519 01 32
Based on our review of Specification Section 01 32 17 and 01 11 00, and the assumption that the Standard Calendar and the Security Calendar are functionally equivalent given that the entire site lies within a Controlled Industrial Area, we calculate the total number of non-working days per year to be 102. This total accounts for the following days: 1. Weather Delays: Spec 01 32
17.00 20, paragraph 1.10.1.8 requires use of NOAA climate data to establish a "Weather Calendar" based on the historical average number of days per year with precipitation > 0.10". Based on NOAA data for the project area, this equates to 77 days per year. 2.
Restricted Access Periods: Spec 01 11 00, paragraph 1.10(f), requires the schedule to account for 47 working days during which the contractor will not have access to the site over the course of the project. This equates to approximately 9 days per year based on a 5-year project duration. 3. Hurricane Events: Spec 01 32 17.00 20, paragraph 1.10.1.8 also requires inclusion of schedule allowances for Condition of Readiness (COR) hurricane events. These are estimated to result in up to 10 additional lost workdays per year depending on storm severity.
We request clarification on whether these hurricane-related allowances should be integrated into the project calendar as non-working days or if they are to be captured separately as allowance activities within the schedule. 4. Security Restrictions: Spec 01 32
17.00 20 establishes a "Security Calendar" that includes one restricted workday every two months due to anticipated security-related delays. This results in an additional 6 non-working days per year. Please confirm that the Security Calendar is synonymous with the Standard Calendar. Please confirm that it is the Owner's intent for the Proposal Schedule and Baseline Schedule to incorporate all of these calendar-based restrictions.
The contractor should use multiple differing calendars; at a minimum security calendar needs to be maintained for outdoor activities which are likewise affected by weather events. Hurricane Conditions of Readiness events apply to all calendars used for scheduling on-site construction activities and are to be considered non-working days.

is not enough information provided in the bid documents for the proposers to determine the most effective means and methods, and therefore, provide a reliable Unit Price for removal.

Amendment 005 changed the review period for RFIs from 5 working days to 15 working days for the contracting officer. On similar jobs of this size and complexity, there can be upwards of a thousand RFIs with multiple iterations of clarification/answers. Due to the aggressive schedule that is required for this project, please reevaluate and reduce the review period to 5 working days or less.
The review time for RFI responses will remain 15 work days. It has been the Government’s experience on projects of similar size and complexity that most of the RFI responses will take less than 5 work days. However occasionally some responses require field investigations an additional engineering services that will add extra time to the response.

1.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF CONTRACT
Description of Work:
This project will include the following major components for the P1062 Dry Dock 3 Modernization: rebuilding the caisson seats with deep foundations, refurbishing the dock floor and walls, pinning the concrete floor, constructing a wet well and pump house to replace the existing pumpwell, rerouting all utilities into a new utility trench around the dock perimeter, and replacing the dry dock’s surrounding rail systems.
• Cofferdam: A temporary cofferdam at the entrance to Dry Dock 3 will be constructed to allow the contractor to perform demolition and construction under dry working conditions.
The cofferdam consists of a continuous steel pipe pile wall (SPP Wall) driven side-by-side to form a continuous wall. The wall will support approximately 40 feet of water on the riverside. The cofferdam will be constructed approximately 8 feet east of the dry dock entrance (in the river), beyond the existing timber pile supported apron. In the space between the dry dock entrance and the cofferdam, riverbed soils will be dredged and replaced with a tremie concrete slab to seal off upward water flow. In addition, composite sheet pile/concrete closure walls will be constructed on either side of the dock entrance, connecting the SPP Wall to the dock proper and therefore closing off the entrance.
• Dry Dock: The floors and walls of the dry dock will be reconstructed by initially removing all the dry dock’s existing granite blocks (ranging from 15 inches thick along the floor and up to 50 inches thick along the altars) and a minimum of 12 inches of existing concrete beneath the granite. The coping/floodwall elevation will be the entrance, will have a tie-down system to resist increased uplift demands due to higher flood events.
The dry dock’s walls and floor will be reconstructed with reinforced concrete to provide improved capacity accommodating the increased “superflood” load condition and reestablishing the 2009 FCR design blocking loads.
• Wet Well: Selective demolition of the existing below grade Pumpwell is required to accommodate the discharge piping for the Wet Well and Pump House. This includes the removal of the existing ladders, catwalks, platforms, stairs, concrete walls/slabs and fiberglass grating as required by structural work.
2. BASIS FOR AWARD
2.1 The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with Offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the Offeror submitting the proposal determined to represent the best value—the proposal most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.
2.2 As stated in the solicitation, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)).
The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
2.3 The tradeoff process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated Offeror.
2.4. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors (Factors, 1, 2,3, and 4) are of equal importance to each and, when combined are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 5). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are significantly more important than price.
The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non- price factors considered.
2.5. Any proposal found to have a deficiency in meeting the stated solicitation requirements or performance objectives will be considered ineligible for award, unless the deficiency is corrected through discussions. An Unacceptable rating in any of the non-price factors will result in an overall rating of “Unacceptable” for the non-price factors, unless corrected through discussions.
3. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
FAR Part 9.6 defines Contractor team arrangements. Contractor team arrangement, as used in this subpart, means an arrangement in which -- (1) Two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime Contractor; or (2) A potential prime Contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified Government contract or acquisition program.
If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent /LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract in order for the experience information of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies to be considered. The proposal shall state specific commitments of technical resources (e.g., personnel, management, equipment that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies shall commit to the performance of this contract).
In particular, the proposal shall clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the Offeror in the performance of the contract.
Vague commitments to support are likely insufficient; rather, they must demonstrate intent/manner of actual performance on the contract action being solicited.
The Offeror shall submit a signed copy of partnership agreement, teaming agreement, or letter of commitment for each member of the Offeror’s team (e.g., partner, team member, subcontractor, parent company, subsidiary, or other affiliated company, etc.) whose projects are submitted to demonstrate Construction or Design Experience. The Government will not consider any project submitted for Factor 1 if it was performed by a firm other than the Offeror and there is no supporting partnership agreement, teaming agreement, or letter of commitment. Additional joint venture agreements are not permitted on MAC Task Orders. Note: See specific restrictions on the use of subcontractor experience under Factor 1.
1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:
Factor 1 – Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Schedule
Factor 3 – Small Business Utilization Factor 4 – Safety
Factor 5 – Past Performance
The distinction between corporate experience and past performance is corporate experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.
2. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the technical factors Factor 1
Corporate Experience, Factor 2 Schedule, Factor 3 Small Business Utilization, and Factor 4 Safety are of equal importance to each other and, when combined, are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor 5. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-price evaluation factors) are significantly more important than price.
The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.
3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor
(a) Non-price Factors:
Factor 1, Corporate Experience:
(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:
The Offeror shall complete the attached Construction and Design Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment C) for each construction project submitted and complete all individual blocks. Attachment C and all information therein is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to evaluate experience. The Government will evaluate only the information provided in Attachment C and all other information provided on other than Attachment C will not be considered. The Offeror may expand individual blocks on the Attachment C; however, Attachment C for each project submitted shall not exceed a total of four (4) single-sided pages or, two (2) double-sided pages, 8.5” x 11”, 1” margin left/right/top/bottom, and 10-point font or larger.

