GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK

PROJECT PRA-GRSM 1B21

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

DTFH71-14-R-00002

Project Description: The project will restore and stabilize the slide area adjacent to Newfound Gap Road near Milepost 16.5. Construction consists of a soldier pile with lagging retaining wall, and other miscellaneous work. The soldier piles will be further connected via a whaler and rock bolts. The steel H-piles will be placed inside drilled shafts that are socketed in the competent rock. The project is located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Swain County, North Carolina. The NEPA compliance has been completed. All work will occur on National Park Service property.

The construction cost for this project is estimated to be between $2,000,000 and $7,500,000.

Scope of Work: The detailed scope of work to be undertaken by the successful Offeror under the contract for this project is outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation documents.

These include the Plans, Special Contract Requirements (J Pages), and supplemental reports.

Procurement Overview of the Project: In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 14.5, the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) is conducting a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection Process for this project. Under this Notice, the EFLHD (also referred to as “the Government”) is soliciting all eligible Contractor firms/teams (Offerors) to participate in a two-step RFP process. The two steps will include the submittal of two proposal packages; a technical proposal and a cost proposal.

During step one, a selection evaluation board will review and evaluate the technical proposals submitted by all interested, responsive Offerors. The selection committee will select qualified Offerors based on the pass/fail evaluation criteria as stated in the RFP’s Proposal Instructions - Evaluation of Proposal Documents (B Pages). Offerors should submit technical proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information. The Government may make a final determination regarding a technical proposal’s acceptability solely on the basis of the technical proposal as submitted. The Government may proceed with the second step (lowest price evaluation) without requesting further information from any Offeror; however, the Government may request additional information from any Offeror with a technical proposal considered reasonable and close to acceptable, and may discuss any technical proposal with its Offeror.

Only one technical proposal may be submitted by each Offeror. The step one technical proposal shall not include any prices or pricing information.

During step two, only technical proposals determined to be acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. The cost proposals corresponding to the acceptable technical proposals will be opened and ranked according to price and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible Offeror as stated in the RFP’s Proposal Instructions - Basis of Award (B Pages). Only one cost proposal may be submitted by each Offeror and the cost proposal must be based upon the Offeror’s own technical proposal.

As stated in FAR Clause 52.236-1, the Contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least 50%.

Contract award is anticipated by approximately the first week of December 2013, with the Notice to Proceed anticipated to be effective upon receipt of valid Performance and Payment Bonds. Construction is to be completed by May 14, 2014.

It is not the intent of EFLHD to receive project specific design or engineering recommendations as part of the step one technical proposal. Offerors should limit their technical proposal to the information required by this Notice, and other information that may be relevant to the qualifications and experience of the Offeror. No reimbursement will be made for any expenses associated with the preparation of a step one technical proposal or a step two cost proposal.

Obligation to Keep Team Intact: In connection with the services covered by this procurement process, any in-house personnel, subcontractors, and outside associates will be limited to the individuals or firms that are specifically identified during the step one technical proposal. The Contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s written consent before making any substitution for these designated in-house personnel, subcontractors, or outside associates.

Supplemental Work: Offerors are expected to provide qualified and experienced staff to develop appropriate pre-construction or construction protocols as designated by Federal, state, and local regulations/guidelines, including but not limited to the following:

• Work Plan.

• Accident Prevention Plan.

• Health and Safety Plan.

• Environmental Management Plan.

• Waste Management Plan.

• Recycling Plan.

Submittals: Each Offeror must provide one (1) original clearly marked and eight (8) duplicate original hard copies of the completed technical proposal. In addition, provide one (1) CD-ROM containing the completed technical proposal in PDF format. The technical proposal shall contain no more than ten (10) pages typed on one side only. The technical proposal shall be bound. If tabs are used and contain project-specific information, they will be counted as pages. The technical proposal shall be written on 8.5" x 11" paper using Times New Roman font with a size of 12-point. All technical proposal documents must be submitted in a sealed envelope separate from the cost proposal documents.

