E. Volume 5 – Past Performance (Factor 4) (24 Page Limit):

1. Offerors shall submit no more than four (4) relevant examples of Government or commercial contracts/work. Relevant means the work has a logical connection to the work described in the PWS. Examples shall consist of work in progress or performed within the last (3) years of proposal due date and demonstrates ability to perform the work identified in the past performance areas, as listed in subparagraph three (3) below.

2. A past performance reference must be a single Government or commercial contract/work effort. Since an umbrella contract (e.g. IDIQ) does not result in actual performance, it is not considered a valid reference; only the work performed on the resulting delivery/task order will be accepted. Individual delivery/task orders awarded against a basic contract will be considered a single past performance example. If CPARS are only reported at the IDIQ level, this should be noted. Offerors should provide a clear explanation of the relevancy of each reference submitted; however, the Government will not be bound by those statements in making its own relevance determinations.

3. Offerors should address all past performance areas identified below on (Atch 13).

Note: A single past performance reference is not required to reflect performance in every area listed. However, the Government will give more consideration for a reference reflecting performance in more than one performance area within a single reference. Offerors are to provide past performance information in the following performance areas as it relates to DoD, federal, state and local Government, or commercial experience:

a. Knowledge and experience in performing traffic engineering studies.

b. Knowledge and experience of traffic engineering software and tools, i.e.

Highway Capacity Software or Synchro (HCM based); Microstation CAD software; ESRI, ARCGIS or GIS application; and Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) based travel demand modeling, traffic projections and trip generation.

c. Knowledge and experience with civil sector transportation guidelines, standards, and procedures from American Association of State Highway Transportation Office (AASHTO), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); State Departments of Transportation and ITE.

d. Knowledge and experience with operation, design and threat analysis of entry control facilities or access control points for military installations;

application of DoD and Service oriented traffic control and entry/access control facilities standards/guidelines/publications (i.e. UFC, AR, AFMAN, OPNAVINST, MCO and SDDCTEA tools and publications);

and antiterrorism and force protection guidelines and standards.

4. Offerors are responsible for ensuring Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ)

(Atch 14) are sent to the POCs for each of the Government or commercial contract/work effort(s) referenced. PPQs will be accepted for no more than the four

(4) past performance references provided. The Government will only accept questionnaires from the POCs. The Government will only accept questionnaires from the references listed on the Past Performance Reference Sheet (Atch 13).

5. Offerors are to submit a letter of consent from principal subcontractor(s) to allow discussion of their past performance. Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. With your proposal response, provide a letter from your principal subcontractor(s) performing major or critical aspects of the requirement consenting to release of their past performance information to the prime offeror. The letters of consent do not count towards the page limit for this volume.

6. Evaluation Approach:

A. This is a competitive best value subjective trade-off. Evaluations will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.3. All non price factors are considered equal and when combined are approximately equal to price; within Technical and Staffing, Subfactors 1, 2 and 3 are of equal importance. The Government will utilize a Subjective Trade Off source selection process as described below to identify the Offeror who represents the best value to the Government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offerors:

Factor 1 – Price Factor 2 – Technical Capability (subfactors are of equal importance) Subfactor 1 – Task Order 0001 Technical Approach Subfactor 2 – Task Order 0002 Technical Approach Subfactor 3 – Sample Task Order 0003 Technical Approach Factor 3 – Staffing

Subfactor 1 – Task Order 0001 Staffing Approach Subfactor 2 – Task Order 0002 Staffing Approach Subfactor 3 – Sample Task Order 0003 Staffing Approach Factor 4 - Past Performance

7. Evaluation Process:

A. The Government may evaluate proposals and award a contract without conducting discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, written and/or oral, with Offeror’s if determined to be in the Government’s best interest. The Contracting Officer may limit the competitive range for purposes of efficiency. The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending on the quality of the proposals submitted and subject to the availability of funds.

B. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer),whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

C. The Government intends to award a single source IDIQ contract as well as Task Order

One and Task Order Two resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation that is the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. This may result in an award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors. However, the Government will not pay a price premium that it considers to be disproportionate to the benefits associated with the proposed margin of superiority. By submission of its offer, the Offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations, and technical requirements, in addition those identified as evaluation criteria listed in paragraph 8 below.

8. Evaluation Factors: The Government will evaluate Offeror’s proposals for General Compliance and the following factors (in capital letters)/subfactors (indented below its respective factor)

A. Factor 1 – Price Offerors’ proposals will be reviewed to determine the extent to which the pricing elements of the offer have been addressed. Proposals will be checked to ensure continuity and traceability of pricing to the technical effort and between the initial proposal and all revisions thereto, with emphasis on the adequacy of the rationale for any changes.

The review will determine the adequacy of the offer in fulfilling the requirements of the RFP and in response to clarifications and deficiencies identified by the government.

1. Reasonableness. Price analysis will be conducted using one or more of the techniques under FAR 15.404-1(b) to determine whether the Offeror’s proposed labor rates on the IDIQ and the prices on Task Order One and Task Order Two are fair and reasonable.

2. Realistic. Price analysis will be conducted on the IDIQ labor rates and Task Order 0001 to determine if the Offeror has a clear understanding and sound approach to ensure prices are realistic.

3. Options. FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services Clause is included. The

Government will calculate the Offeror’s Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for Task Order One by adding together the total price of the base and all option periods and the total price for the 6-month extension of services. The Government will calculate the pricing for the 6-month extension of services period, which will be based on the unit prices proposed in the Offeror’s price for the final option period. The Government will calculate the Offeror’s TEP for Task Order Two by adding together the total price of the base and the total price for the 6-month extension of services. However, the Extension of Services period will not be identified in the resulting task orders as an option. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option.

Pricing for Sample Task Order 0003 will not be submitted.

