L-4.2. Technical Experience (Factor 1) Offerors must provide information on contracts that demonstrate their capability to perform on the SABER contract using a Self-Scoring Matrix (Attachment 3). The Self- Scoring Matrix is used to rate Work Samples. In the context of this Solicitation, a Work Sample is a record that can be validated for past performance (such as a specific contract, task order, or annual evaluation period) that has been rated with a CPARS report or, where one is not available, a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). The types of Work Samples that can be submitted for points differ across the evaluation criteria, and Offerors must refer to the specific requirements of each tab (SABER Annual, SABER Per TO, etc.) as specified in Section L-4.2.1 to properly complete the Self-Scoring Matrix. The self-rated scoring matrix is an Excel document that Offerors self-score against the pre-defined objective scoring criteria and deliver supporting documentation to objectively prove self-score validity. Self-rated scores shall be validated using work samples provided by the Offeror. The work samples shall include all the evidence required to validate the proposed self-score. Each Work Sample must have a completed Contract Information Sheet (see L4.2.2 for details), along with a Statement of Work and Price Schedule. Work samples must be relevant contracts performed for Government agencies and commercial customers within the last six (6) years.

L-4.2.1. Self -Scoring Matrix The matrix consists of a table of contents that displays the matrix broken down into six tabs (sections/criteria) for self-rating past performance. Any attempt to change formulaic values outside of editable fields may warrant an Offeror's proposal invalid and may not be considered.

Notes for Tab Completion and Maximum Points for Each Section

Tab 1 SABER Annual - 2000 points Fill out Tab 1 to self-score SABER Contracts Past Performance (CPARS) Rated annually.

Tab 2 SABER Per TO - 752 points Fill out Tab 2 to self-score SABER Contracts Past Performance (CPARS) Rated per task Order Tab 3 Multiple Award IDIQ -360 points Fill out Tab 3 to self-score Multiple Award IDIQs Construction Contracts Rated Annually Tab 4 Multiple IDIQ - 100 points Fill out Tab 4 to self-score Multiple Award IDIQs Construction Contracts Rated per Task Order Tab 5 Design Build - 48 points Fill out Tab to self-Score Design Build Construction Contracts Tab 6 General Construction - 30 points Fill Out Tab 5 to self-score General Construction Contracts Offerors shall fill out the proper number of Work samples in each Tab. Work Samples can only be used on one Tab.

To properly fill out the Work Sample information, Offerors must complete the blue-highlighted columns by entering the contract number and the name of the contract.

Additionally, depending on the section, the Annual Period or the Task Order number cell highlighted in Blue will need to be completed if applicable. Columns F and Columns I are to be left Blank. Column J shall be completed. In Column J, File Names for Reference shall reference any Contract Information Sheets, CPARS or PPQs that correspond to the Work Sample.

In the orange-highlighted columns, Offerors shall select the CPARs ratings for Quality, Schedule, and Management using the dropdown menus provided. It is important to note that only ratings of Satisfactory or higher will earn points, while Marginal or Unsatisfactory ratings will not contribute to the score. These guidelines ensure accurate and consistent evaluation of contractor performance.

Similar work for Government agencies outside the Department of the Air Force can be considered in the SABER Tabs (Tab 1 and Tab 2). However, the experience must include the essential elements of a SABER Contract. The definitions of a SABER contract, for the purpose of this solicitation, can be found in Section M-2.3.1.

The same is applicable for Multiple Award Construction Contract/ Design-Build Contracts. Similar work for Government agencies outside the Department of the Air Force can be considered in the MACC Tabs (Tab 3 and Tab 4). However, the experience must include the essential elements of a MACC Contract. The definition of MACC Contract, for the purpose of this solicitation, can be found in Section M-2.3.2.

Recognizing that IDIQ SABER and MACC type contracts can either be assessed a CPAR on an annual basis for the base contract OR be assessed for a CPARs at the Task Order level, two distinct tabs, Tabs 1 & 2 for SABER and Tabs 3 & 4 for MACC/DB Contracts were created on the scoring sheet. Contractors are not permitted to request PPQs for work samples where CPARS evaluations already exist. If a contract is already rated annually in CPARS, a PPQ cannot be completed per task order.

Likewise, if a contract is already rated per task order in CPARS, a PPQ cannot be completed for an annual evaluation rating.

PPQs will only be counted in the scoring when no CPARS evaluations have been completed for the specific work sample. Attempts to receive multiple scores for the same project will be rejected and the score adjusted accordingly.

