SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSALS

PROPOSAL PREPARATION

A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals, as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Throughout this section, the term “offeror” includes subcontractors, teammates and/or joint venture partners, and key personnel. The offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions.

Any offeror who submits an incomplete package may be considered non-responsive. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Request for Proposal (RFP). A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support cost/price and technical requirements in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Non-compliance with the instructions and RFP may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

B. TYPE OF ACQUISITION: This acquisition is a competitive 8(a) limited to contractors with a California

State licenses Class A (General Engineering Contractor) or Class B (General Building Contractor). For this acquisition, selection of the best value offeror(s) will be made using Lowest-Price Technically Acceptable

(LPTA) with the technical factors being evaluated on a pass/fail basis.

C. DISCREPANCIES AND AMBIGUITIES: If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, ambiguities, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale no later than 10 calendar days after the RFP release.

D. MISTAKES: Mistakes in offeror’s proposal shall be handled in accordance with FAR 14.407-4 as referenced in FAR 15.508.

E. POSTPONEMENT OF PROPOSAL CLOSING DATE: If a determination is made to postpone a proposal closing date, an announcement of the determination shall be posted to the Electronic Posting System (EPS) and, if practicable, before issuance of a formal RFP amendment otherwise communicated to prospective offerors.

F. POST-AWARD/PRE-PERFORMANCE CONFERENCE: A post-award/pre-performance conference will be scheduled by and held prior to the commencement of any work at that installation under the awarded contract. The offeror or his duly authorized representative is required to attend the post-award/pre-performance conference.

G. DISCUSSIONS: When discussions or requests for revised offers are not conducted or requested by the

Government, the coefficient prices identified in Schedule B shall be valid through the proposal acceptance period (SF 1442 Block 13 D), whereby the Contracting Officer will incorporate the most current Department of

Labor wage decisions identified in Section J at the time of contract award.

H. CONTRACT DOCUMENT: Sections K, L and M apply to the solicitation phase only; therefore, they will not be a physical part of the resulting contract.

I. POINT OF CONTACT (POC): The POC for this acquisition is the Procuring Contracting Officer (CO), William Davis and the Contract Specialist, Jessica Nelson. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the

CO/CS. Address any questions or concerns to them using the following contact information:

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 of the price.

mailto:William.Davis.18@us.af.mil mailto:Jessica.Nelson.6@us.af.mil

C. Format for proposal Volumes I and II shall be as follows:

(1) USE OF COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS TO TRANSMIT SOURCE SELECTION SENSITIVE INFORMATION:

To facilitate review and evaluation for this source selection the Government proposes to transmit data via commercial systems.

(4) Sub-Factor 4- Quality and Safety Overview

(5) Sub-Factor 5- Past Performance

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

EVALUATIONS OF PROPOSALS

M-1 SOURCE SELECTION

A. Basis for Contract Award: This is a competitive Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection in which technically acceptable competing offerors' will be evaluated on Technical acceptability and low price. Offerors must pass the technical evaluation for further consideration of their proposal. Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. Where applicable, the techniques and procedures described under FAR 15.404-1 will be the primary means of assessing proposal reasonableness. The Government intends to award a contract(s) without discussions with respective offerors; therefore, offerors should submit proposals, which represent their best efforts. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.

The Government proposes to award contracts to up to two offerors whose technically acceptable proposals represent the best overall value to the government based on the total evaluated coefficient and the technical acceptability. Failure to propose for any item in the Coefficient Schedule B, including any option year, or failure to comply with any terms and conditions of this solicitation may cause the offeror’s proposal to be rejected as non-responsive. The two lowest averaged coefficients, which are also realistic and technically acceptable, will each be awarded a contract.

B. Evaluation Process: Cost/Price will be evaluated based on contractor coefficients where an average of the contractor’s coefficients for each CLIN will be taken (Refer to Section M-2 Factor 1). Technical Proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability on a pass/fail basis (Refer to Section M-2 Factor 2). Recent and relevant past performance will be evaluated as a sub-factor of the technical evaluation.

C. Number of Contracts to Be Awarded: The Government may award up to two contracts for this acquisition.

M-2 EVALUATION FACTORS AND SUBFACTORS

A. Evaluation of Proposals: The Government will select the proposal(s) that gives the best value to the

Government. To arrive at a decision, the Source Selection Evaluation Team will assess each offer in accordance with the following evaluation factors:

Factor 1: Price/Cost Factor

Factor 2: Technical Capability Factor

Sub-factor 1: Organizational Chart

Sub-factor 2: Contractor’s License (California “A” or “B” License)

Sub-factor 3: Bonding Capacity ($3M Single Award minimum /$10M Aggregate minimum)

Sub-factor 4: Quality and Safety Overview

Sub-factor 5: Past Performance

Recent and Relevant Performance within 3 years from release of RFP

Maximum of 3 contracts for prime contractor

Multi disciplined renovation efforts for non-residential projects

B. Relative Importance or Weighting of the Factors: The relative importance or weighting of each factor is as follows: The technical proposal must meet minimum standards on a pass/fail basis. Factor 1 (Price/Cost) will be listed lowest to highest.

