(b) Task order numbers will consist of the basic contract number followed by a 4-digit supplemental task order number. The task order number must be reflected on all correspondence related to the task order.

(c) The Government will not be obligated to reimburse the contractor for work performed, items delivered, or any costs incurred, nor shall the contractor be obligated to perform, deliver, or otherwise incur costs except as authorized by duly executed task orders.

(d) Task orders will be firm fixed price and clearly define the specific services to be performed or the performance desired. Each task order may contain additional, site or project specific, provisions. Any such additional provisions shall be a part of the Request for Proposal.

(e) Task order projects may be non-complex performance-oriented tasks requiring minimal design, may be complex construction requiring design development for design-build construction, or any combination thereof. Any estimated quantities provided in project documents are considered informational only. Contractors must validate quantities and all features of work necessary to deliver a complete and functional project. The task order may or may not have traditional plans and specifications but may include sketches, and requests for catalog cuts, and other submittals. The following describes the procedures for each type of requirement the task order could present:

(1) Contractor-Provided Design/Design Build: MACC Contractors shall provide an initial ‘Concept’ design consisting of drawings, sketches, outline specifications, design analysis, and/or other documentation as required by the task order Statement of Work. MACC Contractors shall also provide a price proposal and may be required to include a proposed performance period. The Government will evaluate submitted proposals in accordance with task order requirements. Only the successful offeror will be required to proceed with subsequent design effort (i.e. 35%, 65%, 95% and/or 100% as stated in each task order) and execute construction.

(2) Government-Provided Design/Design-Build: MACC Contractors shall be provided a ‘Concept’ design, consisting of drawings, sketches, outline specifications, design analysis and/or other documentation as required by the task order Statement of Work. Based on the ‘Concept’ design, MACC Contractors shall provide a price proposal and may be required to include a proposed performance period. The Government will evaluate the submitted proposals in accordance with task order requirements. Only the successful offeror will be required to proceed with subsequent design effort (i.e. 35%, 65%, 95% and/or 100% as stated in each task order) and execute construction.

(3) Construction Only: MACC Contractors shall be provided a previously accomplished design which may be representative of a 35%, 65%, 95% or 100% design consisting of drawings, specifications, design analysis and/or other documentation as required by the task order Statement of Work. Based on this completed design, MACC Contractors shall provide a price proposal and may be required to include a proposed performance period (as stated in each task order). The Government will evaluate submitted price proposals in accordance with task order requirements. Only the successful offeror will proceed with construction. The design levels stated above are defined in the basic MACC Statement of Work.

(f) Task order solicitations will provide contractors with as much information as possible regarding the existing conditions of the site and any pre-existing structures.

(g) Contractors will provide a price proposal and a proposed performance period. The Government will evaluate submitted proposals according to criteria specified in the task order request for proposal (RFP). Only the successful offeror will be required to proceed with subsequent design effort, if required, and execute construction.

(h) Task orders may be modified by the Contracting Officer. Modifications to task orders will be issued on Standard Form (SF) 30 and cite the task order number.

(i) Submission of proposals for task orders is not required. However, contractors are required to contact the Contracting Officer within two days after receipt of task order RFP if a contractor will not participate in the walk-through or submit a proposal on a task order. Failure by Offerors to participate responsibly in Site Visits and submit proposals may result in the Government not exercising the option to extend the contract or exclusion of the contractor from further competition.

H-16 COMPETITION

(a) Only contractors awarded a contract as a result of this RFP will compete for subsequent task orders. Contractors are encouraged to participate in all site visits and submit proposals. To execute fiscal year end projects, the Government may solicit offers for projects for which funds are not certified or readily available. Submission of proposals for these acquisitions is discretionary and will have no negative impact on the contractor.

Occasionally, (generally during the last quarter of the fiscal year), the Government will solicit offers for projects for which funds are not certified or readily available. Air Combat Command refers to these acquisitions as “Advance Contracting Authority (ACA)” or “Normal Straddle Bid (NSB)” projects. Under ACA, funds are not available and may not become available. The Government makes no promise to award a contract. If funds do not become available for ACA projects, the RFP is cancelled and no award is made. Under NSB, funds may be available in the current fiscal year or the next fiscal year. If a contract is not awarded in the current fiscal year, it will be awarded in the following fiscal year (see AFFARS MP5332.7, Contract Funding). Submission of proposals for these acquisitions is at the sole discretion of the respective MACC Contractors and their declination to participate in any or all such solicitations will not reflect negatively upon them. This includes projects that are in whole or in part ACA projects.

