Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. Proposals will be evaluated against the Mission Capability and subfactors c attachments 7 and 8. Evaluation Factors for Award. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with the SOW or General Requirements, (including referenced publications, technical data, etc.); statements paraphrasing the SOW or General Requirements or parts thereof (including applicable publications, technical data, etc.); and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., will be considered unacceptable. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and expertise and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

ii. The Technical Acceptability Volume shall, at a minimum, be prepared in a form consistent with the evaluation criteria for award set forth in this solicitation. The section shall be prepared in an orderly format and in sufficient detail to enable the Government to make a thorough evaluation of the offeror’s technical competence and ability to comply with the contract task requirements specified in Section 00100 and Division 1, General Requirements (Exhibit A). The offeror shall address as specifically as possible the actual methodology that would be used for accomplishing the SOW or General Requirements tasks. The Technical Acceptability Volume shall be organized according to the following general outline:

(1) Table of Contents: The table of contents section shall include a list of tables and drawings and across reference matrix, as applicable.

(2) Subfactor (a) – Mission Capability: The evaluation will consider how well the offeror understands how a job order contract operates; how its proposed methodology; processes and resources satisfy the management of the overall contract and, with regard to both the technical and administrative aspects of a JOC; how complete its plan is with respect to mobilization and task order proposals; the effectiveness of the process(es) employed to estimate and submit complete task order proposals; and overall task order management of a high volume of awarded task orders simultaneously and efficiently within established timelines and negotiated prices. The evaluation team will assess each offeror’s and how proposed methodology, processes and resources satisfy the management of the overall contract and whether the offeror demonstrates adequate management and oversight of the contract and all award task orders.

(3) Subfactor (b) - Proposed Staffing: The Government will evaluate the effective use of key personnel and determine if the offer’s proposed staffing matrix provides a successful mix of key positions. To be considered technically acceptable, proposals shall consider the following positions to be the absolute minimum management staffing requirements: Project Manager, Program Manager, Superintendent, Quality Control Plan Manager, Site Safety and Health Officer. The evaluation will assess the number of personnel per position; organizational management and hierarchy of authority within the on-site staff and corporate leadership; how the offeror will obtain and provide administrative support for Computer-aided Design and Drafting (CADD), project scheduling, payroll and other related administrative support functions; and manage periodic increase in active workload. To be considered acceptable, the evaluation extends to the assessment of the offeror’s process for replacing key personnel as vacancies occur, and how the offeror will provide additional staff to support fluctuating workload to satisfy the regulatory requirements for direct superintendence and quality control. Substantiated teaming arrangements, partnerships, and mentor/protégée agreements and joint ventures must be clearly explained to indicate which partner of the agreement is responsible for various functions, duties and responsibilities.

The Government considers the following key positions to be the absolute minimum acceptable level of management staffing requirements: Project Manager, Program Manager, Superintendent, Site Safety and Health Officer, and Quality Control Manager. Key personnel employed under the awarded contract shall meet the minimum qualifications described in the paragraphs below. All personnel performing in the described positions shall be direct employees of the prime contractor; none of these functions is allowed to be subcontracted below the prime contractor.

The Plan shall discuss the offeror’s retention and replacement program for these key positions, to include timelines for replacement and how the offeror will execute those functions until a new employee is hired.

The Plan shall describe how the offeror will provide additional resources during seasonal workload fluctuation.

The Plan shall include a description of work to be performed by in-house tradesmen (if used) and other team members, subcontractors, and suppliers.

Under this 8(a) set-aside, offerors are free to propose teaming arrangements, mentor/protégée agreements, partnerships, and joint ventures so long as they are official business arrangements allowable under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act. Any arrangements proposed shall be sanctioned by the Small Business Administration, and the Contracting Officer will validate the eligibility of those arrangements as part of this sub-factor.

(4) Subfactor (c) - Notional Task Order Requirements: The evaluation will assess the offeror’s proposal prepared in response to two (2) fictional scenarios provided in Attachments 7 thru 7b and 8 thru 8c. The evaluation will determine the offeror’s ability to plan, estimate, schedule, and execute multiple task order requirements. The evaluation will assess the offeror’s ability to recognize and understand all the necessary inputs, assertions and assumptions steps required for the preparation and submission of a compliant task order proposal, to include all the requirements described in this solicitation and Exhibit A. The evaluation will consider the offeror’s ability to determine adequate timelines and proper scheduling of material submittals and other pre-construction deliverables, subcontractors, and inspections required by the contract. While these sample proposals will not be evaluated for price and are not reflective of any anticipated task orders under the awarded contract, the correct selection of line items, quantities, and time devoted to various aspects of the work will be evaluated for acceptability. Failure of an offeror to provide the requisite response to the notional task order in its entirety will result in an unacceptable rating in the subfactor.

