Design Experie nce

In response to multiple PPIs regarding whether the seed project requires design, the Government referenced revised Attachment H and Amendment 3. However, there is still a conflict between the requirement for Factor 1, which states "While the seed project is not design-build, design-build projects may be contemplated under this MACC" and the revised Attachment H, which states "The Contractor is responsible for a feasible, economical and fully functional design for construction of B204 Room 105 renovation."

PPI # Reference Question Responses

08/03/23 133 RFP, 18 (4) Factor 4, Past

Performance

2 The National Defense Authorization Act FY2021 authorizes prime contractors to complete PPQs on behalf of first-tier subcontractors. The guidance in this act is that the Government is responsible for reviewing these past performance ratings for offers on prime contracts with the Federal Government. The DOR in a design-build procurement is a subcontractor to the prime.

Previously, the Government has restricted the use of the Offeror as prime contractor as a responder to a PPQ for a designer. This is unduly burdensome, as the general contractor's/prime's only option becomes trying to find willing, responsive Government POCs who are familiar with the design. The Government POC or authority may not be explicitly aware of the design effort or may be less able to explain that effort. Oftentimes, these Government POCs are no longer available to provide this feedback in their current roles. We respectfully request the Government permit the Offeror/Prime to provide PPQ ratings to its designer with justification to reduce this burden on general contractors.

This is acceptable.

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.
