DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of these evaluation factors, “Similar Project” means the extent to which a project is comparable in nature, type, and complexity as defined by the following characteristics:

i. a project of at least $30 million;

ii. completed, or at least 50% complete, within the last 10 years prior to the proposal due date;

iii. includes HVAC, electrical, fire & life safety, paving, roofing, and general construction;

iv. CMc project delivery method; and

v. performed in an occupied 24/7 facility.

INSTRUCTIONS ON SUBMITTED SIMILAR PROJECTS: The offeror may satisfy the submittal requirements for evaluation Factors 1 and 2 through its submitted portfolio of three (3) – five (5)

Similar Projects. Offerors should not submit more than five (5) Similar Projects to satisfy the submittal requirements of both evaluation Factor 1 and Factor 2. The Government will only consider the first five (5) selected Similar Projects indicated in the offeror’s Technical Proposal.

The Government will evaluate the Similar Projects submitted by the offeror in the evaluation of

Factor 1 and Factor 2. Do not submit more than five (5) projects for the Government to evaluate as part of the Technical Proposal.

(1) Evaluation Factor 1 - Company’s Relevant Experience – 20%

This factor considers the extent of demonstrated experience, knowledge, and capabilities of the offeror based on the submitted Similar Projects. As part of the CMc project delivery method, the

Government may assess the following attributes of submitted Similar Projects to assess relevant experience:

the offeror’s relevant experience to partner with an A/E firm to assist in the development of a complete and high quality construction document package;

the relevant experience may consider the offeror’s experience and capabilities to add value through constructability reviews, scheduling considerations, coordination of disciplines, and evaluation of means and methods for construction; and any other attributes identified in relevant experience that facilitates the success of the

CMc project delivery method.

At a minimum, the submitted Similar Projects must together meet all five of the stated characteristics in the definition of “Similar Project”.

Submittal Requirements: Provide a minimum of three (3) and no more than five (5) examples of Similar Projects. Projects that show less than three of the characteristics as described in the definition of Similar Project will not be considered. The submitted portfolio of selected Similar

Projects must demonstrate all five of the stated characteristics of Similar Projects or the offeror will not be considered further. Each example of Similar Projects should include a project description, period of performance, description of scope of design and construction services (as applicable), project reference and/or name, the estimated GMP (if applicable), the final negotiated GMP or price at award, and the final contract value after adjustments. Provide contact references of the owner’s representative and/or owner’s project manager having oversight of the project. Each submitted Similar Projects must not exceed three (3) pages.

(2) Evaluation Factor 2 – Company’s Past Performance – 40%

This factor considers the depth and quality of the offeror’s past performance on Similar Projects with regards to considerations such as technical success and customer satisfaction. The factor may consider the depth and quality of the offeror’s performance in regards to the successful management of the project, the perceived quality of the final product from end users and clients, the timeliness and responsiveness of the offeror, and the ability to coordinate activities and work with various stakeholders.

The factor may consider past performance with Pre Construction Services to negotiate a final estimated cost of work (ECW) within the target ECW established at award and to complete the

Construction Services within the GMP. The factor may consider the quality of constructability reviews, scheduling considerations, coordination of disciplines, and evaluation of means and methods for construction. The evaluation factor may consider the quality of construction management services and added value these services provide beyond the expected internal quality controls of a general contractor in the performance of the work.

CPARS enables a comprehensive evaluation by capturing comments from both GSA and the contractor. The website for CPARS is Contractor Performance Assessment

Completed CPARS evaluations are sent to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) which may then be used by Federal acquisition community for use in making source selection decisions. PPIRS assists acquisition officials by serving as the single source for contractor past performance data.

(2) CPARS Registration: Each award requiring an evaluation must be registered in CPARS.

The contractor will receive several automated emails. Within thirty days of award, the contractor will receive an e-mail that contains user account information, as well as the applicable contract and order number(s) assigned. Contractors will be granted one user account to access all evaluations.
