MULTIPLE AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT (MACC) INDEFINITE-

DELIVERY INDEFINITE-QUANTITY (IDIQ)

L-1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This solicitation is issued for the acquisition of a Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) to support Davis-Monthan AFB and Luke AFB construction requirements. The Government intends to execute a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract. This acquisition is a Competitive 8(a) set aside. Proposals may only be submitted by 8(a) firms, registered in the North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) of 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. This competitive acquisition will utilize the source selection procedures in accordance with 15.3 as supplemented by the DoD Source Selection Procedures referenced in DFARS 215.300 and the DAFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3 to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision.

The Government will award one contract from this solicitation to each of the five (5) highest technically rated offerors with fair and reasonable pricing (FAR 15.304(c)), who are also determined responsible (IAW FAR 9), after evaluation in accordance with the solicitation (FAR 52.215-1(f)). Additionally, the next five (5) highest technically rated offerors with fair and reasonable pricing will be identified as on-boarding candidates in accordance with (IAW) Section H. Future requirements will be competed among the awardees based on the work defined in individual task orders. Nonperforming contractors may be offboarded IAW Section H of the resulting contract. If an active contractor is off-boarded, an inactive contractor may be on-boarded. Future onboarding is based on CO discretion if the volume of requirements necessitates additional contractors. Period of performance for the MACC includes a five (5) year ordering period with two (2) one (1) year option periods. Awardees are required to recertify their small business status prior to the completion of the fifth year of the contract IAW FAR 52.219-28.

To determine an offeror’s price fair and reasonable, a fully designed sample project is included in the solicitation (FBNV190009 -- Construct SFS Addition Bldg. 1358). This project is for evaluation purposes only and is not presently funded. Each offeror will submit an AF 3052 (Attachment 16) to be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and past performance standpoint.

However, the Contracting Officer may conduct discussions IAW DFARS 215.306, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

Offerors shall not submit more than one offer as the prime in response to this solicitation.

Offerors submitting a prime proposal are not permitted to submit a separate proposal as a subcontractor, or team member to another prime. Small business subcontractors are permitted to support multiple primes.

Only offers submitted in accordance with these instructions will be accepted. The Government will retain one copy of each Offeror’s proposal (FAR 4.8).

In accordance with FAR 52.204-7, System for Award Management, Offerors that do not have an active registration in System for Award Management (SAM.gov) at https://sam.gov at the time proposals are due will not be considered for award.

Proposals shall be clear and concise and shall include sufficient detail to permit the Government to adequately validate proposal statements.

The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation at any point before contract award.

In the event this solicitation is canceled, the Government has no obligation to reimburse Offerors for any costs incurred.

Post-award notices and debriefings will be conducted IAW FAR 15.505 and 15.506, as applicable.

SECTION M

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

FA487724R0003

MULTIPLE AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT (MACC) INDEFINITE-

DELIVERY INDEFINITE-QUANTITY (IDIQ)

M-1 GENERAL INFORMATION

M-1.1 Basis for Award This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3 and DoD Source Selection Procedures, as supplemented. In this procurement, the Government will determine best value based on an objective assessment and validation of the HTRO. Price will be evaluated during this source selection for evaluation purposes only (FAR 15.304) for fair and reasonableness. Additionally, price will be evaluated at the individual task order level.

M-1.1.1 Number of Contracts to be Awarded. The Government intends to award to five (5) 8(a) businesses who are validated as the highest technically rated, have a fair and reasonable evaluated price, and are also determined responsible IAW FAR 9. Additionally, the next five (5) highest technically rated offerors, who are also determined responsible IAW FAR 9, will be available for on-boarding if the Government requires additional vendors.

M-1.1.2 IDIQ Ceiling. The overall ceiling of the IDIQ is estimated at $350M for five (5) years with two (2) option years. The total value of all task orders awarded under the IDIQ will not exceed this amount. Funding will be determined at the individual task order level.

M-1.1.3 Minimum Quantity Task Order. An initial task order will be awarded to each IDIQ contractor for the Post-Award Conference Meeting. The dollar value is set at $250.00 and will satisfy the minimum quantity requirement. There is no guarantee of any task order beyond the minimum task order.

M-1.2 Proposal Compliance and Offeror Responsibility

M-1.2.1 Proposal Substantiation. Unsubstantiated or misleading claims for any Prior Technical Experience evaluation element could result in the Government determining that the Offeror’s proposed self-rated score is artificially inflated. If this were to occur, the Government will unilaterally downward adjust the Offeror’s score, potentially down to zero points.

M-1.2.2 Proposal Compliance. Offerors shall meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, submission requirements, representations and certifications, and other instructions identified within the solicitation. Offerors shall comply with content required within each of the proposal sections. Failure to comply with any requirement of the solicitation may result in the Government determining the Offeror to be unresponsive and ineligible for award.

The Government will review each Offeror’s proposal to ensure all required documentation was provided in response to the solicitation. The Government will rely on the documentation provided by the Offeror to facilitate the Contracting Officer’s determination of proposal compliance.

M-1.2.3 Offeror Responsibility. No award shall be made to an Offeror unless the Contracting Officer determines them to be responsible. To be determined responsible, an Offeror shall meet the general standards described in FAR 9.104-1. The Contracting Officer may consider information provided within any section of the proposal, and other information, not limited to proposal information, when making the determination of responsibility.

M-2 EVALUATION FACTORS AND METHODOLOGY

The Government will evaluate quality (FAR 15.304(c)(2)) in this source selection through consideration of the Offeror’s Prior Technical Experience (PTE) as a factor. A two-step process will be used to determine which Offeror’s proposals are responsive and qualified to receive an award.

M-2.1 Step One – Business Section

The Government will review the entire proposal for compliance with Section L. Any work samples submitted that do not meet the criteria of Section L-3.2.1-3.2.4 will either be eliminated entirely or have non-complaint pages removed prior to evaluation. Once the Government has determined the proposal to be responsive, the Government will then evaluate the Offeror's self-rated technical proposal.

M-2.2 Step Two – Scoring Validation

The HTRO methodology requires the Offeror to submit a self-rated score based on the objective criteria described in Section L. Assessing technical excellence is inherent to the HTRO methodology with price. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's self-rated technical proposal by validating the proposed Self-Scoring Worksheet. The Government will validate the Offeror's self-rated scores using the work samples provided. If the Government is unable to find the substantiating information within the referenced page, paragraph, table, etc., the Government will not search further for the substantiating information. If the Government is unable to validate that Offeror's self-rated score based on the work samples, the Government will unilaterally downward adjust the Offeror's self-rated score, potentially down to zero points. The Government will only adjust the Offeror's self-rated score downward, not upward. Such adjustments are within the sole discretion of the Government and are based upon the substantiation of the self-rated score provided by the Offeror. Further, the Government will evaluate the contractor's price proposal for fair and reasonableness as a pass/fail criteria. Awards will be made to the top five

(5) Government-validated technical proposal scorers with fair and reasonable pricing, with the next top five (5) scorers being available for on-boarding.

In the event of a tie, the Offeror with the lowest fair and reasonable pricing will be ranked higher.
