If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted.

All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation. To enable verification, firms should include the Unique Entity Identifier number (UEIN) along with each firm name in the SF330, Part 1, Section F, Block 25 “Firm Name”. Include a contract number or project identification number in Block 21. Include an e-mail address and phone number for the point of contact in Block 23(c). In Block 24, include in the project description the contract period of performance, award contract value, current contract value, and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above. For projects performed as a subcontractor or a JV involving different partners, indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

For projects performed as a subcontractor or a JV involving different partners, specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

Note: If the firm is a JV, projects performed by the JV should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the JV, such as in the case of a newly formed JV, projects must be submitted for each JV partner, not to exceed a total of four (4) projects for each partner. Firms failing to provide projects from all JV partners will be considered to have not met the requirements of the criterion. If more than four (4) projects are submitted for each JV partner, the Government will only evaluate the first four projects in the order submitted and disregard any other projects thereafter.

Projects submitted on the SF330, Part I, Section F and Attachment (A) shall be completed or substantially completed projects. Projects not completed or not substantially completed will be excluded from evaluation consideration. For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract is considered a project, as is a stand-alone contract award. Do not submit an IDIQ contract as an example project. Instead, list relevant task orders or stand-alone contract awards that fit within the definition above. The Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract. Examples of project work submitted that do not conform to this requirement will not be evaluated.

All information for Criterion 1 should be submitted in the SF330, Part I, Section F and Attachment (A). The Government WILL NOT consider information submitted in addition to Part 1, Section F and Attachment (A) in evaluation of Criterion 1.

2. Past performance information for the firm for services performed as a sub-consultant will not be given the same level of consideration as past performance information of the firm performed as the Prime contractor.

Submission Requirements:

SUBMIT ALL COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION(S) FOR EACH PROJECT UNDER

CRITERION 1. Submit all completed Interim and/or Final CPARS for the project when available. (Note: A “completed” CPARS does not mean a “Final” CPARS. A CPARS is considered “completed” when the Government Reviewing Official has signed the evaluation.)

IF A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment (C)) included in this notice is provided for the firm or its team members to submit to the client for each project included under Criterion 1, Specialized Experience. The PPQ must be signed by the client. Include the evaluation immediately after each project that it is associated with in Section F. The CPARS or PPQ provided in Section F will not be counted towards the SF330 page limitation. DO NOT SUBMIT A PPQ

WHEN A COMPLETED CPARS IS AVAILABLE. DO NOT SUBMIT CPARS FOR

PROJECTS FOR WHICH THE FIRM WAS NOT THE PRIME A-E. IF THE FIRM WAS THE

D-B DOR FOR A PROJECT, SUBMIT A PPQ FOR THE FIRM AND DO NOT SUBMIT THE

CPARS FOR THE PRIME CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR. IF THE FIRM WAS A

SUBCONSULTANT ON A PROJECT, DO NOT SUBMIT THE CPARS FOR THE PRIME A-

E; INSTEAD SUBMIT A PPQ FOR THE FIRM.

IF A CPARS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your SF330. If the firm is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before the response date set forth in this notice, firms should complete and submit with their responses the first page of the PPQ (Attachment (C)), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Firms may submit a PPQ previously submitted under a different Notice/RFP, such as NAVFAC or USACE Past Performance Questionnaires (legible copies are acceptable) as long as it is on the same form as posted with this synopsis. Firms should follow up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If requested by the client, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Hawaii, Code CON33, Attn: Alice Mende and Jennifer Lau via email at alice.s.mende.civ@us.navy.mil and jennifer.m.lau2.civ@us.navy.mil, prior to the response date. Firms shall not incorporate by reference into their response PPQs or CPARS previously submitted in response to other A-E services procurements. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Firms may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Criterion 1 Specialized Experience. Firms may also address any adverse past performance issues. Information shall not exceed two double-sided pages (or four single-sided pages) in total and will not be counted towards the SF330 page limitation. Include the information immediately after each evaluation that it is associated with in Section F.

The performance information shall be provided by the contracting agent and/or their representative responsible for the construction contract administration or from the facility owner/user. It shall not be from the prime construction contractor on a design-build project, nor shall it be from a prime contractor to a subcontractor. PPQs will be considered if it is prepared and signed by the project owner’s/client’s representative, i.e. someone who is authorized to provide evaluation/feedback on the A-E’s performance to show the client’s satisfaction. If the firm was hired as a sub-consultant to a Prime A-E, that Prime A-E cannot provide a PPQ; rather, the Prime A-E’s client must be the one to provide the PPQ. Past performance information not related to the projects described to meet Criterion 1 will not be considered.

Awards, letters of commendation, certificates of appreciation, etc. shall not be submitted and will not be considered in the evaluation.

The Government is not restricted to the past performance evaluations provided in the firm’s SF330 and may use other sources to access past performance information such as the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) database and inquiries with previous customers/owners. CPARS will be evaluated for the Prime A-E firm that will perform the work, and the Government’s search will be based upon the Prime A-E firm’s UEIN/CAGE.
