SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002

1. The purpose of this amendment is to accomplish the following:

a. INCORPORATE responses to Requests for Information (RFI) and extend the date for the base access form submittal as follows:

No. Question Government Response 1 The Proposal Submission Requirements for

Factor 2 Experience are extremely limiting and will thereby disqualify most highly qualified and experienced General Contractors. The submission requirements currently state a required combination of “new construction” and “with a minimum cost of $40,000,000” and “100% complete”. [See RFI “c” below.] Please consider the following revisions to allow increased competition.

a. The submission requirements currently require experience “…demonstrating the new construction of aircraft hangars…”. Please consider allowing major renovations of existing Aircraft Hangars.

b. The submission requirements currently require experience “…with a minimum cost of $40,000,000”. Most recent military Hangar projects have been valued between $30,0000,000 - $40,000,000. Please consider reducing the minimum cost to $30,000,000.

c. The submission requirements on

Page 13 of 51 states, “For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as Government or commercial contracts/ projects your firm has substantially completed in the last ten (10) years…”. However, the

a. Please see revision of Factor 2 – Experience under this Amendment 0002 for experience relevancy elements.

b. Please see revision of Factor 2 – Experience under this Amendment 0002, which now states that, “The minimum awarded construction cost must be at least $30,000,000 for a project to be relevant.”

c. Please see revision of Factor

2 – Experience under this Amendment 0002, which states that, “Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be 100% completed within the past ten (10) years of the date of issuance of this

RFP.”

submission requirements on Page 14 of 51 states, “Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be 100% completed within the past ten (10) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.” Please confirm that “substantially completed” projects are acceptable.

The Proposal Submission Requirements for Factor 1 require Offerors to submit a “technical approach narrative” and organizational chart, not to exceed 2 pages (combined). The RFP Attachment files also includes Exhibit “A” - Offeror Team Composition and Management, but there is no mention of this Exhibit in the Submission Requirements for Factor 1 (or any other Factor). Exhibit “A” also states a 2-page limit. Is Exhibit “A” required? Under which Factor shall it be submitted? For the page limits, is the requirement for a 1-page narrative, plus a 1-page Organization Chart, plus the 2-page Exhibit “A”? Or is the intent for Offerors to fill out Exhibit “A” (which is a 2-page form by itself), then then add a 3rd page for the organizational chart? Please clarify.

Please see revision of Paragraph 2 entitled, “Proposal Submission Requirements” under Section 00100 “Instructions to Offerors” of the RFP under this Amendment 0002, which now states, “Optional for this section: Attachment B (Exhibit “A” Offer Team Composition and Management) and Attachment C (Exhibit “B” Offeror’s Team Consent) are optional forms and may be used by the Offeror as deemed necessary.”

Please also see revision to Factor 1- Technical Approach of this Amendment 0002, which deletes Exhibit “A”, Exhibit “B”, and Exhibit “C” from Tab 1.

3 On Page 4 of 51 of the RFP, under the “Proposal Submission Requirements” (Section #2), the instructions state that “The format for the proposal is as follows:” and then lists the Financial Questionnaire (Attachment A) and the Surety Form (Attachment D) in the first few items. After those items, “Factor 1 – Technical Approach” is listed. Using this format, it is apparent that the Cover Letter, SF1442, Financial Questionnaire, Surety Form, Reps & Certs, and VETS 4212 are NOT a part of Factor

1. Based on this instruction, Offerors would assume that all of the aforementioned documents would be placed in front of TAB 1 (not part of Factor 1). In conflict, the Proposal Submission Requirements for Factor 1 on Page 13 of 51 instructs Offerors as follows: “The Offeror shall submit Exhibit “A”, Exhibit “B”, Exhibit “C” and the following information under Tab “1””. This instructs Offerors to insert Exhibit “C”- Surety Form under TAB 1 (part of Factor 1). Please clarify if Exhibit “C”- Surety Form should be included in front of the Technical Factors Tabs, or whether it should be

Attachment D (Exhibit “C” Surety Form) shall be placed in front of TAB

1. Please see revision to Factor 1- Technical Approach of this Amendment 0002, which deletes Exhibit “C” Surety Form from Tab 1.

included as part of Factor 1 (under TAB 1).

4 For Factor 2 sections (a)(1) and (a)(2)

(Construction and Design, respectively), the first two paragraphs in those sections appear to give conflicting statements. The first paragraph states 2-4 relevant projects, but the second paragraph states a minimum of 1 relevant project. Since both paragraphs have the same qualifications for relevant project (last 10 years, new CCF construction, $40,000,000), how many relevant construction and design projects must the team have in it's experience for submission?

Do the design and construction teams have to have only 1 (out of 2-4) that meets ALL relevant project requirements, with others only meeting some requirements? This is confusing and needs clarification.

Please see revision of Factor 2 – Experience under this Amendment 0002.

5 The $40,000,000 requirement for construction (section (a)(1)) and design (section (a)(2)) in the last 10 years is beyond our team's small and large business experience of $15-$35 million in last 20 years. Is there any possibility that this definition of relevant project can be relaxed? It appears from the RFP that we would not be considered for phase 2 if we fail to show $40,000,000 jobs (last 10 years) in our team's experience. Is that correct?

Please see revision of Factor 2 – Experience under this Amendment 0002 and also see Government response to question no. 1 above.

6 If a Design-Build Contractor identifies a Team Member in Exhibit “A” (i.e. an Electrical Engineering Subcontractor), but is not relying on the experience of the Team Member in Exhibit “E”, is it necessary to submit Exhibit “B”, Offeror’s Team Consent Form, for that Team Member?

Please see Government response to question no. 2 above.

