SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

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” means the prime contractor submitting the proposal. 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 woman-owned small business set-aside. For this acquisition, selection of the best value offeror(s) will be made using Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures with the technical factors evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis.

C. Construction Wage Rate Requirements: The Construction Wage Requirements Statute Wage

Determination included in Section J is incorporated for reference only. Prior to award, the most current wage determination will be incorporated into the award document. Offerors should consider any potential increases to the wage determination during the proposal acceptance period (SF 1442 Block 13 D) when preparing their pricing. No adjustments to proposal prices will be allowed as a result of increases in the wage determination unless the

Government opens discussions.

D. Discrepancies and Ambiguities: If an offeror believes 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.

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

F. 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.

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

Government, the prices identified in Schedule B shall be valid through the proposal acceptance period (SF 1442

Block 13 D).

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. Points of Contact (POC): The POC for this acquisition is CO, Jeffrey Grelck, and the Contracting

Specialist (CS), Donna Neri. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the CO/CS. Address any questions or concerns to them using the following contact information:

L-1 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

The proposal package must be completed and returned to the address in Block 7 of the SF 1442 attention Jeffrey

Grelck, prior to the time set for closing of proposals, see Block 13A of the SF 1442.

A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Proposals must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation.

Alternate proposals will not be accepted. The response shall consist of two (2) separate volumes; Volume I –

Executed Contract Documentation and Price Proposal, Volume II – Technical Proposal.

B. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. 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.

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

1. USE OF USPS, UPS, FedEx or any other 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. Distributed material will be identified as source selection sensitive and distribution will be strictly limited to appropriate personnel, and shall be encrypted per AFFARS MP 5315.3 paragraph 1.4.2.2.3. Should any contractor object to their proprietary information being shared between source selection evaluators and advisors via commercial email as described above, please advise the either of the Contracting Specialists or the Contracting Officer using the contact information above.

2. HAND-CARRIED PROPOSALS NOTICE: Offerors are cautioned that Vandenberg AFB (VAFB) has stringent visitor control procedures requiring individuals not affiliated with the installation to obtain a visitor pass and be cleared by the Government point of contact to be visited prior to entrance. A request with at least 3 business days to entry must be received for an offeror to gain entrance onto VAFB. If within 3 business days prior to the proposal due date and time, offerors may try and schedule a time with the points of contact to pick up the proposal at the Visitor Center. It is possible the point of contact may not be available to clear offerors for entrance or pick up proposals, which may prohibit submission of hand-carried proposals; consequently, offerors electing to hand-carry their proposals for submittal just prior to closing time do so at their own risk.

3. The proposals will be on 8 1/2” x 11” paper, white or ivory stock. Charts, tables or diagrams may not exceed 11” x 17”.

4. A page is defined as one face of a sheet of paper containing information. This includes all appendices, charts, graphs, diagrams, tables, photographs, etc, unless placed on 11” x 17” sheets, in which case they will be counted as two pages. Covers for volumes, tables of contents, indices, title pages, cross reference indices, and section dividers/tables will not be included in the page count if they are inserted solely to provide ease to the reader in locating volumes/sections of the proposal. They will be counted if they contain mailto:Jeffrey.Grelck@us.af.mil mailto:donna.neri.1@us.af.mil any other information, (e.g. diagrams, extraneous data, etc). Pages marked “This page intentionally left blank” will not be counted.

5. Type face shall not be less than 12 font, with 1” margins on all sides. Smaller, legible font size, no smaller than 6 point, may be used for charts and tables.

6. Elaborate formats, bindings, binders, or color presentations are not desired or required. Company Name and solicitation number shall be included in the header of each page. Each binder will be labeled with the following format: FA4610-18-R-0017, COMPANY NAME, Volume I Executed Contract Documentation and Price Proposal; or Volume II Technical Proposal.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M-1 SOURCE SELECTION

A. Basis for Contract Award

This is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 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 A, and Air Force Mandatory Procedures 5315.3.

These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FARSite, http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The

Government will select the proposal with the lowest evaluated price from among those meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. Contract(s) may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Subpart 9.1, 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 sub-factors, to represent the lowest price technically acceptable proposal. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective; and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

B. Number of Contracts to be Awarded

The Government intends to award one contract in response to this solicitation.

C. Discussions

The Government intends to award without discussions; therefore, offerors should submit proposals that represent their best efforts. If, during the evaluations, it is determined in the best interest of the Government, the PCO may enter into discussions. A competitive range will be established and Evaluation Notices (ENs) if required, will be transmitted to offerors within the competitive range. Final proposal revisions will then be requested from those offerors and 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 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.

D. 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 ineligible for award.

Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide http://farsite.hill.af.mil/ complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable.

E. Evaluation Process

The evaluation process to be used is as follows:

Step 1: Perform price evaluations on all responsive proposals and rank them from lowest to highest; Step 2:

Conduct technical evaluations beginning with the lowest priced responsive proposal. If the lowest priced responsive proposal is determined to be technically unacceptable, then the next lowest priced responsive proposal will be evaluated. Technical evaluations will continue until the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal is identified. The Government, at its discretion, may continue technical evaluations until the

Contracting Officer determines that a sufficient number of technically acceptable proposals have been identified to permit determination of price fair and reasonable based on adequate price competition.

The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. The Government reserves the right to perform both price and technical evaluations on non-responsive offerors to determine if it is in its 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

A. Evaluation Factors and Sub-factors

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

Factor 1: Price

Factor 2: Technical

Sub-factor 1: Technical and Management Capabilities

Sub-factor 2: Proposed Schedule

B. Price Factor

Offerors whose price is determined to be unreasonable or unbalanced will not be considered for award.

(1) The offeror’s Price proposal will be evaluated by reviewing the overall proposed price proposed by the

Offeror in Section B. The evaluated price must be determined “reasonable.” Proposals will then be ranked from lowest overall price to highest.

C. Technical Factor

For the purposes of technical evaluation, the term “offeror” will include any proposed teaming arrangements. 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 discussion.

TABLE 1 - TECHNICAL RATINGS

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

The proposals shall be evaluated against the following technical sub-factors:

Sub-factor 1: Technical and Management Capabilities

Description: This sub-factor evaluates the offeror's management approaches to risk management, logistics, mobilization, safety, quality control, and resolution of potential issues and challenges; and the offeror's construction approaches to the construction effort.

Standard: This requirement is met when the offeror’s proposal provides an effective approach to include:

(Factor must be met at time of proposal submission)

A narrative detailing:

1. A management approach that demonstrates a reasonable and effective approach to accomplish the requirements identified in the Statement of Work to include: risk management, logistics, mobilization, safety, quality control and resolution of potential issues and challenges.

2. A construction approach that provides evidence of a thorough understanding of the construction effort required as detailed in the Statement of Work.

Sub-factor 2: Proposed Schedule

Description: This sub-factor evaluates the schedule proposed by the offeror.

Standard: This requirement is met when the offeror submits a schedule that captures all SOW requirements, execution timelines and critical path items. The schedule must demonstrate coordination of the work activities, phasing, and potential weather considerations.
