Note: The Government does not intend to respond to emails for drop-off request codes submitted less than 10 calendar days before the proposal due date shown in the solicitation.

2. No later than four (4) calendar days prior to the proposal due date, the Contract Specialist or Contracting

Officer will send a “Request Code” to the Offeror’s specified POC via the email address provided. Only the Offeror’s identified POC will be able to drop off the proposal or proposal revisions in DoD SAFE. Failure to provide accurate POC information will preclude the Offeror from using DoD SAFE.

3. Offerors are instructed to submit their complete Phase One proposal in one (1) single file, formatted in

Portable Document Format (PDF) with a .pdf file extension.

4. To submit the proposal, the Offeror will go to the DoD SAFE website at https://safe.apps.mil, accept the user agreement, click “Drop-off,” and enter the 12-digit “Request Code” that was provided by the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer. The system will allow for inclusion of a short note to the Government recipient. The Offeror will then click to add their proposal file, or drag and drop the file. Click “Drop-off Files” to send the file to the Government recipient.

SECTION 00210

BASIS OF AWARD AND EVALUATION FACTORS

1. BASIS OF AWARD

Selection of contractor(s) will be accomplished using Source Selection Procedures on the basis of Best Value to the Government, using the tradeoff process as described in FAR 15.101-1. This process allows for a tradeoff between non-price factors and price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated proposal to achieve a best-value contract award. Interested firms are expected to review the RFP and participate in a pre-proposal conference and site visit (if conducted), provide proposed prices for the initial project, and provide proposal information requested to evaluate their technical and past performance factors.

The Two Phase Design-Build procedures of FAR 36.3 will be used for this procurement. Phase One of the solicitation is in accordance with FAR Part 36.3. Phase One evaluation will result in a determination of the most highly qualified Offerors. These Offerors will be requested to submit a Phase Two proposal. The maximum number of Offerors that will be selected to submit a Phase Two proposal is approximately eight (8). Phase Two of the solicitation shall require submission of technical and price proposals by the Offerors selected in Phase One, which will be evaluated separately in accordance with Part 15. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contract(s) without discussions.

The Government anticipates three or more multiple award construction contracts. Offerors are advised that those Offerors who are selected to proceed to Phase Two are not guaranteed receipt of a contract award. Award of the basic multiple award construction contracts will be made to those responsible Offerors whose proposals conforming to the solicitation are determined to be the most advantageous to the Government considering past performance, technical, and price factors. The Government reserves the right to award three or more contracts under this solicitation or to award only the initial project (Proposed Task Order 0001) identified in the RFP as a single-action contract. The Government reserves the right not to award the Proposed Task Order 0001. The Government reserves the right to substitute or add other design-build projects that meet the scope of the MACC. Subject to the availability of funds, the Government reserves the right to delay or cancel the award of Proposed Task Order 0001 at time of the basic contract award. If the task order is not awarded with the basic award, the guaranteed minimum will be awarded.

The Government reserves the right to reject any or all basic contract offers at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any one or all Offerors; to award the contract to other than the Offeror submitting the lowest total price; and to award contracts to three or more Offerors submitting proposals determined by the Source Selection Authority to be the most advantageous to the Government.

OFFERORS ARE ADVISED THAT IT IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE THAT AN AWARD MAY BE MADE

WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS OR ANY CONTACT CONCERNING THE PROPOSALS RECEIVED.

Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable price and technical terms. Offerors should not assume that they would be contacted or afforded the opportunity to qualify, discuss, or revise their proposal.

Firms participating in the pre-proposal conference and site visit (if conducted) will not be compensated for their participation.

Successful Offerors will receive the following contract awards:

The Offeror submitting the proposal, conforming to the RFP, determined to represent the Best Value receives award with a minimum guarantee and the initial project, if the Government chooses to award it. Second, third, and any additional selected contractor will each receive award with a minimum guarantee, and selection will be based on the same criteria as the first selection.

2. DEFINITIONS

100% COMPLETE:

For construction projects: The facility is completely constructed and ready for the intended use.

For design projects: 100% plans and specifications signed off by an Architect-Engineer and ready for construction with final cost estimate. Does not include any Post Construction Award Support

(PCAS).

ACCEPTABLE FEATURES: A proposed method or technique in the proposal that addresses solicitation requirements such that no further explanation or documentation is necessary.

COMBINED PROJECT(S): Projects with multiple starting and ending points, performed under separate task orders, delivery orders, or multiple contracts combined in a single description. No credit will be given for work performed under MACC/IDIQ contracts in the aggregate or for multiple projects completed under more than one task/delivery order.

