The areas of consideration will include, but not be limited to, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and miscellaneous Federal and other facilities.

1.2 PREFERENCE FOR MAKING MULTIPLE AWARDS

This acquisition is being advertised on an unrestricted basis as an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ), multiple award construction contract (MACC) with no pre-established fixed contract prices and is a source selection procurement requiring non-cost/price, past performance and price proposals. This procurement consists of one solicitation with the intent to award a minimum of three (3) IDIQ contracts.

1.3 MAGNITUDE OF THE ACQUISITION

The total dollar value of this acquisition is $48,000,000 over the life of the contract or 60 months, whichever occurs first. The Government may or may not award a Seed Project in place of a minimum guarantee to the lowest price technically acceptable offeror and a minimum guarantee of $5,000 to the other successful offerors for the base period only. The minimum guarantee for the other successful offerors may be met by the issuance of a task order during the base period or option period(s). Contractors are not guaranteed work in excess of the minimum guarantee. The task order minimum and maximum will be stated as $50,000 to $15,000,000, respectively.

1.4 PROPOSAL EVALUATION

a. The Government intends to award a minimum of three contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offerors with the lowest price technically acceptable proposal based on the evaluation factors in the solicitation.

b. Proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors.

Tradeoffs are not permitted.

c. The number of proposals to be evaluated for technical acceptability may be limited to the five lowest priced offers. Technical proposals shall be provided to the evaluator(s) without any identification of prices or any rank order of prices. The process described will be conducted as many times as necessary, until such time as the Government identifies an acceptable amount of technically acceptable proposals. If the contracting officer later determines that discussions are necessary, the procedures in FAR 15.306 shall be followed.

d. The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contracts.

1.5 ENFORCEABILITY OF THE PROPOSAL

The proposals must set forth full, accurate and complete information as required by this solicitation. The Government will rely on such information in the award of the contracts. By submission of the offer, the Offeror agrees that all items proposed (e.g., key personnel, subcontractors, etc.) will be utilized for the duration of the contract and any substitutions will be equal or better than as proposed and accepted for contract award and shall require prior Contracting Officer's approval.

PART II – EVALUATION CRITERIA

2.1 BASIS OF AWARD

a. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a minimum of three contracts 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.

b. The number of proposals to be evaluated for technical acceptability may be limited to the five lowest priced offers at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

c. An overall non-price factors rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall non-price factors proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price factors rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.

2.2 EVALUATION FACTORS

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

Factor 1 – Experience

4. The Government reserves the right to review other available sources (public/Government internal) of information. These may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), etc.

Basis of Evaluation:

The Government is seeking to determine that the Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the Offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. To meet the minimum requirements, the Offeror must demonstrate the following:

1. DART rates at or below 2.99

2. TCR Rates at or below 4.49

NOTE: If the Offeror’s rates exceed the established levels above for any of the five years, it will result in a deficiency.

3. Technical Approach to Safety

c. Offeror describes a logical management plan to hold both themselves and their subcontractors accountable for adhering to the safety requirements of the contract.

4. The Government reserves the right to review other available sources (public/Government internal) of information. These may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), etc.

3. Factor 3 – Past Performance

(a) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

(1) If a completed Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS)/Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal for each project included in Factor 1 for construction experience. If a completed CCASS, ACASS, or CPAR evaluation is not available for a project that was submitted under Factor 1, the Offeror shall submit Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachment C2) for that project. Evidence of customer satisfaction shall be from the owner and/or their representative responsible for the construction contract administration of construction projects. It shall not be from a prime construction contractor for a subcontractor. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. All PPQs shall be complete, contain client’s signature, and include all information requested in Attachment C2, NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (Form PPQ-0) located the end of Document 00110. This does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. 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, Mr. Robert Wong, Robert.L.Wong1@navy.mil.

(2) Offerors shall provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 1 – Experience. Offerors shall also address any adverse past performance issues. Explanations shall not exceed two (2) double-sided 8.5” x 11” page (or four (4) single-sided 8.5” x 11” pages) and shall be size 11 font (minimum). Arial font is recommended but others may be used so long as it is legible.

(3) 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.

(4) Performance award or additional information submitted will not be considered.

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

(1) This evaluation focuses on how well the Offeror’s team performed on the relevant projects submitted under Factor 1 – Experience and may also consider past and/or current performance on other projects, interim and/or final, 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 and/or current 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 JV 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.