1. Construction Experience: Submit up to a maximum of five (5) construction projects similar in size, scope, and complexity to this project and substantially completed (at least 75%) within the last 15 years that demonstrate the Offeror’s experience. Similar projects include large waterfront facilities such as dry docks, piers, bulkheads, wharves, quay walls, bridges or water-retaining structures. At least one project must be valued at $100 million or more. If the Offeror submits more than five (5) projects for evaluation, the Government will evaluate the first five (5) projects submitted and disregard any other project information. The construction projects submitted must collectively demonstrate experience in all three (3) of the following individual items. All individual items do not have to be within a single project scope.
a. New construction of shoring systems or combi-wall systems to construct in-water structures
b. Construction of waterfront utility systems for ship berthing or other waterfront operations
c. Deep excavation projects (e.g. wet wells)
Failure to demonstrate experience in all individual items shall be considered a deficiency.
A relevant construction project is further defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.
If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects may be submitted for the Joint Venture members. If a project was performed by a JV, and not all partners from that JV are on the JV proposed for this contract, the offeror shall clearly demonstrate what portion of the work was performed by the JV member offering on this contract and shall not include work performed by the JV as a whole.
The JV member proposed for this contract shall specifically address field work performed by that JV member including field staffing and direct field work oversight. The JV member proposed for this contract shall also address home office management performed by that JV member including the number/percentage of employees provided for the overall contract by the JV members as well as the overall percentage of work performed by the JV member. The Offeror shall also submit a SIGNED copy of the Joint Venture agreement indicating the proposed participation of each Joint Venture member. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.
If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract. The proposal shall state specific commitments of technical resources (e.g. personnel, equipment) that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies commit to the performance of this contract. In particular, the proposal will clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member that will be located at the worksites and company offices in the city/area of the project. The proposal shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/ parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the Offeror in performance of the contract. The Offeror MAY NOT utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor unless specialized subcontractor experience is stated as acceptable. Failure to submit this information may result in a lower rating.
(b) Basis of Evaluation:
The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. The assessment of the Offeror’s relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the Offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. The Government will only review five (5) projects for construction. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) for Construction Experience will not be considered.
Proposals demonstrating experience self-performing relevant features of work may be considered more favorably than those that do not demonstrate self-performance.

The above completion dates in item (3)(i). shall be reflected in this schedule along with major construction activities, milestones, and critical path items. The schedule shall be on 11”x17” pages, single-sided, and there is no page limit.
NOTES:
• [REMOVED]
• Narrative and schedule are not allowed to propose variances from Contract requirements.
For example, Offerors are not allowed to propose contractual conditions that shift schedule risk to the Government or propose limitations on the ability of the Government to properly administer the contract.
• Failure to address any of the submission requirements will result in a deficiency.
• The assumed award date is stated for proposal evaluation purposes only and does not infer or guarantee that an award will be made by that date.
The Offeror's proposed construction completion dates, project schedule, and narratives will be evaluated to ensure timely completion of the project within the dates specified. The evaluation will consider how well the Offeror understands the major construction activities, task predecessors, and critical path items to execute the project.
Construction duration that meets the duration specified may be given more favorable consideration.
Completion dates that are ahead of the dates specified should not be provided and will not be considered.
The project narrative may show or explain the methodologies or innovative approaches that will be implemented to accelerate delivery, while fully mitigating risks to project execution and maintaining quality of construction.
Proposals that identify innovative approaches and lessons learned from previous completed projects that will be applied to this project to mitigate schedule risk and recover schedule time in the event of project delays may be rated more favorably.
