The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Specifications and Solicitation. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in these Instructions to Offerors may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation or rejection of an offer.

1.1.2 The proposal acceptance period is specified in Block 13, SF 1442, of this solicitation. By signing block 20B of the SF 1442, the offeror certifies that the proposal is valid from the due date and time listed in block 13A through the entire period specified in block 13D.

1.1.3 All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Federal Business Opportunities website at http://www.fedbizopps.gov. Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

1.1.4 The Government reserves the right to revise or amend the specifications, drawings, or the solicitation prior to the proposal closing time. Such revisions or amendments will be communicated by amendments to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and posted in Federal Business Opportunities website (www.FBO.gov). If such amendments require material changes in quantities or prices, the proposal closing date may be postponed by enough days to enable offerors to revise their proposals.

In such cases, the amendment will include an announcement of the new closing date and time.

Offerors MUST acknowledge all amendments in their proposal, either by completing SF 1442 Block 18, providing signed copies of the amendments with their proposal (Section III), or by separate letter which includes a reference to the solicitation and amendment numbers.

1.1.5 Questions. The Contracting Officer listed below is the Government's primary point of contact for this acquisition. All questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted in writing. Any questions and subsequent answers will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website (www.fbo.gov). It is the offeror's responsibility to continuously monitor the site for updates. The site visits will be held on 29 October 2019 and 12 November 2019, and due to ongoing mission requirements will be the only available site visits. See relevant clauses in solicitation for additional details.

Offerors must thoroughly review the specifications and drawings before submitting questions. Any questions not submitted in writing, to include any at the site visit, will not be considered an official response and will not form a basis for an extension of the proposal due date.

Contracting Officer: Ronald J. Wilson, ronald.wilson.22@us.af.mil

Contracting Specialist: 1st Lt Michael Cenedella, michael.cenedella.1@us.af.mil

1.1.6 In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain a copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

1.1.7 Debriefings. The Contracting Officer will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range (if established); whereupon, they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505. Offerors excluded from the competitive range may request a pre-award debriefing or they may choose to wait until after the source selection decision to request a post award debriefing. However, offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. The Contracting Officer will notify unsuccessful offerors of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR 15.503(b). Upon such notification, unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing. Offerors desiring a debriefing must make their request in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506, as applicable.

1.1.8 Discrepancies. If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the omission or error. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

1.1.9. The Contracting Officer 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 contracting officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

1.1.10 Who Can Participate. Proposals may be submitted by ALL interested parties pursuant to the following: At the time of initial contract offer and at time of award, each business must be registered at SAM.gov.

2.3.7 The Government shall consider past performance information on contracts obtained from other sources when evaluating the offeror's past performance.

2.3.8 If Teaming Agreements are contemplated, the teaming members must provide complete information as to relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming agreements.

If this is a first time teaming effort, each party to the teaming agreement must provide information on all relevant contracts as specified in paragraph 2.3.1.

The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor teaming agreements; provided, the agreements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in an offer. Teaming agreements will be incorporated into the contract. Failure to clearly define roles and/or provide a teaming agreement with a proposal shall make teaming agreements and related subcontractor past performance ineligible for evaluation and consideration of award. Teaming Agreements must provide the following information as part of their proposal, Volume II (b), not later than the date/time proposals are due:

2.4.1.1 Clearly establish roles of each party (who is prime and who is subcontractor, who is responsible for what tasks, contract administration, proposals, work management, etc.)

2.4.1.2 Provide for protection of competition-sensitive proprietary information (subcontractor past performance cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor's consent). 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 contractor, only if it is being used as part of the past performance evaluation.

2.4.1.3 Identify each member's share of the prospective contract, e.g. 50/50, 51/49, etc.

2.4.1.4 Exclusivity. Assurance that the team member will not be replaced for the duration of the contract, any exceptions should be identified. Assurance that the team members are not teaming with another firm for the same procurement.

An authorized official of the firm submitting the offer must sign and date the SF 1442 in block 20a-c.

(In doing so, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the RFP, Sections A through K).

