Offerors intending to deliver the proposals in person to the facility at the address above are cautioned that this NAVFAC Southwest facility is located in downtown San Diego. An Offeror risks the late receipt and rejection of a proposal where it delays delivering its proposal until the last few minutes before the time set for receipt of proposals. It is recommended that the Offeror allows for delays in driving through downtown San Diego caused by traffic (both freeway and downtown), construction projects, train/trolley crossing, parking at the pay lots/meters near the facility, and gaining access to a secure Government facility. No parking or offloading of proposals is available at the Government facility. Proposals are to be delivered to personnel in the mailroom in Building 128, and reasonable time shall be allowed for the person in the mailroom to receive and time stamp the proposal. 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. Pre-Proposal Conference

(a) A pre-proposal conference and site visit will not be conducted at this time.

(b) A list of Frequently-Asked-Questions (FAQ) with appropriate responses is provided as an attachment to the

RFP. 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.

4. Financial Questionnaire

Offerors shall submit the Financial Questionnaire to their financial institution and request the financial institution complete the questionnaire with regard to the Offeror’s firm. Upon completion of the questionnaire, the financial institution should place the completed questionnaire in a sealed envelope showing the return address of the financial institution and forward it to the Offeror so that the Offeror can include the questionnaire (in the sealed envelope) with the Offeror’s proposal.

If the Offeror is a joint venture, information should be submitted for the joint venture. If there is no information for the joint venture, information should be submitted for each joint venture partner.

5. Surety Form

Offerors shall submit the Surety Form to report their surety bonding information, verifying aggregate bonding capacity, current available bonding, as well as single project limit. Ensure the name of the Offeror’s surety, including the name and phone number of the Offeror’s agent within the surety, is shown on the form.

If the Offeror is a joint venture, one Surety Form shall be submitted for the joint venture, not the individual partners.

6. System for Award Management

The System for Award Management (SAM) is combining federal procurement systems and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance into one new system. This consolidation includes the functionality from the following systems:

* Central Contractor Registry (CCR)

* Federal Agency Registration (Fedreg)

* Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA)

* Excluded Parties List System (EPLS)

Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award of a DoD contract. In order to participate on this solicitation, contractors must also complete electronic representations and certifications.

For more information and to complete the electronic Reps & Certs, see the SAM website at http://www.sam.gov. A contract cannot be awarded to a contractor not registered in SAM. Remember to review the NAICS codes listed in your SAM record and make sure that you have listed the NAICS code for this procurement.

Note: FAR Clause 52.209-7 and DFARS Clause 252.209-7999 are not found in the electronic Reps & Certs in SAM; therefore, Offerors shall submit FAR Clause 52.209-7 with paragraph (b) completed to report whether or not they have current active Federal contracts and grants with a total value greater than $10,000,000 and Offerors shall submit DFARS Clause 252.209-7999 with paragraph (b) completed to report whether or not they have any unpaid Federal tax liability or were convicted of a felony criminal violation under a Federal law within the preceding 24 months.

7. Federal Contractor Program

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.1303, any contractor or subcontractor with a contract of $100,000 or more with the Federal Government must take affirmative action to hire and promote qualified targeted veterans which includes, special disabled veterans, veterans of the Vietnam-era, recently separated veterans, and any other veterans who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized.

If subject to the reporting requirements, companies must file an annual VETS-100 and/or VETS-100A Report, which shows the number of targeted veterans in their work force by job category, hiring location, and number of new hires, including targeted veterans hired during the reporting period and the maximum number and minimum number of employees of such contractor during the period covered by the report. Instructions, information, and follow-up assistance is provided at VETS-100 Internet site at http://www.dol.gov/vets/vets-100.html or employers may contact the VETS-100 customer support at (866) 237-0275 or e-mail at VETS100-customersupport@dol.gov.

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 for the current reporting period. DO NOT SUBMIT A COPY OF THE REPORT ITSELF. 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-100, 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

The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred or associated with preparation and submission of a proposal in response to this solicitation.

9. No Alternate or Multiple Proposals

Neither multiple proposals, nor proposal variations or options, nor alternate or alternative proposals will be considered in the evaluation.

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 non-price factors. Interested firms are expected to review the RFP and participate in a pre-proposal conference and site visit (if conducted), provide proposed prices for the initial project, and provide proposal information requested to evaluate their technical and past performance factors.

The best value continuum source selection process to be used for this acquisition is the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) process as described in FAR 15.101-2.

The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposals with the lowest evaluated prices. No more than five (5) awards will be made. In order to permit efficient competition, the following methodology will be utilized. Proposals will be initially screened for price and placed in order of price (lowest price to highest price). The Government will then evaluate the non-price factors of the ten (10) lowest priced proposals in accordance with the criteria of acceptability set forth in the solicitation. However, the Government, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to increase the number of proposals it will review under this methodology. If at least five (5) of those proposals are technically acceptable, and if the prices are determined to be reasonable in the price evaluation, the Government will make an award to those five (5) Offerors with the lowest price. If there are fewer than five (5) technically acceptable proposals, groups of five (5) proposals will continue to be evaluated in the order of lowest price to highest price until up to five (5) offers have been determined to be technically acceptable. Accordingly, under this methodology, the non-price factors of some proposals may not be evaluated by the Government. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated (both non-price and price) for the purpose of establishing a competitive range. Proposals shall be provided to the evaluators without any identification of prices or any rank order of prices.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Offerors should not assume that they would be contacted or afforded the opportunity to qualify, discuss, or revise their proposal. 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.

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for the non-price factors. Each non-price factor will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall non-price proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.

The Government intends to award between three and five multiple award construction contracts resulting from this solicitation. Award of the basic multiple award construction contracts will be made to those responsible Offerors with the lowest price technically acceptable proposals based on the evaluation factors in this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to award up to five 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 projects that meet the scope of the MACC.

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contracts; to negotiate with Offerors in the competitive range; and to award up to five (5) contracts to the Offerors submitting the lowest price technically acceptable offers.

Successful Offerors will receive the following contract awards:

The lowest price technically acceptable Offeror 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.

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).

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 PROJECT TYPES: Refers to projects where the work replaces part of, or an entire, existing HVAC system, or adds to/expands an existing HVAC system.

NEW CONSTRUCTION: Refers to installing a brand new HVAC system where none exists; this includes when the brand new system ties-in to an existing central plant system.

100% COMPLETE: The facility/work is completely constructed and ready for the intended use.

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.

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. EVALUATION FACTORS

The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-price factors:

Factor 1 – Experience Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Technical Approach

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 that establish the requirements of acceptability are identified below.

a. Price Factor

PRICE – Based on Proposed Task Order 0001

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

The Offeror (see definition) shall complete and submit (in a sealed envelope) the following in the order shown below under Tab “Price” of the original proposal only.

- Standard Form (SF) 1442 (Solicitation, Offer and Award)

- Bid Bond

With regard to price as shown on the SF 1442, the only Contract Line Item that Offerors are to complete is Line Item 0002 of Section 00010 Solicitation for Proposed Task Order 0001.

Failure to submit a Bid Bond conforming to the requirements of the solicitation may result in an Offeror's proposal being rejected as unacceptable.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

The price proposal for Proposed Task Order 0001 will be evaluated to determine the reasonableness and completeness of the Offeror’s proposal. The following techniques will be used to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

- Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the solicitation.

- Comparison of proposed prices with the independent Government estimate.

In addition, one or more of the following techniques may also be utilized:

- Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

- Comparison of proposed prices with resources proposed.

- Obtain information/reports from Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) or other outside agencies as required.

b. Non-price Factors

FACTOR 1: EXPERIENCE (See definition)

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

Submit Exhibit “A” (Construction Experience Project Data Sheet) under Tab “Exhibits A & B.”

Submit five (5) 100% complete construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrate your experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to projects that may be ordered under this contract.

For purposes of this evaluation, relevant projects are further defined as new construction, repair, and/or renovation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and associated work, by design-build or design-bid-build, within the construction cost range of $50,000 to $5,000,000.

Projects may include, but are not limited to: Boiler/Chiller plants; Digital Direct Controls or Energy Management Control System; HVAC equipment energy optimization; commissioning and retro-commissioning; distribution systems including supply and return air systems, ventilation and exhaust systems, steam, glycol, medical gas, refrigerant, heating hot water and chilled water distribution, associated terminal devices, heat recovery equipment, heat exchangers, sound attenuation, insulation, and associated appurtenances; energy supply including oil, gas, steam, heating hot and chilled water distribution systems;

other Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems and equipment including special cooling and humidity control, dust and fume collectors, air purifiers, paint booth ventilation systems; and system testing and balancing.

Additional submission requirements:

- Submit at least two (2) projects with a construction cost of $1,500,000 or above.

- Submit at least one (1) project demonstrating self-performed construction experience with boiler/chiller plants replacement and modernization.

- Submit at least one (1) project demonstrating construction experience with installation of Digital Direct

Controls or Energy Management Control Systems.

- At least one (1) of the self-performed projects shall demonstrate experience with design-build.

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 Experience Project Data Sheet (Exhibit “A”) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. 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).

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, at least one relevant project shall be submitted for each Joint Venture partner. If no shared project experience is demonstrated, proposals that fail to submit at least one relevant project for each partner in the Joint Venture will be rated Unacceptable. 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/LLC/LTD firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of the contract. Regarding any such submitted project, if the Offeror fails to demonstrate the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract, the project will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

The Offeror may utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate experience with the installation of Digital Direct Controls or Energy Management Control Systems. The Offeror shall provide an explanation of the meaningful involvement that the subcontractor will have in performance of this contract. Regarding any such submitted project, if the Offeror fails to demonstrate the subcontractor’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract, the project will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

Experience of a subcontractor submitted to demonstrate construction experience other than the installation of Digital Direct Controls or Energy Management Control Systems will not be considered.

The basis of evaluation will be the Offeror’s demonstrated experience in performing five (5) relevant construction projects as defined in the proposal submission requirements above. 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.

