FORCE PROTECTION CONDITIONS

Force Protection Conditions (FPCON) are implemented on the base to increase protective measures in anticipation of, or in response to, the threat of terrorist attack. The DoD FPCON consists of five progressive levels of increasing protective measures. The circumstances that apply and the purposes of each protective posture are as follows:

FPCON NORMAL: Applies when a general global threat of possible terrorist activity exists and warrants a routine security posture. At a minimum, access control will be conducted at all DoD installations and facilities.

FPCON ALPHA: Applies when there is an increased general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel or facilities, and the nature and extent of the threat are unpredictable. ALPHA measures must be capable of being maintained indefinitely.

FPCON BRAVO: Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists. Sustaining BRAVO measures for a prolonged period may affect operational capability and military-civil relationships with local authorities.

FPCON CHARLIE: Applies when an incident occurs, or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely. Prolonged implementation of CHARLIE measures may create hardship and affect the activities of the unit and its personnel.

FPCON DELTA: Applies in the immediate area where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence has been received that terrorist action against a specific location or person is imminent. This FPCON is usually declared as a localized condition. FPCON DELTA measures are not intended to be sustained for an extended duration.

PASSES FOR EMPLOYEES Requests for passes will be submitted to the CO. These passes will run through the contract completion date (or the period that the employee will be required to be at the job site) and should be turned into the contract administrator upon contract completion. You may also submit a letter to the CO requesting authorization for two contractor employees to sign "temporary" workers onto the base. The CO will forward the authorization letter to the Dorchester gate where it will be kept on file through the completion of the contract.

If work is performed in the airfield, temporary airfield passes must be obtained through the technical inspector. Note that all employees must have a valid identification and Social Security card in order to obtain a base pass. Refer to the Contract Clause 5352.242-9001, Background Checks for Contractor Personnel Requiring Entry/Access to Installation/Locations (June 2004), for information on required background checks for all workers entering Joint Base Charleston and North Auxiliary Field.

GREEN PROCUREMENT

The Green Procurement Program (GPP) is a mandatory federal acquisition program that focuses on the purchase and use of environmentally preferable products and services. Many different items are covered by the GPP. Recycled-content products are designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). "Biobased" products made from renewable plant materials are designated by the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Energy and water efficient products are designated by the Department of Energy (DOE). GPP also requires us to avoid purchasing Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and EPA-designated Priority Chemicals. Environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP) is a voluntary program, and it encourages the purchase of goods and services that have decreased effects on human health and the environment (compared to the competing goods and serve the same purpose) but are not already required by one of the mandatory GPP elements. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgates this product information via the Federal Register and the World Wide Web/Internet http://www.epa.gov/cpg/products/htm. Green Procurement is mandated, except when the Contractor can show that the product with recycled content does not meet intended specifications, has excessive cost, or cannot be delivered in time to support the schedule of the contract. If the Contractor is unable to locate a specified product meeting the GPP requirement, identify the issue to the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative for guidance. GPP is based on legal requirements and the Department of Defense facilities are subject to enforcement action if these requirements are ignored.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Basis of Contract Award: This is a competitive best value source selection in which competing offerors' past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than cost or price considerations. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and representations and certifications. All such offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

FACTOR 1 - PRICE EVALUATION

Initially offers shall be ranked according to total proposed price for the Base Bid CLINS (0001, 0002, & 0003). An offeror's proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B, price Schedule, by the proposed unit price for each Line Item to confirm the extended amount for each. The extended amounts will be added together to determine the total evaluated price. Offerors whose total evaluated price is unreasonable (in accordance with FAR 15.404 and FAR 31.201-3), unbalanced (in accordance with FAR 15.404-1), or unaffordable (not within any budgetary information included in the solicitation) may not be considered for award. The price evaluation will document (for the offers evaluated under paragraph (a) below) the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price.

FACTOR II - PAST PERFORMANCE/EXPERIENCE

(a) The contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information on the lowest priced offerors (usually the lowest two to five) based on (1) the past and present efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from the offeror, as solicited, questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition, and sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interview with Program Managers, Contracting officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. The Government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receive a Substantial Confidence performance assessment.

(b) Recent performance is defined as work performed within 5 years of the issue date of this solicitation. Relevant performance includes performance of multi-discipline efforts involving restoration or repair of commercial structures, including removal and replacement of renovation or repair of drywell lift station and sewer water pumps that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude, and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. Additionally, relevant performance includes performance of design and build to renovate latrines as well as multi-discipline efforts involving interior renovations to (3) vestibules in the existing facility similar or greater in scope, magnitude, and complexity

The purpose of than the effort described in this solicitation (Repair Various Dry Well Lift Stations 1380, 709, and 730).

the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror's ability to perform the effort described in this solicitation, based on the offeror's demonstrated present and past performance. There are four levels of relevancy as shown in DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table 4. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Table 4. Past Performance Relevancy Rating Method

Adjectival Rating Description

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.

(c) The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Neutral Confidence, Limited Confidence, or No Confidence, as defined in DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table 5. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be considered as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating "Neutral Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. The Source Selection Authority may determine that "Substantial Confidence" or "Satisfactory Confidence" is worth more than "Neutral Confidence".

Table 5. Performance Confidence Assessments Rating Method

Adjectival 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 offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Neutral Confidence

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 be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(d) 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 solicitation.

(e) If the lowest priced evaluated offer is judged to have a Substantial Confidence performance assessment, that represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" performance confidence assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated, and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a "Substantial Confidence" performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision.

(f) Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and, in the format, specified in Section L. 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. 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.

(g) The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. 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 as acceptable at the time discussions are closed, any changes or expectations in the FPR are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror's proposal be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.

(h) THE GOVERNEMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AWARD SOME, ALL, OR NONE OF THE CLINS UNDER THIS

CONTRACT.
