SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS

1. For the referenced solicitation, it is stated that it will be primarily for mechanical and electrical services. As such, shouldn’t the appropriate NAICS code be 541330 for Engineering Services, instead of (or in addition to) 541310, Architectural Services?

The correct NAICS for the requirement is 541310. Yes, most of the issues to be addressed will fall into electrical and mechanical (NAICS Code 541330); however, they are not the only services required. The requirements of the overall contract more align with Architectural services. This work would require support from various engineering discipline (ie electrical, mechanical, civil, environmental, fire protection, etc); however, overall project management would be under the lead of an architect.

2. Since this solicitation is being addressed using the SF 330 bidders will not be required to submit pricing information. Is that correct?

Yes, that is correct. No pricing information is required at this time.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

SELECTION CRITERIA: Firms responding to this synopsis will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firms to perform the required services in accordance with the published selection criteria.

Failure to comply with instructions, or provide complete information may affect the firm’s evaluation or disqualify the firm from further consideration. Evaluation Criteria (1) through (4) are considered most important and equal among themselves; Criteria (5) and (6) are slightly less important and equal among themselves; and Criteria (7) is considered a tiebreaker. SF 330s will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firm based on criterion responses. Specific selection criteria include:

1. Specialized Experience

2. Professional Qualifications and Technical Competence

3. Past Performance

4. Geographic Location

5. Program Management and Capacity

6. Quality Control

7. Volume of Work

Criterion 1 - Experience (SF-330 Part 1 Section F):

Firms will be evaluated on specialized experience and technical competence in performance of services similar to those anticipated under this contract through evaluation of experience in:

1. Experience with design of repair projects involving HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and lighting systems, and room configurations to meet UFC admin space requirements.

Submission requirements: Provide a maximum of ten (10) projects completed within the past five (5) years.

Completed means that the design or design project package were completed within the past five (5) years immediately preceding the date of issuance of this notice and best illustrate specialized experience of the proposed team in the areas outlined above. Sufficient information to determine the date of completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered. If more than the maximum number of projects is submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted.

All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office/individual team member proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation. To enable verification, firms should include the DUNS number along with each firm name in the SF330 Part 1, Section F, block 25, “Firm Name”. Include a contract number or project identification number in block 21. Include an email address and phone number for the point of contact in block 23(c).

For projects performed as a subcontractor or a joint venture involving different partners, specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

NOTE: If the firm is a joint venture, projects performed by the joint venture should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the joint venture, projects must be submitted for each joint venture partner not to exceed a total of ten (10) projects. Firms failing to provide projects from all joint venture partners will be considered to have not met the requirements of the criterion.

Projects shall be submitted on the SF-330 at Part I, Section F and shall be completed projects. Projects not completed will be excluded from evaluation consideration. For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract is considered a project, as is a stand-alone contract award. Do not submit an IDIQ contract as an example project. Instead, list relevant task orders or stand-alone contract awards that fit within the definition above.

The Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract. Examples of project work submitted that do not conform to this requirement will not be evaluated.

All information for Criterion 1 should be submitted in the SF330, Part I, Section F. The Government WILL NOT consider information submitted in addition to Part 1, Section F in evaluation of Criterion 1.

Indicate participation of key personnel in example projects in the SF330, Part 1, Section G.

Criterion 3 - Past Performance (SF 330 Part 1 Section H):

Firms will be evaluated on past performance with Government agencies and private industry in terms of work quality, compliance with schedules, cost control, and stakeholder/customer satisfaction. Evaluating past performance and experience will include information provided in Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) or CPARS/ACASS for Criterion 1 projects and may include customer inquiries, Government databases, and other information available to the Government including contacts with points of contact in other criteria. NOTE:

Past performance information for projects listed under Criterion 1 may be given greater weight.

Submission Requirements: IF A COMPLETED CPARS/ACASS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment 2, included in this notice is provided for the firm or its team members to submit to the client for each project included under Criterion 1, Specialized Experience.
