Section L - Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders

L.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTIONS

L-1.1 To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. This Section L of the Request for Proposal (RFP) 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 in Section L and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in this Section Land/or failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

L-1.2 Proposals must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the nature and scope of work required. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal must 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. Statements such as "will comply," "noted and understood," "in accordance with industry best practices/standards," etc., without supporting narrative is unacceptable. Cursory responses or responses that merely reiterate or paraphrase Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) Specifications(Attachment 1) language will not be considered to satisfy the requirements of the RFP.

L-1.3 Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

L-1.4 The Government requires a minimum acceptance period of 180 calendar days from the date of receipt of offers as stated in Section A, Block 13D of the contract/solicitation; however, offerors may specify an acceptance period exceeding the Government's minimum requirement. In that case, the offeror must affirmatively state an acceptance period in Section A, Block 17.

L-1.5 The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation at any point before contract award. In the event this solicitation is cancelled, the Government has no obligation to reimburse offerors for any costs incurred.

L-2 GENERAL INFORMATION

L-2.1 Government Points of Contact. The Contracting Officers (CO) and Contract Specialist (CS) listed below are the Government's sole points of contact for this acquisition. The deadline for all questions, concerns, and/or request for clarification is no later than 14 calendar days prior to the proposal due date. The Government will not respond to submissions past the deadline. Contact information is as follows:

L-2.2 Debriefings. The CO will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range if a competitive range is established; whereupon the offeror may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with (IAW) FAR 15.505. Offerors excluded from the competitive range may request a pre-award debriefing or post-award debriefing. NOTE: Offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to a single debriefing. The CO will notify unsuccessful offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision IAW FAR 15.506. Upon such notification, unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing.

Offerors desiring a debriefing must make their request IAW the requirements of FAR 15.505 or15.506, as applicable.

L-2.3 Discrepancies. If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the Offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the claimed omission or error. The Offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussions.

L-2.4 Conflicting Proposals. Proposal must be submitted in both electronic and paper format specified in L.3.X and Table 3.X. In case of a conflict between paper and electronic proposal copies, the paper version will take precedence.

If the Offeror intends to fulfill the requirements of this RFP in a teaming arrangement or joint venture, the Offeror must provide complete information as to the arrangement, including their roles, responsibility, and line of authority in the Summary Page(s).

L-5.2.3 Present/Past Performance Information (PPPI): Submit accurate information on no more than four (4) total recent contracts/task orders the offeror considers most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. A sample PPPI is provided (Section J, Attachment 8). If PPPI is submitted from prior organization structures (e.g., mergers, subsidiaries, purchases, novation, etc.), submit a detailed change history to include company names, CAGE codes, and specific dates. One (1) of the PPPI references may be for subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partners that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirements. "Recent" is defined as ongoing contracts/task orders or those completed within five (5) years of the date of issuance of this solicitation that includes at least six (6) months of documented performance during the five-year period.

This may include a discussion of steps taken by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts, as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risks. NOTE: Merely encountering problems does not automatically result in to a "Limited" or "No Confidence" rating, since the problems encountered may have occurred on a more complex project, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to successfully overcome the problems. 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.

L-5.2.4 Subcontractor Letters of Consent. Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor's consent.

As soon as practicable, offerors shall complete Section 1 of the PPQ (Section J, Attachment 7) and email it to all POC(s) the offeror has identified in the PPPI (Section J, Attachment8). The POC(s) will then complete the PPQ and send them directly to the Government representatives identified in the PPQ by e-mail, no later than the proposal due date stated in SF 1442 Section A, Block 13 of this RFP. Offerors shall follow-up with respondents to ensure they have completed the PPQ and sent to the 23 CONS/PKA. Once submitted, the information contained therein shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to the offeror. Include the completed Sections 1 of the PPQ in the Past Performance proposal Volume. Any PPQs submitted directly by an offeror will not be considered. It is the sole responsibility of the offeror to send out and track the completion of a PPQ to ensure it is received by the proposal deadline.

L-6 VOLUME III: PRICE ANDOTHER CONTRACTING CONSIDERATIONS

L-6.1 General. The price and Other Contracting Considerations proposal shall be prepared according to these instructions and will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria in Section M of this RFP. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may render the proposal unawardable.

L-6.2 Volume Organization. The Price and Other Contracting Considerations Volume shall be organized according to the following general outline:

2) Coefficient Rate Development and Reasonableness Justification

3) Teaming Arrangement(s) and/or Letter of Intent (if applicable)

4) Solicitation Requirements, Terms and Conditions

5) Bid Acceptance Period

6) Bonding Capability

L-6.3 Coefficient Rate Proposal

NOTE: For the purpose of building the CTC based construction estimate and coefficient in response to this RFP, the offeror must obtain a temporary access to the Moody CTC data available through eGordian free of charge. To obtain a temporary access, please email Ms Thais

Crespo with Gordian at t.crespo@Gordian.com to obtain a username and password with access to the Moody eGordian environment and the

CTC. Gordian will respond via email within 24-48 hours with a username/password combination granting access to the program.

