1.13 The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Therefore, only a limited amount of pricing information is required in the initial proposals. Upon examination of the initial proposals (offers), the contracting officer will review this determination. If, in the contracting officer's opinion, there is adequate price competition, no additional price information, except for final proposal revisions, will be elicited 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 prepare, submit, and certify cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4.

They will be counted if they contain any other information, i.e., diagrams, extraneous data, etc. Pages marked “This page intentionally left blank” will not be counted.

• A page shall be an 8 ½ x11” sheet of paper (minimum of ½” margins). Foldouts will be counted as the appropriate number of pages based on an 8 ½ x 11” sheet of paper. The Offerors shall number each page in order to eliminate any confusion. In the event an offeror creates an ambiguity, the Government may exercise its own discretion in counting pages. Two pages may be printed on one sheet of paper, but will count as 2 pages.

• Offerors are encouraged to number proposal paragraphs consistent with the instructions and measures of merit contained in Section M.

• Additionally, electronic copies of the required proposal information for each volume shall be submitted on CD ROM using Microsoft Word.

2.3 FACTOR 2 PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME II

(Past Performance Volume is due by 9 Apr 2009)

2.3.1 Contents of Past Performance Volume: The offeror shall submit a Past and Present Performance Volume containing the following:

• Table of Contents

• Summary Page describing the role of the offeror and each major subcontractor , teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Information Sheets on in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2. below.

• Past Performance Information Sheets in accordance with Attachment 9, in Section J. Past Performance Information and Past/Performance Questionnaire—See paragraph 2.3.6. below.

• Organization Structure Change History—See paragraph 2.3.5. below.

2.3.2 Past Performance Information Sheets: Submit information on contracts you consider most relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. Each relevant contract shall have been performed during the past 3 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. The offeror shall submit Past Performance Information sheets in accordance with the format contained in Attachment 9, Section J, Past Performance Information. The offeror shall provide experience data for itself and for any proposed division, major subcontractor, consultant, or teaming contractor or partner or key personnel whose effort on this contract will significantly influence performance of the proposed construction and/or design-build effort. The offeror shall submit three (3) to five (5) Past Performance Information sheets identifying active or completed contracts, either Government or commercial, for each prime, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner (within the same division or cost center). 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 and present performance.

2.3.3 Relevant Contracts: Relevant past performance information must demonstrate design/build and build experience with multiple projects, such as new construction, renovation, alteration and repair, with associated architectural and engineering work, with multiple disciplines, such as airfield, pavement, renovation, repair, additions/upgrades, along with specific work in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical, mechanical and other major trades. Projects should be similar in size, scope, and complexity as those anticipated under this contract, i.e., having a project value between $500,000 and $5,000,000 and include projects with the Federal Government, state and local government agencies, and commercial customers.

Submit information on contracts that you consider relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. Provide data for three (3) to five (5) relevant contracts held within the last three years for each entity the offeror wants the Government to consider. Performance Information Sheets for each contract is limited to 3 pages. Include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance. Note that the Government will not consider performance on an effort that concluded more than 3 years prior to the issuance date of this solicitation. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. To clearly link the past performance information to the mission capability subfactors, the offeror should identify which contracts are relevant indicators of performance against a mission capability subfactor.

Categorize the relevance information into the specific evaluation subfactor(s) used to evaluate the proposal:

Subfactor 1 - Organizational Structure Subfactor 2 - Technical Capability/Execution and Completeness of the Seed Project Subfactor 3 - Change and Cost Control Management Subfactor 4 - Quality Control

2.3.4 Specific Content: Offerors 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 a Little Confidence or No Confidence 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 is required to 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 Substantial Confidence or Satisfactory 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.

2.3.5 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. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between 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 relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

2.3.6 Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaires: The offeror shall send out Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaires to each of the Points of Contact (POCs) identified in the Past Performance Volume. In turn, the evaluating agencies shall submit the completed questionnaire to Mr. Jeremy Starrett at 6th Contracting Squadron, 2606 Brown Pelican Ave, MacDill AFB FL 33621-5000, Fax (813) 828- 1091, Email: jeremy.starrett@macdill.af.mil. Evaluators shall send questionnaires directly to the Government no later than 7 calendar days after receipt of the questionnaire. No questionnaire submittals will be accepted received directly from the offeror being evaluated. Once the evaluator completes the questionnaires, the information shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to the offeror. A cover letter for transmitting the questionnaire to each point of contact is provided in Attachment 9. Due date for Past Performance Volume II is 9 Apr 2009 Close of Business 4:30pm Eastern Standard Time

2.3.7 Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide a Subcontractor/Teaming Partner Consent Form, Attachment 9, from all subcontractors/teaming partners that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to release of their past performance information to the prime contractor.

2.4 FACTOR 3 PRICE AND CONTRACT FORMS VOLUME III

2.4.1 Price: Offerors have been provided a Seed Project price schedule (Attachment 22) and Seed Project, bid schedule (Attachment 24) on which to submit a price proposal for evaluation. The Government will evaluate the Seed project to determine whether price is realistic for the work described, reflects a clear understanding of the requirement, and is consistent with the various subfactors of the offeror’s mission capability proposal.

2.4.2 Bonds: Offeror shall provide proposal guarantee (bid bond) in the amount of 20% for the seed project as stated in Section H.

2.4.3 Financial Resources: Offerors shall address a fiscal plan for covering phase-in, unexpected and/or emergency situations, and initial performance costs prior to recoupment in the form of progress payments. Offerors shall submit a financial capability letter from their financial institution and a letter from the bonding company confirming bonding capability. Offerors shall submit income statement and balance sheet for the previous 5 fiscal years. The letter from the bonding company must indicate the offeror’s bonding capacity. This letter will be used in the Contracting Officer’s determination of responsibility.

2.4.4 Contract Forms: Include the following data in this volume in the format indicated. Designate on the volume cover, which proposal package contains the original, executed copy of the proposal (RFP).
