4. TAB H FACTOR 1 Corporate Relevant Specialized Experience

The SSEB will review the two Offerors with the lowest price for technical acceptability (Factors 1 and 2) with the intent to have at least two offerors who are technically acceptable for price reasonableness determination. If the lowest two offerors are not determined technically acceptable, the SSEB will continue to evaluate subsequent lowest priced offerors until at least two are determined technically acceptable. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness based on a minimum of two technically acceptable offerors. If two technically acceptable offerors proposals are not received, the government will utilize other price analysis techniques described in paragraph 7.3.

4.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

4.1.1. Using the Past Performance Questionnaires Summary Sheet (Attachment 2) and the

Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)(CPARS) (Attachment 3), the Offeror shall demonstrate experience in performing projects meeting the requirements described in the paragraphs below. Offerors shall submit projects wherein the Offeror, or proposed joint venture members, were the prime contractor and played a significant role and 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. Ensure that the PPQs/CPARs and continuation sheet, if used, submitted for this Factor clearly describe the relevant characteristics of the project.

4.1.2. If the Offeror is a joint venture, the projects do not have to have been performed by the joint venture submitting the offer. These projects could have been performed by either company in the joint venture.

4.1.3. The Government may contact sources other than those provided by the Offeror for information. These other sources may include, but are not restricted to, CPARS (Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System), and Government personnel with personal knowledge of the personnel will be documented.

4.1.4. The projects submitted for consideration in Factor 1 shall be the same projects submitted for evaluation in Factor 2. The total number of projects submitted must not exceed three (3). If more than three (3) are submitted, only the first three (3) will be reviewed.

4.1.5. Basis for Evaluation. The Offeror is required to demonstrate their experience of recent and relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the RFP.

For the purposes of this evaluation, a recent and relevant project is further defined as follows:

1. Recent projects:

Projects submitted must have been successfully completed, or fully designed and at least 50% construction completed, within the last six

(6) years preceding the date of the solicitation.

2. Relevant experience:

All projects submitted must be new construction and may be either design-build or design-bid-build projects. The Government will not consider multiple projects, such as individual task orders, combined to meet the minimum contract value.

Offerors shall submit three (3) projects which demonstrate experience in construction of vertical facilities, excluding pre-engineered metal buildings, with characteristics described below. Each project submitted must demonstrate experience with the characteristics below:

Construction of Headquarters and Operational Facilities, Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), Medical Facilities, Administrative & Office Buildings, Educational Facilities, Military Educational Facilities, Religious Facilities, Dining Facilities, Recreational Facilities, Vehicle Maintenance Facilities, Aircraft Storage Facilities, Air Traffic Control Towers/Facilities, or Barracks Buildings. For vertical construction (excluding pre-engineered metal buildings);

Have a construction contract value of at least $20,000,000.

4.1.6 The project description shall clearly describe the project. The Government will not assume any project characteristics that are not specifically identified and described. The Offeror may attach a continuation sheet to the PPQ/CPARS if needed consisting of one (1) page to describe how the project contained the elements described above and meets the requirements of this factor. The submission must contain sufficient information for the government to determine whether the project meets the requirements of 4.1.5.

4.1.7 The PPQ must provide a Point of Contact for the Client. If the Government is unable to verify the information provided on the PPQs with the client Point of Contact, or by other sources available (e.g. CPARS), the Government reserves the right to disregard that project when evaluating the experience.

4.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA

4.2.1 Corporate Relevant Specialized Experience. The SSEB will evaluate the experience by looking at the projects provided by the Offeror and determine if the projects meet the minimum criteria required for this solicitation.

4.2.2 Primary Elements for Evaluation. The rating methodology for Factor 1 is Table 4. All projects must meet the requirements outlined in paragraph 4.1.5.

Table 4. Technical Ratings for Technical Approach

RATINGS DEFINITION

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

5. TAB H - FACTOR 2 - Past Performance

The SSEB will review the two Offerors with the lowest price for technical acceptability (Factors 1 and 2) with the intent to have at least two offerors who are technically acceptable for price reasonableness determination. If the lowest two offerors are not determined technically acceptable, the SSEB will continue to evaluate subsequent lowest priced offerors until at least two are determined technically acceptable. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to require evaluation of more than two offerors if there are other unknown situations that arise in order to make a fair and reasonable price determination.

The Government will evaluate price reasonableness based on a minimum of two technically acceptable offerors. If two technically acceptable offerors proposals are not received, the government will utilize other price analysis techniques described in paragraph 7.3.