L-6.3.1 Reasonableness. The source selection will be conducted with the expectation of adequate price competition for this acquisition per FAR 15.403-1(c)(1); therefore, certified cost or pricing data are not required per FAR 15.403-1(b)(1). If at any time, however, if the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists or if price/coefficient rate reasonableness cannot be determined, offerors may be required to submit certified cost or pricing data or additional data other than certified cost or pricing data, as appropriate, for the CO to determine price/coefficient rate reasonableness.

L-6.3.2 Coefficient Rate. The offerors shall NOT include the eGordian fee into the proposed coefficient. Only the selected SABER awardee will include the eGordian fee as a separate line-item in each task order cost proposal.

(a) Coefficient Rates. The offeror shall provide a single rate of coefficient to be applied for all SABER Task Orders for the entire 4-yr Ordering Period in Section B, Price Schedule in SF 1442. The offeror's coefficient rate shall include all contractor costs not included in the published unit prices in the CTC for a particular task order. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to all site and home office overhead and profit, subcontractor overhead and profit, general & administrative personnel expenses, bond premiums, insurance, financing, taxes, mobilization & demobilization for the contract and for each task order, daily and final cleanup, all taxes, general conditions, price difference between the published unit prices and local market pressures, special clothing for workers including personal safety equipment, off-site storage such as gang boxes or storage containers for tools, equipment and materials, site superintendence, quality control, project management and supervision, routine security delays, meeting security requirements, and basic safety and warning signage.

Offerors also should consider that typical SABER projects include but are not limited to projects that take place during normal working hours (0730 - 1630), Monday through Friday excluding federal holidays, and projects that take place outside of the normal working hours, or in a secure area where the contractor must be escorted.

The coefficient shall represent "net" (equal to 1.0) or a percentage "decrease from" (e.g., .92) or an "increase from" (e.g., 1.22) to the unit prices listed in the CTC. The proposed coefficient is not subject to economic price adjustments and will remain unchanged for the entire 4-year ordering period. To incorporate fair inflation rate adjustment to the unchanging coefficient rate, the CTC will be republished annually during the contract to be applied to the proposed construction price to finalize all SABER task order prices.

(b) Coefficient Rate Reasonableness Justification. Offerors shall provide full explanation with sufficient details for the basis for development of its coefficient. Unreasonably high or unrealistically low coefficient rate, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirements, or the coefficient represents an unacceptable risk to the Government.

L-6.3.3 Initial Total Evaluated Price (TEP). To ensure efficient evaluation process, the Government will rank all proposals from the lowest to the highest priced offerors, as indicated in Section M-1.3.2, to establish the proposal evaluation order. To accomplish this, the initial TEP (for the ranking purpose only) will be calculated by multiplying the offeror's coefficient rate proposed in Section B against the CSI format total construction cost submitted under Technical Factor (Volume 1), Subfactor 1(c). Based on the process described, it is imperative that each offeror to provide the accurate/reasonable construction cost estimate under the Technical volume and propose a reasonable/realistic coefficient rate in Section B of the SF 1442 in their initial proposal.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

M-1 SOURCE SELECTION

M-1.1 Number of Contract(s): The Government intends to make the award to a single contractor. The awardee will perform for a single four (4) year SABER program ordering period and will be awarded a Task Order (TO) to meet the minimum guaranteed amount at the time of award, subject to the availability of funds.

M-1.2 Basis for Contract Award

M-1.2.1 This is a competitive, Best Value Tradeoff source selection where the Past Performance factor is considered approximately equal to the Price factor for proposals rated "Acceptable" under the Technical factor. To be considered for award, an offeror must:

a) Meet the Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award, and conform to all solicitation terms and conditions in compliance with

Section L, Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Offerors or Respondents.

b) Receive “Acceptable” Technical Rating.

c) Receive a Past Performance Confidence Rating other than “Limited” or “No Confidence.”

d) Have a complete, fair and reasonable price/coefficient.

e) Be determined responsible IAW FAR 9.104-1.

M-1.2.2 All technically acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and past performance records. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offeror being determined technically unacceptable.

M-1.2.3 The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Air Force the greatest confidence that they will best meet or exceed the requirements of this solicitation in terms of quality and affordability. In this source selection, the Source Selection Authority (SSA) will make an integrated assessment and best value award decision to award without discussions or will direct establishment of a competitive range for the purpose of holding discussions. In making an integrated best value award decision, if the SSA determines it to be in the Government's best interest, the Government may trade up to a proposal with a higher coefficient rate that also has a higher performance confidence assessment rating. As such, award may be made to a higher priced, technically acceptable offeror with a greater performance confidence assessment rating, over a lower priced, technically acceptable offeror with a lesser past performance rating (to include "Unknown Confidence"). The Government will not award a contract to an offeror rated "Limited Confidence" or "No Confidence" under the Past Performance factor.