(b) Unless the Contracting Officer applies the exceptions noted below, each task order will be awarded, as a result of competition to the contractor who offers the best value to the Government considering task order evaluation criteria.

(c) The Contracting Officer reserves the right to award a task order without competition based upon a determination that:

(1) The agency need for the supplies or services are so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays;

(2) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services being ordered are unique or highly specialized;

(3) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order.

H-17 DESCRIPTION OF SUBSEQUENT TASK ORDERS

(a) Task orders projects may range from $2,000 to $15,000,000 and may require either a single discipline or multi-disciplined design services. Projects may also require comprehensive interior design, lead and asbestos abatement, and incorporation of sustainable features. Some projects may require only minimal design.

(b) Upon award the best value contractor will be awarded the seed project and all other contractors will be awarded smaller Task Order. These Task Orders will be sufficient to meet the contract minimum for each contractor. In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2) the government reserves the right to go direct sole source to any contractor awarded the MACC in order to satisfy a minimum guarantee. Past performance will be assessed at least annually and reviewed prior to decisions to exercise options.

(c) Technical narratives, if required, may address one or more of the following factors:

--Design

--The Contractor’s technical understanding of the work

--The most efficient and effective plan to accomplish the work.

--Rationale for proposed materials, type, and quantities

--Sustainable design features

H-18 SUBSEQUENT TASK ORDER EVALUATION CRITERIA

Subsequent task orders may be awarded on best value, either tradeoff process or low price, low price technically acceptable, or low bid price. If the Government decides to issue the task order as a best value using the tradeoff process, award factors will vary depending on the unique requirements of each task order. In addition to price or cost, one or more of the following criteria may be considered:

(a) Past Performance – task order past performance or prior past performance on other contracts

(b) Quality of Deliverables

(c) Ability to meet schedule requirements

(d) Relevant experience

(e) Cost control

(f) Potential impact on other orders placed with the contractor

(g) Current workload

(h) Design

(i) The Contractor’s technical understanding of the work

(j) The most efficient and effective plan to accomplish the work

(k) Rationale for proposed materials, type, and quantities

(l) Sustainable design features

H-19

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Any Task Order that is determined to need liquidated damages will be assessed on each task order.

The first step will be for all proposals to be evaluated for technical acceptability. The second step will list all technically acceptable proposals by price, lowest to highest. The third step will evaluate the past performance starting with the top of list and keep evaluating proposals until five proposals have a substantial confidence or satisfactory confidence rating. The SSA will then do an integrated Best Value assessment of the evaluated offerors. If after evaluation of all offers has been completed and if less than three have been judged to have substantial confidence or satisfacory confidence assement rating the SSA shall make and integrated best value award determination.

Basis for 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, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. All technically acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

A. Technical Acceptability. The government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable. The proposals shall be evaluated against the following subfactors:

1) Thirty-five Percent (35%) Design

The standard is met when the proposal:

a. Meets the 35% design definition as stated in the statement of work for the MACC.

b. Includes the Original and three copies of drawings along with three CD copies, design analysis, outline specification(s) and cost estimate.

c. Drawings show 35% progress in all disciplines which include, main elements of work in the seed project statement of work.

(2) Drawings

a. Submits drawings 24" X 36".

b. Includes all drawings identified in the Seed Project.

c. Documents the work required by the Government statement of work for the seed project.

(3) Design Calculations

a. Submits a list of all engineering assumptions with the 35% design for:

1) Primary structural components as required;

2) Heating and ventilating loads and system performance requirements;

3) Short circuit calculations;

4) Sizing for electrical lighting panel;

5) Arc flash requirements;

6) Fire protection (single line/calculations);

7) Fire suppression (sprinkler layout/pipe sizing/hydraulic calculations)

b. Provides design criteria on drawings.

