This acquisition will encompass requirements that have, in the past, been acquired utilizing the Base Maintenance

Contract (BMC).

The multiple award contracts will accomplish all construction requirements (except MILCON) that have been completed by the current BMC contractor since 2000. This work will consist of multiple disciplines in general construction categories in a broad range of maintenance, repair, minor and/or new construction. Project requirements will be provided to the contractor by the Base Civil Engineering contractor by such means as a previously designed project, simplified design or by a design-build statement of work. Task order limits will be from $2,000 to

$3,000,000. The contractor shall provide all material, equipment, labor and general conditions to accomplish design, maintenance, repair, and minor construction projects in an expeditious manner. The work may include facility upgrades, utility work, airfield pavement, roads, painting, roof repair/replacement and other assorted repair and maintenance projects. The construction work includes tasks in various trades such as carpentry, asbestos abatement/removal, demolition, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, concrete masonry, painting and paving. Locations of work will be at Kirtland AFB, NM, and other areas supported by Kirtland AFB. The work will be accomplished for the 377 th

5.0 Volume III - Past Performance

5.1 General

Each offeror shall submit a past performance volume with its proposal, containing past performance information in accordance with the format contained in Attachment 5 of the RFP. This information is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners who are proposed to perform 51 percent or more of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price or perform aspects of the effort the offeror considers critical to overall successful performance. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance.

Along with the information required in this paragraph, the offeror shall submit a consent letter executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

5.2 Early Proposal Information

Each offeror is requested to submit the information shown in Attachment 5 of the RFP for each relevant contract NLT

1:00PM MST, 3 April 2012. Failure to submit early proposal information will not result in offeror disqualification.

The offeror shall send out Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaires to each of the Points of Contact (POCs) identified in the Past Performance Volume. In turn, the evaluating agencies shall submit the completed questionnaire by registered mail to Mr. Gilbert Martinez at AFNWC/PKO, 2000 Wyoming Blvd SE, Bldg. 20604

Rm. B-9, Kirtland AFB NM 87117, or via Email: gilbert.martinez@kirtland.af.mil. Evaluators shall send questionnaires directly to the Government no later than 7 calendar days after receipt of the questionnaire. No questionnaire submittals will be accepted directly from the offeror being evaluated. Once the evaluator completes the questionnaires, the information shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to the offeror. A cover letter for transmitting the questionnaire to each point of contact is provided in Attachment 5 of the RFP. Due date for Past Performance Volume III is 1:00PM MST, 3 April 2012.

Subcontractor Consent: Past Performance Information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide a Subcontractor/Teaming Partner Consent Form, Attachment 5 of the RFP, from all subcontractors/teaming partners that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to release of their Past Performance Information to the prime contractor.

5.3 Relevant Contracts

Submit information in accordance with Attachment 5 of the RFP: Past Performance Information on 3 to 5 recent contracts that you consider most relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. If applicable include information on at least one (1) recent contract performed by each of your teaming partners and significant subcontractors that you consider most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. Include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance. For a description of the characteristics or aspects the Government will consider in determining recency and relevance, see Section M, provision M002 - Evaluation Factors, paragraph M002c

- Past Performance Factor.

5.3.1 Specific Content

Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a limited or no confidence rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. 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. This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an offeror has overcome past problems is required. Categorize the relevant information into the specific Technical subfactors and Cost/Price factor used to evaluate the proposal.

5.3.2 Organizational Structure Change History

Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the

Government receives information from other sources.

6.0 Volume IV - Cost/Price

6.1 General Instructions

6.1.1 Cost/Price Reasonableness

This section is to assist you in submitting data other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed cost/price. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note that unrealistically low or high proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic proposal. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed costs/prices rests with the offeror.

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.

The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition.

Therefore, only a limited amount of pricing information is required in the initial proposals. Upon examination of the initial proposals (offers), the contracting officer will review this determination. If, in the contracting officer's opinion, there is adequate price competition, no additional price information, except for final proposal revisions, will be elicited 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 prepare, submit, and certify cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4.

6.1.2 Estimating Techniques and Methods

When responding to the Cost/Price Volume requirements in the solicitation, the offeror and associated subcontractors may use any generally accepted estimating technique, including contemporary estimating methods

(such as Cost-to-Cost and Cost-to-Non-Cost Estimating Relationships (CERs), commercially available parametric cost models, in-house developed parametric cost models, etc.), to develop their estimates. If necessary, reasonable and supportable allocation techniques may be used to spread hours and/or costs to lower levels of the work breakdown structure (WBS).

6.1.3 Cost/Price Data

Data beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your cost/price position. All data relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation, must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Cost/Price volume. Under no circumstances shall this data and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

6.1.4 Cost or Pricing Data Requirements

In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support a determination of price reasonableness. Data shall be provided in accordance with FAR 15.403-5 . If, after receipt of proposals, the CO determines that there is insufficient data available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the offeror shall be required to submit additional cost or pricing data.

6.1.5 Rounding

All dollar amounts provided shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. All loaded labor rates shall be rounded to the nearest penny.

6.2 Volume Organization

The Cost/Price volume shall consist of the following sections:
