Question Responses

1 46 00 70 00 52.219-7 Please advise if Offerors must be 8(a) at time of proposal submission or award to be considered eligible for an award. For instance, if an Offeror is an 8(a) at time of proposal submission, but graduates from the program prior to award, is this firm still eligible for an award?

No, all firms must be in the 8(a) program at time of award.

2 10 00 21 16 4(1)(i) The experience requirements dictate at least one project have a minimum construction cost of $6.5 million. By its very nature, the $6.5 million requirement restricts competition. Respectfully requests the $6.5 million be lowered to $4 million to allow for greater stand-alone 8(a) contractor competition for this requirement.

See amendment 0002

3 ATTACH

MENT E

Attachment E states "Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation." Does this mean we are allowed to submit completed PPQs using the exact same format as Attachment E from other agencies?

Yes you are allowed to submit Attachment E and/or CPARS for projects from other agencies. The Government needs Attachment E and/or CPARS document. The RFP number from the other agency cannot be referenced only.

4 ATTACH

MENT E

Similar to the previous PPI, for completed commercial work similar in scope to the RFP, will we be allowed to submit already completed PPQs using the exact same format at your Attachment E?

Yes you are allowed to submit Attachment E and/or CPARS for projects from other agencies. We need Attachment E and/or CPARS document. The RFP number from the other agency cannot be referenced only.

5 8 of

00 21 16 4 RFP states that all information in the Offeror's proposal must have "1 inch margins, excluding headers and footers."

Certain forms, such as the SF1442 or SF24, do not adhere to the 1 inch margin requirement. Could you please confirm that deviating from the 1-inch margin requirement on standard forms such as these would not result in any penalties or rejection of our submission? i.e., please confirm that we don't need to modify standard forms to fit the 1" margin requirement.

You do not need to modify standard forms to meet the 1" margin requirements.

6 8 of

00 21 16 4 RFP states that all information in the Offeror's proposal must be "10-point (minimum), Times New Roman font."

Certain forms, such as the SF1442 or SF24, do not adhere to the 10-point Times New Roman font requirement. Could you please confirm that deviating from the 10-point Times New Roman requirement on standard forms such as these would not result in any penalties or rejection of our submission? i.e,. please confirm that we don't need to modify standard forms to fit the 10-point Times New Roman requirement.

You do not need to modify standard forms to meet the font requirement.

7 8 of

00 21 16 4 RFP states that all information in the Offeror's proposal must be "10-point (minimum), Times New Roman font."

Some documents, such as financial statements required as part of the responsibility determination, were generated in the past and do not have a Times New Roman font. We are unable to go back and change the font. Please confirm it is acceptable that documetns such as financial statements and previously completed & signed PPQs can be other fonts so long as they are legible?

You do not need to modify standard forms to meet the font requirement.

8 8 of

00 21 16 4(v) Regarding item (v) FAPIIS Certification - Please confirm that there are no additional documents Offerors should include in their proposals to satisfy this requirement.

Please see FAR 52.209-7.

Question Responses

9 9 of

00 21 16 3 As part of the responsibility determination information, Offerors are asked to provide a "description of Offeror's facilities and equipment." If the Offeror is a Joint Venture, should we submit only information for the Joint Venture, or should we also submit information for the individual members of the Joint Venture?

Information should be submitted for each company in the Joint Venture.

10 9 of

00 21 16 4 As part of the responsibility determination information, Offerors are asked to provide "other Offeror's work presently under contract." If the Offeror is a Joint Venture, should we submit only information for the Joint Venture, or should we also submit information for the individual members of the Joint Venture?

Information should be submitted for each company in the Joint Venture.

11 9 of

00 21 16 (b) Multiple locations within Section 00 21 16 require that all information contained in the Offeror's proposal must be "developed with Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat products only." Financial statements required for the responsibility determination are developed using our accounting system, which is not Microsoft Office nor Adobe Acrobat. However, the reports are generated by that system in Adobe PDF format, and will be submitted in Adobe PDF format. Is this acceptable?

Yes that is acceptable.