Factor 1- Price/Cost: The Government will evaluate all items identified in Section L Volume I (1-8). The

Government will ensure all fill-ins are complete; all Small Business documentation is in order. Each Offeror will submit a coefficient for each CLIN. All coefficients from Section B will be added and averaged to arrive at one number for evaluation purposes only. The contractor shall provide a completed Attachment 6 coefficient worksheet, which will be evaluated for realism and reasonableness. Generally, adequate price competition will satisfy the criteria for price reasonableness. All coefficients will then be ranked in order from lowest to highest.

Evaluation Process

Step 1: Perform price evaluations on all proposals and rank them from lowest to highest;

Step 2: Conduct technical evaluations beginning with the lowest priced offeror. Technical evaluations will cease when the government has identified the two lowest priced proposals which are technically acceptable. If the lowest priced Offeror is determined to be technically unacceptable, then the next lowest priced Offeror will be evaluated. This process will be repeated until the government has identified the two lowest priced technically acceptable offerors. In the event that an insufficient number of offerors are found to be technically acceptable the government reserves the right to open discussions. Only those offerors determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award;

Factor 2- Technical Capability: The Government Technical Evaluation Team shall evaluate, on a pass/fail basis the following sub-factors:

Technical proposals will be evaluated for acceptability in accordance with the Criteria and Minimum Standard of Acceptability set forth in this section. (Sub-Factors 1 through 5, inclusive).

Offerors must fulfill the MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY for each technical Sub-Factor in order to achieve a “passing” evaluation.

(1) Sub-Factor 1- Organizational Structure A. CRITERIA: Offeror must provide an organizational chart identifying all key personnel with a description of their work experience relating to projects similar in scope to those expected under SABER. Additionally, attach a document describing the organization’s program management policies, procedures, and processes.

B. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standard is met when the offeror provides:

(i) A block diagram identifying the individuals (management and supervisors) associated with the project to include:

1. Each individual’s name, title, duty, years of experience and experience level relating to projects similar in scope to those expected under SABER IAW the General

Specifications, Section 01 31 01.

(ii) A description of the organization’s program management policies and procedures to include the project planning approach, the process for information flow, reporting, and the policies and procedures for maintaining and selecting qualified staffing throughout the contract period for prime and subcontractor employees.

(2) Sub-Factor 2- Contractor’s License A. CRITERIA: Offeror must possess a current California State Contractor’s License Type “A” or “B”.

B. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standard is met when the offeror submits a copy of its current California State Contractor’s License Type “A” or “B”.

(3) Sub-Factor 3- Bonding Capacity ($3M Single Award minimum /$10M Aggregate minimum)

A. CRITERIA: Offeror must provide evidence that it is able to obtain a minimum single project bonding capacity of $3M and a minimum aggregate bonding capacity of $10M.

B. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standard of acceptability is met when the offeror submits bonding capability documents that meet the aggregate and project amounts, backed by a bonding surety with an A.M. Best company rating of ‘A’. The document must also include the surety company’s name, address, phone number, and points of contact.

(4) Sub-Factor 4- Quality and Safety Overview

A. CRITERIA: Offeror must demonstrate its ability to design and implement a Quality Control

Plan in accordance with General Specifications Section 01 45 01.

B. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: The minimum standard is met when the offeror provides a detailed narrative describing Project Management’s Quality Control and

Safety Plan in accordance with General Specifications Section 01 45 01. The narrative must include but not necessarily be limited to a description of the company’s methodology for writing and disseminating daily reports; a description of the company’s methodology in handling interim inspections, pre and final inspections and the tests required for Task Order level identified projects; a description of the company’s procedures for handling punch list items and warranty issues; and a description of the company’s procedures for review and approval of material submissions. In addition, the offeror must describe the approach for safety training, quality control, and ability to maintain qualified staffing throughout the contract period.

(5) Sub-Factor 5- Past Performance

A. CRITERIA: Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown (see below).

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

B. MINIMUM STANDARD OF ACCEPTABILITY: Offeror must provide satisfactory past performance no older than three years from the date of the solicitation where the offeror was the prime contractor and which involved work similar in scope and complexity to the work contemplated by this SABER contract. For purposes of this sub-factor, the expression

“…work similar in scope and complexity to the work contemplated by this SABER contract” means:

(i) Multi disciplined renovation efforts for non-residential projects ranging in dollar value greater than $100,000. Projects must consist of any performance on a broad range of maintenance, repair, alteration or new construction of real property, but not limited to renovation, additions, upgrades, abatement, utility work, carpentry, asbestos abatement and disposal, demolition, site work, cast-in-place structural steel, millwork, mechanical

(including HVAC), electrical, plumbing, concrete masonry, painting, and other specialty and general contracting work. Offeror must submit the following information for up to three contracts performed in the past three years where offeror was the prime contractor and which evidence the requisite past performance:

a. Contract Number

b. Date of Award

c. Period of Performance

d. Description of Work

e. Name, address, and telephone number of PCO, ACO, Program Manager

Note: The Government may also use past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the offeror.