Offerors shall not enter any information into the deduction column. The deductions column is for Government use only and will be used to deduct points that the Government cannot validate or deduct adverse CPARS that the Government deems necessary.

L-4.2.2. Contract Information Sheet The Offerors shall submit Contract Information Sheets (contracts/orders) which demonstrate their past technical experience for the Work Samples listed within the Self- Scoring Matrix. Contract Information Sheets demonstrating technical experience for multiple required elements in the Self - Scoring Matrix are only required to be submitted once.

Each Contract Information Sheet shall contain a small narrative explaining what aspects of the contract/order is deemed relevant to the proposed effort, which evaluation criteria in the HTRO Self-scoring matrix is supported. This narrative shall include reference number from the matrix, contract number and date of the annual period or task order number.

Offerors shall include corresponding Statement of Work and Price Schedule immediately after each Contract Information Sheet in Proposal Package.

Coefficients and any other information an Offeror considers confidential within a Price Schedule may be redacted at the Offeror's discretion.

L-4.2.3. CPARS

Offerors are required to include CPARS reports to be validated by the Government. CPARS shall include reference number from the matrix, contract number and date of the annual period or task order number.

L-4.2.3.3. Past Performance Questionnaire

Offerors have the option to submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) for contracts that have not been rated in CPARS. These questionnaires shall only be completed if there is no CPARS report for the project. The PPQ must be accompanied by a brief narrative explaining the contract, base contract, or task order it pertains to.

Offerors are responsible for ensuring that Attachment 4, Past Performance Questionnaires, is completed by Contracting Officer for the respective project.

Offerors also rate themselves based on their PPQ results and enter the applicable rating on the Self-Scoring Matrix.

L-4.3. Technical Proposal and Qualifications (Factor 2) The offeror shall provide technical proposal and qualifications information which includes a technically acceptable Seed Project proposal, Quality Control Plan, and Bonding Capability.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Header Miscellaneous Text (Modified):

M-1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Basis of Contract Award M-1.0.

This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3 and DoD Source Selection Procedures, as supplemented. In this procurement, the Government will determine best value based on an objective assessment and validation of the 2 Highest Technically Rated Offerors (2HTRO). Using 2HTRO, the highest 2 validated scores will be analyzed for price fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.304.

If the offeror with the highest Government validated technical score also has the lowest price, the award is made to that offeror. However, if the second highest technically rated offeror has a lower price and their government validated technical score is within 10% of the highest rated offeror, then the award is made to the second highest offeror instead.

. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY AND FACTORS M-2.0

The basis of award will be a technically acceptable, 2 Highest Technically Rated Offeror (2HTRO). The Government will select the best overall Offeror based on results of an integrated assessment of the proposals and ratings of past experience.

- Factor 1. Technical Experience

- Factor 2. Technical Proposal and Qualifications

- Factor 3. Pricing

The Government will use 2HTRO to evaluate the two top highest self-rated offerors. Offers will be validated by the Government for self-rated scores through the Technical Experience (Factor 1) and will be evaluated by the Government for a Technically acceptable Technical Proposal and Qualifications (Factor 2). Then Price fairness and reasonableness (Factor 3) will be evaluated by evaluating Contractor's coefficients and Total Evaluated Price.

Once the Government has identified at least two awardable offers after evaluating and validating Factor 1 and 2, the evaluation proceeds as follows. If the offeror with the highest Government validated technical score also has the lowest price, the award is made to that offeror. However, if the second highest technically rated offeror has a lower price and their government validated technical score is within 10% of the highest rated offeror, then the award is made to the second highest offeror instead.

Factor 1: Technical Experience M-2.1.

The Government will validate all technical experience for all six tabs as well as accompanying Contract Information Sheets/Attachment 45, Statement of Works, Price Schedules and CPARS (or Past Performance Questionnaire/Attachment 3) corresponding to the self-scoring matrix. The validation will be completed by the government using the provided CPARS reports as well as an integrated assessment of any CPARS reports not included.

Recognizing that IDIQ SABER and MACC type contracts can either be assessed a CPAR on an annual basis for the base contract OR be assessed for a CPARs at the Task Order level, two distinct tabs, Tabs 1 & 2 for SABER and Tabs 3 & 4 for MACC/DB Contracts were created on the scoring sheet. Contractors are not permitted to request PPQs for work samples where CPARS evaluations already exist. If a contract is already rated annually in CPARS, a PPQ cannot be completed per task order.

