Section 00 21 16 - Instructions to Proposers

1.0 PROPOSAL CONTENT

1.1 Volume I - Technical Proposal

A. Factor 1 – Management Approach: Submission Requirements

Submission Requirements

Factor 1 – Subfactor 1: Operations Plan.

For an Offeror’s Operation Plan to be considered acceptable, it must at a minimum accomplish the following:

The plan must adhere to the proposal submission instructions and address the Offeror’s approach and methodology and depth of understanding of the contract performance requirements for management, supervision, manpower and equipment resources, quality control/assurance, and safety associated with Job Order Contracts.

The Operations Plan shall also include an organizational structure, which demonstrates the efficiency in day-to-day operations, quick resolution of problems, clear roles and responsibilities and excellent communication networks.

The plan should also demonstrate the ability of the firm to manage multiple construction projects of varying magnitudes relating to the repair and alteration of real and personal property facilities, e.g. maintenance, repair, and minor construction services.

The plan shall include a list of primary subcontractors with capability and equipment resources to respond to Job Order Contract task orders.

Factor 1 – Subfactor 2: Key Personnel

For an Offeror’s Key Personnel to be acceptable, the proposal must identify the qualifications of key personnel in the following positions:

Project Superintendent Contract Manager Quality Control Manager Site Safety Health / Environmental Compliance Manager

- Project Team and Shared Roles: The Contract Manager (CM) shall not serve as the primary PS (Project Superintendent), QCM (Quality Control Manager), or SSHO (Site Safety and Health/Environmental Officer), however the CM may be appointed as an alternate to provide oversight during the short term absence of the primary QCM, PS, SSHO if the CM meets the qualifications of those positions. The QCM, PS, and SSHO may be a single person if that person meets the qualifications of every position.

-The Project Superintendent must have a minimum of five (5) years of relevant construction Project Superintendent experience, and a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience on construction similar to this contract. Resumes for key personnel to include Letter of Commitments signed by key personnel and prime contractor (If used as experience in proposal) shall also be provided.

-The Contract Manager, Quality Control Manager, and Site Safety Health / Environmental Compliance Manager must have a minimum of five (5) years’ relevant experience in the operations of construction projects similar in nature, size, scope and complexity of this solicitation.

Factor 1 – Subfactor 3: Experience Executing Similar Requirements The Offeror’s experience will be evaluated to allow the Offeror’s to demonstrate their ability to execute Contract requirements. Offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) and no more than five (5) contracts that are on going or have been completed within six (6) years from the date of this solicitation that best represent their experience similar to the scope of work for this solicitation. If an offeror is proposing as a Joint Venture (JV) and project experiences cannot be provided as a JV, each partner shall submit experience information, with no more than five (5) contracts each. Experience must be of similar size and scope as this requirement and be recent and relevant to be technically acceptable. Reference FAR Clause 52.219-14 LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING. Additional regulatory requirements for SBA and VA must be satisfied if proposing as a SDVOSB JV.

Factor 2 - Past Performance Submission Requirements

The contractor shall submit the same projects for past performance that were used to show experience in Factor 1 – Subfactor 3: Experience Executing Similar Requirements.

The evaluation of past performance is a subjective assessment of the Offeror’s past performance on contracts of a similar nature, size, scope, and complexity, utilizing a comparable number of personnel with like skills. The Government will consider the Offeror’s previous and current record of contractual performance. In this context, Offeror refers to the proposed prime contractor and major subcontractors. Major subcontractors are defined as those intended to perform a critical contract function and/or whose annual subcontract revenue is expected to exceed (10% percent) of the anticipated prime contract revenue.

The Offeror shall provide past performance information in one of two formats for each project provided under Factor 1 – Subfactor 3: Experience Executing Similar Requirements.

(1) Copies of Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs – also commonly referred to as CCASS reports) for projects performed for the U.S. Government. If the project provided has a CPAR, it must be used by the Offeror to demonstrate past performance. If CPAR submission is used to validate past performance, it shall be the most recent evaluation in the system (i.e., for projects submitted as completed, the final 100% completed CPAR shall be provided). If the Offeror submits a CPAR, they are not required to submit a separate Past Performance Questionnaire for the specific project.

(2) If CPAR information is not available for a project provided for experience, a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), attached at the end of this section (Form PPQ-0) must be provided per the following guidance:

a. The Past Performance Questionnaire included in the solicitation is provided for the

Offeror to submit to the client for each project the Offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1 – Subfactor 3: Experience. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact.

b. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your 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 still submit Form PPQ-0 with their proposal, only with blocks 1-6 filled out, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s).

c. 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, Leah Cobb, via email to:

Leah.B.Cobb@usace.army.mil, with the subject reading “ERDC JOC PPQ” prior to the proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure the Government will be able to contact the POCs using the contact information provided. Offerors are encouraged to send their request to the POC as soon as possible once a project is identified for experience under Factor 1.

The Offeror may also include performance recognition documents received within the last 3 years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. 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, joint venture, 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), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

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.

Overall Technical Acceptability

If a proposal is found to be technically unacceptable in any one of the evaluated areas, this will render the proposal as technically unacceptable overall, and the offer will be removed from further consideration for award.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT

YOUR EVALUATION OF THE CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE

RATING DEFINITION NOTE

(E) Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit.

The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

(VG) Very Good

Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit.

The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

(S) Satisfactory Performance meets minimum contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract.

(M) Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.

(U) Unsatisfactory

Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.

(N) Not Applicable

No information or did not apply to your contract

Rating will be neither positive nor negative.

Section 00 22 16 - Supplementary Instructions to Proposers

1.0 OVERVIEW

The Government will evaluate the proposal in accordance with the evaluation factors stated in this solicitation. The evaluation factors in this solicitation are described herein using the evaluation rating systems outlined for selection procedures.

