minimum value. All projects must be successfully completed or fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed within six (6) years preceding the date of this solicitation. Projects that meet these criteria will be evaluated further to determine the level of relevancy. The SSEB may increase an offeror’s confidence rating if it submits more design-build projects that meet the stated criteria than design bid build projects.

Projects of similar magnitude, scope, and complexity of the following may be considered relevant projects:

Design-build or design-bid-build renovation or new construction of facilities. These should include facilities such as: Medical Facilities, Headquarters and Operational Facilities, Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), Administrative & Office Buildings, Educational Facilities, Military Training Facilities, Weapons Training Facilities, Animal Training & Storage Facilities, Religious Facilities, Recreational & Storage Facilities, Dining Facilities, Vehicle Maintenance Facilities, Aircraft Hangars, Air Traffic Control Towers/Facilities, Barracks Buildings, Ranges, and Access Control Points involving architectural exteriors/interiors, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire suppression, communication, renewable energy, roofing, anti-terrorism, and force protection, and/or structural systems, site work, transportation systems (i.e., roads, highways, bridges, and/or parking), and/or storm water management systems.

Offerors shall submit no more than five (5) PPQs (Attachment 3) or CPARS evaluations for past performance projects. Where a project was awarded as a task order or delivery order under an IDIQ type contract, submit information specific to the task or delivery order considered relevant to the requirements of this RFP, rather than the umbrella contract. If an Offeror submits more than five (5) total project examples, only the first five (5) will be evaluated.

Please note that projects submitted by design firms will not be evaluated in this factor.

Design firms shall submit projects in accordance with the requirements in Factor 2.

Other Sources. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources other than those provided by the Offeror for evaluating past performance and experience. These other sources may include but are not limited to, past performance and experience information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/UEI numbers identified in the proposal on the Proposal Data Sheet, 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. If a CPARS evaluation exists for a submitted project, it will be considered.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the offeror must provide detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information for evaluation by the Government.

The experience and/or past performance of individuals will NOT be considered under this factor.

EVALUATION CRITERIA.

Past Performance Evaluation: The past performance and experience evaluation results in an assessment of the Government’s confidence in the ability of the Offeror to meet the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each Offeror’s demonstrated record of performance and experience on recent and relevant projects that involve a similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires. One performance confidence assessment rating is assigned for each Offeror after evaluating the Offeror’s recent past performance and experience, focusing on performance and experience that is relevant to the contract requirements.

Projects must meet the minimum criteria outlined above in order to be considered recent and relevant and will be evaluated against the requirements of the RFP. Projects will be evaluated for relevancy based on the description of the project. Information about projects that are not relevant will not be considered.

Table 4. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Method:

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.

Confidence Assessment:

Offerors may increase the SSEB’s level of confidence if they are able to demonstrate successful performance in a wide variety of work as described in paragraph 4.1.2.

Offerors may increase the SSEB’s level of confidence if they submit more than three Design-Build projects. Offerors may increase the Source Selection Evaluation Board’s (SSEB) level of confidence by demonstrating previous experience where the Offeror and the design firm(s) in Factor 2 worked together.

Conversely, the SSEB may have a decreased level of confidence in Offerors whose experience is limited amongst the project types described in paragraph 4.1.2.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's past performance and experience using the sources available to it including, but not limited to, the example projects identified by the Offeror and submitted on the PPQs, and any additional information received from references and CPARS or other sources. Offerors may be provided an opportunity to address any negative past performance information about which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond if such information is determined to impact the rating to be assessed.

The Government will consider the recency of the performance, the relevancy including the context of the data, and the quality of the performance and general trends in performance and source of the information to reach a confidence assessment rating using Past Performance Confidence Ratings.

If no recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record and experience is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned this factor will be assigned a rating of “Unknown Confidence” (Neutral).

Table 5 Confidence Ratings 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

I. PHASE TWO – PROPOSAL EVALUATION

The SSEB will be established to conduct the evaluation of proposals received in response to this solicitation. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, proposal corrections and any information obtained from other sources, e.g., past performance information. The SSEB will not consider any documents incorporated by reference, except as expressly allowed by this solicitation.

Each member of the SSEB will independently consider all information provided in the proposal. Once these individual analyses are completed, the SSEB will assign a consensus rating for each evaluation factor. It is the responsibility of each member of the SSEB to provide and document sufficient strengths, weaknesses, and/or deficiencies to support the assigned rating for each factor. Comments are required for all ratings.

The final ratings on individual factors, to include all support documentation, will be provided to the Source Selection Authority. The Source Selection Authority, independently exercising prudent business judgment, will determine which Offeror, if any, will receive contract awards.

1. Exceptions: Exceptions to the contractual terms and conditions of the solicitation (e.g., standard company terms and conditions) may result in a determination to reject a proposal.

2. Restrictions: Failure to submit all the data in the format indicated in this section may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and, therefore, not considered for evaluation, and for subsequent award.

PHASE TWO Price – HOOH Binding Rates and PRICE proposal.

Price will not be rated but will be a factor in establishing a competitive range prior to discussions (if held) and in making the best value decision for award of any resultant contract(s). It will be evaluated for reasonableness as well. The pricing proposed for the Home Office Overhead and the Seed Task Order will be evaluated.

Home Office Overhead (HOOH) rate by percentage will be proposed for the each year of the total 5-year ordering period (Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, etc.). These rates will be evaluated for reasonableness and shall be binding throughout the entire period of the MATOC. Offerors shall provide a breakdown of what categorical elements go into their Home Office Overhead, including, but is not limited to office space, personnel salaries, related payroll taxes, benefits, occupancy and maintenance, insurances, proposal costs and supporting services (utilities, equipment, computers, etc.). HOOH should include costs that support all projects and not those which would support a single project or group of projects. Also, personnel that is normally accounted for in HOOH, but they get assigned to a project for a few weeks to resolve/work certain items they should not be charged to the project resulting in over recovery. Supporting documentation should include items such as positions included in HOOH, and audits or cost accounting systems reports is requested as may have been approved by DCAA. Do not include any documentation that have actual numbers, just categorical elements that support the buildup of HOOH.

Pricing for the Seed Task Order shall be completed and submitted on the Seed Task Order Pricing, Schedule B shown at Section 00 10 00 of the solicitation.

The Seed Task Order is representative of the types of work to be completed under the MATOC. The Seed Task Order is intended for price evaluation and is anticipated to be awarded. The Seed Task Order pricing shall be binding for the term of the contract.

The Home Office Overhead of the Seed Task Order shall be binding for the full term of the contract on all future Task Order projects contemplated on this IDIQ. A price realism analysis may be done on the Seed Task Order price to determine whether an offeror’s low price reflects a lack of technical understanding or risk pursuant to FAR§ 15.404- 1(d)(3). The Price Realism analysis, if conducted, will be used to measure an offeror's technical understanding of the Seed Project requirements or to assess price risk in its proposal to determine whether the offeror’s price is so low that it creates a risk that the offeror cannot perform its proposed technical solution at the price offered. This Price Realism analysis may be reflected in the evaluation of Factor 3, Management Approach, if applicable. An offeror’s proposal can be rejected for offering low Seed project prices that reflect a lack of technical understanding of the Seed Project requirements or is so low that it creates risk of nonperformance of the offeror’s proposed solution.

HOOH and Seed Task Order price analysis will be performed in accordance with FAR 15.404-1, to determine…
