For all volumes you must submit an original and two (2) hard paper copies and also place all Volumes on a Compact Disc (CD).

In addition, the Offeror is responsible for providing the Government the completed Attachment B questionnaires provided back to the Offeror by their references as part of Volume III.

NOTE 2. Joint ventures are considered as affiliated and controlling or having the power to control each other with regard to performance of the contract.

2. Proposal Organization: The paper files will be checked to determine the number of pages and compliance with proposal instructions. Those pages in excess of the limit of Volume II will be removed from the back and returned by the PCO to ensure they are not evaluated. The Government will not keep any pages in excess of the limit. If Evaluation Notices (EN’s) are required, page limits may be placed on any responses. Any page limits for responses to ENs will be identified in the letter forwarding the ENs to you. Excess pages submitted in response to EN’s will be removed in the same manner as above by the

PCO.

iii. Page Definition: A page is defined as one face of a sheet of paper containing information.

iv. Page Numbering: Pages in each volume must be numbered sequentially and consecutively.

The cover page, table of contents, list(s) of tables and drawings, and blank pages are excluded from the page count.

v. Text and graphics portions of the electronic copies shall be in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) Word 2003 or higher or Adobe PDF. Data submitted in spreadsheet format shall be readable by MS Excel 2003 or higher. In case of conflict between the paper copy and the electronic copy of the proposals submitted, the paper copy shall take precedence. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government intends to make an award based on the initial offers received, without discussion of such offers.

vi. It is preferred that the volumes are not submitted in hard cover binders or spiral bound.

4. Specific Instructions for Volume I – PRICE PROPOSAL

i. Complete blocks 14 (to include CAGE Code), 15, 16, 17, 19 (if applicable), and 20A-C of the Standard Form (SF) 1442, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. An authorized official of the firm must sign and date the SF 1442 in Blocks 20A-C. In doing so, the Offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the RFP Sections A through J. These sections constitute the model contract.

ii. Insert proposed unit prices in Section B for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). An Offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B by the proposed unit Price for each CLIN to confirm the extended amount for each. The extended amounts will be added together to determine the Offeror’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP).

iii. Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in Sections I through K. Section K shall be returned in its entirety with your Price proposal. For Sections C through I, the Offeror shall submit only those pages that require a fill-in. The Offeror’s online Representations and Certifications record must be current, accurate and complete within the System for Award Management (SAM). For additional information, reference https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/.

iv. In accordance with block 13 of the SF 1442, a Bid Guarantee is required (See contract clause 52.228-1). The Bid Guarantee shall be 20% of the offered amount and must accompany the proposal submission.

v. Submission of the financial questionnaire is required to be submitted by the Offeror on the Attachment C form(s) in regards to having, or having the ability to obtain, adequate financial resources to cover the contract. The Attachment C form shall be completed by the Offeror's main financial banking institution, and may be completed for the Offeror's suppliers and/or from other businesses having financial affairs with the Offeror. This information is to guide the Contracting Officer in determining whether or not the Offeror has the necessary financial resources to perform the contract or has the ability to obtain them prior to award in accordance with FAR 9.104-1(a).

Information submitted on Attachment C form(s) is not a technical factor and will not be evaluated.

Rather, this information is required by the FAR in order to be eligible for award and is submitted in advance to expedite the Contracting Officer's determination of Offeror responsibility prior to contract award. The contractor shall submit the advanced copy of Attachment C via email to juanita.lambert@us.af.mil and courtesy copy (CC) ashley.smith.28@us.af.mil and gage.bergman@us.af.mil no later than (NLT) March 23 2015.

vi. The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the PCO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; Offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the PCO to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the Price. In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than cost or pricing data may be required to support price reasonableness and realism. Data shall be provided in accordance with FAR 15.403-5. If, after receipt of proposals, the PCO determines that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the Offeror shall be required to submit certified cost or pricing data. Should adequate price competition not exist after receipt of proposals, the provisions of FAR Part 15.403-4 shall apply, and the Offeror will be asked to provide certification of cost or pricing data.