Each Offeror must provide one (1) original Bid Schedule and Cost Proposal Summary (Pages B- 1 through B-5) completed as instructed in the RFP’s Proposal Instructions - Step 2 Lowest Price (B Pages) instructions. All cost proposal documents containing prices or pricing related information, including but not limited to the SF1442 and Small Business Subcontracting Plan, must be submitted in a sealed envelope separate from the technical proposal documents.

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

PROJECT: PRA-GRSM 1B21

OFFERORS PLEASE NOTE: Before preparing the proposal, carefully read the Instructions to Bidders. While preparing the proposal, comply with the following:

The Government will award the project to the lowest priced/technically acceptable responsible Offeror. The Contracting Officer intends to evaluate all proposals from all eligible Contractor firms/teams (Offerors) for technical acceptability. After all of the technical proposals have been evaluated, the Offerors that are found technically acceptable will be ranked according to price and the lowest Offeror will be awarded the contract.

EVALUATION OF PROPOSAL DOCUMENTS

STEP 1 – TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

Competing technical proposals will be evaluated against the solicitation requirements; they are not compared with each other. Each of the technical evaluation factors described below will be rated on a pass/fail basis, and must receive a passing score for an Offeror's proposal to receive further consideration. Failure to receive a passing score for any technical evaluation factor will result in rejection of an Offeror's proposal notwithstanding passing scores for other technical evaluation factors. Technical acceptability will be determined by evaluating each responsive proposal and comparing the results of that evaluation against the technical requirements specified in the solicitation. Proposals which satisfy the technical requirements of the solicitation, in light of the evaluation criteria, will be determined technically acceptable.

Evaluation Factor - Experience in the construction of roadway and retaining wall projects in the Great Smoky Mountains Region

Offerors will be evaluated on past performance and experience in the construction of roadway and retaining wall projects in the Great Smoky Mountains Region. This evaluation will be based on the Offerors record and reputation for satisfactorily completing projects similar in size and complexity. The Government will review and evaluate documented past performance and will rate each Offeror as acceptable or unacceptable. By acceptable past performance, the Government means that the Offeror has a good reputation for satisfying its customers and delivering quality work in a timely and safe manner at a reasonable cost. Acceptable past performance also means the Offeror has a reputation of integrity, reasonable and cooperative conduct, and commitment to safety and customer satisfaction. In reviewing and evaluating past performance, the Government will consider information obtained from the Offeror, and may consider information obtained from other sources. This includes past and present customers and their current and former employees; past and present subcontractors and their current and former employees; current and former employees of the Offeror; Federal, state, and local government agencies (including court records); and private consumer protection organizations. The Government will evaluate past performance information and will rate each Offeror as pass or fail.

The following specific sub factors will be evaluated:

(a) Experience in roadway construction projects in the Great Smoky Mountains Region similar in size, complexity, and location. Provide a list of three to five roadway and retaining wall construction projects that the prime contractor has completed in the last five years. The information provided for the construction projects shall be written on 8.5" x 11" paper using Times New Roman font with a size of 12-point, and shall contain the information listed below. Limit each construction project discussion to no longer than one 8.5" x 11" sheet.

• Project Name

• Project Location

• Project Owner and Contact Information including phone number and email address

• Year (Award of Contract, Original and Final Completion Date, reasons for extension if any)

• Name of Contractor Project Manager or Resident Engineer

• Name of Contractor Superintendent

• Name(s) of significant subcontractors (if any)

• Cost Performance – Initial Bid, Final Cost, Reasons for Change

• Discussion of project scope.

Include names, titles, and phone numbers for all references submitted.

(b) Ability to work with Federal or state agencies and successfully complete a project in difficult site conditions, including but not limited to a remote location, mountainous terrain, adverse weather conditions and/or work under traffic. Submit documentation that shows evidence of successful completion for the prime contractor and any identified subcontractors performing more than 25% of the work.

(c) Contractor’s approach to managing the construction schedule, including the ability to adjust activities to achieve required completion dates. Include experience in the following:

• Initial schedule development.

• Review of scheduled activities to ensure conformance with design and construction requirements.

• Schedule updates and adjustments as needed due to adverse or unforeseen conditions.

STEP 2 – LOWEST PRICE

COMPLETING THE BID SCHEDULE

Complete the Bid Schedule(s) by handwriting in ink or typing.
