II.D. Technical Proposal

The Technical Proposal shall include the information requested below for the non-price factors described in Section VI.

(1) Past Performance of Offeror

This factor considers the past performance of the Offeror. The Offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) to maximum of seven (7) references (a person or persons who may be contacted regarding the quality of the Offeror’s past performance for “similarly complex” as defined below) substantially completed within the last five (5) years. The Offeror must provide a Past Performance Reference Form (Attachment A) for each reference. The name, title, company, current address, current phone number, and current fax number for each reference must appear on the form.

A “similarly complex” project is defined as a project that is comparable in nature, type, and complexity as defined by the all of the following characteristic:

The project involved fire alarm replacement.

The project was performed in an occupied and functioning office building.

The project involved all of the following disciplines – HVAC, electrical, and fire alarm.

The project included historic restoration and repair of a building listed or eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings.

The project included requirements for noise control.

This factor will be evaluated based on the responses of references recommended by the Offeror. The Government also reserves the right to use other government data available in its assessment of the Offeror. The quality of the reference information supplied will be considered.

In accordance with FAR 15.306, the Offeror will be given the opportunity to respond to adverse past performance information.

This factor considers the extent of the Offeror’s past experience as a firm in a providing similar construction services.

The Offeror must demonstrate successful experience as a General Construction (GC) Contractor responsible for the construction of a least three (3) “similarly complex” projects (as defined above) substantially completed within the past five (5) years.

The Offeror may also present not more than five (5) additional comparable projects substantially completed within the last five (5) years.

A comparable project could include any of the combination of the above listed characteristics and the following characteristic:

Project involved construction of office and related facilities Project involved the restoration of historic finishes

Project required close coordination with occupants/owners security regulations.

For each project presented in relation to this factor, the Offeror must explain how the characteristics of the project relate to the characteristics of this project. The similarity to this project is more important than the quantity of projects presented. In addition, for each project presented, the Offeror shall submit an Experience Summary Form (Attachment B).

(3) Qualification of Key Personnel

This factor considers the proposed key team member’s qualifications related to this project; key team members must have been directly involved in the projects recommended by the Offeror for past performance and/or experience. This factor will be evaluated based on the Offeror’s written responses to the RFP and will include the calling of references to verify qualifications.

The Offeror shall identify the personnel proposed to fill key team member roles listed below and describes their roles and responsibility on this project. The Offeror shall provide resumes for each key team member clearly indicating their currently held position/title, proposed project position/title, education, qualifications, professional licensing, and work experience over the last five (5) years. Key team members include:

Project Manager and/or Construction Superintendent Fire Alarm Technician

Other key team members as determined by the Offeror

The key team member must meet the qualifications, if any, set forth in the Agreement. No substitution to key personnel shall be made without prior approval by the Contracting Officer. In the event that personnel approved by the CO are unable to perform their duties due to death, illness, resignation from the Contractor’s employment, the CO’s request for removal, or similar reasons, the Contractor shall promptly submit to the CO, in writing, the name and qualifications of the proposed replacement with equal or superior qualifications. This replacement, if approved by the CO, shall be submitted to the Government within three (3) calendar days from the time of removal and shall in no way delay the project schedule. If the schedule is delayed due to the Contractor’s lack of timely submittal or lack of an equally qualified submittal, the Contractor shall be responsible for any and all resulting costs associated with the delay. Any approved substitutions shall be made at no increase in contract price and/or decrease in qualifications.

This amendment is being issued to incorporate the pre-proposal conference meeting minutes and sign in sheets. This amendment also replaces the technical proposal requirements covered under Section II.D of your solicitation with the attachment. In addition, this amendment changes the Contractor's Working Hours to reflect 5:00pm to 7:00am.