5.1. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

5.1.1. The Offeror shall demonstrate a record of performance on each project submitted for

Factor 1. The information submitted through the Past Performance Questionnaire Summary Sheet (Attachment 2) and the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)/CPARS) (Attachment 3) for Factor 1 will be evaluated for this factor. The PPQ is provided for the Offeror to submit to the client (Point of Contact) for each project the Offeror includes in its proposal. Offeror must ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client Point of Contact. Completed PPQs must be submitted with your proposal by the specified closing date and time. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

While it is important to submit a PPQ signed by the client 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 which will contain contract and client information and submit it with the proposal.

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. If the Government is unable to verify the information in the PPQ, it may be disregarded.

Offerors are cautioned that the PPQ must contain sufficient information for the government to determine whether the project contains the elements of work similar to this requirement as described in Factor 1. One (1) additional page may be used for each PPQ if needed to include this information as stated in Factor 1.

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 and Factor 1 clearly describe the relevant characteristics of the project to

These other sources may include but are not limited to, past performance and experience information retrieved through Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS 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.

When reviewing

5.1.4. 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.

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA

5.2.1 Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation is the reasonable expectation of the offeror to successfully meet the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. Past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305.

5.2.2 Recency and Relevancy Evaluation. Past performance will initially be evaluated relevant to the effort required in the RFP.

The minimum criteria in paragraph 5.1.2 must be met to be considered recent and relevant. Projects will be evaluated for recency based on when the project was completed, and projects will be evaluated for relevancy based on the description of the project and if it meets the minimum criteria in the solicitation.

Sections in a CPARS evaluation are Quality, Schedule, Cost Control (if applicable), Management, Utilization of Small Business, Regulatory Compliance, and Other Areas such as but not limited to Safety. The elements within each Section are not considered in determining whether an Offeror is Acceptable for this factor. Sections in a PPQ are the individual elements within each Section. For example, Quality Section is not rated however each question/statement such as a) Quality of technical data/report preparation efforts; b) Ability to meet quality standards specified for technical performance;

c) Timeliness/effectiveness of contract problem resolution without extensive customer guidance; d) Adequacy/effectiveness of quality control program and adherence to contract quality assurance requirements (without adverse effect on performance) is rated and will be considered individually in the evaluation of this factor. When the SSEB is reviewing information provided by the Offeror or other

The rating methodology for Factor 2 as defined in Table 6.

5.2.3.4. In 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)). Therefore, the offeror the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the

UNACCEPTABLE

reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

6. PROPOSAL EVALUATION

6.1. The evaluation will be based on the content of the proposal, 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.

6.2. 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 whether the Offeror meets or does not meet the minimum requirements in order to support the assigned rating for each factor. Comments are required for all ratings.

6.3. The SSEB will review the two Offerors with the lowest price for technical acceptability (Factors 1 and 2) with the intent to have at least two offerors who are technically acceptable for price reasonableness determination. If the lowest two offerors are not determined technically acceptable, the SSEB will continue to evaluate subsequent lowest priced offerors until at least two are determined technically acceptable. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness based on a minimum of two technically acceptable offerors. If two technically acceptable offerors proposals are not received, the government will utilize other price analysis techniques described in paragraph 7.3.

6.4. 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.

6.5. 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 considering it for evaluation, and for subsequent award.

7.1. Proposals must meet the criteria stated in the RFP in order to be eligible for award, to include responsiveness, responsibility and technical acceptability. A responsibility determination will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.1.

7.2. In order to determine which proposal(s) represent the lowest price technically acceptable, proposals will be evaluated against all source selection criteria in this RFP.

7.3. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors and receiving an

-price factors. The Government will make award to the lowest priced Offeror who is deemed responsive and responsible and whose price has been determined fair and reasonable. Reasonableness will be established by using price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b), to determine fairness and reasonableness. Pricing tools such as historical price information, price competition information, or the Independent Government Estimate will be used to determine reasonableness.

7.4. The Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers.

7.5. Offerors are reminded to include their best technical and price terms in their initial offer.

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression that can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

“Time”, if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

(b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals.

Offerors using commercial carriers should ensure that the proposal is marked on the outermost wrapper with the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this provision.

(2) The first page of the proposal must show--

(i) The solicitation number;

(ii) The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

(2) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals. Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

(5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers, is included in the solicitation.

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed--in whole or in part--for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.