2.5.3 Insert proposed prices in Section B for each Contract Line Item.

2.5.4 Complete remaining sections through Section K. Representations and certifications shall be included in Section K or the System for Award Management (SAM). Ensure that both the FAR and DFARS representations and certifications are completed.

2.5.5 Submit the Financial Responsibility Questionnaire (Attachment E) with the top portion only completed.

2.5.6 Price Proposal - Offerors shall provide a price breakdown for each Project/CLIN utilizing Attachment G, the 50 Division Cost Estimate Worksheet. Use the 50 Divisions Cost Estimate CSI* Format tool to build your proposal. Offerors shall input the major work elements by specification division and provide pricing for those major work elements within each division sheet. The information from the division sheets may not be all inclusive. Offerors are allowed to include any missing items from each division and are allowed to fill in other divisions that are not listed in the prefilled division sheets. Offer will be complete, accurate, and sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirement. Offeror's are cautioned not to utilize Lump Sum or Total Pricing when pricing each individual specification division. Failure to breakout major work elements within a specification division may result in an unfavorable evaluation. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed pricing rests with the offeror. Evaluation of this area will be addressed under the Price Factor and the Technical Factor.

*NOTE: Each CLIN must have one 50 Division Cost Estimate Worksheet, a total of four, one per project number, including bid options. Separate prices of modular furniture (FF&E) and construction work in Section B for CLIN 0002, as SubCLINs AA & AB, but use only one (1) 50 Division Cost Estimate Worksheet for CLIN 0002.

2.6 Volume IV- Small Business Participation Plan

2.6.1. The Offeror must complete and submit the Small Business Participation Plan Form (Attachment H).

2.6.2. All offerors (both large and small businesses) will be evaluated on the level of proposed participation of U.S. Small businesses in the performance of the contract relative to the objectives and goals established herein. The Offeror's proposal must meet the minimum mandatory Total Small Business Participation Goal of 37% of total contract value (through collective small business participation from any type of small business or sub-category small business). The subcategory small business goals are as follows:

Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business.............2%;

HUBZone Small Business.........................................2%;

Small Disadvantaged Business....................................3%;

Women-Owned Small Business..................................5%.

2.7. Volume V - Subcontracting Plan (Applicable to Large Businesses Only)

2.7.1 Separate from the Small Business Participation Plan. Large Business concerns must also submit a Subcontracting Plan as required by FAR 52.219-9 Small Business Subcontracting Plan

- Alternate II (DEVIATIONS 2018-O0018 and 2019-O0005). The Subcontracting Plan will not be rated by the Source Selection Team (SSET), but rather reviewed by the Small Business Advisor and the Contracting Officer for acceptability. Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation shall include a subcontracting plan that separately addresses subcontracting with small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. If the offeror is submitting an individual contract plan, the plan must separately address subcontracting with small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns, with a separate part for the basic contract and separate parts for each option (if any). The plan shall be included in and made a part of the resultant contract. The subcontracting plan shall be negotiated within the time specified by the Contracting Officer. Failure to submit and negotiate a subcontracting plan shall make the offeror ineligible for award of a contract.

2.7.2 In accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations, DFARS 215.304(c)(i), when an evaluation assesses the extent that small businesses are specifically identified in proposals, the small businesses considered in the evaluation shall be listed in any subcontracting plan submitted pursuant to FAR 52.219-9, Alternate II (DEVIATIONS 2018-O0018 and 2019-O0005) and DFARS 252.219-7003 Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DoD Contracts)-Basic (Dec 2018). The assessment will consider if the plan adequately responds to each of the required elements of the FAR 52.219-9, Alternate II (DEVIATIONS 2018- O0018 and 2019-O0005) and if the commitments listed in the Offeror's Subcontracting Plan are comparable to the commitments addressed in the Offeror's Small Business Participation Plan submitted in Volume IV, Factor 4.

