52.204-99

FAR 52.204-99 (DEVIATION)

System for Award Management Registration (August 2012)(DEVIATION)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

―Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database‖ means the retired primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

―Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code‖ means—

(1) A code assigned by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Logistics Information Service to identify a commercial or Government entity; or

(2) A code assigned by a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that DLA records and maintains in the CAGE master file. This type of code is known as an ―NCAGE code.‖

―Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number‖ means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

―Data Universal Numbering System+4 (DUNS+4) number‖ means the DUNS number means the number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at

Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

―Registered in the SAM database‖ means that—

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the SAM database;

(2) The Contractor’s CAGE code is in the SAM database; and

(3) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification

Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record ―Active‖. The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the SAM registration process.

―System for Award Management (SAM)‖ means the primary Government repository for prospective federal awardee information and the centralized Government system for certain contracting, grants, and other assistance related processes. It includes—

(1) Data collected from prospective federal awardees required for the conduct of business with the

Government;

(2) Prospective contractor submitted annual representations and certifications in accordance with FAR

Subpart 4.12; and

(3) The list of all parties suspended, proposed for debarment, debarred, declared ineligible, or excluded or disqualified under the nonprocurement common rule by agencies, Government corporations, or by the

Government Accountability Office.

(b)(1) The Contractor shall be registered in the SAM database prior to submitting an invoice and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The SAM registration shall be for the same name and address identified on the contract, with its associated CAGE code and DUNS or DUNS+4.

(3) If indicated by the Government during performance, registration in an alternate system may be required in lieu of SAM.

(c) If the Contractor does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) A contractor may obtain a DUNS number—

(i) Via the internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the contractor does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. The contractor should indicate that it is a contractor for a U.S. Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The Contractor should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business name.

(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(iii) Company physical street address, city, state and Zip Code.

(iv) Company mailing address, city, state and Zip Code (if separate from physical).

(v) Company telephone number.

(vi) Date the company was started.

(vii) Number of employees at your location.

(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) Reserved.

(e) Processing time for registration in SAM, which normally takes five business days, should be taken into consideration when registering. Contractors who are not already registered should consider applying for registration at least two weeks prior to invoicing.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the

SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(g)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, ―doing business as‖ name, or division name

(whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the

Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name with a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to—

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ―Suspension of

Payment‖ paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor’s

SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that

Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ―Suspension of payment‖ paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov or by calling 866-606-8220, or 334-206-7828 for international calls.

(End of Clause)

A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. The government intends to award a contract without discussion with respective offerors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Proposals must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation; alternate proposals will not be accepted. The response shall consist of two (2) separate parts; Part I - Price Proposal, Part II - Past Performance Information.

B. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional data will be requested 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 submit cost data to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

C. Specific Instructions:

1. PART I – PRICE PROPOSAL – No page limit. Submit original and two (2) copies and one (1) compact disk with electronic data files, in accordance with paragraph D4 below.

(a) Complete blocks 14 through 20C of the RFP Section A, SF1442. In doing so, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the RFP Sections A through J. These sections constitute the model contract.

(b) Insert proposed unit and extended prices in Section B for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) for CLIN

0001 and CLIN 0002.

(c) Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in Sections I and K. Section K shall be returned in its entirety.

For Section I, the offeror shall submit only those pages that require a fill-in.

If you are contemplating a joint venture on this project, you must advise, in writing, your assigned SBA business Opportunity Specialist (BOS) as soon as possible. It is also recommended that the agreement be submitted as soon as practicable to ensure compliance with established regulations. Any corrections and/or changes needed can be made only when your BDS has adequate time for a thorough review before the proposal due date. NO CORRECTIONS AND/OR CHANGES ARE ALLOWED AFTER TIME OF

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL OR BIDS.

2. PART II – PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION - Limited to no more than 60 pages, excluding completed past performance questionnaires. Only references for relevant past efforts/contracts are desired.

Submit original plus two (2) copies and one (1) compact disk with the electronic data files.

(a) Quality and Satisfaction Rating for Contracts Completed in the Past Three Years: Provide any information currently available (letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of completed product for relevant past efforts/contracts

(similar in scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires). In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc.

