BASIS OF AWARD AND FACTORS

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, using the tradeoff process as described in FAR 15.101-1. This process allows for a tradeoff between non-price factors and price and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal or other than the highest technically rated proposal to achieve a best-value contract award. 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 One Phase Design Build procedures per FAR 36.303-1 will be used for this procurement. The solicitation is in accordance with FAR Part 36.3. Evaluation will result in a determination of the most highly qualified Offerors.

The Government anticipates three (3) or more multiple award construction contracts. Offerors are advised that those Offerors who are selected to proceed 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 (3) 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. Subject to the availability of funds, the Government reserves the right to delay or cancel the award of PTO 0001 at time of the basic contract award. If the task order is not awarded with the basic award, the guaranteed minimum will be awarded.

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 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 (if conducted) will not be compensated for their participation.

Successful Offerors will receive the following contract awards:

The Offeror submitting the proposal, conforming to the RFP, determined to represent the 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

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).

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

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 (1) task/delivery order.

COMPETITIVE RANGE: The most highly rated proposals (based on the rating of each proposal against all evaluation criteria), unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency. FAR 15.306(c).

CONTRACTOR TEAMING ARRANGEMENT: An arrangement in which two (2) or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor, or a potential prime contractor agrees with one (1) or more companies to have them act as its subcontractor(s), under a specified Government contract or acquisition program. A proposed contractor teaming arrangement will be recognized by the Government, provided the Offeror identifies, in its proposal, the type of arrangement, fully discloses company relationships, and includes a copy of the partnership, joint venture agreement, or teaming agreement with the proposal package.

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. A deficiency results in a proposal being unawardable unless corrected through discussions.

See FAR 15.001.

DESIGN-BID-BUILD: Refers to the traditional delivery method where design and construction are sequential and contracted for separately with two (2) separate contracts and contractors; one (1) for an A-E contract and one (1) for a construction contract. For purposes of this solicitation, early contractor involvement and construction manager at risk, will be considered Design-Bid-Build.

DESIGN-BUILD: Refers to combining design and construction in a single contract with one (1) 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.

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.

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

EXPERIENCE: 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).

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 (5) years from the initial RFP issuance date.

JOINT VENTURE (JV): An arrangement of two (2) or more businesses (parties) to compete and perform as prime contractor for a contract.

LEAD DESIGN FIRM / DESIGN TEAM: The Offeror’s primary proposed design firm(s) and any in-house lead designer(s).

MEANINGFUL INVOLVEMENT: Provision of, or reliance upon, the workforce, management, facilities, or other resources of an affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD, such that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD will be involved in the contract effort with the Offeror, and thereby affect the performance of the Offeror.

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

Modifications to an existing building just to accommodate a new expansion/addition will be considered new construction.

OFFEROR: 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 that is submitting the proposal.

OFFEROR’S TEAM: The Offeror (see definition), the Offeror's outside Lead Design Firm, and/or in-house Lead Designer(s) only.

PAGE: One (1) printed side of a piece of paper (e.g., five (5) pieces of paper printed on both sides would result in 10 pages of narrative). Font size and font style shall be clearly legible.

PAST PERFORMANCE: 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 construction activity or task, with a single starting point and a single ending point.

QUALITY: The composite of material attributes including performance features and characteristics of a production or service to satisfy a customer’s given need.

RECENCY: As it pertains to past performance information, recency is a measure of the elapsed time since the past performance reference occurred. For purposes of the past performance factor, recency means the five-year period prior to the initial RFP issuance date, during which past performance references are considered relevant.

RELEVANCY: As it pertains to past performance information, relevancy 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 the past performance is an indicator of future performance.

RENOVATION AND REPAIR PROJECT TYPES: Projects where the work modifies existing structures.

Projects that only modify supporting facilities (including, but not limited to electrical, exterior utilities, sidewalks, roofing, HVAC repairs/replacements, and equipment replacements) will not be considered relevant.

REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENTS: All aspects of the RFP that convey the needs of the Government to offerors, including the Statement of Objectives (SOO), Statement of Work (SOW), Performance Work Statement (PWS), technical requirements documents, and system requirement documents.

REQUIREMENTS OWNER: The entity (for example, a program management office or other organization entity) responsible for providing requirements documents within the RFP that communicate those requirements to offerors.

RISK: As it pertains to source selection, risk 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, increased cost or degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. (For firm- fixed price contracts, the reference to increased cost may be removed from the risk definition.)

SELF-PERFORMED: Performed relevant and major construction 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 STRENGTH: An aspect of an Offeror’s proposal with appreciable merit or will exceed specified performance or capability requirements to the considerable advantage of the Government during contract performance.

SIGNIFICANT WEAKNESS: A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

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.

UNCERTAINTY: Is any aspect of a non-cost/price factor proposal for which the intent of the offer is unclear (e.g. more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission, or mistake).

WEAKNESS: A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

3. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF THE EVALUATION FACTORS

The relative importance of the evaluation factors is as follows:

Proposal shall consist of Factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Factors 1 (Technical Approach) and 5 (Small Business Participation will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an Offeror is rated Unacceptable for Factor(s) 1 and/or 5 they will not be eligible for award. In making the best value tradeoff award decision, only Factors 2 through 4 and price will be considered. Factor 2 (Experience) and 4 (Safety) are of equal importance, and when combined, are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment, Factor 3 (Past Performance). The following combined non-price factors, 2 (Experience), 3 (Past Performance), and 4 (Safety) are significantly more important than price. An Unacceptable or No Confidence rating in any of the non-price factors will result in an overall rating of “Unacceptable” for the non-price factors, and ineligibility for award, unless corrected through discussions.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

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:

Factor 1, Technical Approach Factor 2, Experience Factor 3, Past Performance Factor 4, Safety Factor 5, Small Business Participation Factor 6, Price - Based on Proposed Task Order 0001 (SF1442 (Solicitation, Offer, and Award) with blocks 14 through 20c completed; Pricing Schedule for PTO #0001; Bid Bond (in the amount of 20% of the proposal price for PTO #0001 or $3,000,000, whichever is less))

If rated Unacceptable, the Offeror will be ineligible for award.