DEFICIENCY: A material failure of a proposal to meet a solicitation requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

DESIGN-BUILD: Refers to combining design and construction in a single contract with one contractor. Design-build projects require design of the project by a licensed professional (i.e.

engineer, architect). Projects that only require shop drawing level effort are not design-build projects.

DESIGN-BID-BUILD: Refers to the traditional delivery method where design and construction are sequential and contracted for separately with two separate contracts and contractors; one for an A-E contract and one for a construction contract.

EXPERIENCE: Pertains to work performed by an Offeror and Offeror’s Team within the prescribed timeframe, which is the same or similar to the work that may be ordered under this contract in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Experience is distinct from past performance (how well an Offeror has performed).

LEAD DESIGN FIRM / DESIGN TEAM: Applies to the Offeror’s primary proposed design firm(s) and any in-house lead designer(s).

JOINT VENTURE (JV): An arrangement of two or more businesses (parties) to compete and perform as prime contractor for a contract.

MEANINGFUL INVOLVEMENT: Provision of, or reliance upon, the workforce, management, facilities, or other resources of an affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD, such that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD will be involved in the contract effort with the Offeror, and thereby affect the performance of the Offeror.

NEW CONSTRUCTION: Refers to projects creating entirely new facilities (or new expansions/additions to existing facilities where a new structure and/or foundation are provided as part of the expansion/addition).

OFFEROR: Refers to the Contractor submitting the proposal as Offeror, including joint ventures, whose name appears in Block 14 of Standard Form (SF) 1442 (Solicitation, Offer and Award). In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the Offeror's name cited on the SF 1442 and any other part of the proposal, the SF 1442 is the conclusive document in determining the Offeror who is submitting the proposal.

OFFEROR’S TEAM: Refers to the Offeror (see definition), the Offeror's outside Lead Design Firm, and/or in-house Lead Designer(s) only; does not include subcontractors or consultants, except as noted for Small Business Offerors utilizing first-tier Small Business subcontractor experience.

CONTRACTOR TEAMING ARRANGEMENT: An arrangement in which two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor, or a potential prime contractor agrees with one or more companies to have them act as its subcontractor(s), under a specified Government contract or acquisition program. A proposed contractor teaming arrangement will be recognized by the Government provided the Offeror identifies, in its proposal, the type of arrangement, fully discloses company relationships, and provides a copy of the partnership, joint venture agreement, or teaming agreement with the proposal package.

PAST PERFORMANCE: Relates to how well an Offeror and Offeror’s Team has performed;

e.g., the quality of work accomplished, schedule compliance, customer satisfaction.

3. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF THE EVALUATION FACTORS

The relative importance of the evaluation factors is as follows:

a. Phase One: Phase One shall consist of Factors 1, 2, and 3. Factor 1 (Technical Approach) will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable for Factor 1, they will not be invited to participate in Phase Two. Factors 2 is of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (Factor 3, Past Performance).

b. Phase Two: Phase Two shall consist of Factors 4, 5, and 6. Factor 6 (Small Business Participation) will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable for Factor 6, they will not be considered for award of a contract. In making the best value award decision in Phase Two, Factors 2 through 5 and price will be considered.

The technical factors (2, 4, and 5) are of equal importance to each other and when combined, are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (Factor 3, Past Performance). The combined non-price factors are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non- price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non- price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

According to FAR 15.304, the evaluation factors that apply to this acquisition are a part of this RFP and are evaluated individually. The applicable evaluation factors and submission requirements are identified below.

FACTOR 2: EXPERIENCE (See definition)

Submit Exhibit “B” (Construction/Design Experience Project Data Sheet) under Tab “2.”

(1) Construction Experience:

The Offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects that best demonstrate self-performed (see definition) experience on projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to projects that may be ordered under this contract.

For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as new construction, renovation, and/or repair of heavy horizontal and civil engineering construction projects, by design-build or design-bid-build, with a construction cost of $300,000 or greater.

Examples of relevant construction projects are construction projects similar in scope to:

outdoor shooting and combat training ranges and terrains; canals, channels, dams, and embankments; erosion control and/or storm drainage retention/detention basins; earthwork and grading; landfills; ammunition magazines; irrigation and landscaping; recreational fields and parks; and tunneling and horizontal directional drilling.

In addition, the Offeror shall meet the following minimum requirements:

At least one (1) of the relevant self‐performed construction projects shall demonstrate the Offeror’s experience with new construction.

At least one (1) of the relevant self‐performed construction projects shall demonstrate the Offeror’s experience with design‐build (see definition) construction.