(b) Performance Surveys: The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror's performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this RFP. The government will use information submitted by the offeror and any other sources of information available to the Government to assess past performance. Provide a list of no more than ten (10), of the most relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers within the last three (3) years from the issue date of this solicitation. Recent past performance is defined as past performance on contracts within the last three years from the issue date of this solicitation. Past performance for contracts exceeding the timeframe for this definition of recency will be excluded from evaluation. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving building construction and renovation in an occupied building, curtain wall systems and a broad range of renovation projects to include performance or management of renovation or modernization that is similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. Relevance will be determined based in part on the specific work the contractor is proposed to perform on this RFP. In the past performance information, directly link the past performance information submitted to the contractor having performed the effort, and tie the information to the work the contractor is proposed to perform on this effort. Describe management experience that demonstrates ability to manage, construct and renovate a large facility with an estimated value between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. Describe why the listed contract/project is relevant. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.

(viii) Comments regarding compliance with contract terms and conditions

(ix) Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions. Describe mitigating circumstances or actions taken to correct the unacceptable condition and preclude recurrence. If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past relevant contracts.

(c) Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide with the proposal a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor.

(d) In addition to the above information, the offeror shall mail Attachment 4 of this solicitation, Past Performance

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION FACTORS

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

M-1 BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: This is a competitive best value source selection in which competing offerors' past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than cost or price considerations. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. All offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

A. Price Evaluation. The government shall rank all Technically Acceptable offers (and Unacceptable proposals that are correctable) by price, including any option prices if applicable. For proposal evaluation purposes, contract line items numbers (CLINs) shall be evaluated as follows:

CLIN 0001 + CLIN 0002 = Aggregate of Total extended Prices.

The government intends to award based on the aggregate of all CLINs. Multiple contracts will not be awarded as a result of this solicitation.

B. Performance Confidence Assessment. The contracting officer shall seek recent and relevant performance information on all offerors based on (1) the past efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources.

1) Using questionnaires and information submitted under Section L, Volume II, Past Performance, the contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information on all offerors based on (1) the past and present references provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources as well as questionnaires. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving building construction and renovation in an occupied building, curtain wall systems and a broad range of renovation projects to include performance or management of renovation or modernization that is similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. Past Performance that does not meet the recency requirement in Section L will be excluded from evaluation.

2) Past performance will address areas pertaining to the following attributes to which an assessment will be made:

a) Quality: The quality of work can be measured by how well the offeror conformed to or met contract requirements, specifications and standards of good workmanship (e.g. commonly accepted technical professional, environmental, or safety and health standards.)

b) Technical: Technical can be measured by the offeror’s ability to perform a project to meet technical, specifications, contract terms and conditions, and all local, state, and federal regulations as related to performing projects.

c) Schedule: Schedule can be measured in terms of the timeliness in which a contractor completes, or has completed, milestones, delivery schedules, and strict adherence to phased schedules, administrative requirements, contract requirements (e.g. efforts that contribute to or effect the schedule variance).

d) Business Relations: Business relations can be measured by the offeror’s integration and coordination of activity needed to execute the contract; working in occupied living quarters, i.e. dorms, hotels, hospitals, etc., institutional food preparation and dining facilities; the timeliness, completeness and quality of problem identification, and corrective action plans; proposal/modification submittals; the contractor’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior; and customer satisfaction.

C. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving building construction and renovation in an occupied building, curtain wall systems, and a broad range of renovation projects to include performance or management of renovation or modernization that is similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements based on the offeror’s demonstrated past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial

Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, or Unknown Confidence as defined in

DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table 5. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no recent/relevant performance history or if the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably (neutral).

TABLE 5. PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS

Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningfull confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidene assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

D. In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP. For each effort evaluated, a relevancy determination of the offeror's present and past performance, including joint ventures, subcontractors and/or teaming partners, will be made. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Relevancy will be assessed for contracts that are most similar to the effort, or portion of the effort, for which that contractor is being proposed, and may contribute to an overall higher relevancy determination for the offeror. The Government is not bound by the offeror's opinion of relevancy. The definitions in DoD Source

Selection Procedures Table 4 apply:

TABLE 4. Past Performance Relevancy Rating

Rating Definition Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

E. Recent past performance is defined as past performance on contracts within the last three years from the issue date of this solicitation. Past performance for contracts exceeding the timeframe for this definition of recency will be excluded from evaluation.

F. If the lowest priced evaluated technically acceptable offer is judged to have a ―Substantial Confidence‖ performance confidence assessment, that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

G. If the lowest priced offeror is not judged to have a ―Substantial Confidence‖ performance confidence assessment, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a ―Substantial Confidence‖ performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. The Source

Selection Authority shall then make an integrated assessment best value award decision.

H. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in Section L. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

I. The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective offerors. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. The government reserves the right to award one or no contract at all, depending on the quality of proposals submitted. Failure to propose for any item in the Schedule B may cause the offeror’s proposal to be rejected as non-responsive.
