N/A
II.D. Technical Proposal
The Technical Proposal shall include the information requested below for the non-price factors described in Section VI.
1) Past Performance of Offeror This factor considers the past performance of the Offeror and proposed subcontractors for key trades. The Offeror shall submit references (a person or persons who may be contacted regarding the quality of the Offeror’s past performance) for comparable projects substantially completed within the last eight (8) years. References must be submitted for the same projects presented in “Relevant Experience” factor below. The Offeror must provide the name, title, company name, current address, current phone number, and current fax number for each reference. The Past Performance Questionnaire, Attach C, will be used to annotate contact and responses to verify information provided in relation to the Offeror’s past performance.
If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project before proposal closing date, the Offeror must complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the project. If the client requests, the client may submit a questionnaire directly to the Government's point of contact, via email at Maia.Albano@gsa.gov prior to proposal closing date. Offerors may resubmit questionnaires previously submitted with other proposals or may obtain an updated/new PPQ from a client for any submission. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs.
In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), previously submitted PPQ
Document: DB201A-SB/JULY 2020 information, and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from a variety of sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror. GSA will not maintain database of PPQs submitted by Offerors.
(2) Relevant Experience

(2) The total project construction cost at award of the construction contract(s) was not less than $100,000.
(3) Project involved construction in a partially or fully occupied building.
For each project presented in relation to this factor, the Offeror must explain how the characteristics of the project relate to the characteristics of this project. The similarity to this project is more important than the quantity of projects presented. For each project presented the Offeror shall submit the following data/information:
(a) Project Title
(b) Owner and/or Occupants(s)/Tenant(s)
(c) Location
(d) Description including GSF and/or OSF
(e) Special Features (Security System, Historical Consideration, etc.)

III.H. Contractor Performance Information
(1) Evaluating Contractor Performance: The General Services Administration is using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) module as the secure, confidential, information management tool to facilitate the performance evaluation process.
CPARS enables a comprehensive evaluation by capturing comments from both GSA and the contractor. The website for CPARS is Contractor Performance Assessment
Completed CPARS evaluations are sent to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) which may then be used by Federal acquisition community for use in making source selection decisions. PPIRS assists acquisition officials by serving as the single source for contractor past performance data.
(2) CPARS Registration: Each award requiring an evaluation must be registered in CPARS.
The contractor will receive several automated emails. Within thirty days of award, the contractor will receive an e-mail that contains user account information, as well as the applicable contract and order number(s) assigned. Contractors will be granted one user account to access all evaluations.
(3) Contractor CPARS Training: Contractors may sign up for CPARS training. A schedule of classes will be posted to the CPARS training site (CPARS Training) and updated as needed.
(4) Contractor Representative (CR) Role: All evaluations will be sent the Contractor Representative (CR) named on your award. The CR will be able to access CPARS to review and comment on the evaluation. If your CR is not already in the CPARS system, the contracting officer will request the name and email address of the person that will be responsible for the CR role on your award.
Once an evaluation is ready to be released the CR will receive an email alerting them the evaluation is ready for their review and comment. The email will indicate the time frame the CR has to respond to the evaluation; however, the CR may return the evaluation earlier than this date.
GSA shall provide for review at a level above the contracting officer (i.e., contracting director) to consider any disagreement between GSA and the contractor regarding GSA’s evaluation of the http://www.cpars.gov/ https://www.cpars.gov/webtrain.htm contractor. Based on the review, the individual at a level above the contracting officer will issue the ultimate conclusion on the performance evaluation.
Copies of the evaluations, contractor responses, and review comments, if any, will be retained as part of the contract file.
