SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS

L-1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 General Instructions.

1.1. This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals, as wells as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Throughout this section, the term “offeror” means the prime contractor submitting the proposal. The offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by this Section L and must be submitted in accordance with (IAW) 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 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. Offerors are cautioned that the Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure inconsistencies or discrepancies identified in the offeror’s proposal.

1.2. The offeror’s proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail to support for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements; rather, the proposal shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal. Offerors are also advised that each offeror’s proposal represents the offeror’s best efforts and most complete responses to the RFP. Offerors are cautioned to thoroughly consider all potential costs, risks, economic trends and the proposal environment when developing proposed coefficients. Contract coefficients will remain fixed for the life of the resulting contract and no allowances will be made after award.

1.3. IAW FAR Subpart 4.8, the Government will retain one (1) copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

2.0 Type of Acquisition.

This acquisition is a competitive 8(a) small business set-aside limited to contractors possessing a California General Contractor’s License (Type A, General Engineering Contractor, and/or Type B, General Building Contractor) with a Small Business Administration (SBA) bona-fide place of business in the state of California.

For this acquisition, selection of the best value offeror(s) will be made using Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures. This solicitation will result in the award of three (3) Firm- Fixed-Price (FFP), Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Proposals may only be submitted by Small Business Certified 8(a) Small Business firms listed under the 236220 North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS).

3.0 Construction Magnitude.

The total contract value, regardless of the number of contracts awarded for this acquisition is not to exceed the programmed ceiling amount of $60,000,000.00. The estimated magnitude of the task orders will vary between task orders and will be identified on each task order request. Task orders will range in value from $2,000.00 to $5,000,000.00.

4.0 Discrepancies and Ambiguities.

If an offeror believes the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, ambiguity, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer (CO) in writing with supporting rationale No Later Than (NLT) seven (7) calendar days after the RFP release date. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussions.

5.0 Mistakes.

Mistakes in an offeror’s proposal shall be handled IAW FAR 14.407-4 as referenced in FAR 15.508.

6.0 Exchanges With Offerors After Receipt of Proposals.

6.1. Award without discussions.

IAW FAR 15.306(a), offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of the proposal or resolve minor or clerical errors. Clarifications shall be documented on, and conducted via transmittal of, Evaluation Notices (EN) to the applicable offeror. Each EN shall clearly indicate that the type of exchange being conducted is “Clarification”.

6.2. Communications with offerors before establishment of the Competitive Range.

After the decision to conduct discussions has been made and prior to establishment of the Competitive Range, the CO may enter into limited “Communications” with offerors only as described in FAR 15.306(b).

Communications shall be documented on, and conducted via transmittal of, ENs to the applicable offeror. Each EN shall clearly indicated that the type of exchange being conducted is “Communications”.

6.3. Competitive Range.

If discussions are to be conducted, the CO shall establish the Competitive Range comprised of all the most highly rated proposals based on the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation criteria, unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency. IAW FAR 15.306(c), the CO 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. IAW FAR 15.503(a)(1), the CO shall provide written notification to unsuccessful offerors of exclusion from the Competitive Range and/or elimination from the competition.

6.4. Exchanges with offerors after establishment of the Competitive Range.

Discussions, negotiations in a competitive acquisition, are tailored to each offeror’s proposal and will be conducted by the CO with every offeror within the Competitive Range. At a minimum, during discussions, the CO shall indicate to, or discuss with, each offeror in the Competitive Range any deficiencies or significant weaknesses that have been identified during the evaluation. Discussions shall be documented on, and conducted via transmittal of, ENs to the applicable offeror. Each EN shall clearly indicate that the type of exchange being conducted is “Discussions”.

6.5. Discussions.

The Government intends to award without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary. If discussions or requests for revised proposals conducted or requested by the Government, the coefficient prices identified in Schedule B of the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) shall be valid through the proposal acceptance period stated in the request for FPR.

7.0 Amendment of Solicitation Prior to Closing Date.

Changes will be communicated by amendment(s) to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website (www.fbo.gov). If such amendments require material changes in quantities or prices, the proposal due time/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 proposal due time/date. Each offeror is required to acknowledge all solicitation amendments in its proposal, or by written notification which includes a reference to the solicitation and amendment numbers.