FACTOR 2: EXPERIENCE (See definition)

Submit Exhibit “B” (Construction Experience Project Data Sheet):

Submit a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrate your self-performed (see definition) experience on 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 follows:

(1) Government or commercial airfield/airport paving projects of rigid or flexible pavement intended to support winged aircraft.

(2) Project must demonstrate self-performed (see definition) experience in construction of airport/airfield pavement.

(3) Project cost must be $500,000 or greater.

Examples of airfield/airport paving projects may include, but are not limited to: runway, taxiway, apron, and support areas for use by aircraft.

Exhibit “B” must clearly address and fully explain how the project meets the above requirements.

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. Projects which are not 100% complete as of the date of issuance of this RFP shall not be considered.

A project is defined as a construction project with a single starting point and single ending point, 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 “B”) 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 (how the project meets the requirements listed above).

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the JV entity. If the JV does not have shared experience, projects shall be submitted for each of the Joint Venture members. If a project was performed by a JV, and not all members from that JV are members of the JV proposed for this contract, the Offeror shall clearly demonstrate what portion of the work was performed by the JV member offering on this contract and shall not include work performed by the JV as a whole. The JV member proposed for this contract shall specifically address field work performed by that JV member including field staffing and direct field work oversight. The JV member proposed for this contract shall also address home office management performed by that JV member including the number/percentage of employees provided for the overall contract by the JV members as well as the overall percentage of work performed by the JV member. The Offeror shall also submit a SIGNED copy of the Joint Venture agreement indicating the proposed participation of each Joint Venture member. An SBA approved Mentor-Protégé Offeror shall submit the SBA approved Mentor Protégé agreement with the SBA approval letter of the Mentor Protégé agreement and any subsequent extensions.

In accordance with 13 C.F.R. 125.8(e), if the joint venture is an SBA approved Mentor-Protégé joint venture, the partners of the joint venture in aggregate must demonstrate the relevant project experience necessary to perform the contract. With the exception of firms formed under SBA approved Mentor- Protégé agreements, Joint Venture 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/LLC/LTD firm will have meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract. The proposal shall state specific commitments of technical resources (e.g. personnel, equipment) that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies commit to the performance of this contract. In particular, the proposal will clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member that will be located at the worksites and company offices in the city/area of the project. The proposal shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/ parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the Offeror in performance of the contract. Regarding any such submitted project, if the Offeror fails to demonstrate the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD firm’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract, the project will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated.

The Offeror may NOT utilize experience of a subcontractor to demonstrate construction experience under this evaluation factor unless the following applies:

If a Small Business Offeror or Small Business JV (two small businesses forming a small business JV) cannot independently demonstrate its own experience, the Small Business Offeror or Small Business JV may utilize the experience of a first-tier Small Business subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement in order to demonstrate relevant construction experience under this evaluation factor. The Government will consider the submitted relevant experience of each first-tier Small Business subcontractor as the experience of the Small Business Offeror or Small Business JV, provided that:

1) The Small Business Offeror or Small Business JV submits a supporting partnership or teaming agreement for each first-tier Small Business subcontractor; and the Small Business Offeror or Small Business JV provides an explanation of the meaningful involvement that each first-tier Small Business subcontractor will have in performance of this contract on Exhibit A and B.

Regarding any such submitted project(s), if the Small Business Offeror or Small Business JV fails to include a supporting partnership or teaming agreement and/or fails to demonstrate the first-tier Small Business subcontractor’s meaningful involvement in the performance of this contract on Exhibits A and B, the project(s) will not be considered relevant and will not be evaluated. Small Business Offerors or Small Business JVs are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

The basis of evaluation will include the Offeror’s demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. The assessment of the Offeror’s relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the Offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. The Government will only review five (5) projects for construction; any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) will not be considered.

Relevant projects that demonstrate that demonstrates self-performed experience in construction of both rigid airfield pavement with a minimum of 10,000 cubic yards and a minimum thickness of eight (8) inches, and flexible airfield pavement with a minimum of 5,000 tons may be rated higher.

Relevant projects that demonstrate self-performed experience with a construction cost of $10,000,000 or greater may be rated higher.

Relevant projects that demonstrate experience self-performing airfield paving construction of a Department of Defense airfield may be rated higher.

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

Submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Exhibit “C”) and CPARS evaluations immediately following each of the project data sheets to which they pertain.

If a Final CPARS evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 2 for construction experience. If there is not a Final CPARS evaluation, then a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Exhibit “C”) should be provided. 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. A PPQ will not be considered if a Final CPARS is available. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Britney Machado- Potestio at britney.l.machado-potestio.civ@us.navy.mil prior to the proposal closing date.

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 pages (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.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate, and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

Performance award or additional information submitted will not be considered.

This evaluation will consider how well the Offeror’s team performed on relevant projects submitted under Factor 2 – Experience. 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 CPARS using all CAGE/UEI numbers of the Offeror’s Team, 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 recency 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 team’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s team’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 a Neutral Confidence rating.

Past performance ratings of “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” hold more value than a “Neutral Confidence” rating and will be considered more favorably in the evaluation of past performance.

A past performance rating of “No Confidence” will be ineligible for award.

FACTOR 4: SAFETY

Submit Exhibit “D” (Safety Data Sheet / Safety Narrative. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded.

The Offeror shall submit the following information: The Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate; and Total Case Rate (TCR) for the specified five (5)…