Likewise, if a contract is already rated per task order in CPARS, a PPQ cannot be completed for an annual evaluation rating.

PPQs will only be counted in the scoring when no CPARS evaluations have been completed for the specific work sample. Attempts to receive multiple scores for the same project will be rejected and the score adjusted accordingly.

For the purpose of this Solicitation, a SABER (Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineer) Contract contains the following elements:

-Element (1) The SABER needs to be a fixed price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract.

-Element (2) Design task orders and subsequent construction task orders based off those designs need to be in the scope of the IDIQ.

-Element (3) There is a unit price guide that is implemented, such as R.S Means or eGordian, that uses coefficients. (The pricing for designs are pre-priced).

-Element (4) The design and construction task orders must be carried out within the duration of the IDIQ.

For the purpose of this Solicitation, a MACC (Multiple Award Construction Contract)/Design-Build contains the following elements:

-Element 1) IDIQ whose requirements are competed among a pool of multiple awardees based on work defined in individual task orders.

-Element 2) Work should consist of multiple disciplines in general construction categories. This may include the following: architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, fire protection or communications.

-Element 3) Contract involves DB which stands for Design-Build. Design-Build means combining design and construction in a single contract with one contractor.

If an Offeror makes unsupported or misleading claims in their past technical experience, the Government may find that their self-rated score is inflated. The Government reserves the right to lower the Offeror's score. Additionally, the Government reserves to right to identify additional work samples to be utilized in its evaluation of Past Performance.

The Government intends to run Integrity Reports through Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for all Offerors and finding are subject to deductions. The CPARS Integrity Report is a report run through CPARS.gov. Potential deductions will be found running UEI and Cage codes through the database. The Government reserves the right to deduct 15 points for derogatory issues found in the Integrity Reports. Points will be deducted for records that display "Yes" under the following categories: Administrative Agreements, Defective Pricing, DoD determination of Contractor Fault, Information on Trafficking in Persons, Material Failure to Comply with Closeout requirements, Non-Responsibility Determination, Recipient Not-Qualified Determination, Subcontractor Payments Issues, Termination for Cause, or Termination for Material Failure to Comply.

In conducting the Technical Experience validation 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 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources.

Factor 2: Technical Proposal and Qualifications M-2.2.

Technical Proposal and Qualifications includes the Seed Project proposal (Subfactor 1), Quality Control Plan (Subfactor 2A), and Bonding Capability (Subfactor 2B). The technical evaluation team will evaluate all proposals on a as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. The minimum requirements for acceptability are:

Subfactor 1) Seed Project Proposal

An acceptable Seed Project (Subfactor 1) must meet all requirements in Section L 4.3.1 and Attachment 01/Statement of Work, (Section 1.4.11.2 Level 1 Design and Section 1.4.11.2.1 Drawings) for RKMF 240010- Repair Honor Guard Facility B10250. The Seed project Cost Proposal will be completed by using eGordian or software specified in the SABER Specifications.

Subfactor 2A) Quality Control Plan

An Acceptable Quality Control Plan (Subfactor 2A) must meet the requirements in Section L 4.3.2 and Attachment 01/Statement of Work (Section 1.25 Quality Control).

Subfactor 2B) Bonding Capability Information

Bonding Capability Information (Subfactor 2B) must meet the requirements in Section L 4.3.3. in order to be Acceptable.

Factor 3-Price M-2.3 The Government will evaluate Factor 3 by assessing the Contract using Attachment 2 - Price Schedule. A price analysis will be conducted IAW FAR15.404-1 to ensure a reasonable price has been proposed. The Government will analyze offers to determine if they are unbalanced with respect to prices for separately priced line items.

All five years will be considered in determining the Offeror's aggregate price.

Evaluation Methodology M-3.0.

The Government will utilize a 2 Highest Technically Rated Offeror (2HTRO) methodology. M-3.1.

The 2HTRO methodology requires the Offeror to submit a self-rated score based on the objective criteria described in Section L. The Government will utilize 2HTRO with fair and reasonable price. The use of 2HTRO enables the Government to evaluate the (2) highest rated Offerors. Following negotiations, if either of the two highest rated offerors are determined to be unacceptable, the proposal will be removed from further consideration. The next highest rated offeror will be evaluated in the place of the removed offeror(s).