2.8. Relationship between Instructions and Evaluation. Your attention is directed to the functional relationship between Sections L and M of this solicitation. Section L provides information for the purpose of organizing the proposal and is not intended to be all inclusive. Section M describes evaluation factors for award. The Government evaluation of proposals will cover areas identified in Section M, proposals should address all such areas of evaluation.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

1.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

1.1 General Information.

1.1.0 This is a competitive best value source selection conducted in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement (DFARS), and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Supplement (AFFARS).

These regulations are available electronically at the FAR website, https://acquisition.gov/. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub-factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an unfavorable evaluation or elimination from the competition. The Government reserves the right to award all, none or some of the Bid Options (CLINS 0002-0004).

1.1.1 This acquisition will utilize a Best Value approach. The Best Value technique chosen for this particular acquisition will be a tradeoff between Past Performance and Price IAW FAR 15.101-1. This technique permits tradeoffs between price and past performance in order to achieve the best value.

1.1.1.1 The Government will select the best overall offer, based upon an assessment of Past Performance and Price. A contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation's requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors and sub-factors to represent the best value to the Government. The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Air Force the greatest confidence that it will best meet, or exceed, the requirements. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors, and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the past performance of the higher price offeror outweighs the cost difference.

The SSA will base the source selection decision on an assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation (described below). While the Government source selection evaluation team and the SSA will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

1.1.1.2 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.

1.1.1.3 If, during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to establish a competitive range the Contracting Officer may determine that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted. The Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

1.1.1.3.1 Discussions or negotiations with all offerors in the competitive range, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs), and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) may be considered in making the source selection decision. If the offeror's proposal has been evaluated as acceptable at the time discussions are closed, any changes or exceptions in the Final Proposal Revision are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror's proposal be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award. Offerors may be required to participate in telephone discussions or face-to-face oral discussions at the Contracting Office (AFTC/PZIOC) at 308 W. D Avenue, Ste. 130 (Bldg. 260), Eglin AFB, FL, 32542.

1.1.1.4 Offerors 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.

2.0. Evaluation process.

2.1 All proposals received in response to this Request for Proposals (RFP) will be evaluated. The Government will evaluate Offferor's proposals based on the criteria described herein and will award the contract to the Offeror providing the Best Value to the Government. The Government intends to award without discussions.

The source selection procedures will begin with the initial review of proposals and continue with technical, and price evaluations conducted by the Source Selection Evaluation Team (SSET). The SSET shall evaluate proposals based solely on the evaluation criteria identified in the following paragraphs. The results of the SSET evaluations will be presented to the SSA for review. The SSA will make the final source selection decision. The Contracting Officer will determine whether it is appropriate to engage in clarifications or communications with the offerors prior to establishment of a competitive range, or to establish a competitive range and conduct discussions with those offerors that are included in the competitive range. All communications leading to the establishment of the competitive range will be conducted in accordance with FAR subpart 15.306(b). However, if a competitive range is established, discussions will be conducted with offerors who are included in the competitive range. After conclusion of discussions and receipt of final proposal revisions (if applicable), the SSET will complete the evaluation and establish the final ratings and present them to the SSA. The SSA will then review the proposals and make the final source selection decision.

2.2 Contractor Responsibility. Once the apparent successful offeror is selected the Government will evaluate the offeror's financial capabilities and the specified criteria at FAR 9.104. In the case of a Teaming Agreement, the financial capabilities of both teaming partners will be evaluated, with the Prime Contractor's financial capability carrying significantly more weight than the subcontractor's.

Attachment E, Financial Responsibility Questionnaire will be forwarded to the financial institution(s) and a determination will be made regarding the apparent successful offeror's financial capabilities and overall contractor responsibility using the specified criteria at FAR 9.104.

