1. Program Structure and Objectives

1.1. The Government intends to select up to seven small business contractors for the Multiple Award

Construction Contract (MACC) II program. However, the Government reserves the right to award more or fewer total contracts if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines it is in the Government's best interest. The SSA will consider the Government's expected volume of work, available funding, adequate competition, and the availability of best value proposals. The Government reserves the right to award contracts without discussions. Each contract will have a one year ordering period with four-one year options. Individual task orders will be competed under fair opportunity rules cited in Federal Acquisition

Regulation (FAR) 16.

1.2. Budget/Funding Information - Funding will be obligated on each task order awarded under the basic contracts.

Categories, and SF 1442 Solicitation/Contract. Non-conformance with these instructions may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

2.2. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the

Government's requirements, but 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 on the information presented in the Offeror's proposal.

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

2.4. The proposal acceptance period is specified in Block 13 (D) of Section A (front page) of the model contract/solicitation. Offerors providing less than the specified calendar days for Government acceptance after the date offers are due may be considered non-responsive and may be eliminated.

2.5. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. The Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals unless the offeror requests otherwise.

2.3.5.2. The submitted Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) and Days Away, Restricted and/or

Transferred (DART) rates, or, injury and illness rates should be equal to or less than the most recently published Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) national average for the NAICS

Code 236220.

2.3.5.3. The Occupational Safety and Health Plan is acceptable when it addresses steps to maintain and/or improve submitted rates or other comparable data as appropriate.

2.4. Volume III - Contract Documentation

All sections and parts of the Solicitation and SF 1442 shall be complete and accurate.

2.5. Volume IV - Past Performance:

2.5.1. Past performance information will be gathered from offeror submissions, Government databases such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and/or through the use of

Government and commercial customer interviews and questionnaires. Only recent and relevant past performance information will be considered.

2.5.1.1. Recency is defined as performance less than three years old. The Government will not consider performance on contracts/task orders where performance was concluded more than three years prior to this solicitation’s issue date.

2.5.1.2. Relevancy is defined as work that involves approximately the same types of services described in this RFP.

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below)

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the

Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

3. DISCUSSIONS:

It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions; therefore, it is imperative that Offerors submit their best terms initially. However, if 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 Revisions

(FPRs) will be considered in making the source selection decision.

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 as detailed in the SOW, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.