12 10 of

00 21 16 (1)(i)(1) RFP states: "Offerors shall have acted as the Prime Contractor on submitted projects." Given that this is an 8(a) set-aside MACC contract competition, many of the interested offerors will be small businesses who are in the process of developing their expertise. There are highly qualified small business 8(a) contractors who have a history of successful performance as a subcontractor.

In the interest of increasing opportunity to the 8(a) contractor pool, we respectfully request that NAVFAC consider removing this requirement. This will allow highly-qualified 8(a) contractors to submit relevant past performance where they have served as a subcontractor.

This is a NSWC Corona requirement.

Please bid in accordance with the

RFP.

13 12 of

00 21 16 (1)(i) RFP requires JV Offerors to submit the signed JV agreement, and 8(a) Mentor- Protégé Joint Venture Offerors to submit the SBA approved Mentor-Protégé agreement. Please indicate where within the non-price factor volume this information should be submitted?

Submit with Factor 1.

00 21 16 (3)(i) RFP states: "Offeror's plan for accomplishing the varied scope of work (Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build (fully designed)) for utility mechanical construction projects."

Please confirm - Are Offerors to only address their utility mechanical construction project approach for this general construction MACC?

See Amendment 0002

15 16 of

00 21 16 (3)(i) RFP states: "Offeror's plan to successfully complete mechanical design, construction, and acceptance."

Please confirm - Are Offerors to only address their mechanical design, construction, and acceptance approach for this general construction MACC?

See Ammendent 0002

16 16 of

00 21 16 (3)(i) RFP states: "Offeror's plan to address unanticipated requests needing immediate attention ( e.g. Emergency work can include, but not limited to, the following:

Knocked down light pole heads, poles, damaged electrical meter cabinets, damaged conductors, sensing elements, circuit breaker malfunctions, pedestrian signal heads, complete electrical failure, electrical fire exposed electrical conductors, and other operational equipment related issues.)"

This appears to indicate that all emergency work anticipated on this MACC will be related to electrical systems. Is this correct? If not, could you please provide examples of emergency work that may be expected that involves other systems?

See Amendment 0002.

17 16 of

00 21 16 (3)(i) The RFP requires submission of resumes for "each individual that will be assigned to this project." As a MACC contract, we will assign people to individual awarded TOs. We cannot select just a single Project Manager, Project Superintendent, Contractor Quality Control System Manager, and Site Safety and Health Officer to staff the entire MACC as this would limit our ability to take on multiple, concurrent TOs. We respectfully request NAVFAC eliminate this requirement, or explain what is required.

Please bid in accordance with the

RFP.

00 21 16 (4)(i) The RFP states: Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal." The RFP also provides a PPQ-0 template.

Please confirm that Offerors can submit previously completed PPQs in response to Factor 4, provided that they are included in their entirety within the Offeror's submission and not incorporated by reference?

Yes, Offerors can submit their own PPQ format as long as it covers all items requested in Attachment E.

00 21 16 (1)(i) Can we include photos as part of the description of the project on Attachment B?

Photos should not be included as part of the description on Attachment B.

00 21 16 Instructions to Offerors

Are we permitted to provide a Table of Contents in addition to the required documents?

See Amendment 0002.

21 18 of

00 21 16 (4)(i) Will the government allow Offerors to include previously completed Past Performance Questionnaires from the same customer points of contact in lieu of new Past Performance Questionnaires?

Can these be US Army Corps of Engineers surveys that have slightly different questions?

PPQs submitted shall contain, at a minimum, all the information required per Attachment E.

22 18 of

00 21 16 (4)(i) How many Past Performance Questionnaires can we submit for each project?

One (1) PPQ per project.

23 6 of

00 21 16 1.3.5 The RFP states: "A MACC awardee can only elect to withdraw from submitting a proposal on three (3) task order RFPs each year of the contract."

This is an unduly restrictive requirement and is not typical of NAVFAC's recent MACC contracts. We respectfully request that NAVFAC consider removing this requirement.

Agency is Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Corona Division.

Requirement remains.

Instruction s To

Offerors

4 Factor 1, Corporate Experience, part (i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements states: "Recent is defined as having been 100% completed within the five (5) years prior to the submission due date."

