SECTION L

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS:

NOTE: Notice to Offerors: Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an Offeror for any costs.

L-1. PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVE

The Government intends to award a minimum of 4 contracts for the Holloman AFB Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) program. The Government intends to award without discussions, however, reserves the right to enter discussions. THIS SOLICITATION IS 100% SET ASIDE FOR SMALL BUSINESS.

Award will be made on the basis of “best value” utilizing LOWEST PRICE/TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE source selection procedures with technical factors and past performance. It is the intent of the Government to award contracts to contractors that provide the “best value” to the Government over the entire period of performance. Each of the awarded contracts will be for five (5) year program period.

L-2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This section of the Instructions to Offerors (ITO) provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by the ITO and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Any Offeror who submits an incomplete package may be considered ineligible for award. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in the ITO may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

2. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather 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.

3. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

4. Pre-Proposal Conference: A pre-proposal conference will be held on 29 August 2018 at 10:00am.

Contractors shall meet at Holloman AFB main gate no later than 15 minutes prior to pre-proposal conference. All prospective Offerors are highly encouraged to attend this conference—note: limited to four people per Offeror. In order to make the conference as productive as possible, Offerors should submit, any questions they may have in writing to Gregory Howard at gregory.howard.9@us.af.mil or Anthony Overbay at anthony.overbay.1@us.af.mil no later than 2:30pm MT on 6 September 2018. Responses to questions mailto:gregory.howard.9@us.af.mil asked during the conference shall be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) web site at http://www.fbo.gov. Prospective Offerors are advised that the pre- proposal conference will be held solely for the purpose of explaining the concepts involved in the demonstration Project and the specifications, terms, and conditions of this solicitation. NOTE: Questions and Answers will be limited to no more than one round before and one round after the site visit. Offerors are encouraged to submit all questions and requests for clarifications no later than 6 September 2018. The decision whether to respond to questions and requests for clarification shall be at the sole discretion of the contracting officer. Failure of a prospective Offeror to submit any questions or attend the conference will mean that the prospective Offeror fully understands all requirements of the solicitation.

5. Proposal validity period: Prospective Offerors will price their proposals in such a way as to allow the

Government a minimum of 120 calendar days from the proposal due date in which to make a contract award. The Offeror shall make a clear statement in the proposal documentation volume that the proposal is valid until this date.

6. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. All extra copies will be destroyed when no longer needed.

L-7. Factor 3: Past Performance: (Page limitation: unlimited)

1. Format and Limitations:

a. One (1) Electronic Copy

b. Page Limitation: 4 pages per PPIS (Past Performance Information Sheet)

2. Your response will be evaluated against the Past Performance factor defined in Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award.

a) Past Performance Information Sheet (PPIS):

i. Each Offeror shall submit a past performance volume with its proposal, containing past performance information in accordance with the format contained in the PPIS (See Attachments). Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each Offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance. All past performance information shall be evaluated in accordance with the Past Performance factor as defined in Section M, Evaluation Criteria.

ii. Offerors shall submit information on at least three (3) but no more than six (6) contracts considered most RELEVANT in demonstrating performance abilities on the proposed effort. Also, Offerors shall include information, if applicable, on up to three (3) recent contracts performed by each joint venture partner considered most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. Please refer to the Past Performance factor in Section M, Evaluation Criteria for definitions of what is considered “recent” and what is considered “relevant”. Each PPIS shall not exceed 4 pages. Offerors shall include rationale supporting the assertion of relevance. Offerors who submit less than the preferred number of PPIS forms requested are not automatically assigned an “Unknown Confidence” rating. Fewer numbers may be acceptable if the Government determines there is sufficient information to determine a confidence rating.

b) Consent and Client Authorization Letter: The Offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a Consent Letter (See Attachments), executed by each joint venture partner (if applicable), authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the Offeror so the Offerors can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a Client Authorization Letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror’s performance.

c) Early Proposal Information: Each Offeror is requested to submit the past performance volume with past performance information for each relevant/recent contract at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the solicitation closing date. Failure to submit proposal information early will not result in Offeror disqualification.

d) Past Performance Questionnaire: Questionnaires will not be used in this LPTA evaluation process.

e) Specific Content: Offerors shall provide a narrative explaining what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the Offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to an unacceptable rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an Offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The offeror shall clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an offeror has overcome past problems is required.

f) Organizational Structure Change History: Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. These changes may have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between the conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevance determination, Offerors shall include a "roadmap" describing any/all such changes in their organization. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts identified for past performance evaluation/ performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the Offeror(s), the "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts identified, yet general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other source.

