SECTION L – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

L.1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

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 L and/or failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

L.1.2. 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. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation solely on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal.

L.1.2.1. Proposals must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the nature and scope of work required. The Government will not search for data to cure problems or address inconsistencies in proposals. Each offeror shall submit a complete proposal in accordance with these instructions. The Government may consider any failure to comply with these instructions to be indicative of what could be expected from an offeror during performance and may consider it a weakness of the proposal. Statements such as "will comply," "noted and understood," "in accordance with industry best practices/standards," etc. without supporting narrative are not acceptable. Cursory responses or responses that merely reiterate or paraphrase General Requirements & Provisions (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 240 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. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Subpart 4.8, Government Contract Files, the Government will retain the original copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror request otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

The electronic proposal shall be delivered concurrently with the hard copy. If files are compressed, the necessary decompression utility must be included. The electronic copies of the proposal shall be submitted in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) version Office 2007 or higher: Word, Excel, Project, PowerPoint, and PDF, as applicable. Offerors are cautioned that the original hard copy form of the offeror’s proposal shall take precedence if any inconsistencies or discrepancies exist between the offeror’s original hard copy proposal and the documents submitted on electronic media.

Each page shall be counted except the following: the front and back cover, executive summary, blank pages, title pages, transmittal letters, tabs, tables of contents, glossaries, and those parts of the proposal noted as unlimited. If the proposal volume exceeds the page limitation, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal volume. Page limitations may also be placed on responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs).

The specified page limits for EN responses will be identified in the letters forwarding the ENs to the offerors.

L.3.2.2. Page Size and Format. A page is defined as each face of a sheet of paper containing information. When both sides of a sheet display printed material, it shall be counted as two (2) pages. Typing shall be in Times New Roman font size 12, single-spaced, on plain white paper. Page size shall be 8.5 x 11 inches, or DIN A4, not including foldouts, one (1) inch margin all-around. Pages shall be numbered sequentially by volume. No material may be incorporated by reference. Each volume shall contain a table of contents. Tab indexing shall be used to identify sections. Elaborate formats, bindings or color presentations are not desired or required. These page formats also apply to responses to ENs, if issued. These limitations apply to both electronic and hard copy proposals.

L.3.2.3. Binding and Labeling. The original hard copy proposal should be bound in a 2-, 3-, or 4-ring loose leaf binder which shall permit the volume to lie flat when open. Staples shall not be used.

*NOTE: The Government discloses two (2) Architect-Engineer (A-E) firms as the developers of the seed project requirements, Project No. TYFR 18-1047. IAW FAR 36.209, these firms are ineligible for bidding on the new MACC as the prime contractor because as the requirement developer, they possess source selection information that is relevant to the contract but is not available to all competitors. However, to prevent any potential Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) and an appearance of an unfair competitive advantage IAW FAR 9.505(a), the offerors are instructed not to contact/use the below identified A-E firms as their subcontractor or enter into a joint venture partnership and/or make a teaming arrangement with them for the purpose of bidding on this solicitation. This restraint applies only to the Project No. TYFR 18-1047 and for the duration of the MACC source selection or until the final MACC contracts are awarded. Any offeror who is not in compliance with this solicitation provision will be rendered non-responsible and ineligible for award.

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.

(c) Section K – Representations and Certifications. The offeror shall complete and submit this section in its entirety in addition to completing the on-line Representations and Certifications at SAM at https://www.sam.gov/

L.6.4.2. Responsibility Determination. IAW FAR 9.104-5, the offeror is required to comply with the submission regarding FAR 52.209-7, Information Regarding Responsibility Matters, found in Section K of this RFP. Since it is the Government’s intent to make Award Without Discussions IAW FAR 52.215-1, the Government may request an offeror to submit additional information so a responsibility determination can be made. This request for additional information will not be construed as communications or discussions with an offeror as defined by FAR 15.306. An incomplete proposal may be considered to indicate lack of understanding of the requirement and may result in the entire proposal being determined “Unacceptable” and eliminated from further consideration.

L.6.4.3. Teaming Arrangement and/or Letter of Intent. If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete, verifiable information detailing the arrangement, to include any relevant and recent information on previous teaming arrangement with the same partner.

L.6.4.5. Incurred Expenses. The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred or associated with preparation and submission of a proposal in response to this solicitation. All contractors who are awarded a contract as a result of this MACC solicitation will be awarded a task order to meet the minimum guaranteed amount at the time of award, subject to the availability of funds. The Government intends to issue a task order for the seed project to the best value offeror in lieu of a task order for the minimum guaranteed amount. NO OFFEROR WILL BE

COMPENSATED FOR SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL.

SECTION M – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1. SOURCE SELECTION

M.1.1. Number of Contracts. The Government intends to award up to five (5) contracts and reserve a pool of approximately two (2) “On-Ramp” contractors (see Attachment 2 – Special Contract Requirements, Paragraph 8.0.

for details) for this Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) program. The Government reserves the right to award more or less contracts, or none, if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines it to be in the Government’s best interest based on consideration of one or more of the following considerations: expected volume of work over the ordering period of the contracts, the need to sustain adequate competition, and the availability of best value proposals following completion of the evaluation of the proposals received. All offerors who are awarded a contract as a result of this solicitation will be for a single five (5) year 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. The Government intends to issue a TO for the seed project to the best value offeror in lieu of a TO for the minimum guaranteed amount.

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; and e) be determined responsible

IAW FAR 9.104-1.

https://www.sam.gov/

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 offer being determined technically unacceptable.

M.1.2.3. The Government seeks to award to the offerors who give 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 Total Evaluated Price (TEP) that also has a higher performance confidence assessment rating. As such, award(s) may be made to a higher priced, technically acceptable offeror(s) 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 source selection process, by 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 reserve the right to award a contract(s) without granting an opportunity to revise the original proposal.

M.1.3.2. The Government will concurrently evaluate all offerors’ Technical, Past Performance and Price volumes 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 of all offers.

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. The price evaluation team will evaluate each offeror’s proposed price for the design-build seed project to determine price reasonableness. The evaluation will be accomplished to IAW M.5, Factor 3, and then proposals will be ranked by the TEP.

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 FAR 15.306(c)(2), the Government also reserve the right to limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an 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(s) 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 and Completeness of the Seed Project Subfactor 2 – Quality Management Plan 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 its 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), General Requirements & Provisions (Attachment 1) and Special Contract Requirements (Attachment 2). 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.

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

M.3.1.1. Subfactor 1: Execution and Completeness of the Seed Project

This subfactor assesses the offeror’s technical approach to accomplish all work elements of the design-build seed project, Project No. TYYFR 18-1047. This seed project is a tangible task order which the Government intends to award as the first task order to a single contractor under the new MACC. The evaluation will address the offeror’s response as outlined in the right-hand column (the corresponding “Instructions to Offerors” column on the left is verbatim from Section L and is provided here for reference only):
