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 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 three or more multiple award construction contracts. Offerors are advised that those Offerors who are selected to proceed to Phase Two are not guaranteed receipt of a contract award. Award of the basic multiple award construction contracts will be made to those responsible 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 and 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. Relevant sustainable features are those that are the same or similar rating system recognized by Third Party Certification entities.

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 primary work modifies the spaces within the existing exterior walls of existing facilities.

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

100% COMPLETE:

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

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

For design-build 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: Refers to the Offeror (see definition), the Offeror's outside Lead Design Firm, and/or in-house Lead Designer(s) only; does not include subcontractors or consultants.

LEAD DESIGN FIRM / DESIGN TEAM: Applies to the Offeror’s primary design 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. This does not include other arrangements such as “teaming agreement” or “strategic alliance,” which are not recognized as bona fide joint ventures for the purposes of this solicitation.

FIVE-YEAR PERIOD: The prescribed timeframe for this solicitation that refers to the period of time for which projects may be submitted for experience, past performance, or for prior support for small business. 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 two separate contracts and contractors; one for an A-E contract and one for a construction contract.

SELF-PERFORM: Refers to performing relevant and major construction trade work in-house without subcontractors. This does not include project administration or management functions (e.g. quality control, safety program) and miscellaneous work (e.g. housekeeping, clean up). Relevant and major construction 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, and 3. 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 and 3 are of equal importance to each other.

b. Phase Two: In making the best value award decision in Phase Two, Factors 2-5 and price will be considered. The technical factors (2, 4, and 5) 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 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:

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 the RFP (how the project meets the minimum requirements listed above). In addition, the description should also address any sustainable features for the project including specific descriptions of those features. Provide applicable documentation on projects with sustainable building validation and/or certification through any Third Party Certification entity.

If an Offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name and address 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.

The Offeror may utilize experience of a design subcontractor to demonstrate design experience under this evaluation factor. The Offeror 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 team’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 team’s relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the Offeror’s team to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. 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.

Offerors who submit relevant projects that demonstrate experience self-performing relevant features of work may receive a higher rating than those who do not demonstrate self-performance.

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 should 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.

PHASE TWO

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

FACTOR 4: SAFETY

Submit Exhibit “C” (Safety Data Sheet / Safety Narrative) under Tab “3.” Individual blocks on this form may be expanded.

For a partnership or joint venture, EMR and DART rates are required for each entity that is part of the partnership or joint venture; however, only one safety narrative is required. Rates shall not be submitted for subcontractors.

The Offeror shall submit the following information:

(1) Experience Modification Rate (EMR):

For the three (3) previous complete calendar years (2012, 2013, and 2014), submit your EMR (which compares your company’s annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums over a three 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 (3) previous complete calendar years (2012, 2013, and 2014), submit your OSHA 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 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 to 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 its self-performed work and the work of its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s overall safety record, the Offeror’s plan to select and monitor subcontractors, and any innovative safety methods that the Offeror plans to implement for this procurement. The Government’s sources of information for evaluating safety will include, but are not limited to: OSHA, NAVFAC’s Enterprise Safety Applications Management System (ESAMS) database, 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 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 taking into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates. Lower EMRs will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(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 taking into account any upward or downward trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rates. Lower OSHA DART Rates will be given greater weight in the evaluation.

(3) Technical Approach to Safety:

The Government will evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which subcontractor safety performance will be considered in the selection of all levels of subcontractors on projects under this procurement. The Government will also evaluate the narrative to determine the degree to which innovations are being proposed that may enhance safety on projects under this procurement. Those Offerors whose plan demonstrates a commitment to hire subcontractors with a culture of safety and who propose innovative methods to enhance a safe working environment may be given greater weight in the evaluation.

FACTOR 5: TECHNICAL SOLUTION

• Submit a Technical Solution narrative and drawings under Tab “5” in order to demonstrate an understanding of the project objectives, design criteria, and the RFP requirements.

Provide a narrative describing the technical solution to the project. Address the following:

- Offeror's design approach to the proposed sprinkler and alarm system that will increase reliability, decrease maintenance and lower life cycle costs.

- Proposed design and engineering solutions for the fire protection system for the project and indicate how well the proposed solutions meet, or exceed, the requirements of the

RFP.

- Preliminary hydraulic calculations to determine the approximate system demand and adequacy of the water supply.

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

• Submit a conceptual design of the proposed project to demonstrate an understanding of the project objectives, design criteria and functional requirements specified in the RFP.

- Provide a concept drawing that identify locations of all required fire protection equipment and devices, including detection, notification, signaling, and initiating devices on the provided floor plan.

- Provide a concept drawing that Identifies the location and detail of required fire pumps and controllers, the riser piping, sprinkler heads, flow switches, etc.

- Provide a concept drawing that identify a life safety plan.

The evaluation will be based on the Offeror’s technical approach for Proposed Task Order (PTO) 0001, for the Design and Construction of a fire protection construction project at the Reserve Training Center in San Diego County, CA. The Offeror’s demonstration of an understanding of project requirements and design criteria presented in the RFP as well as the Offeror’s technical approach to the project will be considered.

Elements of the proposed technical approach to be evaluated include:

• A technical approach that demonstrates a clear understanding of the project concepts, design criteria and functional requirements presented in the RFP may receive a higher rating.

• A technical approach that demonstrates an efficient and cost effective system design concepts that will reduce future maintenance and operating costs may receive a higher rating.