However, the RFP goes on to state:

"Projects submitted for the Offeror shall have been completed within the past five

(5) years from the date of issuance of this RFP. Projects which are not complete as of the date of issuance of this RFP will be considered "Not Relevant". Additionally, projects completed prior to five (5) years from the date of issuance of this RFP will be considered "Not Relevant."

Please clarify - is it 5 years from submission date, or 5 years from issuance date?

See Amendment 0002.

Instruction s To

Offerors

4 Factor 1 states: "At least (1) one project must have a final construction cost of at least $6,500,000."

However, the RFP also states that the maximum dollar value for TOs under this MACC is $6,500,000.

Given that the maximum dollar value is $6.5-M, requiring one project that is over $6.5-M seems excessive. We respectfully request that the Government change Factor 1 to require one project over $6-M. This will still demonstrate Offeror's with capabilities to execute projects at the larger end of the MACC's anticipated TO size spectrum, while keeping in line with the value of work anticipated under this

MACC.

See amendment 0002

26 10 4 1 Factor 1 The RFP calls for an 8(a) Firm to have a project of at least $6.5M. That is a large project for many 8(a)'s to have completed.

Our firm has several IDIQ Contracts with well over $20M in total Task Orders;

would the Gov't consider an IDIQ Contract Experience with an accumalative total over the $6.5M?

See amendment 0002

Question Responses

27 10 Factor 1 1 (i) Factor 1, Corporate Experience requires offerors to include at least one project with a final construction cost of at least $6,500,000. Most 8(a) contractors will have a difficult time meeting this stringent requirement. Will the Government consider reducing this requirement to $3 million?

See amendment 0002

28 10 Factor 1 1 (i) Factor 1, Corporate Experience requires projects to be 100% complete within five years of the submission due date. Would the Government consider amending this requirement to include construction projects that were either completed within the past five years or are at least 50% complete as of the RFP date?

See Amendment 0002.

29 10 Factor 1 1 (i) Factor 1, Corporate Experience requires projects to be 100% complete within five years of the submission due date. Would the Government consider amending this requirement to allow for one construction projects that is at least 50% complete as of the RFP date?

1.GENERAL

1.1 NOTICE TO OFFERORS

1.1.1 THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING ISSUED AS AN 8(a) SET-ASIDE. THE NAICS CODE FOR

THIS PROCUREMENT IS 236220 AND THE SIZE STANDARD IS $45M.

1.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS

1.2.1 This solicitation is formatted as a Request for Proposal (RFP) in accordance with the requirements designated by sections of the FAR 15.203. This method permits evaluation of proposals based on price competition, technical merit and other factors; permits impartial and comprehensive evaluation of Offerors' proposals; permits discussions if necessary; and ensures selection of the source(s) whose performance provides the best value to the Government. This acquisition will be solicited as a competitively negotiated procurement as an 8(a) set-aside.

1.2.2 The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any or all Offerors; to award the contracts to other than the Offeror submitting the lowest total price; to award to other than the Offeror submitting the highest technically rated proposal; and to award to the Offeror submitting the proposal determined by the Government to be the most advantageous (best value) to the Government. OFFERORS ARE ADVISED THAT 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 will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to qualify, discuss, or revise their proposals. However, the Government reserves the right to clarify certain aspects of proposals or conduct discussions providing an opportunity for the Offeror to revise its proposal.

1.3 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF CONTRACT

1.3. l This acquisition will result in the award of a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP), Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) for facilities primarily at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division (NSWC, Corona) for use at NSWC, Corona’s locations (Norco, CA, Seal Beach, CA and Fallbrook, CA). The Government intends to award approximately five (5) contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offerors whose proposals represent the best values after evaluation in accordance with the factors and their relative importance, unless more or less than five (5) is determined to be the best value to the government by the Source Selection Authority.

1.3.2 Projects to be performed under this MACC will require the ability to manage multiple task orders concurrently. This MACC will encompass minor Construction, renovation, and repairs at NSWC, Corona.