L-8. EXCEPTIONS TO SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS: Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Each exception shall be specifically related to each paragraph and/or specific part of the solicitation to which the exception is taken. Provide rationale in support of the exception and fully explain its impact, if any, on the performance, schedule, cost, and specific requirements of the solicitation. This information shall be provided in the format and content of Table 1. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Offeror being removed from consideration for award.

The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low in cost when compared to Government estimates and comparison to competitor’s cost proposals, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program or failure to understand the requirements of the project.

4. While the Government source selection evaluation team and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective and, therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Offerors should not assume they will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to qualify, discuss or revise their proposals. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

M-2. NUMBER OF CONTRACTS TO BE AWARDED: The Government intends to award a minimum of four (4) contracts for the Holloman Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC).

M-3. CORRECTION POTENTIAL OF PROPOSALS: The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the “correction potential” of any deficiency. The judgment of such “correction potential” is within the sole discretion of the Government. If an aspect of an offeror’s proposal not meeting the Government’s requirements is not considered correctable, the offeror may be eliminated from the competition.

M-4. EVALUATION: Price will be evaluated using techniques established in FAR 15.404-1 to ensure the Government receives a fair, reasonable and balanced price. For efficiency purposes, the Government will evaluate a minimum of the 4 lowest priced offerors for technical acceptability and past performance acceptability. Should the lowest priced offerors not receive an acceptable technical and past performance rating, the process will continue in order of price until at least six offerors with acceptable technical and past performance rating are identified. If two or less proposals are received, the Government may proceed with evaluating only those proposals. The Government may determine an offer unacceptable if the proposed prices are materially unbalanced, which is defined as significantly understated or overstated in relation to the actual cost of the item or when the price is determined not to be fair and reasonable.

5. Evaluation Factors: Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror with acceptable past performance. This will be determined based upon evaluation of the following factors:

a. Price

b. Technical (with sub factors – see below)

c. Past Performance

Factor 1 - Price:

a. Initially, the Government shall rank offers according to their proposed price for the demonstration project, from lowest to highest price. The Government will calculate a “Total Evaluated Price” (TEP) as follows:

The TEP to the Government will be calculated for each offeror by adding the design and construction price provided on Project Bid Schedule. This TEP will determine the “Lowest Price” portion of the LPTA evaluation.

Bond and New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax will NOT be included in this calculation.

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, there is adequate price competition, no additional price information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required.

c. If at any time during the evaluation the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist, offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price. If requested, this cost data may require certification.

Factor 2 – Technical Acceptability:

a. Technically Acceptable/Past Performance: The evaluation team will evaluate a minimum of four (4) of the lowest priced proposals for technical acceptability and acceptable past performance. The basis for acceptable/unacceptable is established in the criteria below.

b. The government technical evaluation team will evaluate technical proposals on a acceptable/unacceptable basis, and assign one of the ratings described below based on the criteria listed.

Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

c. In assigning the ratings above, the government technical evaluation team will evaluate the following technical sub factors:

1) Construction Management & Capability

2) Demonstration Project Proposal

i) Sub-Factor 1: Construction Management & Capability. To clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation, the proposal must demonstrate that the offeror possesses all of the following:

1) Financial capacity, bonding, and business relationships to successfully perform two simultaneous construction projects with a combined value of $11.5M. The proposal must demonstrate access to cash and/or lines of credit totaling at least $100,000.00. The proposal must demonstrate a minimum bonding capacity of $5.75M per project/$11.5M aggregate. Also the proposal must demonstrate an established relationship with a design (A-E) firm, a construction equipment supplier, a construction material supplier and an independent testing lab for construction materials. Relationships may be demonstrated by a letter from each entity signed by a vice president or higher;

2) Capability to perform using a design/build approach. This may be demonstrated by describing a design/build construction project that you successfully performed as prime contractor within the last 3 years;

3) Capability to perform at least two or more construction disciplines under NAICS code 236220, such as construction, alteration or repair of roads, buildings, structures, utilities, plumbing, roofing, paving, grading, excavating, or demolition;.

4) A staffing plan that identifies program management, engineering, skilled labor and other necessary expertise who meet the minimum experience and qualifications in the table below, and describes how these personnel can successfully perform two or more simultaneous construction projects on Holloman AFB:

Minimum Qualifications to be technically acceptable in this area:

Qty # Years Experience Qualifications

5) An established, systematic approach for managing the contract to include cost, schedule and quality management, procurement management, safety management, environmental management, and logistics management.

