The stamp time is determined from the NAVFAC Southwest facility mailroom time stamp and not any other time keeping equipment that the Offeror may own.

Immediately upon proposal delivery, the Offeror shall leave the Government facility. An Offeror that does not leave the premises may be requested to leave or escorted by security personnel.

3. Electronic Pre-Proposal Conference

Prospective Offerors are advised that the pre-proposal presentation is provided solely for the purpose of explaining the concepts involved in the project and the specifications, terms, and conditions of this solicitation.

(b) A list of Frequently-Asked-Questions (FAQ) with appropriate responses is also provided as an attachment to the RFP. As with the pre-proposal presentation, all firms are encouraged to review the FAQ. The FAQ should be viewed prior to submitting any questions regarding the RFP.

(c) Failure of a prospective Offeror to submit any questions will be construed to mean that the Offeror fully understands all requirements of the solicitation.

(d) All prospective Offerors are advised that this solicitation will remain unchanged unless it is amended in writing. Amendments will be posted on the website at: http://www.fbo.gov. However, if an amendment is issued, normal procedures relating to the acknowledgment and receipt of any such amendment as described in Contract Clause “Amendment to Solicitations” of this section shall be applicable.

Upon the successful submission of a VETS-100 and/or VETS-100A report(s), federal contractors will receive an email confirmation of receipt notification for their records. Offerors shall include a copy of their confirmation notification email in their proposal as verification of submission. If this requirement is not applicable to your firm, provide a statement that your firm does not have any contracts subject to this requirement.

A contract cannot be awarded to a contractor that has not submitted a required annual form VETS-100A, Federal Contractor Veterans’ Employment Report (VETS-100 and/or VETS-100A Report) if subject to the reporting requirements of 38 U.S.C. 4212(d) for that fiscal year.

8. Incurred Expenses

SECTION 00210

BASIS OF AWARD AND EVALUATION FACTORS

1. BASIS OF AWARD

Selection of contractor(s) will be accomplished using Source Selection Procedures on the basis of Best Value to the Government, considering price and other factors combined. Interested firms are expected to review the RFP and if necessary, participate in a pre-proposal conference and site visit, provide proposed prices for the initial project, and provide proposal information requested to evaluate their technical and past performance factors.

The Two Phase Design-Build procedures of FAR 36.3 will be used for this procurement. Phase One of the solicitation is in accordance with FAR Part 36.3. Phase One evaluation will result in a determination of the most highly qualified Offerors. These Offerors will be requested to submit a Phase Two proposal. The maximum number of Offerors that will be selected to submit a Phase Two proposal is five (5), unless the contracting officer determines that a number greater than five (5) is in the Government’s interest and is consistent with the purposes and objectives of two-phase design-build contracting. Phase Two of the solicitation shall require submission of technical and price proposals by the Offerors selected in Phase One, which will be evaluated separately in accordance with Part 15. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contract(s) without discussions.

The Government anticipates awarding three (3) or more multiple award construction contracts, with a reserve to two

(2) or more highly qualified small businesses. Offerors are advised that those Offerors who are selected to proceed to Phase Two are not guaranteed receipt of a contract award. The Offerors whose proposals conforming to the solicitation are determined to be the most advantageous to the Government considering past performance, technical, and price factors. The Government reserves the right to award three or more contracts under this solicitation or to award only the initial project (Proposed Task Order 0001) identified in the RFP as a single-action contract. The Government reserves the right not to award the Proposed Task Order 0001. The Government reserves the right to substitute or add other design-build projects that meet the scope of the MACC.

The Government reserves the right to reject any or all basic contract offers at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any one or all Offerors; to award the contract to other than the Offeror submitting the lowest total price; and to award contracts to three or more Offerors submitting proposals determined by the Source Selection Authority to be the most advantageous to the Government.

OFFERORS ARE ADVISED THAT IT IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE THAT AN AWARD MAY BE MADE

WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS OR ANY CONTACT CONCERNING THE PROPOSALS RECEIVED.

Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable price and technical terms. Offerors should not assume that they would be contacted or afforded the opportunity to qualify, discuss, or revise their proposal.

Firms participating in the pre-proposal conference and site visit will not be compensated for their participation.

Successful Offerors will receive the following contract awards:

Best Value receives award with a minimum guarantee and the initial project, if the Government chooses to award it.