(2) The Government may consider the currency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends, interim and/or final, 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 and/or current performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

(3) Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive an unknown (or “neutral”) past performance rating. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable”.

4. Factor 4 – Small Business Utilization

It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small business (SB) concerns, including veteran-owned small business (VOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small business, small disadvantaged business (SDB), and women-owned small business (WOSB) and other small business concerns. Further, it is the policy of the Government that such concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance.

(a) All Offerors (both large and small businesses) shall use Attachment C3, Small Business Participation and Commitment Strategy to submit the following requested information for evaluation of this factor:

- To demonstrate commitment to use small business concerns in the performance of this contract, identify all planned subcontractors by name that will be used to support each specific small business category (i.e., SB, HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, and SDVOSB). Identify the type of product/service to be subcontracted, the estimated subcontract value, and the type of commitment (i.e., teaming agreement, letter of commitment, etc.) to each subcontractor.

- To demonstrate maximum practicable participation of small businesses, identify (in terms of dollar value and percentage of the total contract value) the offeror’s total proposed small business participation (i.e. work to be performed by small business as the prime contractor and/or work to be performed by small business subcontractors). All offerors who are not able to meet the minimum total small business participation rate (20% of the total contract value) shall provide a detailed explanation why the minimum total small business participation rate cannot be achieved.

If the offeror does not intend to subcontract, provide a detailed explanation why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance.

Note: A large business offeror selected for award shall be required to submit an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Attachment C4) incorporating the proposed subcontract values and small business concerns that are specifically identified in the offeror’s Small Business Participation Plan. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall aspire to meet the NAVFAC small business subcontracting goals stated below.

Note: The NAVFAC subcontracting targets for FY20 are as follows:

Small Business 40% Historically Underutilized Business Zone 3% Small Disadvantaged Business 5% Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business 3% Woman Owned Small Business 9%

(b) Basis of Evaluation:

This factor will be rated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s Small Business Participation Plan to determine that the offeror has identified and demonstrated a commitment to use small business concerns in one or more small business categories (i.e., SB, HUBZone SB, WOSB, SDB, VOSB, and SDVOSB) in the performance of this contract.

- Proposals that fail to identify and commit to use small business concerns in the performance of this contract may be rated Unacceptable; however, the Government may take into account reasonable explanations why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance.

The Government will also evaluate the small business participation plan to determine that the offeror has demonstrated the maximum practicable participation of small businesses by meeting or exceeding the solicitation’s minimum total small business participate rate (i.e. work to be performed by small business as the prime contractor and/or work to be performed by small business subcontractors). The minimum total small business participation rate for this acquisition is 20% of the total contract value.

- Large business offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation rate through subcontracting to small businesses.

- Small business offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation rate through their own performance/participation as a prime and also through a joint venture, teaming arrangement, and/or subcontracting to other small businesses.

- Proposals that fail to demonstrate a total small business participation rate of at least 20% may be rated

Unacceptable; however, the Government may take into account reasonable explanations why the minimum total small business participation rate cannot be achieved.

Q27. Section 32 13 13.06, subsection 2.2.1.2 (5%) – we would like to request that the air entrainment be waived for this project. Air entrainment is primarily used for freeze-thaw protection (ACI 302.1R-96 “Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction”, Section 5.6.1 Air-entraining admixtures), which is not an issue in Hawaii. The other positive side-effects of AE, water reduction and workability, are already achieved with less volatile methods including use of water reducer and optimized combined aggregate gradation.

A27. Delete Paragraph 2.2.1.2 in Specification Section 32 13 13.06.

Q28. Document 00110, Part II - Evaluation Criteria, seems to indicate that “Small Business Subcontracting Plan per FAR 52.219-9 Alt. II (Large Businesses only)” is to be included in both the Offeror’s Price Proposal, as well as the Offeror’s Technical Proposal (Factor 4). However, the “Instructions to Offerors” indicates that “Small Business Subcontracting Plan per FAR 52.219-9 Alt. II (Large Businesses only)” should only be included in the Offeror’s Price Proposal and does not outline a Factor 4 under the Techincal Proposal as called out in the Evaluation Criteria. Please clarify as to how the “Small Business Subcontracting Plan per FAR 52.219-9 Alt. II (Large Businesses only)” should be included in the Offeror’s proposal.

A28. The Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Large Businesses only) is not part of Factor 4 – Small Business Utilization and is to be provided separately upon request by the Contracting Officer. Documents 00100 and 00110 have been revised to remove that submittal requirement from the Price Proposal.
