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 (3) are considered the most important and are equal among themselves; criteria (4) and (5) are of slightly less importance and are equal among themselves; criteria (6) and (7) are of slightly less importance still and are equal among themselves; and criterion (8) is of the least importance and will be used as a tie-breaker among technically equal firms.

Specific evaluation criteria include:

1. Specialized Experience

2. Professional Qualifications and Technical Competence

3. Program Management and Capacity

4. Past Performance

5. Quality Control Program

6. Commitment to Small Business

7. Firm Location

8. Volume of Work

Criterion 1 —Specialized Experience (SF330, Part I, 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. Global or Multi-Regional Planning (such as GSIPs, Integrated Products Support Plans, and Functional Plans),

a. Global or Multi-Regional planning is defined as infrastructure planning that is strategic in nature, crosses regions and performs analysis that provides actionable recommendations, develops courses of action, or prioritizes identified infrastructure capability gaps, that influence decision making across multiple regions. Repetitious planning actions, such as Basic Facility Requirements or Asset evaluations, performed in two or more regions under a single task order in which each planning action is separate, and only affects the individual installation or region where the planning action is proposed, will not qualify as global and multi-regional planning.

2. Regional Planning (such as Regional Integration Plans, (RIPs))

a. Regional Planning is defined as infrastructure planning that is strategic in nature, crosses installations within a single region and performs analysis that leads to actionable recommendations, develops courses of action, or prioritizes identified infrastructure capability gaps that influence decision making across multiple installations across a single region. Repetitious planning actions, such as Basic Facility Requirements or Asset evaluations, performed at two or more installations under a single task order in which each planning action is separate, and only affects the individual installation where the planning action is proposed, will not qualify as regional planning.

3. Installation Planning (such as IDPs, Encroachment Action Plans, Traffic/Parking Movement Studies, and Siting/Land Use Studies),

4. Business Case Analysis Studies,

5. 1391 Project Planning Documentation,

6. Shore Facility Planning System (Asset Evaluations/Basic Facility Requirements/Facility Planning Documents), and, Firms may be considered more favorably by demonstrating the following:

1. Specialized experience within the primary geographic area of this contract, the United States West Coast, Mid-West States and Alaska (the geographic areas within the AORs of Navy Regions Southwest and Northwest) and may be evaluated more favorably commensurate with the extent of their experience in the various locations covered in the primary geographic area.

Submission requirements: Provide a maximum of eight (8) projects completed within the five (5) years immediately preceding the date of issuance of this notice that best demonstrate specialized experience of the proposed offeror 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 are 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 (offeror) proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects performed by proposed subcontractors and submitted under this Criterion as experience will not be considered. 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 I, Section F, block 25, “Firm Name.”

Include a contract number or project identification number in block 21. Include an e-mail address and phone number for the point of contact in block 23(c). In block 24, include in the project description the contract period of performance, award contract value, current contract value, and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above. If the contractor served as a subcontractor on a project, indicate the value of the work that firm provided towards the performance of the overall project. If a project was performed by a joint venture, and not all joint venture partners are on the team proposed for this contract, the firm/team should specifically address the work performed by the joint venture partner offering/teaming on this contract. Likewise, if the firm/team member worked as a subcontractor on a project, the description should clearly describe the work actually performed by the firm/team member proposed for this contract and the roles and responsibilities of each 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, a project must be submitted for each joint venture partner, not to exceed a total of eight (8) projects. Firms failing to provide at least one project from each joint venture partner 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 single 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.

Failure to provide requested data, accessible points of contact, or valid phone numbers may result in a firm being excluded from evaluation or considered less qualified.

All information for Criterion 1 should be submitted in the SF330, Part I, Section F of the.

The Government WILL NOT consider information submitted in addition to Part I, Section F in evaluation of Criterion 1.

Key personnel are individuals who will have major contract or project management responsibilities and/or will provide unusual or unique expertise. Failure to provide a balanced workforce in the disciplines required to satisfy the requirements of the scope listed above will result in the firm being considered not qualified. Specific disciplines that must be included in key personnel are quality control; task order managers, project managers;

interdisciplinary facility planners; engineers; program managers; cost estimators; and economist.

Submission Requirements:

SF330, Part I, Section E. Provide resumes for all proposed key personnel that illustrate experience in the work proposed under this contract.