5. Specific Instructions for Volume II – PAST PERFORMANCE PROPOSAL

Only information for same or similar type contracts as defined in the relevant definition in paragraph 5ii are desired. This includes Past Performance for a major subcontractor who performed 25% of the aggregate of the project. Provide any information available (i.e. descriptive language, letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of completed projects for same or similar contracts completed within the last three years as well as current projects nearing completion. In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems such as extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc. Provide comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions. If applicable, provide a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their Past Performance information to the prime Offeror. Past Performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have recent and relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement WILL NOT be rated as highly as Past Performance information for the principle Offeror. First time Teaming Arrangements and Joint Ventures with no past performance will not be rated as highly as the principle offeror or Teaming Arrangements/Joint Ventures with previous past performance.

RECENT AND RELEVANT INFORMATION For the purpose of this RFP, recent and relevant Past Performance is defined as:

i. RECENT – Ongoing contracts with a performance history, and contracts completed within three (3) years from the issue date of this RFP (see SF 1442, Block 3).

ii. RELEVANT – Performance of construction work which is the same or similar in scope, magnitude, trade, and complexity, as described in the RFP, including the specifications and drawings, contract type, contract environment, subcontractor interaction, and Price. Relevant contracts include experience as a prime contractor and/or Joint Ventures expertise in the area of construction activities on the focus of new work, civil site work, utilities, fire alarms, mass notification systems, communications, metal roof, interior finishes, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and paving.

6. Specific Instructions for Volume III –PAST PERFORMANCE REFERENCES

i. Only references for same or similar contracts are desired.

ii. The Government will evaluate the quality and extent of Offeror’s performance deemed recent and relevant to the requirements of this RFP. The Government will use information submitted by the Offeror on the Attachment A and Attachment B forms, the Past Performance Proposal, and other sources such as other federal Government offices and commercial sources, to assess performance. The Government may also use other information available that is determined relevant to this effort, such as, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Recent and relevant contracts include contracts that meet the recent and relevancy definitions detailed below.

iii. Teaming Arrangement or Joint Venture: If the Offeror intends to fulfill the requirements of this RFP in a teaming arrangement or joint venture, the Offeror must provide complete information as to the arrangement, including a list of any relevant and recent past/present performance information on previous teaming arrangements or joint ventures with the same teaming or joint venture partner. If this is a first-time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past and present contracts. First time, Joint Ventures or Teaming Arrangements, with no past performance will not be rated as highly as the principle offeror or established Teaming Arrangements or Joint Ventures with previous past performance.

7. Additional Instructions

i. Deviations. Deviations from these instructions will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer to ensure that no Offeror receives a competitive advantage. Deviations resulting in a competitive advantage for an Offeror will result in the proposal being determined noncompliant with the RFP requirements. Offerors unconditionally assume the risk that a clear quantitative deviation will be deemed qualitatively advantageous to the Offeror and determined noncompliant with the RFP.

ii. Disposition of Unsuccessful Proposals. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the Offeror requires otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of unsuccessful proposals.

This is a competitive best value acquisition utilizing the tradeoff process without technical proposals in accordance with FAR 15.3, Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by DoD Source Selection Procedures, AFFARS 5315.3, MP5315.3, and the evaluation process and criteria set forth in this Request for Proposal (RFP). This procurement will be conducted as an 8(a) set-aside. The Government will award a contract resulting from the RFP to the acceptable, responsible Offeror whose proposal, conforming to this RFP, offers the best-value to the Government. The evaluation factors are: Factor 1: Price and Factor 2:

Past Performance, with Past Performance being approximately equal to Price. Evaluation criteria are the same for all competing Offerors.

2. Offerors shall ensure that proposals are submitted in accordance with the instructions provided in clause FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors - Competitive Acquisitions and Section L of this RFP. By submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all RFP requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, exhibits, attachments, drawings, and specifications.

3. Offerors shall propose prices for all CLINs. Any offer that fails to cite a Price for each item, or fails to make an entry, may be rejected as nonconforming to this RFP.

4. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the RFP terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Failure to meet a requirement risks rejection.

5. Only Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) offers will be evaluated for FFP Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs).

