1.3. Important Offeror Responsibility.

Offerors must read and consider the requirements of the entire request for proposal (RFP) solicitation, including all attachments and reference publications, before proposal preparation. RFPs are used in negotiated acquisitions to communicate Government requirements to prospective contractors and to solicit proposals. The pre-proposal conference(s) and site walk(s) provide opportunities to improve understanding of the requirement, RFP, investigate the site and conditions affecting the work, and identify questions for the Government to answer. The Government is not responsible for offeror business decisions to do other than fully read and consider the entire RFP solicitation, any failure to adequately investigate site conditions, or any failure to inquire about any questions before proposal submission.

1.4. No Assumption of Advance Government Knowledge.

When preparing proposals, offerors must assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of contractor facilities, capabilities, experience, or personnel. The Government evaluates the information included in the proposal; no assumptions are made about contractor facilities, capabilities, experience, or personnel. The sole exceptions to this rule are for past performance and responsibility determinations, where we may consider your proposal and additional information from any source during our evaluation.

1.5. Pre-Proposal Site Walk and Conference.

Each project data sheet may be up to five (5) pages long. The Government will not review or evaluate more than five (5) pages of data for each project, and a maximum of fifteen (15) pages in total for the three (3) projects submitted for the experience SubFactor. A page is the data shown on a single side of an 8 ½ x 11 inch piece of paper using the margins and font sizes established on the Exhibit G form.

Offerors must submit relevant projects that represent at least three (3) of the following four (4) general characteristics for evaluation:

1. A relevant design-build project with a final contract price of $5 million or more and that demonstrates at least some element of sustainable design and/or historic preservation.

2. A relevant design-build project that includes construction and accreditation in accordance with the Intelligence Community Directive (ICD)/ Intelligence Community Standard (ICS) 705 as a definable feature of work with a final contract price of $1 million or more.

3. A relevant design-build project that includes renovation/repair of a 2,500 sq ft space or larger in a secure office building with occupied adjacent spaces. The renovation/repair must include life safety, electrical, HVAC, and IT elements that required significant design coordination with stakeholders a final contract price of $1 million or more.

4. A relevant design-build project of the Offeror’s choice with a final contract price of $1 million or more that best represents the Offeror’s experience on a project of similar size, scope, and complexity to projects that may be ordered under the MACC II.

For purposes of evaluation, relevant projects for experience include design-build new construction, repair, and/or renovation of secure commercial and institutional facilities that were 100% complete within the five (5) years prior to the solicitation issue date. A project for purposes of evaluation is defined as a discrete design-build project with a single starting point and a single ending point of a delivered and accepted complete, usable project. Examples of relevant size, scope, and complexity include design-build work for administration buildings, command headquarters buildings, operations centers, training facilities, communication facilities, maintenance/repair facilities, heating and refrigeration plants, and similar. The smallest value projects that are deemed relevant are valued at $1 million. Higher value projects are considered more complex than smaller value projects for evaluation purposes.

For Joint Venture Prime Offerors Only: If the offeror is a Joint Venture, project experience should be work completed by the Joint Venture legal entity. Joint Venture prime offerors are treated the same as all other prime offerors. If the Joint Venture entity does not have experience, projects may be submitted for each joint venture member if the Joint Venture entity can clearly establish why the project is relevant to Joint Venture experience as the prime offeror. If an offeror uses experience information from affiliates, subsidiaries, parent/LLC/LTD member companies, Exhibits G and H must demonstrate the affiliates, subsidiaries, parent/LLC/LTD member companies meaningful involvement of the offeror and the affiliates, subsidiaries, parent/LLC/LTD member companies in the project and relevance to the MACC II requirement or the project(s) will not be considered relevant or evaluated.

HUBZone small business concerns may not utilize the experience of large business concerns to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor. This prohibition does not apply to the offeror’s first tier subcontractor large business architect-engineer firms that were hired by the prime offeror as the designer of record for a contract or task order awarded to the HUBZone small business concern.

6.2. VOLUME II: FACTOR II -- PAST PERFORMANCE

The Offeror’s past performance proposal must address corporate past performance in performing projects similar in size and scope to the effort required by the MACC II Statement of Work (Design- Build projects). To be considered, all projects must be recent and relevant. (See Attachment 5, Past Performance Questionnaire.) To be recent, the projects referenced by the contractor must have been completed within three (3) years from the date of solicitation issuance or currently ongoing and have completed at least six (6) months of performance by solicitation issuance. If currently ongoing, the extent of actual performance will be considered in determining the project’s relevance.

C. The Offeror must submit with its proposal up to three (3) total projects that are representative of the

Offeror’s recent, relevant past performance.

2. The offeror must address the following for each project submitted for past performance evaluation:

a. The nature of the effort and period of performance

b. Information on the design-build team, including management and organizational structure, contractual arrangements, and lines of authority.

c. Discuss the design-build implementation approach utilized. Address proposed vs. actual schedule, including any concurrent design and construction activities.

You may not submit more than three (3) projects to support prime contractor past performance.

If the team consists of a construction contractor and a firm that serves as the designer of record, the three (3) projects must best represent the construction work of the teamed prime contractor.

3. To demonstrate the full range of teamed prime offeror capabilities, offerors may submit past performance data on recent and relevant contracts of teaming partners, affiliated companies or operating divisions within the parent company or joint ventures of the parent company when it is reasonable to attribute the experience of these past efforts to the proposed effort and when the document clearly demonstrates the resources (e.g. financial resources, overall oversight and management or other resources) of the parent or affiliated division will meaningfully affect performance of the instant acquisition.

B. The Government may consider past or current contracts (including Federal, State and local

Government and commercial) for efforts similar to the Government requirement. The Government may consider information provided on problems encountered on the identified contracts and associated corrective actions. Contractors with a negative past performance rating will be afforded an opportunity to address alleged deficiencies. The Government may also consider information obtained from any other sources when evaluating past performance. Failure of a contractor to disclose a relevant Government contract with poor past performance may affect the contractor's past performance rating. The evaluation may include additional information, not limited to, Government databases such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

C. The Government may consider past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant. Past performance information about the proposal as a prime contractor may be considered more significant and given more weight in the past performance evaluation.