8.0 Electronic Reference Documents.

All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the FedBizOpps website. Potential Offerors are encouraged to subscribe to the FedBizOpps notice via the “Watch This Opportunity” radio button in order to receive real-time notice updates via email notification from FedBizOpps.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

BASIS FOR AWARD

M-1 SOURCE SELECTION

1.0 Basis for Contract Award.

1.1. This acquisition is being conducted as a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS), DoD Source Selection Procedures Appendix C, and AFFARS Mandatory Procedures (MP) 5315.3. These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force FARSite, http://farsite.hill.af.mil or http://acquisition.gov/far. The Government will select the proposal(s) with the lowest total evaluated price from among those rated as “technically acceptable” for all sub-factors of the Technical Factor. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable.

1.2. Contracts may be awarded to the offerors who are determined to be responsible IAW FAR Subpart 9.1, as supplemented, and are determined eligible by the Small Business Administration (SBA) IAW FAR 19.8, whose proposals conform 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 are judged, based on the evaluation factors and sub-factors, to represent the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) proposal.

While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

2.0 Number of Contracts to be Awarded

The Government intends to award three (3) Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for the Simplified Acquisition Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) Program.

3.0 Solicitation Requirements, Terms and Conditions

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or sub-factors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being determined ineligible for contract award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable.

4.0 Evaluation Process

The evaluation process to be used is as follows:

http://farsite.hill.af.mil/ http://acquisition.gov/far

Step 1. Perform compliance review on all proposals to assess compliance with terms and conditions of the solicitation. Non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

Step 2. Perform price evaluations on all proposals not eliminated from consideration in Step 1 and rank them from lowest to highest based on their Total Evaluated Price.

Step 3. Conduct technical evaluations beginning with the lowest priced offeror. 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 three lowest priced technically acceptable offerors. 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.

Step 4. Perform a responsibility determination on the three (3) lowest priced technically acceptable offerors. In order to be determined a responsible, an offeror must meet the following conditions:

• Offeror must meet the standards identified in FAR 9.104-1;

• Offeror must possess an active California General Contractor’s License, “Class A” or “Class B”, registered in the prime contractor’s name;

• Offeror must provide evidence that it is able to obtain a minimum single project bonding capacity of $3M and an aggregate bonding capacity of $10M from an approved surety listed in the Department of the Treasury Circular 570 (http://www.fms.treas.gov/c570/) or other security permitted by FAR Subpart 28.2, unless prohibited by law or regulation.

If one or more of the three technically acceptable offerors are determined non-responsible, the government will resume technical evaluations as detailed in Step 3. Technical evaluations will continue until the Government identifies the three (3) Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) responsible offerors.

Following the completion of Steps 3 and 4; the Contracting Officer, with the approval of the Source Selection Authority (SSA), will determine if it is in the Government’s best interest to open discussions. If the determination is made to open discussions, the Government will conduct discussions with all offerors included in the Competitive Range. 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. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. The Government also reserves the right to perform both price and technical evaluations on non-responsive Offerors to determine if it is in the Government’s best interest to open discussions. Only those Offerors determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award.

M-2 EVALUATION FACTORS AND SUBFACTORS

1.0 Evaluation of Proposals

The following evaluation factors and sub-factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. The Government will evaluate proposals for technical acceptability, but will not rank the proposals by non-price factors or sub-factors.

Factor 1: Price Factor 2: Technical Sub-factor 1: Program Management Plan Sub-factor 2: Quality Control Plan Sub-factor 3: Demonstration Project

2.0 Evaluation Factors and Standards

2.1. Factor 1 - Price Factor

The offeror’s Price proposal will be evaluated by reviewing the proposed coefficients for each year (base and four options). For evaluation purposes the price proposals will be calculated by adding CLIN’s 0001 thru 4001.

http://www.fms.treas.gov/c570/

The sum of coefficients will be averaged, and evaluated for reasonableness. This average of the coefficients will be the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) and offerors will be ranked from lowest TEP to highest.

The offeror's Price Proposal will be evaluated, using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404(b), in order to determine if it is reasonable. For a price to be determined reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404. For additional information see FAR 31.201-3.

2.2. Factor 2 - Technical Factor

The Government’s technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis, assigning one of the ratings described below for each sub-factor. Any sub-factor evaluated as “Unacceptable” will render the entire proposal unacceptable and, therefore, not eligible for award.

Only those proposals determined to be “technically acceptable”, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. However, the offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussions.
