About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for Solicitation Number FA524025R0001, addressing clarifications about project magnitude and past performance evaluation criteria for a repair project at Marbo Bulk Plumbing Station. The key questions and government responses focus on reconciling the project's estimated value range of $20-$100 million with the past performance relevancy requirements, specifically the threshold of $3 million for project consideration. The government clarified that for a past performance project to be deemed RELEVANT, it must meet three criteria: scope, magnitude, and complexity, with projects greater than $3 million being considered for evaluation. The responses emphasize that the $3 million threshold applies to past performance assessment, while the overall project magnitude remains $20-$100 million.

Question # Question/Comment Government Response
1442 and Section M – in the 1442 the magnitude of the project is noted as $20 to $100 million. In Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award, the relevant project size is noted a greater than $3,000,000. The Government’s requirement for the work is inconsistent. Is the project value $1M to $5M
Per FAR 36.204 and DFARS 236.204, the magnitude of construction refers to the estimated price range of the anticipated award. Section M references the evaluations factors to be used to make the award, particularly, the past performance factor. Under past performance, there are three (3) elements that the Government will assess: recency, relevancy, and performance quality. For a project to be considered RELEVANT, projects must meet all three criteria of SCOPE, MAGNITUDE, and COMPLEXITY. To meet the requirement of MAGNITUDE, projects that are submitted either through offeror PPQs or ratings received in the Federal Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)/Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) shall be greater than $3M. Any submission of a past project(s) $3M or less will be considered NOT RELEVANT.
1442 and Section M – in the 1442 the magnitude of the project is noted as $20 to $100 million. In Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award, the relevant project size is noted a greater than $3,000,000. The Government’s requirement for the work is inconsistent. Will the Government make the relevant project value(s) greater than $20,000,000?
Please see Response 1.
Section M – for an “Acceptable” evaluation of relevancy, will the Government require at least one project to be greater than $20,000,000 in contract value?
The Government will consider for evaluation completed projects that are greater than $3M. In accordance with Section M of the solicitation, magnitude refers to the value of past performance project information being evaluated and is only one of three criteria that offerors shall meet in order for a project to be considered RELEVANT. Acceptability refers to the Government's overall Past Performance Evaluation Rating of an offeror's proposal.
1442 and Section M – the Government defines “RELEVANT” as “Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation.” Which “magnitude” is the Government referring to, the value of the requirement as noted in the 1442, or the contract value greater than $3,000,000?
Please see Response 3.
1442 and Section M – If the Government’s response to the definition of relevancy is a project greater than $3,000,000, what is the relevance of the Magnitude noted on the 1442 of $20,000,000 to $100,000,000?
Please see Response 1.