Proposals which submit fewer than five (5) relevant construction projects or fail to demonstrate experience as required above will be rated Unacceptable.

Any project submitted which is (1) in excess of the five (5) required projects, (2) combined projects (see definition), (3) not 100% complete within the five-year period specified (see definition), (4) outside the scope of work of this solicitation, or (5) outside the construction cost range of $50,000 to $5,000,000, will not be evaluated.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

Past performance information is one indicator of an Offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully.

The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance shall be considered.

The Offeror may be given an opportunity to clarify certain aspects of its proposal, (e.g., the relevance of the Offeror’s past performance information and adverse past performance information to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond) or to resolve minor or clerical errors.

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

Submit evaluations under Tab “Exhibits A & B” immediately following each of the projects shown on Exhibit “A” to which they pertain. For each project submitted in Factor 1, use one of the following formats to demonstrate past performance:

- For commercial projects, submit a past performance questionnaire (PPQ) (Exhibit “B”). Ensure correct/current phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Offerors are required to provide PPQs with their proposal.

- For Government projects, submit a copy of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Contractor

Appraisal Support System (CCASS) performance evaluation, for construction. If no CCASS evaluation exists, the Offeror may submit a PPQ; however, the government will not consider any PPQ submitted for a project if an official CCASS evaluation exists in the government database.

If you are submitting a project your firm performed as a subcontractor, include the name and POC for the prime contractor.

If the rating received was less than Satisfactory, provide a brief description of the problem(s) resulting in this evaluation and what corrective action, if any, was taken. Offerors may also address any adverse past performance issues. Explanations for all projects combined shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single-sided pages) in total.

Past performance information submitted for projects other than those listed in Factor 1 will not be considered.

Proposals that fail to provide required and complete information and an accessible point of contact (POC) with a correct phone number may be rated as Unacceptable.

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.

b. Basis of Evaluation:

This evaluation focuses on how well the Offeror performed on the relevant projects submitted under Factor 1

– 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), and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror.

Offerors will be rated as acceptable when PPQs/CCASS evaluations and information obtained from any other sources reflect, at a minimum, a satisfactory level of performance considering the following: the contractor’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior; commitment to customer satisfaction; record of conforming to specifications and applicable law (i.e., Davis Bacon Wage Determinations/Safety Standards, etc.); quality of workmanship; record of recommending and/or implementing innovative approaches and/or technologies;

record of controlling costs; safety performance record; and adherence to schedules.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)

(2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

FACTOR 3: SAFETY

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

The Offeror shall use Exhibit “C” (Safety Data & Narrative) to submit (under Tab “Exhibit C”) 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, and 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 adversely affected the EMR should be addressed as part of this element.

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

For the three (3) previous complete calendar years [2010, 2011, and 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 (OSHA). If you cannot submit an OSHA DART rate, affirmatively state so, and explain why. Any extenuating circumstances that adversely affected the OSHA DART rate data should be addressed as part of this element.

3) Technical Approach for Safety:

Describe the plan that the Offeror will implement to evaluate the safety performance of potential subcontractors, as part of the selection process for all levels of subcontractors. Also, describe how the Offeror will ensure and monitor safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. The safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) pages.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s overall safety record and the Offeror’s plan to select and monitor subcontractors 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’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’s Technical Approach for Safety

- Other sources of information available to the Government

1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR):

The Government will evaluate the EMR to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices. An EMR greater than 1.0 is considered high risk and may be considered Unacceptable; however, the Government may take into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates.

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

The Government will evaluate the OSHA DART Rate to determine if the Offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices. A DART Rate of 3.00 or higher is considered high risk and may be considered Unacceptable; however, the Government may take into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates.

3) Technical Approach for Safety:

The Government will evaluate the narrative to determine that the safety performance of potential subcontractors will be considered in the selection of all levels of subcontractors and that the Offeror’s plan will monitor and ensure safe work practices at all subcontractor levels. Offerors who fail to address either of these items will be rated Unacceptable.

FACTOR 4: TECHNICAL APPROACH

The Proposed Task Order (PTO) 0001 RFP requires the installation of a new HVAC system in an existing new building. The project requires USGBC LEED Silver certification. Exhibit “D” (LEED Checklist) already includes the credits related to the construction of the new building (for a total of 21 points).

a. Proposal Submission Requirements:

The Offeror shall submit a completed Exhibit “D” (LEED Checklist) (under Tab “Exhibit D”) specifying the remaining LEED points to be achieved for PTO 0001, and include a description of the proposed method of achieving each credit. No description of methodology is required for the credits already included.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed points and methodology to meet LEED Silver certification. A proposal that demonstrates the ability to achieve LEED Silver certification will be rated Acceptable. A minimum of 50 total points (including the 21 points already included, as described above) is required to attain LEED Silver certification.

A proposal that fails to demonstrate how each proposed credit will be achieved or that fails to achieve the minimum total points required for LEED Silver certification will be rated Unacceptable.

EXHIBITS FOR SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ARE PROVIDED AS SEPARATE ATTACHMENTS