B. Factor 2 – Technical Capability Technical Capability will be evaluated at the subfactor level. The Government may assign strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses and deficiencies as identified in Table 1 below, to the Offeror’s Technical Capability proposal.

Each Offeror’s proposal will be given a combined Technical/Risk Rating as identified in Table 2 below for each subfactor. The color/adjectival ratings depict how well the Offeror’s proposal meets the solicitation requirements.

TABLE 2

COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATING METHOD

Color

Rating Adjectival

Rating

Description Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

TABLE 1

STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, SIGNIFICANT WEAKNESSES AND DEFICIENCY

DEFINITIONS

Rating Description

Strength An aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Weakness A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001

Significant Weakness

Proposal has a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001

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

See FAR 15.001

Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Technical Capability as follows:

1. Subfactor 1 – Task Order 0001 Technical Approach: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Technical Approach to determine if the Offeror submitted a sound and logical approach that ensures timely support for accomplishing all tasks of Task Order One in accordance with PWS requirements.

2. Subfactor 2 – Task Order 0002 Technical Approach: The Government will

3. Subfactor 3 – Sample Task Order 0003 Technical Approach: The Government will

C. Factor 3 – Staffing Approach Staffing Approach will be evaluated at the subfactor level.

The Government may assign strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses and deficiencies as identified in Table 1 above, to the Offeror’s Staffing proposal. Each Offeror’s proposal will be given a combined Technical/Risk Rating as identified in Table 2 above for each subfactor. The color/adjectival ratings depict how well the Offeror’s proposal meets the solicitation requirements.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Staffing Approach as follows:

1. Subfactor 1 – Task Order 0001 Staffing Approach: The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Staffing Approach to determine if the Offeror submitted a sound plan which provides staffing, with types and numbers of positions proposed, that are sufficient to ensure successful performance of the requirements based on the Offeror’s unique Technical Approach.

2. Subfactor 2 – Task Order 0002 Staffing Approach : The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Staffing Approach to determine if the Offeror submitted a sound plan which provides staffing, with types and numbers of positions proposed, that are sufficient to ensure successful performance of the requirements based on the Offeror’s unique Technical Approach.

3. Subfactor 3 – Sample Task Order 0003 Staffing Approach : The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Staffing Approach to determine if the Offeror submitted a sound plan which provides staffing, with types and numbers of positions proposed, that are sufficient to ensure successful performance of the requirements based on the Offeror’s unique Technical Approach.

D. Factor 4 – Past Performance:

1. Past Performance will be evaluated as a measure of the Government’s confidence in the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the requirements of the solicitation based on recent and relevant past performance efforts. The Government will first determine if the effort is considered recent, which means the effort was performed within the last three years (of the proposal due date). The Government will perform an independent assessment of relevancy of the data provided or obtained. Relevancy, as it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the service/support effort to the scope and magnitude of effort and complexity this solicitation requires, and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance. Relevant past performance means the references have a logical connection to the work described in the performance areas identified in paragraph 8.D.5 below.

2. A single past performance reference is not required to reflect performance in every area listed. However, the Government will give more consideration for a reference reflecting performance in more than one performance area within a single reference.

3. While the Government will consider past performance information on relevant projects performed for federal, state, and local Governments, as well as in the commercial sector, past performance conducted within the DOD will receive greater consideration when assigning a past performance confidence assessment rating than those for work performed for organizations other than DOD.

4. Past performance from predecessor companies or principal subcontractors performing major or critical aspects of this requirement will be weighted the same (equally as important) as the past performance information for the Offeror.

5. Offerors are to provide past performance information in the following performance areas as it relates to DoD, federal, state and local Government, or commercial experience:

a. Knowledge and experience in performing traffic engineering studies.

b. Knowledge and experience of traffic engineering software and tools, i.e. Highway Capacity Software or Synchro (HCM based);

Microstation CAD software; ESRI, ARCGIS or GIS application; and Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) based travel demand modeling, traffic projections and trip generation.

c. Knowledge and experience with civil sector transportation guidelines, standards, and procedures from American Association of State Highway Transportation Office (AASHTO), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); State Departments of Transportation and

ITE.

d. Knowledge and experience with operation, design and threat analysis of entry control facilities or access control points for military installations; application of DoD and Service oriented traffic control and entry/access control facilities standards/guidelines/publications (i.e. UFC, AR, AFMAN, OPNAVINST, MCO and SDDCTEA tools and publications); and antiterrorism and force protection guidelines and standards.

6. The relevancy of each effort will be considered in determining the overall confidence assessment rating for each Offeror. The following definitions will be utilized to determine the relevancy of each past performance effort:

TABLE 3 - RELEVANCY RATINGS

Rating Description

Very Relevant (VR) Present/Past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires

Relevant (R) Present/Past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires

Somewhat Relevant (SR) Present/Past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires

Not Relevant (NR) Present/Past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires

7. After all past performance work efforts have been assigned individual relevancy ratings, the Government will assign a single Performance Confidence Assessment rating. The assigned rating will reflect the Government’s overall confidence in the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform this effort considering performance on previous efforts, information identified by each contractor, Past Performance Questionnaires, and/or other information obtained by the Government. The Performance Confidence Assessment rating is based upon all of the information submitted/obtained and determined relevant by the Government, regardless of whether the information is for a prime or subcontractor. Past Performance which cannot be validated by a source other than the offeror will not be considered in the Past Performance Confidence Assessment.

8. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, that Offeror will receive an overall Performance Confidence Assessment rating of “Unknown Confidence (Neutral)” which will be considered neither favorably nor unfavorably. The Performance Confidence Assessment ratings are as follows:

TABLE 4 – PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT RATINGS

Rating Description

Substantial Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral)

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.