7 In Paragraph 2 “Proposal Submission Requirements”, the format requirements defined on Page 4 of 27 indicate that the Surety Form (Attachment D) should be included with the general information. Later in the Same section under the “PHASE ONE Basis of Evaluation/Submission Requirements/Criteria Description Factor 1 – Technical Approach:”

subparagraph (a) page 12 of 27, the RFP states to include the Surety Form Exhibit “C” (Attachment D) under Tab “1”. Is the Surety Form required to be submitted with both the General Information and under Tab “1”? If not, at which location in the proposal should the Surety Form be placed.

question no. 3 above.

8 The RFP directs offerors to submit projects that are “100% completed within the past ten

(10) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

For design-build projects, the design portion of question no. 1 above.

the contract shall have been completed within the past ten (10) years of the date of issuance of this RFP.”

Due to the uniqueness of this pursuit and the limited number of relevant projects, we respectfully request that the RFP be amended to allow offerors to present projects that were 100% completed within the past twelve (12) years. This would provide the government with a larger selection of competitive and qualified offerors, resulting in a best value contract award.

9 Can the $40,000,000 minimum cost for project experience be lowered to $30,000,000. Projects that were completed 5 and 10 years ago which were in the $30 million range would most likely be above the $40 million limit due to inflation.

question no. 1 above.

10 Factor 2 – Experience (a) (1) “Construction Experience:” requires “a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of (4) relevant construction projects…”, the same number of projects is required for Design Experience. Exhibits “D” and “E” both state “Submit up to 5 projects”.

Please clarify the allowable number of projects to submit under Factor 2 – Experience.

Please see revised Exhibit “D” and “E” of this Amendment 0002, which are replaced with corrected versions to reflect the requirements of Factor 2- Experience for a minimum of two

(2) and a maximum of four (4) relevant construction and design projects.

11 The RFP states: The Offeror shall submit Exhibit “A”, Exhibit “B”, Exhibit “C” and the following information under Tab “1” Exhibit C is the Surety Form, is it the Government’s intention to include Exhibit C - Surety Form within the Technical Approach and not with the required front-end materials as listed on page 4 of the RFP?

question no. 3 above.

b. REVISE Factor 1- Technical Approach under Section 00100 “Instructions to Offerors” of the RFP as follows:

FROM:

“(a) Proposal Submittal Requirements: The composition and management of the firms proposed as the construction and design-build (DB) team for this contract will be evaluated in this factor.

BASIS OF AWARD AND EVALUATION FACTORS

1. Basis of Award

(a) 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.

(b) 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.

(c) 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.

(d) All technical factors when combined are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating; and all technical factors and the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating, when combined are approximately equal to price.

(e) 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. Proposals may be found to have either a significant weakness or multiple weaknesses that impact either the individual factor rating or the overall rating for the proposal. The evaluation report must document the evaluation board’s assessment of the identified weakness(es) and the associated risk to successful contract performance resulting from the weakness(es). This assessment must provide the rationale for proceeding to award without discussions.

2. Definitions

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).

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

Best Value: The expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement. See FAR 2.101.

Clarifications: Limited exchanges between the Government and offerors that may occur when award without discussion is contemplated. See FAR 15.306(a)(1).

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.

Communications: Exchanges, between the Government and offerors, after receipt of proposals, leading to establishment of the competitive range. See FAR 15.306(b).

Competitive Range: See FAR 15.306(c).

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

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 separate contracts and two contractors; one for an A-E contract and one for a construction contract.

Discussions: Exchanges (i.e., negotiations) in a competitive environment that are undertaken with the intent of allowing the offeror to revise its proposal. Discussions take place after establishment of the competitive range.

See FAR 15.306(d).

Evaluation Notice (EN): PCO’s written notification to the offeror for purposes of clarifications, communications, or discussions.

Experience: Pertains to work performed by an Offeror and Offeror’s Team, 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).

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.

Lead Design Firm / Design Team: Applies to the Offeror’s primary design firm(s) and any in-house lead designer(s).

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).

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.

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.)

Past Performance: Relates to how well an Offeror and Offeror’s Team has performed; e.g., the quality of work accomplished, schedule compliance, customer satisfaction.

Performance Confidence Assessment: An evaluation of the likelihood (or Government’s confidence) that the offeror will successfully perform the solicitation’s requirements; the evaluation is based upon past performance information.

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

Recency: As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the time that has elapsed since the past performance reference occurred. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant.

Relevancy: As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the service/support effort, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and subcontract/teaming or other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the solicitation requirements; and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance.

Renovation, Repair, Alteration Project Types: Refers to renovation, alteration, and repair type projects refers to projects where the work modifies existing facilities.

Risk: As it pertains to source selection, is the potential for unsuccessful contract performance. The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which an offeror’s proposed approach to achieving the technical factor or subfactor may involve risk of disruption of schedule, or degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.

Self-Perform: Refers to performing relevant major trade work in-house without subcontractors. This does not include project administration or management functions (such as quality control or safety program) and miscellaneous work (such as housekeeping or cleanup). Relevant and major construction trade work is that which is the same or similar to the work that may be ordered under this contract.

Significant Weakness: A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Source Selection Authority (SSA): The official designated to make the source selection decision.

Source Selection Decision Document (SSDD): The document that reflects the SSA's independent, integrated, comparative assessment and decision.

Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB): A group of individuals representing the various functional disciplines relevant to the acquisition that is responsible for evaluating proposals against the solicitation criteria.

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

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 to those recognized by Third Party Certification entities.

Ten-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 ten-year period is calculated by counting back ten years from the initial RFP issuance date.

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