Second, third, and any additional selected contractor will each receive award with a minimum guarantee, and selection will be based on the same criteria as the first selection.

2. DEFINITIONS

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

WEAKNESS: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

SIGNIFICANT WEAKNESS: A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

STRENGTH: An aspect of a proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

ACCEPTABLE FEATURES: A proposed method or technique in the proposal that addresses solicitation requirements such that no further explanation or documentation is necessary.

PAST PERFORMANCE: Relates to how well an Offeror has performed; e.g., the quality of work accomplished, schedule compliance, customer satisfaction.

EXPERIENCE: Pertains to work performed by an Offeror, within the prescribed timeframe, which is the same or similar to the work that may be ordered under this contract in terms of size, scope, and complexity.

Experience is distinct from past performance (how well an Offeror has performed).

SUSTAINABLE FEATURES: Features in the design, construction, and operation of facilities with the goal of conserving resources and minimizing adverse effects on the environment while enhancing occupant productivity, minimizing energy use, improving quality and durability of materials, increasing recycling and use of recycled products, waste reduction, etc.

PROJECT: A design-build or design-bid-build construction activity or task, with a single starting point and a single ending point.

COMBINED PROJECT(S): Projects with multiple starting and ending points, performed under separate task orders, delivery orders, or multiple contracts combined in a single description. No credit will be given for work performed under MACC/IDIQ contracts in the aggregate or for multiple projects completed under more than one task/delivery order.

RENOVATION, REPAIR, ALTERATION PROJECT TYPES: Refers to projects where the work modifies existing facilities.

NEW CONSTRUCTION: Refers to creating entirely new facilities (or new expansions to existing facilities where a new structure and foundation is provided as part of the expansion).

100% COMPLETE:

For construction projects: The facility is completely constructed and ready for the intended use.

For design projects: 100% plans and specifications signed off by an Architect-Engineer and ready for construction with final cost estimate. Does not include any Post Construction Award Support (PCAS).

OFFEROR: Refers to the Contractor submitting the proposal as Offeror, including joint ventures, whose name appears in Block 14 of Standard Form (SF) 1442 (Solicitation, Offer and Award). In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the Offeror’s name cited on the SF 1442 and any other part of the proposal, the SF 1442 is the conclusive document in determining the Offeror who is submitting the proposal.

OFFEROR'S TEAM: Applies to the Offeror, the Offeror's outside Lead Design Firm, and/or in-house Lead Designer(s) only; does not include subcontractors or consultants.

LEAD DESIGN FIRM: Applies to the Offeror’s primary design consultant firm(s) and any in-house lead designer(s).

JOINT VENTURE (JV): A legal business entity formed between two or more companies (parties) to undertake the performance activities of a contract together.

FIVE-YEAR PERIOD: The prescribed timeframe for this solicitation that refers to the period of time for which projects may be submitted for experience or past performance. The five-year period is calculated by counting back five years from the initial RFP issuance date.

DESIGN-BUILD: Refers to combining design and construction in a single contract with one contractor.

Design-build projects require design of the project by a licensed professional (i.e. engineer, architect).

Projects that only require shop drawing level effort are not design-build projects.

DESIGN –BID-BUILD: Refers to the traditional delivery method where design and construction are sequential and contracted for separately with two contracts and two contractors.

SELF-PERFORM: Refers to performing relevant major trade work in-house without subcontractors. This does not include administrative or management functions. Relevant major trade work is that which is the same or similar to the work that may be ordered under this contract.

PAGE: Refers to one printed side of a piece of paper. (For example, 5 pieces of paper printed on both sides would result in 10 pages of narrative.)

3. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF THE EVALUATION FACTORS

The relative importance of the evaluation factors is as follows:

a. Phase One: Phase One shall consist of Factors 1, 2, 3 and 4. Factor 1 (Technical Approach) will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable for Factor 1, they will not be invited to participate in Phase Two.

Factors 2, 3, and 4 are of equal importance to each other.

b. Phase Two: In making the best value award decision in Phase Two, Factors 2-6 and price will be considered. The technical factors (2, 4, 5, and 6) are of equal importance to each other and when combined are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (Factor 3, Past Performance). The combined non-price factors (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) are approximately equal to 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, or low, as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government.

According to FAR 15.304, the evaluation factors that apply to this acquisition are a part of this RFP and are evaluated individually. The applicable evaluation factors and submission requirements are identified below.