The evaluation will be conducted in three steps. Step 1 validates Factor 1, Technical Experience; Step 2 evaluates Factor 2, Technical Proposal and Qualifications; and Step 3 evaluates Factor 3, Price.

The Government plans to award without any discussions. However, if needed, the Government reserves the right to have discussions with the top 2 highest rated offerors.

The decision to open discussions will be based on the Contracting Officer's decision at any step of the Evaluation process.

- Step 1- Validate Factor 1, Technical Experience M-3.2.1.

The Government will validate the top two ranked proposals to evaluate for Factor 1: Technical Experience. To qualify as the top two ranked proposals, Offeror's must have one of the two highest number of points on their self-scoring matrix. The Government will complete the validation process by checking each self-rated score on the Self Scoring Matrix. Validation will require that the scores align with the corresponding work samples. Supporting documents include Contract Information Sheets, Statements of Work, Price Schedules, and the CPARS provided by the Offeror in the proposal package.

If the Government is unable to find the supporting information within the referenced page, paragraph, table, etc., the Government may or may not reach out further for the substantiating information. The Government will unilaterally downward adjust the Offeror's self-rated score, potentially down to zero points. The Government may unilaterally downward adjust the Offeror's self-rated score if unsupported information is referenced. The Government will only adjust the Offeror's self-rated score downward, not upward. Such adjustments are within the sole discretion of the Government and are based upon the substantiation of the self-rated score provided by the Offeror.

The Government intends to run Integrity Reports through Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) for all Offerors and finding are subject to deductions. The CPARS Integrity Report is a report run through CPARS.gov. Potential deductions will be found running UEI and Cage codes through the database. The Government reserves the right to deduct 15 points for any derogatory issues found in the Integrity Reports. Points will be deducted for records that display "Yes" under the following categories: Administrative Agreements, Defective Pricing, DoD determination of Contractor Fault, Information on Trafficking in Persons, Material Failure to Comply with Closeout requirements, Non-Responsibility Determination, Recipient Not-Qualified Determination, Subcontractor Payments Issues, Termination for Cause, or Termination for Material Failure to Comply.

Since the scores can be deducted it is possible that one or both top two original Offeror proposals can be displaced by the next highest technically rated offeror's proposal.

If this happens, next highest self-scored proposal or proposals are evaluated.

Once two of the highest scores are validated by the Government, Factor 2 will be evaluated for those two Offerors.

- Step 2 - Evaluate Factor 2, Technical Proposal and Qualifications M-3.2.2.

In Step 2, the Government will evaluate Factor 2: Technical Proposal and Qualifications. This includes evaluating the top two proposals based on their Seed Project Proposal, Quality Control Plan, and Bonding Capability.

If both contractors meet the requirements and are considered technically acceptable in Step 2, the Government will move forward to Factor 3: Pricing and proceed to Step

3. However, if one or both proposals fail to meet the standards in any of the three subfactors: Seed Project Proposal, Quality Control Plan, or Bonding Capability, the process will revert to Step 1. At this point, any proposal deemed unacceptable may prompt the Contracting Officer to initiate discussions if necessary. However, the Contractor reserves the right to eliminate contractors from considerations when deemed appropriate.

- Step 3- Evaluate Factor 3, Price M-3.2.3.

The Government will review the top two validated Offerors that are technically acceptable and determine prices proposed are fair and reasonable using price analysis methods in accordance with FAR 15.404.

If either of the Offerors' prices are determined not fair and reasonable, the Government will return to Step 1 and evaluate the next highest validated Offeror.

If the offeror with the highest government validated technically rated proposal also offers the lowest price, the award will be made to that offeror. If, however, the second highest technically rated offeror has a lower price and their government validated technical score is within 10% of the highest rated offeror's score, the award will instead be made to the second highest offeror.

The Government intends to award to one (1) Offeror who is validated as the highest technically rated, with a fair and reasonable evaluated price.

Number of Contracts to be Awarded M-3.3.

The Government intends to award to one (1) contract for the Nellis/Creech Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineer Requirements (SABER) as a HUBZone set-aside.

Rejection of Unrealistic Offers M -3.4.

The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or low in price when compared to Government estimate, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program. Offerors are required to meet all Solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and Statement of Work, in addition to those identified as factors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Solicitation may result in the Offeror being ineligible for Award.

The Government will not entertain any exceptions. In the case a discrepancy exists between Section L- Instructions to Offerors and Section M -Evaluation Factors for Award, the evaluation criteria in Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award will take precedence.