Submit at least one (1) self‐performed relevant construction project with a construction cost of $3,000,000 or above. This refers to the total contract cost if the work was performed by the Offeror as prime contractor, and the subcontract cost if the work was performed by the Offeror as a subcontractor.

Demonstrate self‐performed construction experience in at least three (3) of the following types of work:

o Outdoor shooting or combat training ranges and terrains o Canals, channels, dams, or embankments o Erosion control and/or storm drainage retention/detention basins (Only projects that are stand‐alone erosion control or storm water management projects will be considered to meet this requirement. Other projects, such as buildings, that include erosion control or storm water management will not be considered to meet this requirement.)

o Earthwork & Grading (Only projects containing a minimum of 100,000 cubic yards earthwork & grading will be considered to meet this requirement. Projects with minimal site work will not be considered to meet this requirement.)

o Landfills o Ammunition magazines o Irrigation, landscaping, recreational fields and/or parks o Tunneling & horizontal directional drilling

Note: A single project may satisfy more than one of the above minimum requirements.

Exhibit “B” must clearly address how the project meets the above requirements.

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be 100% complete (see definition) within the past seven (7) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract.

For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather Offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

The attached Construction & Design Experience Project Data Sheet (Exhibit “B”) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. If the same project is being used to demonstrate construction and design experience, submit separate Project Data Sheet forms for construction and design. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages).

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP (how the project meets the requirements listed above). In addition, the description shall also address any sustainable features (see definition) for the project, including specific descriptions of those features. Provide applicable documentation on projects with sustainable building validation and/or certification through any Third Party Certification entity.

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, relevant projects shall be submitted for each Joint Venture member. Offerors who fail to submit relevant experience for all Joint Venture members will be assigned a deficiency and will be rated Unacceptable. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name and address is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract. Regarding any such submitted project, if the Offeror fails to demonstrate the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD firm’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract, the project will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated.

The Offeror may not utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor unless the following applies:

Applicable to Small Business Offerors only:

If a Small Business Offeror cannot independently demonstrate its own experience, the Small Business Offeror may utilize the experience of a first-tier Small Business subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement in order to demonstrate relevant construction experience under this evaluation factor. The Government will consider the submitted relevant experience of each first-tier Small Business subcontractor as the experience of the Small Business Offeror, provided that:

1) The Small Business Offeror submits a supporting partnership or teaming agreement for each first-tier Small Business subcontractor; and

2) The Small Business Offeror provides an explanation of the meaningful involvement that each first-tier Small Business subcontractor will have in performance of this contract.

Regarding any such submitted project(s), if the Small Business Offeror fails to include a supporting partnership or teaming agreement and/or fails to demonstrate the first-tier Small Business subcontractor’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract, the project(s) will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated. Small Business Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

(2) Design Experience:

Submit a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) relevant design projects for the design team that best demonstrate design experience on projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to projects that may be ordered under this contract. The relevant scope of work shall have been performed by the proposed design firm(s). Failure to submit relevant projects for all proposed Lead Design Firms (see definition) may result in a lower rating for this factor.

For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as new construction, renovation, and/or repair of heavy horizontal and civil engineering construction projects, by design-build or design-bid-build, with a construction cost of $300,000 or greater.

Examples of relevant design projects are projects similar in scope to: outdoor shooting and combat training ranges and terrains; canals, channels, dams, and embankments; erosion control and/or storm drainage retention/detention basins; earthwork and grading; landfills; ammunition magazines; irrigation and landscaping; recreational fields and parks; and tunneling and horizontal directional drilling.

In addition, the Offeror shall meet the following minimum requirements:

At least one (1) of the relevant design projects shall demonstrate the design team’s experience with new construction.

At least one (1) of the relevant design projects shall demonstrate the design team’s experience with design‐build (see definition) construction.

Submit at least one (1) relevant design project with a construction cost of $3,000,000 or above.

Demonstrate design experience in at least three (3) of the following types of work:

o Outdoor shooting or combat training ranges and terrains o Canals, channels, dams, or embankments o Erosion control and/or storm drainage retention/detention basins (Only projects that are stand‐alone erosion control or storm water management projects will be considered to meet this requirement. Other projects, such as buildings, that include erosion control or storm water management will not be considered to meet this requirement.)

o Earthwork & Grading (Only projects containing a minimum of 100,000 cubic yards earthwork & grading will be considered to meet this requirement. Projects with minimal site work will not be considered to meet this requirement.)

o Landfills o Ammunition magazines o Irrigation, landscaping, recreational fields and/or parks o Tunneling & horizontal directional drilling
