The Government's evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects (see Teaming Agreements and JV's, para 4.2 and 4.3), when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of each contract are deemed relevant to complexity and magnitude as related to the requirements of this solicitation and in accordance with Section M. Failure to provide required relevancy description may impact the confidence rating, (i.e. aspects of previous projects should match work elements identified in the Solicitation/ specification).

4.1.1.1 Each proposal shall provide current and relevant information regarding an offeror's actions under previously awarded contracts:

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

b) 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 2.1]. 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 10 00, paragraph 1.01, and costs comparable to 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.

4.1.2 Complete Section A, Contractor Information, of Attachment 4, Past Performance Questionnaire and mail, or email the attached Past/Present Performance Questionnaire to all past performance references in the list you provide and instruct them to return the completed questionnaire to the individual(s) indicated in paragraph 4.1.3 below.

Electronic submission of Questionnaires shall be sent to:

Richard Beaty, Email: richard.beaty.3@us.af.mil Alyssa Jesmain, Email: alyssa.jesmain@us.af.mil

4.1.4 Lack of any past performance will not automatically disqualify an offeror, but it is a factor that is considered in the Performance Price Trade-Off Source Selection described in Section M.

4.1.5 If the offeror claims there is no past performance, then that status must be identified to the Contracting Officer not later than the date/time proposals are due from all offerors.

4.2.1 The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of formal contractor Teaming Agreements; provided, the agreements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in an offer. A Teaming Agreement must establish each party's role in the proposal preparation process and will be incorporated into the contract. Failure to clearly define roles and/or provide a Teaming Agreement with a proposal shall make teaming arrangements and related subcontractor past performance ineligible for evaluation and consideration of award. The prime contractor shall remain fully responsible for contract performance, regardless of any Teaming Agreement between the prime contractor and its subcontractors. Teaming Agreements must provide the following information as part of their proposal, Volume II (b), not later than the date/ time proposals are due:

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 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 technical and/or 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.

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 - Project Schedule Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Cost/Price

2.1 Relative Importance of Factors.

The relative importance of each factor and subfactor is as follows: Past Performance, Technical, and Cost/Price.

Order of importance: Factor 2 (Past Performance) being most important, Factor 1 (Technical) next in importance, and Factor 3 (Cost/Price) is last in importance. 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 EVALUATION FACTORS.

The Technical evaluation provides for two distinct but related assessments into one rating: the Technical and the Technical Risk. These two have equal impact for the rating of each Technical factor. 3.1 Technical Assessment. The technical assessment provides an assessment of the quality of the offeror's solution for meeting the Government's requirement. The assessment will focus on the strengths and deficiencies of the offeror's proposal, and how well the offeror's proposal meets the Technical factor requirements.

3.2 Technical Risk Assessment.

The Assessment of Technical Risk, which is manifested by the identification of weakness (es), considers potential for disruption of schedule, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. The risk rating considers the risk associated with the technical approach in meeting the requirement.

3.3 Technical Subfactor Ratings.

Each Technical subfactor will receive one of the color ratings described in DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table3 - Combined Technical/Risk Ratings, excerpted below. The Technical Risk descriptions identified in the Combined Technical/Risk Rating description are further defined in DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table 2B - Technical Risk Descriptions, excerpted below. Factor ratings shall not be rolled up into an overall color rating for the Technical factor.

Table 3. Combined Technical/Risk Rating Method

Please reference Attachment 9 - Table Graphics Reference Section M document.

Table 2B - Technical Risk Descriptions

Please reference Attachment 9 - Table Graphics Reference Section M document.

3.4 FACTOR 1, Technical, 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.

3.4.1 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 258-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.

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

3.4.2.1 Identification of separate work elements.

3.4.2.2 Order of work elements to include project phasing

3.4.2.3 Identification of work elements in the critical path

3.4.2.4 Number of days for each work element.

3.4.2.5 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).

4.0. PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR.

The Past Performance evaluation will result in an overall performance confidence assessment as defined below. This performance confidence assessment represents the Government evaluation team's judgment 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 are defined in the DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table 5 and as follows:

TABLE 5 - PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

Please reference Attachment 9 - Table Graphics Reference Section M document.

4.1 Evaluation Process: The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract's requirements. Performance confidence is assessed at the overall Past Performance factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror's recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the Technical factors and Cost/Price factor taking into consideration their relative order of importance stated in Section M, paragraph 2.1. 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 information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) or other databases; interviews with Program Managers and Contracting Officers; the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and commercial sources.

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

4.1.2 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, 2.1). 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 10 00, and costs comparable to 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. 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. The Government will use the following relevancy definitions from the DoD

Source Selection Procedures, Table 4 when assessing recent contracts:

Please reference Attachment 9 - Table Graphics Reference Section M document.

4.1.3 Quality of Performance. All recent past performance that is determined to be somewhat relevant, relevant, or very relevant will be reviewed to determine the quality of the offeror's performance, general trends, and the usefulness of the performance. This information will be used by the evaluation team in determining the overall performance confidence assessment rating.

4.1.4 Assigning Ratings: As a result of the relevancy of the recent contracts evaluated, offerors will receive an integrated performance confidence assessment rating. Although the past performance evaluation focuses on performance that is relevant to the Technical factors and cost/price factor, the resulting performance confidence assessment rating is made at the factor level and represents an overall evaluation of contractor performance.

Offerors without a record of recent/relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and, as a result, will receive an "Unknown Confidence" rating for the Past Performance factor. More recent performance will have a greater impact on the Performance Confidence Assessment than less recent or relevant effort. A strong record of relevant past performance may be considered more advantageous to the Government than an "Unknown Confidence" rating. Likewise, a more relevant past performance record may receive a higher confidence rating and be considered more favorably than a less relevant record of favorable performance.

4.1.5 If a Teaming Agreement is submitted as part of the proposal as outlined in Section L para 4.2, each teaming offeror's past performance will be evaluated separately using the same evaluation methods described above. The Prime Contractor's past performance will be weighted slightly more than equal based on their overall responsibility for contract management. The separate ratings of each party in the Teaming Agreement will be combined to determine an aggregate PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT CONFIDENCE RATING as defined in Section M.

4.1.6 If an offer is submitted as a Joint Venture under a Mentor-Protege program as outline in Section L para 4.3, the Government will evaluate past performance for each partner to the Joint Venture individually as well as past performance accomplished by the Joint Venture itself. The separate ratings of each party in the Joint Venture will be combined to determine an aggregate PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT CONFIDENCE RATING as defined in Section M

5.0 COST OR PRICE FACTOR.

The offeror's Cost/Price proposal will be evaluated to ensure it is reasonable, pursuant to FAR 15.404.

5.1 Cost/Price will be evaluated for the period of which funding is made available. If certified funds are made available on or before 30 September 2023, Cost/Price evaluation will accomplished using CLIN 0001 ONLY.

5.2 Reasonable: Must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business.

6.0 CLARIFICATIONS, DISCUSSIONS, AND NEGOTIATIONS.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offerors initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. In accordance with FAR 15.306, Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, relevance of past performance information). Communications (Clarifications) 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. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Discussions or negotiations may be conducted with all offerors in the competitive range.