4. EVALUATION FACTORS

The evaluation factors for this procurement are:

PHASE ONE Basis of Evaluation/Submission Requirements/Criteria Description for Each Factor:

(1) Using Exhibit “A” (Offeror Team Composition and Management), provide a narrative describing the proposed primary construction firm(s) and primary design firm(s) for this contract and the rationale for proposing this arrangement. Provide the role, responsibilities, and contractual relationships between the various firms (see FAR Subpart 9.6). The narrative shall also include a simple organizational chart that clearly identifies the lines of authority between the entities. If the experience of an entity is being claimed in Factor 2, the firm must be named in the above narrative and organizational chart.

The technical approach narrative shall be limited to one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages) excluding the organizational chart. The information requested in item #2 below is not included in this page limitation.

(2) In addition to the narrative, the Offeror shall submit a signed copy of a joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, teaming agreement, or letter of commitment for each member of the Offeror’s team identified above (e.g., joint venture member, partner, team member, subcontractor, parent company, subsidiary, or other affiliated company, etc.).

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The assessment of the Offeror’s technical approach will be used as a means to evaluate the organizational structure and teaming relationships proposed by the Offeror. This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis.

FACTOR 2: EXPERIENCE (See definition)

Submit Exhibit “B” (Construction/Design Experience Project Data Sheet) under Tab “2.”

(1) Construction Experience:

Submit a minimum of three (3) and maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrate your experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the projects that may be ordered under this contract. For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as new construction and/or repair of heavy horizontal or civil engineering construction projects, by design-build or design-bid-build, with a construction cost of $500,000 or greater, of the following types of projects: Outdoor Shooting & Combat Training Ranges & Terrains, Canals & Channels, Dams & Embankments, Bridges, Stormwater Management Structures, Ammunition/Weapons Magazines, and Outdoor Recreational/Athletic Fields & Parks.

• At least one (1) relevant construction project shall demonstrate the Offeror’s experience in construction of outdoor shooting and/or combat training ranges.

• At least one (1) relevant construction project shall demonstrate the Offeror’s self-performed (see definition) experience in construction of erosion control and/or storm drainage structures such as retention basins or detention basins.

• At least one (1) relevant construction project shall demonstrate the Offeror’s self-performed (see definition) experience in construction of outdoor recreational/athletic fields or parks (i.e.

athletic field, community park, obstacle course, or similar project).

• At least one (1) relevant construction project shall demonstrate the Offeror’s experience in design-build projects.

• At least three (3) relevant construction projects shall have been self-performed by the Offeror identified on the SF1442.

Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be 100% complete (see definition) within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

A project is 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.

The attached Construction/Design Experience Project Data Sheet (Exhibit “B”) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. If the same project is being used to demonstrate construction and design experience, submit separate Project Data Sheets for construction and design.

Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages).

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP (i.e.: unique features, area, construction methods). In addition, the description should also address any sustainable features for the project, including specific descriptions of those features. Provide applicable documentation on projects that were validated and/or certified through U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) or the equivalent organization or process.

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 shall be submitted for each Joint Venture members. Offerors who fail to submit experience for all Joint Venture members may be rated lower. 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 Offeror may utilize experience of a subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor. For purposes of this solicitation, “major or critical aspects” is defined as outdoor shooting and combat training ranges. The Offer must provide a letter of commitment and an explanation of the meaningful involvement that the subcontractor will have in performance of this contract.

(2) Design Experience:

Submit a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) relevant design projects for the design team that best demonstrates design experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the RFP. For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as new construction and/or repair of heavy horizontal or civil engineering construction projects, by design-build or design-bid-build, with a construction cost of $500,000 or greater, of the following types of projects:

Outdoor Shooting & Combat Training Ranges & Terrains, Canals & Channels, Dams & Embankments, Bridges, Stormwater Management Structures, Ammunition/Weapons Magazines, and Outdoor Recreational/Athletic Fields & Parks.

• At least one (1) relevant design project shall demonstrate the design team’s experience in design of outdoor shooting and/or combat training ranges.

• At least one (1) relevant design project shall demonstrate the design team’s experience in design of erosion control and/or storm drainage retention basins or detention basins.

• At least one (1) relevant design project shall demonstrate the design team’s experience in design of outdoor recreational/athletic fields or parks (i.e. athletic field, community park, obstacle course, or similar project).