2.0 BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer will award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to that responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the Request for Proposal (RFP), is determined to include fair and reasonable prices, and offers the overall best value to the Government considering the selection factors listed in this solicitation. The Government will determine the best overall value on the basis of the “Lowest Price Technically Acceptable” (LPTA) process. This process allows the Government to make an award to the offeror who meets the Government’s minimum technical requirements and offers the lowest fair and reasonable price. In accordance with FAR 15.101-2, the LPTA process does not permit tradeoffs between price and non-price factors.

For a proposal to be considered for award, the proposal must, at a minimum, meet all proposal submission requirements for non-cost evaluation factors. The application of the best value, LPTA technique in the source selection and contract award process is as follows:

a. A decision on the technical acceptability of each Offeror’s proposal will be made based upon the comparison of the offer with the evaluation factors discussed herein. Only those Offeror’s proposal determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, only if discussions are held, will be considered for award.

b. The Government’s intention is to award without discussions, but reserves the right to enter discussions if necessary.

c. Award will be made to the lowest-priced Offeror with acceptable ratings for the two (2) non-cost factors. There are no ranking of factors and no tradeoffs between technical factors, past performance, or price in the LPTA process.

Factor Location Description FACTOR 1 VOLUME 1 Management Approach – Offerors shall describe their Operations Plan, Key Personnel, and Experience Executing Similar Requirements.

FACTOR 2 VOLUME 1 Past Performance – Offeror shall demonstrate past performance in successfully Executing Similar Requirements.

FACTOR 3 VOLUME 2 Price and Other Required Information – Submit a properly filled out bid schedule, properly executed bid guarantee, required pre-award information, and representations and certifications.

I. Evaluation of Factor 1 - Management Approach

The purpose of this factor is to assess whether the Offeror’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements.

The Government will review the clarity, adequacy, capabilities and resources of the Offeror’s described plan to respond to the Government’s notification of a proposed task order requirement.

The technical aspects of the Management Approach proposal will be evaluated based upon the following subfactors: Operations Plan, Key Personnel, and Experience Executing Similar Requirements.

Each of these subfactors will be evaluated for acceptability on a pass/or fail basis. If any subfactor of Factor 1 Management Approach is considered unacceptable, Factor 1 will be rated as unacceptable.

Factor 1 – Subfactor 1: Operations Plan.

For an Offeror’s Operation Plan to be considered acceptable, it must at a minimum accomplish the following:

a. The plan must adhere to the proposal submission instructions and address the Offeror’s approach and methodology and depth of understanding of the contract performance requirements for management, supervision, manpower and equipment resources, quality control/assurance, and safety associated with Construction Contracts.

b. The Operations Plan shall also include an organizational structure, which demonstrates the ability to set up and maintain communication networks in day-to-day operations, quick resolution of problems, clear roles and responsibilities and excellent communication networks.

b. Contract Manager

c. Quality Control Manager

d. Site Safety Health / Environmental Compliance Manager

The QCM, PS, and SSHO may be a single person if that person meets the qualifications of every position.

-The Project Superintendent must have a minimum of five (5) years of relevant construction Project Superintendent experience, and a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience on construction similar to this contract.

Offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) and no more than five (5) contracts that are on going or have been completed within six (6) years from the date of this solicitation that best represent their experience similar to the scope of work for this solicitation. If an offeror is proposing as a Joint Venture (JV) and project experiences cannot be provided as a JV, each partner shall submit experience information, with no more than five (5) contracts each. Experience must be of performing contracts similar in size and scope as this requirement and be recent and relevant to be technically acceptable.

Table 1. Management Approach Subfactor Evaluation Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the

II. Factor 2 - Past Performance

The contractor shall submit the same projects for past performance that were used to show experience in Factor 1 – Subfactor 3: Experience Executing Similar Requirements.

The evaluation of past performance is a subjective assessment of the Offeror’s past performance on contracts of a similar nature, size, scope, and complexity, utilizing a comparable number of personnel with like skills. The Government will consider the Offeror’s previous and current record of contractual performance. In this context, Offeror refers to the proposed prime contractor and major subcontractors. Major subcontractors are defined as those intended to perform a critical contract function and/or whose annual subcontract revenue is expected to exceed (10% percent) of the anticipated prime contract revenue.

The Government will consider the combined Offeror’s and proposed subcontractor’s experience and performance in providing services consistent with the scope and complexity of the requirement during the last five (5) calendar years. The Government will assess the Offeror’s team to determine whether the team displays the depth and breadth of experience necessary to demonstrate a satisfactory history of performance relative to the solicitation requirements in the scope of work.

The Government’s assessment will focus on contracts that meet the following conditions:

Recency. Only contracts that were performed or awarded within the last five (5) calendar years will be considered.

Relevancy. Only contracts which were/are relevant in size and scope of work will be considered.

The Government will examine the Offeror’s record of satisfying customer requirements, including consideration of the Offeror’s:

1. Technical performance, including technical performance, staffing, subcontractor management, quality control, safety, and commitment to customer satisfaction as evidenced by reasonable and cooperative behavior.

2. Cost Controls. Record of containing and forecasting costs on previously performed contracts.

3. Schedule. Record of adherence to contractual schedules.

Satisfactory Past Performance displays the depth and breadth of experience necessary to demonstrate a satisfactory history of performance relative to the solicitation requirements.

Any significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the source selection process. A negative finding under any element may result in an overall unsatisfactory determination. Therefore, Offerors are reminded to include all relevant past efforts, including demonstrated corrective actions, in their proposal.

Offerors are directed to FAR 15.305 and advised that where they are without a record of relevant past performance, or where information on past performance is not available, the Offeror may not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

The Government will use data provided in the Offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other sources. The Offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the Offeror.