6) Capability to perform construction on or near a U.S. Air Force airfield, including airfield access requirements and airfield operations; or, the proposal must clearly state the offeror’s acknowledgement of the critical nature of this criteria and include a risk mitigation plan that identifies a senior company official, by name, who will be responsible for implementation and oversight of this risk area.

7) An established, systematic approach for mobilizing and managing a project schedule to minimize delays, including knowledge of Holloman AFB visitor access requirements and background investigations to ensure timely availability of contractor personnel, craftsmen and laborers; or, the proposal must clearly state the offeror’s acknowledgement of the critical nature of this criteria and include a risk mitigation plan that identifies a senior company official , by name, as responsible for implementation and oversight of this risk area.

8) An established, systematic approach to project estimating/bidding that identifies areas of cost risk and effectively manages or mitigates that risk to minimize requirements creep and scope/cost growth resulting from change orders, requests for equitable adjustment, and claims.

9) A two-page (maximum) narrative describing the contractor’s overall Quality Control approach to the basic IDIQ MACC and how it will be applied to individual projects; narrative includes the method and frequency of inspections, names, qualifications and experience of QA personnel, scope of their responsibilities and authority, and clearly states that QA personnel are separate and distinct from, and are not supervised by, on site project management or superintendent personnel; narrative clearly describes how the QA approach will be utilized to mitigate risks related to projects on or near the airfield.

ii) Sub-Factor 2: Demonstration Project Proposal. To clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation, the proposal must include the following:

(1) Design: a 65% design that:

• Demonstrates understanding of and accounts for all the required elements listed in Attachment #1, MACC Statement of Work and Attachment# 10, Demonstration Project

Statement of Work;

• Is free of major errors or omissions;

• The following table/definitions will be used verify the design is a 65% design:

Phases of Design Reviews (Conceptual) (Materials) (Final) (Stamped)

35% 65% 95% 100%

Purpose

Stamped by contractor's design associates

Design Analysis Initial Full Updated from the 65% milestone

(2). Project Management: Includes a plan that:

• Describes how the contractor will manage the overall project schedule through both the design phase and the construction phase, and how the contractor will communicate/interface with the Government to ensure the Government’s concerns are addressed.

• Clearly identifies members of the design-build team by their title, to include major subcontractors, describes the roles of each in the execution of the project, and is in consonance with the management approach and staffing plan provided under sub factor 1.

• Demonstrates executable performance time for both the design and construction phases and appropriately charts the schedule on Attachment #11, AF Form 3064, Progress Schedule, and AF Form 66, Schedule of Material Submittals. The AF Form 3064 properly assigns percentages to work performed in all divisions required in the execution of the project, and accounts for long lead items, design time, Government submittal review time, and final inspection and punch list corrections within the performance period specified in the Demonstration Project SOW. The AF Form 66 is populated with appropriate items for submittal.

(3). Estimating Capability: Includes a filled out AF Form 3052, Construction Cost Estimate Breakdown, for the Demonstration Project that:

• Demonstrates the offeror’s capability to estimate project requirements and material quantities accurately.

• Breaks out Direct Material quantities, Direct Labor types and hours, Other Direct quantities/hours, and explains the estimating methodologies/tools used in sufficient detail that the Government evaluation team can clearly determine the following:

o Proposed materials and labor reflect a clear understanding of the requirement o Proposed materials and labor account for all major elements of work o And are not inconsistent with the offeror’s technical approach

Note: The offeror is responsible for obtaining any forms required for evaluation, whether or not they are provided as an attachment to the solicitation.

Note: To be found “technically acceptable” overall, a proposal must be found to be acceptable for BOTH technical sub factors described above.

Factor 3 – Past Performance:

a. Evaluation Process - The Past Performance evaluation considers the offeror’s demonstrated record of performance in providing construction services that meet the customer’s needs.

Performance confidence is assessed at the overall Past Performance factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance on individual projects, focusing on performance that is relevant to the

MACC.

b. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance proposal volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and commercial sources.

c. Joint venture partners’ past performance shall be part of the aggregate performance evaluation. Past performance of other teaming partners or subcontractors shall not be considered.

d. Recency Assessment - An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must have been completed or performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Efforts that have not yet been completed shall have had at least six (6) months of performance prior to the date of issuance of this solicitation.