c. Volume III – Past Performance

i. The Government will perform a Confidence Assessment of the Offeror’s past performance to arrive at a confidence rating. The Confidence Assessment represents the evaluation of an Offeror's past work record to assess the Government's confidence in the Offeror's probability of successfully performing as proposed. Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform. In addition, the offeror shall detail the percentage of work performed by each subcontractor or partner based on the total proposed price. The offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter (see Attachment 1), executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

ii. The offeror shall include documentation regarding their present and past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than six (6) years from the issue date of this RFP for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance. This volume has no page limitation. Relevant efforts are defined as services/efforts that are the same as or similar to the effort (as compared to NAICS code 236220) required by the RFP including work on an active military installation, work in occupied buildings, and work with same/similar state and federal construction codes. Projects considered relevant may include JOC, Simplified Acquisition Base Engineer Requirements (SABER) contracts, or Construction, Repair, Renovation, Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (SRM) contracts of at least $2 Million and a duration of no less than 60 days of performance. The offeror is required to submit past performance data on itself as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. If the offeror has no past performance data, then it must so state. If it is relying on the past performance data of a joint venture or teaming partner that must also be stated, and evidence submitted showing that such a joint venture exists for the purposes of this acquisition.

Data concerning the offeror shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners in alphabetical order. In the case of a joint venture, the prime offeror joint venture should demonstrate successful experience and past performance as that joint venture, as well as each member of the joint venture as applicable. Failure to provide the past performance data/information requested can result in a proposal being determined to be noncompliant and may be eliminated from further consideration.

iii. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offeror in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offeror. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government.

iv. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)) and, as a result, will receive a "Neutral Confidence" rating for the Past Performance factor. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating.

The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received.

v. Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

(1) Table of Contents

(2) Consent Letters (Attachment 1): Executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing the release of past performance information so the offeror can respond to such information.

(3) Client Authorization Letters: For each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance under a specific contract.

(4) Organization Structure Change History: Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company.

As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

(5) Specific Relevant Contracts Format (Attachment 2): is limited to four (4) pages per reference. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. The submittal shall include specific narrative explanation and rationale supporting objectives achieved and assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. For any contracts that did not/do not meet original schedule or technical performance requirements, provide a brief explanation of the reason(s) for the shortcomings and any corrective action(s) taken to avoid recurrence. The offerors shall list each time the delivery schedule was revised and provide an explanation of why the revision was necessary. The offerors shall also provide a copy of any Cure Notices or Show Cause Letters received on each contract listed and a description of any corrective action implemented by the offeror or proposed subcontractor. The offerors shall indicate if any of the contracts listed were terminated and the type and reasons for the termination.

Additionally, provide a narrative describing any litigation activity (i.e., bond claims, liquidated damages, insurance actions, or claims related to project performance, etc.) that the Offeror has been, or is currently party to involving its subcontractors, customers or any Surety within the past six (6) years. The narrative should include the Parties involved, the magnitude of the Claim and the resolution.

vi. Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 3): is for the contracts identified on each Specific Relevant Contract Reference. The offeror shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to the nicholas.j.rowton.civ@army.mil and alfred.j.keetch.civ@army.mil not later than 3:00 pm MST, July 31st, 2024. Any questionnaires not returned directly to the nicholas.j.rowton.civ@army.mil and alfred.j.keetch.civ@army.mil by the date and time specified herein will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance. New entities formed for the purpose of proposing on this solicitation (joint venture, teaming partners, or mentor protégé) that have no past performance history under that business arrangement are permitted to submit past performance information for the individual entities forming the arrangement.

d. Volume IV – Price

i. General. The Government reserves the right to require the submission of Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data as is deemed necessary to arrive at a fair and reasonable price. All information relating to the proposed cost/price data must be submitted in electronic format. Electronic versions of the Cost/Price proposal shall be submitted in MS Office Excel format only, and shall NOT be read only or password protected.

All formulas, lookup tables, and links shall be intact, and no links shall exist to files not included with the submission. Excel workbooks should not contain hidden spreadsheets. PDF or flat files will not be acceptable.

Failure to comply with these formatting requirements may result in rejection of the proposal. Offeror’s submittals shall be free of viruses, Trojans, spyware, and other malicious code for which appropriate detection and removal/quarantine software exists.

ii. The basis for pricing this JOC incorporates the use of a commercial cost estimating and project management software tool (e.g., WinEst, MS Project, e4Clicks) which employs a price modifier known as a coefficient. A coefficient is a numerical factor that is multiplied by the estimated total project costs to derive the final fixed-price task order price proposed to the Government. The coefficient includes various factors reflecting the contractor’s cost of doing business and operating a field office on Dugway Proving Ground (e.g., direct and indirect labor, field overhead, corporate overhead, equipment leases, transportation, training and certification, permits and licenses, profit) and a factor reflecting an evaluation of the accuracy of a contract-specified cost estimating tool to the local subcontractor/supplier market. This is done using a Unit Price Book (UPB) RSMeans, and is generally referred to as the “value of the book.” The Government uses RSMeans data from Gordian as the RSMeans cost estimating tool. All estimates shall be submitted using a electronic cost planning software with RS Means cost data as the UPB. All the line items found in the RSMeans bound volumes.

iii. Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Price Volume containing the following:

(1) Bondability Letter: The offeror shall provide a letter from a qualifying surety that validates the ability to provide bonding at the contract’s estimated annual maximum contract value and specifies the offeror’s aggregate and single project limits, remaining bond capacity, and impact anticipated from the proposed contract.