M-1.3 Discussions and Evaluations.

M-1.3.1 While the Government source selection evaluation team and the SSA will strive for maximum objectivity, the selection process, by its nature, is subjective and, therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

IAW FAR 52.215-1(f)(4), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award the contracts without discussions. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Offerors shall submit the required information in the format specified in Section L. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their Technical, Past Performance or Price proposal. Exchanges conducted with regard to adverse past performance or to resolve minor or clerical errors in any of the proposal volumes will not constitute discussions, and the CO reserves the right to award a contract without granting an opportunity to revise the original proposal. In addition, the Government reserves the right to reject any or all offers if such action is in the Government's best interests.

M-1.3.2 Evaluation Process. The Government will assume that each proposal is complete and in accordance with Sections L & M and will initially rank the proposals from lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP) to highest TEP. As indicated in Section L-6.3.3, the TEP will be utilized for establishing the evaluation order purpose only. The TEP will be calculated by multiplying the offeror's coefficient rate proposed in Section B against the CSI format total construction cost submitted under Technical Factor (Volume 1), Subfactor1(c).

Once the ranking by the TEP is established, the Government will then concurrently and independently evaluate the offerors' Technical, Past Performance and Price volumes, starting with the proposal with the lowest TEP and proceed with evaluations by ascending TEP. The Government will continue to evaluate each proposal from lowest TEP to highest TEP, until a proposal is found to be "Technically Acceptable" for the Technical Factor, receive a "Substantial Confidence" rating for the Past Performance Factor, and its price is determined fair and reasonable, and the CO determines the offeror to be responsible IAW FAR 9.104-1. If such proposal is found, then the SSA may determine that proposal represents the best value and direct award be made to offeror without evaluating higher priced proposals or conducting discussions with previously evaluated, lower priced offerors. Unless the SSA makes this determination, evaluations of higher priced offers will proceed. With the evaluation process described above, the offerors are reminded that it is imperative that providing their best offer in their initial proposals in terms of the accurate/reasonable construction cost estimate under the Technical volume and reasonable/realistic coefficient rate in Section B of the SF 1442. The

Government will evaluate offers as follows:

a) Technical: The technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical acceptability of each offeror’s proposal. The evaluation will be accomplished IAW M-3, Factor 1.

b) Past Performance: The past performance evaluation team will evaluate the past performance. The evaluation will be performed IAW M-4, Factor 2, and a performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned based on the integrated assessment of recency, relevancy, and the performance quality.

c) Price/Coefficient: The price evaluation team will evaluate the offeror’s proposed coefficient to determine reasonableness.

M-1.3.3 The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. If the Government holds discussions, at the direction of the SSA, the CO will establish a competitive range IAW FAR 15.306(c)(1) procedures and this solicitation. IAW FAR15.306(c)(2), the Government also reserves the right to limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. If the CO eliminates a proposal from the competitive range, the proposal will not be considered for award. Written notice of a CO's decision to eliminate will be provided to unsuccessful offeror(s) IAW FAR 15.503(a)(1).

M-1.3.4 If anything during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision.

M-1.4 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 and subfactors.

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 complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exception unacceptable.

M-2 EVALUATION FACTORS AND SUBFACTORS FOR AWARD

The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal. Award(s) will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and subfactors described below:

Factor 1: Technical

Subfactor 1: Execution of Moody AFB Seed Project

Subfactor 2: Management Approach

Factor 2: Past Performance

Factor 3: Price

M-3 FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL

The purpose of the technical factor is to assess the offeror's proposed approach, as detailed in the proposal, to satisfy the Government's requirements. The Government technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals, assigning a rating of "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable". The offeror's proposal shall be evaluated utilizing the two (2) technical subfactors, as they apply to the Seed Project SOW (Attachment 3) and the SABER Specifications (Attachment 1). The offeror's proposal must demonstrate a clear understanding of the nature and scope of work required. Failure to provide a reasonable and complete proposal may reflect a lack of capability to perform the work requirements and may result in a determination that the offer's proposal is "Unacceptable." Detailed instructions are included in the Section L.4 of this solicitation. Any subfactor evaluated as "Unacceptable" will render the entire proposal "Unacceptable" and, therefore, unawardable. 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.

Table C-1. Technical Rating

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

M-3.1 Proposals shall be evaluated against the following technical subfactors:

M-3.1.1 Subfactor 1: Execution of Moody AFB Seed Project

The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical approach to accomplish all work elements of the Moody AFB Seed Project.