3.0. Proposal Evaluation

Evaluation Factors. The below evaluation factors will be used to evaluate proposals:

Factor 1: Technical Evaluation. Construction Progress Schedule--Volume I

Factor 2: Past Performance Evaluation--Volume II

Factor 3: Price Evaluation, Proposal Documents and Contractor Responsibility--Volume III

Factor 4: Small Business Participation Plan - Volume IV

Factor 5: Subcontracting Plan (Large Businesses Only) - Volume V

3.1 FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL EVALUATION. Offeror's technical proposals will be evaluated as specified below:

3.1.1. Subfactor 1: Proposed Construction Progress Schedule - The offeror's proposed contract progress schedules will be evaluated relative to overall coordination of the construction phase, to include ability to identify all necessary work elements of the specific project, the offerors ability to schedule the activities in a logical sequence, is within the time required in this solicitation, and covers the minimum requirements listed in below. The proposed schedule must include the activities which are consistent with those described within project specifications and drawings, and must not exceed the Government's maximum allowable performance period, as noted in SF 1442 (RFP), Block 11 and Section F, FAR Clause 52.211-10.

3.1.1.1 In accordance with Section L, Subfactor 1 will be evaluated against the following minimum requirements:

a) The Construction Progress Schedule includes the following work elements: mobilization, submittals, demolition, major work elements identified in each specification division, final inspection, demobilization and close-out documents.

b) The order of the work elements in the Construction Progress Schedule, to include project phasing, is logically sequenced.

c) The start and end dates for each Phase of the project as indicated in the Specifications and Drawings (Phases A-D) is identified and Phase starts on the specified date.

d) The total number of days for each phase when aggregated together does not exceed 365 calendar days.

e) Long Lead Time Materials (e.g. major HVAC equipment, electrical equipment, pre-engineered buildings, etc.) are identified in the proposal, or the proposal states that there are no Long Lead Time Materials.

f) Proposal identifies those work elements within the critical path.

Failure to submit a Construction Progress Schedule will result in immediate elimination from competition.

3.1.2. Sub Factor 2: 50 Division Cost Estimate Worksheet: The Government will evaluate the offeror's understanding of the contracts technical requirement through an analysis of the major work elements proposed by each offeror in each specification Division. In accordance with Section L, this Sub Factor will be evaluated against the following minimum requirements:

a) The offeror submitted the four 50 Division Cost Estimate Worksheets;

b) The offeror has proposed the appropriate Divisions in relation to the specifications;

c) Major work elements are identified within each Division and are sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirement; and

d) Quantities for materials, labor and other services are not significantly understated or overstated.

3.1.2.1. Failure to submit a price for all CLINs and SubCLINS in the price schedule at Section B or failure to submit and complete the four 50 Division Cost Estimate Worksheets will render the offer ineligible for award.

3.l.2.2. Offeror's who fail to provide a breakdown of the major work elements within each Division and only provide a lump sum or other aggregate type of unit pricing consisting of a quantity of 1 for an entire Division will be evaluated as Unacceptable.

3.1.2.3. Technical Evaluators shall assign a rating of "ACCEPTABLE" or "UNACCEPTABLE" for each subfactor based on the minimum requirements established above. For Sub Factor 2 evaluators will assign a rating for each of the four (4) required 50 Division Cost Estimate Worksheets. Ratings are defined as follows:

Adjectival Rating Description

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

*If any subfactor is evaluated as unacceptable then the whole factor is considered unacceptable. For Subfactor 2 if any of the four (4) 50 Division Cost Estimate Worksheets are rated unacceptable the whole factor is considered unacceptable.

**If all offerors are deemed technically unacceptable, the Government may establish a competitive range and enter into discussions.

3.2. FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. Only Offeror's proposal that have been determined technically acceptable will have their past performance information evaluated. The

Government will perform a Past Performance evaluation and determine a Performance Confidence Assessment rating. The Past Performance evaluation assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in the Offeror's ability to successfully perform the requirements of this effort. The evaluation considers recency, relevancy and quality.

3.2.1. Performance confidence is assessed at the overall Past Performance factor level. The Government may consider aggregate Past Performance in addition to Past Performance on an individual contract basis. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the Offeror's Past Performance proposal volume and in the information obtained from other sources, such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or similar systems, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources.

3.2.1.1. Recency Assessment - An assessment of the Past Performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must have been performed during the past six

(6) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Efforts that have not yet been completed must have at least one (1) year of performance from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past Performance information that fails to meet these conditions may not be evaluated.