The selected contractor(s) will be responsible for all labor, supervision, engineering, design, materials, equipment, tools, parts, supplies, and transportation to perform all of the services described in the drawings and specifications provided for each individual project. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, management, materials, supplies, equipment, tools, and transportation to perform all work associated with various construction, renovation, or repair projects at assorted buildings and structures at NSWC, Corona.

1.3.3 The completion date for the IDIQ contracts is five (5) years from the date of contract award. The total five-year ordering period estimated construction cost for all contracts is not to exceed $$42,620,000 for the life of the contract. Projects for the MACC have an estimated construction cost between $100,000.00 and $6,500,000.00; however, smaller and larger dollar value projects may be considered at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. The Government guarantees an award amount of $2000.00 to each successful Offeror.

1.3.4 After award of the initial contracts and "seed" project, the successful IDIQ contractors will compete for task orders based on best value, using the tradeoff process or lowest price technically acceptable (to include lowest price). Only the successful IDIQ MACC contractors will compete for task orders.

1.3.5 The intent of this contract is that all MACC Contractors participate in pre-proposal conferences and site-visits and submit proposals on each task order. Contract awardees will be expected to submit a proposal for all Task Order Requests for Proposal (RFP) received from the Government. However, in the event a MACC awardee is unable to submit a proposal on a particular RFP, the contractor is required to notify, in writing, the Contracting Officer who issued the RFP and the ACO for the basic contract within five (5) working days from receipt of the RFP. A MACC awardee can only elect to withdraw from submitting a proposal on three (3) task order RFPs each year of the contract.

1.3.6 Each task order will contain project specific evaluation factors that will vary depending on the unique requirements for each task order. Additionally, each task order will cite a specific completion date and associated liquidated damages.

1.3.7 Contractor Performance Information: Contractor's performance will be evaluated using the respective contractor performance evaluation report entry system located on the website http://www.cpars.gov/. Prior to commencement of work the contractor is required to provide the government with the name, phone number and email address of the "Contractor's Representative" that will be responsible for receipt and review of draft performance evaluations prepared by the government in the appropriate system. It is the contractor's responsibility to keep this contact information current.

2. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE SEED PROJECT

2.1 The initial project ("seed project") that will be awarded as the first task order concurrently with the basic contract is building (“BLDG” or “B”) 204 Conference Room 105 Minor Renovation. B204 is listed on the National Historic Registry and is currently being used for multiple purposes such as office space, storage, laboratory workspace, and shipping and receiving. It is located in the Lake Norconian district outside of the controlled inner compound. The primary group using the facility is Range Systems (RS).

Room 105 is currently being used as a temporary conference room, but lacks the lighting, HVAC and finishes to serve this purpose efficiently. The rooms, which will be renovated in the building, will be vacant during this project’s construction phase.

* Solicitation Section 01 00 00 will include the General Requirements for the seed project.

Pursuant to FAR 52.232-18, Availability of Funds, the Government's obligation under this solicitation, or any task order or contract that might result from the solicitation is entirely subject to, and contingent upon, the availability of appropriated funds. Should the Government be unable to award the seed project, the Government guarantees an award in the amount of $2,000.00 to each successful Offeror upon award of the MACCs. This minimum guarantee is over the full term of the contract. No legal liability on the part of the Government shall arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer and a task order or contract is awarded by the Contracting Officer. Any Offeror proposing on this solicitation does so at its own cost and with the full knowledge that a task order for the seed project, might not result from this solicitation.

3. BASIS FOR AWARD

1. The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contracts; to negotiate with Offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contracts to the Offerors submitting the proposals determined to represent the best value-the proposals most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

2. 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 l5.306(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.

3. 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.

4. As stated in the solicitation, 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. The importance of price will increase if the Offerors' non-cost/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-cost/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.

5. 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(s) and the associated risk to successful contract performance resulting from the weakness(s). This assessment must provide the rationale for proceeding to award without discussions.

4. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

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

Factor 1 - Corporate experience Factor 2- Safety Factor 3 - Management Approach Factor 4 - Past Performance

2. The relative order of importance of the non-cost/price evaluation factors is the technical (factors 1, 2 and

3) are of equal importance to each other, when combined are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment (factor 4). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-cost/price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors' non-cost/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-cost/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.

3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.