An offer using a sliding price scale, or subject to escalation based on any contingency for FFP designated CLINs, will not be accepted. Only one contract will be awarded for this requirement.

b. EVALUATION PROCESS:

1. Price Evaluation: Initially, offers will be ranked according to their Total Evaluated Prices (TEPs) for each CLIN. Each offeror’s proposed CLIN prices will be determined by multiplying the “Unit Price” by the Government provided ”Quantity” identified to determine the “Amount” for each CLIN. Price will be reviewed and evaluated based on the CLINs shown within RFP, Part I, Section B – Supplies or Services and Prices which begins on the page following the SF 1442- RFP, Offer, and Award. The Government has four CLINS for this effort and are prioritized in order as CLIN 0001 - The Larger Footprint with CMU;

0002 - The Larger Footprint; CLIN 0003 – The Smaller Footprint with CMU; CLIN 0004 – The Smaller Footprint.

Each offeror's price proposal will be evaluated, using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404, in order to determine if it is reasonable. Once the PCO has determined that adequate price competition exists within this source selection price fair and reasonableness will be evaluated, at a minimum, based on the comparison of the offeror’s overall TEP with all other competitive offerors’ overall TEPs received in response to the RFP. After the proposals are ranked by price, the past performance evaluation will proceed as defined in paragraph a.3. above.

2. Past Performance Evaluation: Using the information provided in Volume II, Past Performance Proposal and Volume III, Past Performance References (Attachment A’s) and completed Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment B’s) and other available information, the Contracting Officer shall seek recent and relevant performance information on all Offerors based on (1) the past and present efforts provided by the Offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other Government, commercial and other sources.

i. Recent Definition: Ongoing contracts with a performance history, and contracts completed within three (3) years from the issue date of this solicitation (see Standard Form 1442, Block 3).

ii. Relevancy Definition: Performance of construction work which is the same or similar in scope, magnitude, trade, and complexity, as described in the RFP, including the specifications and drawings, contract type, contract environment, subcontractor interaction, and Price. Relevant contracts include experience as a prime contractor and/or Joint Ventures expertise in the area of construction activities on the focus of new work, civil site work, utilities, fire alarms, mass notification systems, communications, metal roof, interior finishes, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and paving.

iii. The Government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced Offerors if none of the lower priced Offerors receive a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment. The purpose of the Past Performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the Offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the Offeror’s demonstrated present and Past Performance. The Government will conduct a performance confidence assessment based upon Past Performance of the Offerors as it relates to the probability of successfully performing the solicitation requirements. This evaluation will include the Offeror’s record of (i) conforming to the Specifications and contract requirements, (ii) management of the project, (iii) reasonable and cooperative behavior and performance and commitment to customer satisfaction, and (iv) quality control. This assessment represents the Government evaluation team’s judgment of the probability of an Offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort, based upon the Offeror’s demonstrated present and Past Performance. The rating may be determined initially, or as a result of discussions. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence, as defined in Table 1.0.

iv. Offerors submitting Past Performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel, or subcontractors, are highly encouraged to provide sufficient details regarding them to allow the Government to fully evaluate the relative value of the information. For example, but not limited to, how is the Past Performance of a predecessor company, key personnel, or subcontractor recent and relevant to the determination of this Offeror’s ability to perform this contract. What will the level of involvement of key personnel be on this contract effort? Provide full details of any subcontractor’s involvement on this work effort. However, Past Performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have recent and relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will NOT be rated as highly as Past Performance information for the principal Offeror.

v. In evaluating Past Performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP.

vi. Offerors with no recent and relevant past or present performance history or the Offeror’s performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Definitions for Performance Confidence Assessments and Relevancy are as defined below:

Table 1.0 – Performance Confidence Assessments

Performance Confidence Assessments 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.

Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, The Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, The Government has no expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

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.

Table 2.0 – Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Definitions

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Definitions 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.

i. Offerors will be initially ranked from lowest TEP to the highest TEP for CLIN 0001

A. If the first lowest TEP for CLIN 0001is determined to be reasonable, and that offeror receives an overall Substantial Confidence performance rating, then that offer represents the best value for the Government. If that offer is less than or equal to the available funding for this contract, then evaluation process stops at this point. Award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

B. If the lowest TEP for CLIN 0001 does not receive a Substantial Confidence performance rating, then the offer with the next lowest TEP that is less than or equal to the available funding will be evaluated under the Past Performance Factor and the process will continue until either an offeror whose price is reasonable and less than or equal to the available funding receives a Substantial Confidence performance rating or all offerors whose prices are reasonable and less than or equal to the available funding have been evaluated.

C. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment best-value award decision by determining if the best-value to the Government is to pay a higher cost for a higher past performance assessment rating. The Government has the ability to:

I. Award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror for CLIN 0001 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has a Substantial Confidence Rating;

II. Award to a higher TEP offeror for CLIN 0001 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has a Substantial Confidence Rating;

III. Award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror for CLIN 0001 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has at least a Satisfactory Confidence Rating;

IV. Determine not to award a contract that includes CLIN 0001.

ii. If the Government determines not to award a contract that includes CLIN 0001, offerors will then be ranked from lowest TEP to the highest TEP for CLIN 0002.

A. If the first lowest TEP for CLIN 0002 is determined to be reasonable, and that offeror the best value for the Government. If that offer is less than or equal to the available funding for this contract, then evaluation process stops at this point. Award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

B. If the lowest TEP for CLIN 0002 does not receive a Substantial Confidence performance rating, then the offer with the next lowest TEP that is less than or equal to the available funding will be evaluated under the Past Performance Factor and the process will continue until either an offeror whose price is reasonable and less than or equal to the available funding receives a Substantial Confidence performance rating or all offerors whose prices are reasonable and less than or equal to the available funding have been evaluated.

C. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment best-value

I. Award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror for CLIN 0002 that is less than or

II. Award to a higher TEP offeror for CLIN 0002 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has a Substantial Confidence Rating;

III. Award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror for CLIN 0002 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has at least a Satisfactory Confidence

IV. Determine not to award a contract that includes CLIN 0002.

iii. If the Government determines not to award a contract that includes CLIN 0002, offerors will then be ranked from lowest TEP to the highest TEP for CLIN 0003.

A. If the first lowest TEP for CLIN 0003 is determined to be reasonable, and that offeror the best value for the Government. If that offer is less than or equal to the available funding for this contract, then evaluation process stops at this point. Award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

B. If the lowest TEP for CLIN 0003 does not receive a Substantial Confidence performance rating, then the offer with the next lowest TEP that is less than or equal to the available funding will be evaluated under the Past Performance Factor and the process will continue until either an offeror whose price is reasonable and less than or equal to the available funding receives a Substantial Confidence performance rating or all offerors whose prices are reasonable and less than or equal to the available funding have been evaluated.

C. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment best-value

I. Award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror for CLIN 0003 that is less than or

II. Award to a higher TEP offeror for CLIN 0003 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has a Substantial Confidence Rating;

III. Award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror for CLIN 0003 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has at least a Satisfactory Confidence

IV. Determine not to award a contract that includes CLIN 0003.

iv. If the Government determines not to award a contract that includes CLIN 0003, offerors will then be ranked from lowest TEP to the highest TEP for CLIN 0004.

A. If the first lowest TEP for CLIN 0001is determined to be reasonable, and that offeror the best value for the Government. If that offer is less than or equal to the available funding for this contract, then evaluation process stops at this point. Award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

B. If the lowest TEP for CLIN 0001 does not receive a Substantial Confidence performance rating, then the offer with the next lowest TEP that is less than or equal to the available funding will be evaluated under the Past Performance Factor and the process will continue until either an offeror whose price is reasonable and less than or equal to the available funding receives a Substantial Confidence performance rating or all offerors whose prices are reasonable and less than or equal to the available funding have been evaluated.

C. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment best-value

I. Award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror for CLIN 0004 that is less than or

II. Award to a higher TEP offeror for CLIN 0004 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has a Substantial Confidence Rating;

III. Award a contract to the lowest TEP offeror for CLIN 0004 that is less than or equal to the available funding and has at least a Satisfactory Confidence

IV. Determine not to award a contract.

2. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors - Competitive Acquisitions and Section L of this solicitation. Offeror’s may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of Past Performance information) or respond to adverse Past Performance information to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse Past Performance is defined as Past Performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

3. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective Offerors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if later the Contracting Officer determines this to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers, if such, is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in received offers.

4. Rejection of Unrealistic Offers: The Government may reject any proposal that is assessed to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low in Price, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program. Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of Price may be rejected at any time during the evaluation process. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial offers received, without discussion of such offers. The Offeror's initial proposal should reflect their best effort.

5. If the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) determines that discussions are necessary, Offerors may be required to participate in telephone discussions or in face-to-face oral discussions at the Operational Contracting Division, 308 West D Avenue, Suite 130, Bldg. 260, Eglin AFB FL.