• At least one (1) relevant design project shall demonstrate the design team’s experience in design-build projects.

Projects submitted for the design team shall be 100% complete (see definition) within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP. For design-build projects, the design portion of the contract shall have been completed within the past five (5) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

A project is defined as a complete design effort performed under a single task order or contract/subcontract. 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.

The attached Construction & Design Experience Project Data Sheet (Exhibit “B”) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. If the same project is being used to demonstrate construction and design experience, submit separate Project Data Sheets for construction and design.

Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages).

For all submitted projects, the description of the project shall clearly describe the scope of work performed and the relevancy to the project requirements of this RFP (i.e.: unique features, area, construction methods). In addition, the description should also address any sustainable features for the project, including specific descriptions of those features. Provide applicable documentation on projects that were validated and/or certified through U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) or the equivalent organization or process.

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 Offeror may utilize experience of a design subcontractor to demonstrate design experience under this evaluation factor. The Offer must provide a supporting joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, teaming agreement, or letter of commitment and an explanation of the meaningful involvement for the design subcontractor.

The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction and design 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 projects

(5) for construction and five (5) for design. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) for Construction Experience and five (5) for Design Experience will not be considered.

Relevant projects where the Offeror and the proposed design firm(s) have previously worked together may be considered more favorably than those that have not worked together.

Relevant projects that demonstrate design-build experience may be considered more favorably than those that do not have design-build experience.

Relevant projects that demonstrate experience with sustainable features may be considered more favorably than those that do not demonstrate experience with sustainable features.

Offerors who submit more than three (3) relevant projects that demonstrate construction experience by the Offeror identified on the SF1442 may be considered more favorably than those who submit the minimum required relevant project experience.

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

Submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Exhibit “C”) and CCASS/ACASS evaluations under Tab “2” immediately following each of the project data sheets to which they pertain. Submit any other past performance information under Tab “3.”

If a completed Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 2 for construction experience. If a completed AE Contractor Appraisal Support System (ACASS) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 2 for design experience. If there is not a completed CCASS or ACASS evaluation, submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (Exhibit “C”) for each project included in Factor 2 for both Construction Experience and Design Experience. The Offeror should provide completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) in the proposal. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror shall complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). The Government may make reasonable attempts to contact the client noted for that project(s) to obtain the PPQ information. However, Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to help ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact.

Offerors may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 2 – Experience. Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues.

Explanations shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages) in total.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information. The Government’s inability to contact any of the Offeror’s references or the references unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government’s evaluation of this factor.

Performance award or additional information submitted will not be considered.

This evaluation focuses on how well the Offeror performed on the relevant projects submitted under Factor 2

– Experience and past performance on other projects currently documented in known sources. In addition to the above, the Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of Contractors who are part of a partnership or joint venture identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Contractor’s performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the Offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive an Unknown Confidence rating.

FACTOR 4: SAFETY

Submit Exhibit “D” (Safety Data Sheet / Safety Narrative) under Tab “4.”

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit the following information: (For a partnership or joint venture, the following submittal requirements are required for each Contractor who is part of the partnership or joint venture;

however, only one safety narrative is required. EMR and DART Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.)

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR):

For the three (3) previous complete calendar years (2010, 2011, 2012), submit your EMR (which compares your company’s annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums over a three (3) year period).

If you have no EMR, affirmatively state so and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the EMR and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element. Lower EMRs will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(2) OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate:

For the three (3) previous complete calendar years (2010, 2011, 2012), submit your OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If you cannot submit an OSHA DART Rate, affirmatively state so, and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that affected the OSHA DART Rate data and upward or downward trends should be addressed as part of this element. Lower OSHA DART Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(3) Technical Approach for Safety:

Describe the plan that the Offeror will implement to evaluate safety performance of potential subcontractors, as a part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. Also, describe any innovative methods that the Offeror will employ to ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. The Safety narrative shall be limited to two pages.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The Government is seeking to determine that the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the Offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s overall safety record, the Offeror’s plan to select and monitor subcontractors, any and innovative safety methods that the Offeror plans to implement for this procurement. The Government’s sources of information for evaluating safety may include, but are not limited to, OSHA, NAVFAC’s Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS), and other related databases. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete safety information regarding these submittal requirements rests with the Offeror. The evaluation will collectively consider the following:

- Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

- OSHA Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate

- Offeror Technical Approach to Safety

- Other…
