Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

- Relevancy Assessment:

The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the products provided/services performed under those contracts relate to the Technical factor and Cost/Price factor, including their relative order of importance [reference Section M, para 1.1(a)(2)].

Consideration will be given to projects involving the type of construction and work elements described in the attached Specifications. Relevant past performance information must demonstrate construction experience involving the type of construction and work elements described in the attached Specifications, Section 01 00 00, and cost within the project magnitude, as specified in Block 10 for the SF 1442, Request for Proposal. A relevancy determination of the offeror's past performance will be made based upon the aforementioned considerations, including joint venture partner(s). In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror or teaming partner whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. The past performance questionnaires and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the degree of relevancy of past performance.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

1.0 SOURCE SELECTION

1.1 Basis for Contract Award.

1.1 General Information. This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS). These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FAR Site, https://www.acquisition.gov/. The Best Value technique chosen for this particular acquisition will be Performance Price Tradeoff (PPT). The PPT technique permits tradeoffs between price/cost and past performance, and includes an evaluation for technical acceptability. Contract award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, is considered technically acceptable, and provides the best value to the Government, considering price and past performance. For this acquisition, technical will be rated as "acceptable" or "unacceptable" and past performance is significantly more important than price/cost. Contract(s) 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 subfactors 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 integrated 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. Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of technical acceptability or price may be rejected at any time during the evaluation process.

1.2 Discussions.

If, during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. If the offeror's proposal has been evaluated at the time discussions are closed, any changes or exceptions in the Final Proposal Revision are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk to the offeror's proposal that may change the rating of the offeror's proposal.

2.0 EVALUATION FACTORS.

The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal: Award will be made to the offeror proposing the combination most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors described below.

Factor 1: Technical Subfactor 1: Project Schedule Subfactor 2: Qualifications Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Cost/Price

2.1 Relative Importance of Factors. For this acquisition, technical will be rated as "acceptable" or "unacceptable" and past performance is significantly more important than price/cost. In accordance with FAR 15.304(e), all evaluation factors other than Cost/Price, when combined, are significantly more important than the cost or price.

In accordance with FAR 15.304(e), all evaluation factors other than Cost/Price, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price.

3.0 TECHNICAL PROPOSAL EVALUATION FACTORS. For the Technical Evaluation, offers shall be evaluated independently of the cost/price proposal evaluation to determine the offerors compliance with the technical requirements of this solicitation. The Government may make a final determination as to the rating of an offer based on the proposal as submitted without requesting any further information.

3.1 Technical Rating. Technical Evaluators shall assign an overall rating of "ACCEPTABLE" or UNACCEPTABLE" based on the minimum requirements established in Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 below as described in DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table C-1 - Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Method, excerpted below:

TECHNICAL ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE RATING METHOD

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

3.2 SUBFACTOR 1: Project Schedule:

Using the provided specifications, the offeror must provide a project schedule and narrative supporting the schedule. The proposal shall describe procedures, processes and methods for tracking the progress of the project and interface with the Government and contractor team from beginning to end.

3.2.1 The progress schedule and supporting narrative will be evaluated on how well the offeror captured the separate work elements of the project, the order of work elements to include project phasing, number of days for each work element, and the identification of long lead time materials. Long lead items such as major equipment, electrical equipment, pre-engineered piping, etc., must be specifically identified in the technical proposal. If there are no Long Lead Time Materials, the proposal must state that there are no Long Lead Time Materials.

The AF Form 3064, Contract Progress Schedule shall reflect a 180- day performance period. At a minimum, the project must include: mobilization, submittals, demolition, and major work elements by specification division, final inspection, demobilization, and close-out documents. The schedule must be in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion by any given date during the performance period.

3.2.2 The project schedule itself shall be evaluated to determine if it visually depicts and addresses each of the following elements:

3.2.2.1 Identification of separate work elements

3.2.2.2 Order of work elements to include project phasing (including identification of critical period as discussed in paragraph 1.2 above)

3.2.2.3 Number of days for each work element

3.2.2.4 Identification of Long Lead Time Materials (Long lead items such as major equipment, electrical equipment, pre-engineered piping, etc., must be specifically identified in the technical proposal. If there are no Long Lead Time Materials, the proposal must state that there are no Long Lead Time Materials.).

3.3 SUBFACTOR 2: Qualifications.

3.3.1 Qualifications: The Source Selection Team will evaluate the contractor's proposed key personnel who will be involved in the day-to-day accomplishment of this contract including, as a minimum, personnel qualified in the areas identified below. The Source Selection Team will evaluate this subfactor to determine if the qualifications of proposed personnel meet the identified minimum requirements, certifications, and licenses required for personnel performing activities or acting in the specific capacity.

-Program/Project Manager (PM):

The contractor's Program/Project Manager shall have as a minimum at least five (5) years experience managing construction projects. The PM is the primary POC for the CO for all contractual issues with regards to project /program execution and is responsible for the overall management of this contract. The PM is to ensure that quality work is accomplished on schedule and assuring qualified personnel and subcontractors are assigned to complete performance. It is the PM's responsibility to ensure that contractor personnel and subcontractors possess the appropriate qualifications and experience to complete specified project tasks and that they comply with all statutes, regulations, as well as the contract requirements. The PM shall have and provide to CO, upon request, all required employee or subcontractor certifications and qualifications.

-Superintendent:

Must have a minimum of five (5) years experience in construction with at least two (2) years of those years as a superintendent on projects similar to the relevancy of the required project.

4.0 PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FACTORS. The Government will evaluate all proposals for technical acceptability before beginning evaluation of Past Performance. The Past Performance evaluation will result in an overall performance confidence assessment as defined below. This performance confidence assessment represents the Past Performance Evaluation Team's judgement of the probability of an offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort based on the offeror's demonstrated past and present performance. The performance confidence assessments utilized are described in DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table 5 - Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Method , excerpted below:

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

Rating Description

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 offer's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable 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.

The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

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.

4.1 Evaluation Process. The Government will evaluate offers as follows: If the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror is judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" rating under the category of past performance, and is determined responsible under the criteria set forth in FAR 9.104, that offer will be accepted, and the evaluation process stops at this point. If the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror is not judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" past performance rating, or is not deemed to meet the responsibility criteria at FAR 9.104, then the evaluation process continues. Next, the second lowest priced technically acceptable offeror will be evaluated for past performance and responsibility as outlined above in this paragraph. Offerors will continue to be evaluated in the order of lowest to highest priced, until an offeror receives a "Substantial Confidence" rating and meets the responsibility criteria, at which time that offeror and all previously evaluated lower priced offerors will be considered. Of these offerors, the Government will then accept the responsible offeror that is determined to be the best value, as determined by a tradeoff between past performance and total evaluated price.

4.1.1 Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past six (6) years from the issuance month of this solicitation.
