Factor 2 revised 12 4 2009.doc

Factor 2: Offeror/Team’s Experience on Similar Projects

This factor will consider the extent of an offeror’s design/build experience in which the offeror provided the role of both A/E of record and the role of Design/Build Contractor on at least one (1) similar project as described below, that was completed within the past fifteen (15) years.

This factor will also consider the general construction experience of two (2) similar projects completed within the past fifteen (15) years. Projects must be of similar size, scope, and complexity as this Project.

In response to this factor an offeror must submit the required information listed below for three (3) similar projects successfully completed within the past fifteen (15) years. At least one project must be a design/build project. The other two projects can be general construction projects or design build projects.

For the design/build project both A/E and GC must meet the criteria below for Offeror/Team’s Experience on Similar Projects for this factor for the design/build project. If the A/E and GC did not work together as a team, each firm must submit three separate projects that meet the requirements of this factor.

The TEB will review only three (3) projects.

If a project is determined to be not comparable it will be evaluated, but it shall result in a lower rating.

Examples of projects that are likely not to be considered similar are: water supply / waste water treatment facilities, residential projects, transportation projects (i.e. Highways and Bridges) and schools.

Projects submitted in which the Offeror was not responsible for the buy-out and coordination of the major subcontracts, will not be accepted. (i.e. state or city projects awarded under a Wick’s Law procurement).

Three (3) projects must comply with the following criteria:

· All three projects must be 100% complete.

· The offeror must have the primary roles and responsibilities of the design and construction of at least one (1) project. The other two projects can be general construction projects or design build projects.

· All submitted projects must have been completed within the past fifteen (15) years.

· Two (2) of the projects must have involved coordinating construction activities within an occupied and operating facility, involving multiple construction phasing.

· A minimum construction cost of $50,000,000 at award for each single project. This can include design fees for the design-build project where an offeror was the prime contractor and held the contract. Individual task orders to IDIQ contacts in that meet the dollar amount requirement may be allowed however aggregating of task orders is not allowed.

· A minimum of 200,000 SF

· Similar projects include multi-story government office buildings, class “A” high rise buildings, hospital facilities, dormitories, prisons, multi-story commercial office buildings, court houses, and laboratories.

For each project submitted, offerors are required to provide a narrative explaining how the firm’s past experience on the submitted project is relevant to successful delivery of the Project. The narrative for each project shall be no more than two (2) typewritten pages and include no more than one (1) page of picture(s) per project. If more than two (2) typewritten pages are submitted for each project, the Government will review ONLY the first two (2) typewritten pages.

The following information shall be included in the narrative for each project:

· Name of project, date started (if design/build include both design start and construction start), date completed (substantial completion) and location

· Names of the project manager and superintendent

· For the design/build project(s): identify the architect and engineers of record for the primary disciplines.

· Description of type of project and construction contract value at award and completion.

· Gross square feet (GSF) of the project area

· Description of the firm’s roles and responsibilities, actual work the firm managed and work the firm self performed.

· Description of project quality, budget and scheduling requirements and how they were met

· Description of any major issues or project challenges and how they were addressed/resolved

· Description of the coordination with existing operations of the facility, if applicable

· Description of the coordination during design, if applicable