(4) AF Form 3052 Completion

a. Provides the Bid schedule in the Seed Project

b. Provides AF Form 3052, Construction Cost Estimate Breakdown.

(5) Confirmation of bonding capacity (minimum $10M per project, $20M aggregate) from bonding surety.

B. Price Evaluation. The government will list all technically acceptable proposals by price, lowest to highest. The price evaluation will document the reasonableness and affordability of the proposed total evaluated price.

C. Past Performance Evaluation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the efforts described in this RFP based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance:

1. The Government past performance team will accomplish the past performance evaluation, assigning a performance confidence assessment rating to the offeror’s proposal based on the performance ratings of recent and relevant efforts.

2 The past performance team will seek relevant performance information from: (1) the references provided by the offeror; (2) Past Performance Questionnaires received from the points of contact provided in the past performance information sheets and/or other points of contact identified by the Government that are past or current customers; (3) data independently obtained from Government and commercial sources. The past performance evaluation will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel or major subcontractors. However, past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant and recent experience, or subcontractors that will perform major aspects of the requirement will not be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror.

2.1. Recency - ongoing contracts with a performance history, and contracts completed within three (3) years from the issue date of this solicitation.

2.2. Relevant performance (Table 1) - Relevant projects include a demonstrated record of successful design/build, build, and completion of multi-discipline projects; construction contracts with an estimated range valued between $500,000 and $15M that are similar in scope, magnitude, trade, complexity and contract type of those required under the solicitation, including the specifications and drawings, contract environment, subcontractor interaction, and price.

2.3. Performance. Performance information may be obtained from the references on each project package submitted. The Government may also obtain performance data from other sources.

2.4. In addition to evaluating the extent to which the offeror’s performance meets basic contract

Statement of Work (SOW) and technical requirements, the assessment may consider things such as: (1) History of completing efforts involving repair, sustainment, renovation and/or construction of facilities, valued in excess of $5,000,000; (2) Management Effectiveness; (3) Quality of Service and Workmanship; (4) Timeliness/Adherence to Schedules; (5) Quality Control; (6) Customer Satisfaction (7) Compliance with Environmental/Labor/Safety.

2.5. When relevant performance information indicates performance problems, the Government will consider the number and severity of the problems, and the appropriateness and effectiveness of any corrective actions taken (not just planned or promised). The Government may review more recent contracts or performance evaluations to ensure corrective actions have been implemented, and to evaluate their effectiveness.

3. Joint Ventures. In a joint venture, past performance for both businesses will be evaluated equally. Joint ventures will be verified with the Small Business Administration (SBA) prior to award.

4. Teaming Arrangements. Teaming Arrangements are characterized by two or more business entities that are working together under the representation of one of the existing business entities for the duration of the contract. A teaming arrangement is not a formal merger of two or more business entities. The Government recognizes the validity and integrity of teaming arrangements as detailed in FAR Subpart 9.6. All offerors are encouraged to review FAR Subpart 9.6, to acquaint themselves with its details. Since the Government can only determine the responsibility of the prime contractor, per FAR 9.604(b), in accordance with FAR 9.1, Responsible Prospective Contractors, offerors must identify in their offer any teaming arrangement to be considered and completely identify the relationships/responsibilities of the teaming members.

5. The past performance team will integrate the recency, relevancy and performance on all the efforts evaluated for the offeror; the integration will result in a performance confidence assessment of (“Substantial Confidence”, “Satisfactory Confidence”, “Limited Confidence”, “No Confidence” or “Unknown Confidence”) as defined below. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom past performance information is not available, or when a past performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror shall receive an assessment of “Unknown Confidence”, meaning the assessment is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably on past performance.

TABLE 2 - PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

NO

CONFIDENCE

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

6. The SSA will do an integrated Best Value assessment of the evaluated offerors and award to a minimum of three (3) offerors and up to five (5) offerors.

D. Other Considerations. 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 information, 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. Clarifications conducted to resolve relevance of the past performance information, adverse past performance information or minor clerical errors will not constitute discussions.

1. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. Therefore each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best price and past performance reference list. The Government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
